Google fucked around too long for me to consider using any of their new services and I’m working on dropping the old. Got bit in the ass with Allo, Hangouts, GPM, Inbox, and latestly Domains, which I thought was safe.
I thought it was the LGBTQIA+ that were the groomers? /S

Personally a big fan of the pixel series. Running a P7P unlocked right now. Google doesn’t attempt to hamper the bootloader unlocking process in the least. I pre-ordered this phone and had it rooted on day one. I run stock (other than root) but I’ve played around with some others, like graphene and lineage.
One downside is that TWRP doesn’t support tensor yet, so P6 & P7 aren’t supported, but flashing is still easy without it.
Pixels seem to have a very long community support, I gave my sister an old P2XL with pixel experience on it so she had the latest security patches and she seems to really like it.
I’ve seen complaints about the P7 series overheating. I’ve had mine shutdown twice because of thermals, but this was in the sun while I was running nav on Android Auto. Moving it to the shade and letting it reboot seemed to fix that.
All of the pixels released so far don’t have DP Alt mode which is a real bummer, but I’ve seen rumors that the P8 (October 23?) Will include it, so I remain hopeful.
The Verge reached out to Amazon, Sky, and On Running with requests for more information but didn’t immediately hear back. Twitter responded to The Verge’s email with a poop emoji
Hell of a way to run a company lmao
Gamers: We’ve removed you DRM and gotten better performance, your DRM is obviously causing a hit
Denuvo: Nuh uh
Like seriously we’re not gonna find out? The fact that the DRM has been bypassed means it’s useless anyway. All it does it hurt paying customers
Doesn’t hurt to stick with PixelExperience, put it on an old 2XL and gave it to my sister and she uses it as her main device. Basically stock pixel (hence the name) but community updated with security patches & new releases
