On Google Pixel screensaver dimming broken after November update ·
Yeah!; 8 pro user. I'm still on 16, Feb update 😤. For some reason I waited on the March update & glad I did. Personally I think Google has been letting software engineers go and using their crappy AI to write updates 🤬!

Just the fact that we're comparing Pixel to Apple speaks volumes as to how far they've come. I use an 8 pro, my lovely wife is an Apple core (since the 4 😁) and she has started to ask me to take the pictures now 😂. Suit yourself 😋!

More & more I think Google's software is great in concept but poor in execution 😤! Methinks they let a lot of software engineers go & are trying to write updates with that 'not ready for prime time' Gemini 🤔🤬! Its always something! My third pixel; had my 5a brick in my hand while using it! This might be my last; too bad cuz I really like these phones! And don't get me started on the quality of many of the parts, WiFi especially 😡!

On 5 features the iPhone Duo shamelessly copied from Android foldables ·
This from Steve Jobs who famously said in 1996: "Picasso had a saying -- 'good artists copy; great artists steal' -- and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas."
