I would use it more often. But it just really bothers me that you still cannot create reminders that don’t have specific times or dates attached to them from the google assistant. Especially since I like to follow more of the Getting Things Done system and I don’t always know when I will get around to something.

Ok Google, Remind me to do something

Ok, “Do Something”, when do you want to be reminded?

Don’t remind me

Nothing’s been set

I’m personally hoping that you can use the hub mode with custom screensavers. Then I think that might actually be useful to me

I can definitely confirm that. My grandma owns a Galaxy tab A7 lite and it is so slow. And I can’t get it to go any faster no matter what I do. I have no idea how she tolerates that thing, though she does mainly use it just for Facebook, as well as a few solitaire games, including one that hasn’t been updated since like 2017.

I hope they fix the haptic issues on the pixel 6A whenever connectivity is low

I think, kind of just that. I personally do not want a Samsung device because I really don’t like their bloatware nor how they try to build an entire ecosystem on top of Android, and I’ve been already trying to move away from iPad because of the limits of iPadOS.

Google’s devices just strike out to me as being everything I want really. Minimal bloat, a nice hardware design, a bootloader that’s unlockable, an acceptable quality camera, and a predictable hardware support cycle. Yeah, there’s definitely improvements that need to be done, but so far, but the Android tablet market is already pretty limited so Google just feels like a safe bet to me.

I personally love Vivaldi. It’s really been the only browser for me that’s met everything I wanted. Customizable, looks good. And has a whole synchronization suite as well.

I honestly just don’t want to use Firefox at this point because I’m sick of Mozilla and their bad financial records (in 2021, the CEO gave themselves a 5 million bonus. And a good majority of their money still comes from Google), and the fact that they’ve kind of shifted their priorities away from Firefox in favor of more political activism activities. Which is annoying because Firefox is still the only other browser that has everything I need.

Yeah I do wish Vivaldi was fully open source but they’ve already mentioned that a lot of their stuff is besides their UI (which they’re keeping private for branding reasons). I think Its kind of ridiculous, but it’s not that big of a deal I guess since right now Vivaldi is just Chromium with an extra coat of paint.

It’s funny because who wouldn’t smoke pot doing hacking for a living? That stuff’s hard.
