Bunch of negativity on Apple UI recently, but you gotta give Apple credit for supporting really old phones. Google Pixel, forget about it lol

Pixels 8 and later get 7 years. Not as good as Apple but reasonable.

Pixels 6-7 got 5 years. I'd say that's on the low end of okay.

For "lol" you have to go back to 2021 or earlier. Or look at some of Motorola's offerings.

Remember when the CEO of Google testified before Congress that if they were allowed to purchase DoubleClick and enter the advertising market that they wouldn't link your use of Google services with your advertising profile?

I'll believe Google's promises after they keep them, not before.

We really should be requiring these types of things to be bonded, i.e., if Google says that, they have to bond all company owned stock and all executive stock options and compensations against it.

Same for politicians; they make a claim, they have to sign a bond against all their assets that they’ll do it after the election.

Like a cease and desist letter, but inverted. Persist and insist, perhaps?
