I can relate to the comment. Within the last month Google messages has required me to resync my tablet app several times. Fixing that required logging out all devices and changing the login method. Speaking of messages, the tablet app is... Not very good. Messages take a long time to notify there, well after my watch, and when I open the app the message still takes a couple seconds to show up as it is apparently retrieving the message from the phone app. Even though the message is (still) shown in the notification. Reading messages on the tablet don't clear the read receipt on the phone. Various random bugs seem to popup. On the phone I randomly get pictures or messages I had written to OTHER PEOPLE waiting to be sent. Google messages is king of a shit app and I greatly miss Textra and even Samsung Messages. Thank you Google for not opening the RCS API to third parties.

But that's just messages. Googles auto fill service has sucked from day one. Often I will click a username or password multiple times trying to get the popup to show up. I'll then sigh, go open Bitwarden, copy my password, go back to the app, click on the password field, and then... the fucking auto fill popup appears. This experience has been shit from day one and Google has never made any attempt to fix it that I can see.

Android Autos new split screen is nice. But every once in a while the maps side will become unresponsive. Or the media app just dissapears and I have a black in its place. Only way to fix that is to unplug the phone and plug it back in. Super fun driving down the road.

I really could go on and on... Google has a habit of dumping random features in the OS and then never bothering to update again as they go on to their next shiny feature like the dog from the movie Up when someone yells squirrel. Apple users may be smug with their "just works" mantra, and they are not immune to bugs like any software developer, but it really does seem to be a more polished experience devoid of issues like the above. It's also a lot more boring.... but I can understand why someone would make a switch. Attributing another person's issues to user error because you THINK the android experience is flawless seems rather snarky.

Yeah seems like ignorance or maybe he got so held up on trying to make the best decision possible that he got into decision paralysis. It happens to all of us at some point. But fucking 10 years. At least the money is still there and hopefully this will get something rolling.

It's all out there in the public filings. It's not a matter of taxes, the issue is they haven't made ANY charitable donations at all since 2014 despite publicly claiming they were. He may have not been aware of it for some time, but even after he said he discovered it he kept making public claims that his all the money was going to charities.

The money has just been sitting in an account paying administrative fees. The good news is most the money is still there and he has an opportunity to make it right.

There is way too much tracking of my information as it is. I don't need my name tracked every time I buy a coke. Maybe it's time to move on from plastic bottling. Be better to move on to something that is actually recyclable or at least breaks down when disposed.

Well yeah, if you were paying $50 a GB wouldn't you too? Got to lock that shit down!

If it wasn't $1600 maybe I could buy that. But at that price I am expecting a little bit more and only including 8 gb is pathetic.

I just ordered one of those pillows last night. Can't wait to try it out.

It helps when we let them build virtual monopolies with almost no regulation.

“Farmers and consumers need to not only be able to trust the regulation of the products they use but trust that the government has made decisions based on agreed-upon and established science, facts and data.”

Yeah that's the thing. We DON'T trust any of you fucks.

I googled her and would say there is a strong resemblance. Guess when they make the movie we know who can play Firiona Vie.

It might come from those cheap portable models. I tried one my mom had and the cycles were very obvious. It was difficult to do anything where I had to hold a temp, even doing a simple simmer was hard because it would go from boiling to nothing repeatedly. Things constantly burned on it due to poor temp regulation. I know it was a shitty model and I expect full size models to be much better, but it was a concern of mine as well.

I do hope to pick up an induction within a year or two. Can't really afford it at the moment though.
