Yes. I went to my first Google I/O 10 years ago and my second today.

2014: Introduced Android L, Android Wear, Android TV and Android Auto.

2024: Gemini Nano… still not publicly available to app developers. 💀

Bummer. Maybe there will be more options when Android 15 launches, it is adding the option to choose the default wallet app.

Security-wise that is significantly worse. Google Pay generates a random card number per transaction and isn’t active when the phone is locked.

I keep my credit cards in an NFC blocking sleeves because the passive NFC can’t be turned off. Someone could literally bump into you and cause a transaction.

How exactly is AOSP not FOSS and debloated?

Kinda hard to take any of this seriously with those claims…

Yes, worst clickbait title I’ve seen in a while. Health Connect was announced 2 years ago…

I’m in California and it’s been years since I’ve been somewhere that didn’t have Apple/Google Pay at the register. I don’t shop there but Walmart is the only place I know of that doesn’t have it (because they track users via credit card).

The only real annoying thing here is that restaurants still take your card instead of bringing the machine to your table like they do in Canada and Europe.

Not to be a dick, but how/why is that useful? It’s not a package I need to physically go get or something. It’s deposited into an account (super fast if you do your taxes early). This also assumes I’m getting a refund.

Like 50-70% of places still don’t have tap to pay.

Out of curiosity, what country is this?

Couldn’t agree more. I forgot to mention that the M7 also just looked better.

I think so. My partner, a couple friends and I all had them and none of us had the issue though.

I don’t really get why the M8 is remembered so fondly but the M7 isn’t.

Is it just that way more people bought the M8? The M7 was truly innovative and the M8 was only a small iteration on top.

Sadly that’s sorta lemmy in a nutshell.

I switched to Bluetooth earbuds long before phones started removing the headphone jack…

A company investing in a startup does not mean they are “involved” in any way.

Apparently nobody here realizes that Meet is the video chat app for Google’s enterprise work (and school) suite of apps.

It’s not going anywhere…

You and I have wildly different definitions of the word “many” lol

You can hide them with the normal app. Just click the “x” on your main feed.

Rumor is this one (the G4) is the last one based on exynos. G5 is allegedly completely custom and uses TSMC fab.

I’m running 12.2 on “unsupported hardware” (x86 proxmox) without a problem.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I’m just hoping they come to their senses and go back to the better form factor of the original one for the 3rd (that will presumably have the completely custom Tensor G5)
