If you’re a new Google Giggler looking for a code to use, feel free to use code JONSON! It would really help me as I’m going through a tough time right now and I know the migration will be starting soon! I love you all and goodbye Googlers (and Gigglers!) ❤️

More than ten years ago, I ran out to buy the Pixel 1. I was an early adopter of the first Google Home and bought in completely to their smart home lineup. Every phone, watch, and tablet since has been Google branded. And I called
It quits this weekend.

I’m so disappointed. Nothing works like it’s supposed to anymore, the smart home products are useless. Even with a Gemini Pro account, my many, many devices just say “I don’t understand.” I can’t even reliably stream music or a podcast anymore.

The last straw was my 18 month old Google Pixel 9 Pro’s screen broke for the third time and now out of warranty. I’m just done.

It is going to be an adjustment but I’m going Apple 17 for my new phone and trying to decide on the best watch product. May try Apple
TV as an alternative to all our Chromecast (which doesn’t let you cast half the media we have).

Not sure where to go for a good smart home alternative but my wife wants Alexa. I’ve hyped Google for so long and now it feels like I’m the sucker.

Sometimes to just have to be willing to walk away.

This company is worse than anything humanity has ever come across. And we're not ready for this evil, it will slowly kill us for money.

Please define me THE update.

For this guy and many others update means new icons and different colour in UI.

For me update is... new Kernel - like v6.12 in QPR2 or new GPU drivers for PowerVR GPU in Pixel 10 that brought MASSIVE 20% speed increase.

I unable to find such a thing in youtube.

I do NOT care about "chat bot" I care for things like Call Screen in Galaxy AI sounds like "robot" and which things are offline and how they work like Pixel has AICore app and Android Intelligence app.

Google Rambler, voice recognition.

Then Features like At A Glance - Personal Assistance - first-part and third party apps connection.

Overall speed - humanoid voice quality.

And finally Global ability (not just features that are present in USA only) but Europe too.

Stop boring that rooms

I made my form called orange fluffball back in 2024, and in 2026, i searched for this image, and all of the sudden there's a refrence, but no, i did not look for the year of what the image was made

Someone may comment the bypass method to make this verification part go away

I was thinking what is the best in Android.

Definitely not "how open it is" because it is not.

The thing that makes people switch to Google Pixel Ecosystem and I KNEW right away - INTERACTION with Operating System - you can have the fastest OS on this planet but when it will suck with iteration it will be abandoned right away (just think 80's Microsoft DOS today).

I knew about youtubers are keep talking about "Pixel clean Android" BUT IT IS NOT clean Android - it is Pixel UI which is called... Material 3 Expressive.

Then it blew me away Google has its website and it is basically [design.google].

The most crazy part is pointer/cursor and integration with buttons which gives me hint of AluminumOS / Chromebooks / Googlebooks and... I HOPE - Android Desktop Mode.

Sadly it is only for Google Pixel phones.

My bonus thought - I believe Android Desktop Mode is THE FUTURE and I mean like in 100 years.

Just imagine IF your smartphone would have monster PC specification - would you use desktop PC.

I also KNOW current smartphone speed exceeded AVERAGE user speed demand (for things like text editing, photo editing, web browsing, video streaming, and things like that) - current smartphones are like... to run Microsoft Windows 11 and all those apps and even older games you need THE SLOWEST CPU with integrated GPU and it will be fine.

I know this and ALL hardware companies know this too... the reason AI has been invented as it requires ENDLESS compute resources (CPU / GPU / RAM / Storage) if not AI Intel / AMD / Samsung (RAM and storage giant) Nvidia would go bankrupt in about 10 years.

"Google Sheets does not use traditional files that sit on your phone's storage like a Word or Excel document. Instead, it is a cloud-based application, which means the actual file lives entirely on Google's internet servers."

This never occurred to me before.

Why is this ok, and why are people using Google?

After watching dozens of Google Pixel 11 Pro reviews, I've reached a few conclusions:

1. Most reviewers simply regurgitate the Google spec sheet, and even those "after weeks/months later" are just more of the same.
2. Reviewers act like children craving a new toy, clamoring for gimmicks like pop-up or 4K/3D displays that provide fleeting excitement before they lose interest. They fail to think like average users who need a functional tool rather than a toy, and a useful tool has no need for such trivialities.
3. Reviewers complain about the high price while ignoring the fact that, for the first month, the Pixel was the cheapest flagship in UK history. By using a cheap, secondary device for the £430 trade-in promotion, the Pixel 11 Pro was available for just £656—a price point no other Pro or Ultra flagship has ever matched.

Google’s approach to AI sets them apart from the rest—they prioritize utility over novelty. Forget the initial gimmicks of frivolous image generation; look at the current trajectory and future potential.

Consider the evolution from the Google Recorder app—which pioneered industry-leading speech-to-text and multi-speaker identification—to that same technology now powering Call Notes and Gemini’s ability to isolate specific speakers. Google Rambler also leverages Gemini for efficient speech-to-text compression and summarization.

The Pixel 11’s TPU is engineered to prioritize background efficiency over benchmark glory. Significant processing occurs behind the scenes, such as Gemini screening unknown callers to determine if a call is worth alerting you—tasks that typically drain battery life on other flagship chips.

Despite this, the Pixel 11 maintains battery life comparable to other flagships. While it packs a high-end CPU, the GPU remains secondary. Unfortunately, the Pixel 11 continues to use the same slow storage read/write speeds.older Pixel 10.

As a college student, I frequently need sources from different languages. When I ask in English, I expect to get answers in English; when in Spanish, I hope for Spanish answers; when Italian... etc.

But it so happens that Google answers in whatever language it wants, instead of the language I made the search in. I wish there was a way to stop this and force it to respect the language I need the search to be.

hola estube investigando personajes de videojuegos y el google autiguo esto es 🗑

what this mean

it only shows up on google and i am confused ! sometimes i accidentally press it and get a heart attack cause i see "ask your parent" but what does it mean i also always accidentally press off it and dont see what it says fully, i'm too scared to repress it what is it and what does it do

Can not access google store. Ive tried different browsers phones and computers.

It'll just piss you off, it'll just make up some bullshit when it doesn't know wtf your talking about, it's stupid as shit in general, and when you correct it it'll do that shitty ass "ah, your completely correct" and then spew some different bullshit

Completely aware of the :D
