When the Find My Device network came to my device I was literally asked if I want my device to be part of it, so even though by default it's an opt-out feature, everyone whose device can be connected to the network is asked if they want that to happen.
Seems like it's just another switch toflick off and forget about
Reading up on the blog posts and technical overviews for the new Find My Device network all of it seems well anonimized and local device to device coms not using GPS, and can be declined if needed.
I mean, it's still Google, but honestly I've been looking forward for this feature despite being very privacy conscious. I really want to use trackers on my bike, suitcase, etc.
Looking forward to the "Make all apps dark" setting
Android OS updates have been somewhat lackluster since Android 8/9. The OS and smartphones in general are increasingly becoming mature products with little true differentiation.
They will try to leverage "AI" to accelerate upgrade cycles, but we'll see how that goes.
Yep, and as someone that has carried a work iPhone and a personal Android for years now, they're pretty close to the same too.
I mean, as far as usage/usability they do sort of what we want at this point.
Literally the only reason I use android is because of custom launchers and the ability to use a file explorer. Everything else is just the same
Can you please not editorialize the post title when you make the video your post link?
Could they just please post an article instead of a video with 10% info, 90% drivel?
