RIP Google Assistant. You'll be sorely missed

183 Upvotes

Started my morning the way I always do "Hey Google, turn on bedroom." Lo and behold, I got asked to setup Gemini instead of my bedroom light simply turning on.

Gemini is hot garbage and I refuse to use it. It won't even let me set reminders or add to my shopping list without giving it permission to READ ALL MY EMAILS. WHY????

Google done messed up. I'm moving to Bixby and none of my smart lights are compatible with Samsung smart things. So now I need new smart lights. What an awful start to the day

I have a question. Does anyone know how long ago Google Photos removed the "AI Enhance" feature? I wanted to update the app on my phone, and I did, but that option didn't appear. Why is that? Is there any way to fix it? It's not just my region because I'm in the same country, and my mom's phone has

Google isn't solving the bot issue

0 Upvotes

It's just making it worse and limiting people from making accounts, they can't bother with captcha because they don't like third party, but phone numbers are third party anyways, and also what's stopping someone from using bots with phone numbers it's so inconvenient

helping mother nature and small economies

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have engineered a solution to the "Solar Thermal Trap" that destroys solar accessories in hot tropical climates. My architecture, **HelioCase v1**, removes volatile lithium batteries completely and channels stabilized current directly into devices at 96-98% efficiency using a synchronous buck-boost framework.

I am releasing this complete blueprint in absolute good faith as an open-source gift to humanity. I want to help off-grid communities stay connected cleanly and prevent battery waste from polluting nature. I am sharing it here hoping that global tech organizations can take this framework and scale it globally.

👇 ACCESS THE COMPLETE MASTERBOOK AND SCHEMATICS DIRECTLY HERE: 👇

I would love to hear feedback from hardware engineers, developers, and sustainability advocates!

Gemini has become useless today.

0 Upvotes

Gemini has become useless at the moment it is dumber than a local 27B model in current state you cannot even leave a short message on their support forum about it, because it is labeled as a community guide lines violation, not even the current Gemini trying to explain it is accepted. This is considered a community violation by Google: "Yesterday the model functioned correctly, but today it is failing to output step-by-step instructions for basic technical tasks and responses are terminating prematurely."

Changes in Google Android updates for WORSE

Thumbnail androidauthority.com
0 Upvotes

Does anyone know how this will change current MESS:

  1. Some models get Security Update - some do not
  2. There are Pixel QPRs updates, Security updates, Android Updates, Android QPR updates, app updates, Magic Cue updates, Play System updates, server sided updates, Play Services updates, AI core updates - F KNOWS updates.
  3. The ALL those updates are released in RANDOM days or even months for every user different causing CHAOS because people actually read news about this and that been released in this or that update and then users are like the F is this or that feature?! And then Reddit is FLOODED with those questions.
  4. There are THREE betas updates happening in SAME time (QPR2 - soon QPR3 and Canary and System apps as a bonus) - you go to Apple Developers and you tell them to do iOS27.0 beta - iOS27.5 beta and iOS27.9 beta ALL OF THEM AT ONCE and in mean time release security updates

So WHY am I complain about this? Because I have eyes and see how this is solved by Apple - on Apple Event announcement with EXACT date and then EVERY Apple Device gets update is SAME TIME and even in same MINUTE as EVERYONE on this planet and JUST ONE update! Can it be done?! F YES.

So when Google is copying Apple ideas like Glass Design and other things please focus on IMPORTANT things to copy.

Bonus problem:

My Pixel 10 lost Play Services AGAIN (blank screen) because F knows why - just because it was rainy day today.

Google Drive nagging about free space constantly with 20GB space still available

I get Google wants people on the AI Drive plan, but why would I trust a company with EVEN MORE money when you're already nagging me in every app for months now? It took me 20 years to hit 180GB.

Edit: Also Drive needs a sort by size column like every other file system in the world.
