Fitbit ends sales in nearly 30 countries to 'align' with Pixel

  • Google Home Maxes (both EOL’d)

    Except they continue to work perfectly. What would you like to see changed? Since it runs in the cloud, you're always getting up to date Google assistant tech on them. When Google adds new commands to Google Assistant, Google Home Max automatically gets them. A firmware update is not required.

    a Google OnHub (updates stopped after ~18 months)

    Google OnHub is part of what I said in my original comment. Google WiFi got fucked. However, you're completely lying.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_OnHub

    Released 2015.

    and

    "In December 2021, Google announced that OnHub routers would no longer receive any software or security updates."

    18 months is 1.5 years. 2016 - 2021 is 5 years. Not sure why you're lying?

    HTC M7(8?) Google Play Edition, Nexus…I had bad luck, but I’m not trusting another piece of Google hardware for my life.

    The fact you're using examples from 2013 to criticize Google a decade later is wild. I guess it's easier to just be ignorant and hateful.

    • Original Samsung Galaxy Fold will no longer get updates

  • Google has kept every Pixel update promise so far. Why would you assume the 8 wouldn't get the updates they promised?

    They quite literally have a perfect Pixel track record.

    Samsung is the company that promises updates and then releases them on carrier locked phones and for some random reason not the unlocked variants, and then claim they fulfilled their promise lmao

    • WhatsApp head confirms in-app ads are still in the works

  • Telegram is great. Pioneers of chat apps, honestly. They have every feature first, and no matter how many they add, their app seems to never become a bloated piece of shit.

    I've recently switched from Telegram to RCS, but I used Telegram for nearly a decade.

  • The Nexus Q was given away at no cost to attendees of Google I/O, but the product's consumer launch was indefinitely postponed the following month, purportedly to collect additional feedback. Those who had pre-ordered the Nexus Q following its unveiling received the device at no cost.

    So again, Google decided not to launch something, and people got it for free.

    Google may be wishy washy for many things, but I'd argue their hardware support is mostly pretty good.

  • Fitbit has premium subscriptions. Not sure why anyone bought them to begin with.

    Even before Google, Fitbit made it hard/impossible to sync your stats with other apps.

    Get a Mi Band or something better.

  • Pixel gets more updates than Samsung. Chromecast is pretty well supported. Google Homes are supported.

    The only Google hardware that still exists that I can remember off the top of my head, that got fucked, is Google WiFi. They stopped updating it months before they released Nest WiFi.

    They shut down stadia, but everyone got a full refund.
