27gb of files on an external HDD plugged into the USB port; Due to the slowness of an external HDD, all my 32gb+ flash drives are being used and don't care about the wait time if I don't need to sit there and babysit it. My car is never connected to WiFi. Not worried about collected data.
I agree. Let's cut the middle man and force 100% automated driving. People can fuck in the back then with less likely to die than with humans with stupid cars without assistance driver aids. Driving is extremely dangerous and honestly I trust ai over other people (in USA).
Pixel 8 comes with 7 years of OS updates. Also pure OS so no preinstalled bloatware. For all Pixel devices so far, with a click of a setting can unlock the boot loader to root and flash custom roms as suggest by user below. IDK why anyone would use anything but Pixel phones for their Android experience.
Might I suggest your next Android phone be a Pixel so you can avoid having that bloat to begin with? I only buy pure android devices as my primary phone so don't need to deal with the crap preloaded and locked down. Not suggesting moving to Android as your primary due what you mentioned but there is a night and day difference between pre installed bloadware phones from 3rd parties and pure Android OS ones from Google. Pixel 8 will come with 7 years of OS updates too; Just my 2 cents.
Does it matter? She is still a stuck up B.
