Mine kept deleting my numbers and I gave up at some point. It was great, a decade ago

Liked. They make it worse every day, there's just not a viable alternative. Without revanced and 5 different plugins on the browser, I'd have stopped using it already

I went from a Galaxy S20 to a Pixel 8 and frankly I miss the S20. Build quality sucks. My screen creaks and I hate the camera ridge especially. Whole thing feels cheap and it's not even very root friendly anymore like Nexus phones, which is the whole reason I got it.

Pixel phones are garbage compared to Nexus line at the time. Android is garbage now too, like the OP said. Chromebook is gonna have to turn itself into a real platform with powerful machines and software to ever be relevant beyond disposal classroom computers. Frankly I think SteamOS has a better chance at making a comeback, and that's a long shot.

The era of random apps trying to post on my wall made me never use Facebook for sign on. Well that, and Facebook

Never buy chain pizza at menu price. They all run specials all the time, that are around half off. They keep menu prices high so that they can constantly run buy one get one promos and specials to make you think you're getting a deal. They also happen to gouge people who won't bother checking the deals section

The amount of man hours this would require would bankrupt even Google. You'd be better off building a new index of whitelisted sites

A URL query is pretty damn low on things that make me feel like a fancy nerd. Add it by default to your browser's search function so it applies to all searches automatically

It's not scalable. Sure you could have humans comb through the most common 1000 or so results, but there's got to be billions of unique searches every day

Wonder if that strictly means lessons learned in development, or if it hints at onboard processing like a Quest. I've been more impressed with smaller headsets like bigscreen than standalone units lately

You also need to factor in opportunity cost or concede that your free time doesn't have value.

If you value your free time at the same rate that you work hourly, then suddenly it's very hard to save money by spending more time. If you value free time as overtime equivalent, it gets even worse.

Fwiw the switch is also significantly more portable. I love my deck but I only use it at home in bed or on the couch. I wouldn't really try using it in public.
