  • GM ditching CarPlay & Android Auto for Google-built infotainment system

    Beyond being a shit brand to begin with in terms of reliability, this move will bite them in the ass HARDCORE... Just look at the backlash BMW faced when they tried making services like CarPlay, or worse, heated seats, a "subscription"!

    Those execs working at GM need to be put out onto the streets!

  • The BBC is advising staff to remove TikTok from work phones

    It's about damned time this BS, brain-rotting app be banned from ALL Western countries!

    Remember, mainland China gets a version of TikTok that is motivational, uplifting, educational, and inspiring to ITS people, and the rest of the world gets the version that is DESIGNED to DAMAGE the psyche of the youth and young adults using it, this is now proven as FACT.

  • Google bizarrely believes that iPhone photos can be fixed on a Pixel

    It's an odd situation in which a Pixel owner could save the day by fixing blurry or low-quality photos from others. Perhaps the iPhone user had unwittingly turned on Low Quality Image Mode in Settings.


    It's not entirely bizarre, given that Pixel hardware has been increasingly specialized to run the AI-assisted software. iPhones have a version of Lens available, but friends/family borrow my phone for the instant/live translation, transcription & OCR functions the 7/7Pro chipsets can do within a moment of opening the camera. I borrow their Apple devices to use iOS only software like Procreate when it's the best for something I'm working on.

    All the device ecosystems have specific stuff they do particularly well.  
    I use both iPhone and Android for the same reason. There are things my iPhone can accomplish, or at least accomplish better, than my Pixel can.  The same with my Pixel which can do things my iPhone cannot, and some other things it just does better. They're both great phones. I'm not afraid to use both, in fact doing so has been eye-opening. 
    Assigning the term "great" to Android is frankly repulsive, as there's NOTHING redeeming or "great" about these knockoffs, after more than a decade of them trying. But then this came from you, so not surprised by it.
