Not like they have made anything with innovative with pixel anyways, other their obsession with using AI
I really do not want anything innovative in my phone TBH. Android works ok and the heavy lifting is done with apps. I really don’t want Google to move more crappy features into the OS and I really do not need stuff like those LIDAR sensors modern iPhones have. Just give me a smartphone with several years of security updates, enough speed to run my programs without issues, give me a good camera and I’m fine.
Correction:
Other than their obsession with using ai to surveillance & use that to control everyone in different ways
remember that android core app, that used to spy on people. nothing very useful.
Isnt that like all phone makers recently?
Their cameras and image processing tech were innovative at the beginning right? They were beating out most other phone manufacturers until they caught up. Also their folding phones seemed pretty innovative in regards to their form factor. Idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
pixel has better camera than some other androids, but thats about it. theres very little difference between androids relatively speaking.
Not true security wise. Only stock. Graphene can run on Pixels only.
We better fork the hell out of Android & create another AppStore but with MicroG
GrapheneOS, aurora store, etc its already here
i got the aurora store, after i heard about the android coree app that would appear.
Is there anything that could make the installation routine in Aurora more stable?
When there are updates for apps, I sometimes need to download them two or three times and the download or the installation afterwards doesn’t run through properly. It’s aborted too often. So updating several apps takes several attempts and a lot of time.
Anyone else got this problem with Aurora?
As in we need to legitimize it via adopting payments & telling devs to put their apps here first (& possibly Federate these appstores)
10years ago I was told that if everyone from my graduating class across the USA went into computer science there still would be too many developer jobs to fill. I wish I could go back. With so many layoffs im competing with hundreds thousands for jobs, fml
Everyone needs to start creating Unionozed-cooperative businesses. Sharing the load that there can be more jobs. Not enough businesses being made
Got told the same thing about systems administration 20 years ago. I struggled in my initial years. It’s just an upsell to get more people paying for school.
10 years ago jobs for cs majors were pretty poor prospects already(as with all stem majors(, I think the Prof was out of touch. I was in a state school in West Coast,where a large percentage of students were cs, majors and the most common complaint is the jobs. This is from multiple forums, + in person experience. I had several people I know who had cs majors, job prospects are lacking,so they went to another state. Seems like they shouldve just got programming certifications instead, I’m not a techie. If their idea is to getting into development and research, like stem, it’s extremely difficult to get into.
I went back to school and now im about to graduate.
It’ll work out.
That’s amazing! Good for you. What are you studying?
Computer science lmao. I started construction in 08 crash, now going to attempt to start white collar work now. Preferably software work but I’d take IT too to get started
IT is probably a reasonable job to get into theres usually demand for that.
The job market is nuts right now for computer related work, but yeah im sure something will work out
That’s fantastic! IT is how I got started.
Why would they need more staff if they plan on developing it in a closed source manner now?
Maybe that’s why the pixel and watch updates in March were so flawed.
Good, they’ve been pushing out updates nobody wanted for years now
