Still really curious to find out if the rumors of it being a battery hog are true. I was set on finally upgrading my Note 20 Ultra to an S25 Ultra, but not if battery life is a mess

As someone else that's started running in the morning in the last year, can confirm. I feel like I barely have any control of my life. The running is the only thing that makes me feel good right now.

Honestly not too familiar with that. I imagine if they're touting this as a new thing, FRP either does something different or was lacking compared to this in some way.

Though it is Google, they could have just killed FRP in favor of this and added messaging features like they do with everything else

For what it's worth, they're trying to fix that with Android 15. Not sure if this is one of the features they'll also be back porting to older phones too like this article briefly touches on, but either way it sounds like if you factory reset the phone, it can't be set up again unless they know your login: https://www.wired.com/story/android-15-theft-detection-lock/

Google says in a blog post, the company is adding four data protection features that can help keep your information locked down. The first stops your phone from being set up after a factory reset, unless the person knows your login details. “This renders a stolen device unsellable, reducing incentives for phone theft,” Google vice president Suzanne Frey writes.

Honestly this movie in general was peak "I want to like this movie so bad but I legitimately can't"

All is forgiven when he turns around and gives the audience that award winning smile

Wow, nature is so unique and interesting! By the way, please never show me this picture again!

A publicly traded company prioritizing consumer satisfaction over short term profits? Learning from their "mistakes" after they still got a shit ton of money for it anyways and probably will if they do it again? I'm not banking on it.

I'm honestly ready to not support Xbox anymore after this. They've been non-stop fumbling the ball with game releases this generation. Hi-Fi Rush was the first game that came out that I felt was phenomenal and such a breathe of fresh air, and they just straight killed the studio anyways. Killing studios that make good games is not how you foster a gaming platform people want to be part of.

But you can literally buy a cheap android phone for less than this device that does everything it does (and might do some day), maybe even better. Why buy a strange and unfamiliar form factor, when most people are comfortable with a smartphone already? They can just choose not to interact with anything other than the assistant if they really want to, and still be better off.

This is a prime example of the sick, twisted shit people are going start using AI to generate. Absolutely deplorable

I have a ton of assorted ones from over the years. Here's a select few:

• Play the Wii Shop Theme when I open the Play Store
• Turn on Samsung's built in Protect Battery feature at night, and automatically turn it off when my alarm goes off in the morning
• Open Spotify automatically when I connect to my car's Bluetooth
• Turn on Silent mode when I get close to work and disconnect from my car, and turn it back off when I reconnect to my car's Bluetooth
• Set my AoD to Tap to Show when I have no notifications, but change it to Always On when I have notifications from apps I mark important
• Track my earbuds' battery life via a persistent notification when they're connected to my phone
• React to double tapping volume up when not playing media to toggle the flashlight, and ditto with the volume down to open the camera
• Clear persistent system notifications that I don't want or care about that otherwise normally won't let you clear them or turn them off (take that Google)

Eventually, Kars stopped thinking

That was clearly a kick, not a punch. Happy to help.

I hope something significant happens because of this, but somehow I just see Apple walking away with a slap on the wrist before continuing to engage in anti-consumer practices like nothing happened

Is this a Land of the Lustrous reference

This. I used to use Tasker and AutoInput to automatically reboot my phone every night. You can train AutoInput to tap on stuff in a sequence. I had Tasker pull up the Power Menu and AutoInput tap the Restart button. You can probably do similar with the Power Off button there

Genuinely, this is the best news I've heard in a while for the reasons you listed. Apple is already fucking up the phone industry with anti-consumer policies that become industry trends. I shudder to imagine how deeply and irrepairably they would have fucked up the car market for consumers.

Bro I remember seeing the original picture posted in 2003

Also the process of "enshitification" has already started taking place on reddit due to its popularity.

I started using reddit in 2011. Trust me when I say this isn't a new trend. Reddit's has been noticeably and actively getting shittier since at least 2015 as it continued to get more and more popular
