How did this post get nearly 200 upvotes but fewer comments, then an average post with 75-100 upvotes I mean I get this this news is shocking because it’s Samsung not apple, so it is a new leak regarding Gogole, but sheesh a lot of things this week was just about as ‘shocking’
The numbers are impressive, so i’m not necesarilly complaining, but those numbers caught my eye. congratulations op
One thing to note, Lg has their own app store, they would bundle it on smartphones along with the playstore. I remember having a phone from them that did the bundling. Now I use Blu phones.
At this point I don’t think I should have degoogled my life, I should have just gotten Google to pay me to continue to use their products. Given the what they’re paying everyone else, I must be worth at least a few hundred dollars a year.
In terms of my data on the market, yes. But in terms of Samsung’s user numbers divided by 8 billion I’m worth about $6. Based on what they paid Apple, each of their users is worth about $15. I just need to get my invoice on the right desk.
Nah just invoice for printer ink, and there is a good chance someone pays it.
You are, but you’re not getting it.
Probs get down votes, but look up data latte, you can put your data on the blockchain (anonymized) and get paid if somebody buys it, eg for market research.
Which essentially is what Google does. Sells your data to the market
The pure data isn’t sitting on the blockchain itself, but in a ipfs or something similar. But the contracts and tokens allow you to automate it and own it/give out access to it to a certain extent.
Its a small project, but I like the idea, could be something.
That does explain why they dropped Bixby.
Bixby was actually pretty useful before they abandoned it. I remember using Bixby Routines to configure my phone to set itself to vibrate when I was at work and within work hours. I can’t seem to do anything but an or condition with Google’s replacement, “Modes and Routines.”
Modes & Routines is literally Bixby Routines renamed to remove the Bixby branding (and to avoid confusion with people thinking it’s part of the voice assistant). Absolutely nothing was removed from this change other than the Bixby name and it’s still the same good and old Samsung developed app, Google has nothing to do with it.
Judging by the fact that you can set multiple if conditions (and it explicitly says “when all conditions below are met”) straight from the main view of the routine, it means you haven’t even tried creating a routine at all.
