Eh, I gotta be in just the right mood to watch anime (otherwise it just kind of annoys me) but every once in a while their movies just kinda hit the spot, Never watched any of them when I was a kid, I mostly just like them for the vibe.
Yes, their flagships are great. I used them exclusively since the Z1 up until I got a Pixel for super cheap and a year of unlimited service thrown in. Not sure what the dev scene is like these days but part of the reason I switched was because it was pretty much stock Android which is what was modding the old phones to get to anyways, so I didn't really follow it after switching.
I do know that their bootloaders are unlockable though.
I wonder if it has anything to do with a 24 corporate news cycle and social media that is designed to drive up viewership by sensationalizing every story and focusing on fear while either entirely ignoring or poorly representing actual problems in favor of whatever makes them more money with little to no regard for rigid fact checking or aggressively calling out lies when it is inconvenient.
Yeah, I've only bought Xperia and Pixel for years for this very reason. Switched away from Samsung after getting fed up with their bullshit software and bootloader shenanigans, especially after the dev community moved towards other, better phones. If Google ever completely shits the bed on bootloaders/custom firmware, I'm gone.
This post highlights how shitty Google is about taking cool features away from paying customers.
Just how is it "Google propaganda"???
Edit: I see you had time to downvote the question but couldn't be bothered to answer it.
We will just have to assume your statement was total bullshit and you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but please do feel free to correct that assumption if is incorrect!
I remember when Photosphere worked on just about any device until Google decided to fuck that up for everyone. They sure do love to fuck up cool and/or functional things that people love!
I bought an 8 all excited to have Photosphere again only to discover that Google shit the bed even on the Pixel series. What the actual fuck Google? Why are you so shit?
It's like you're begging us to install Graphene or swtich to iOS.
Stop actively making everything shittier! It only hurts your bottom line as people get fed up with this bullshit and move away from Google because it's constantly destroying the apps and features people love.
Arrr, what dickery be this "Hulu"?
