Great. I'm still disgruntled by them restricting device-trees, AOSP development and app installation in the future.

Not cowards, just greedy

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Release QPR1 source code first though it's been 2 months 😭

(Or at the same time, that would be good too)

or device trees or headphone jacks or removable batteries or micro sd cards or sideloading or

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Or source code at this point, AOSP is still missing the 16 QPR1 release that came out for pixels at the beginning of September

That's not specific to the Pixel 10 though.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

all of those things are absent from the Pixel 10.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

What I'm saying is those things are absent from the previous models too, but battery share was available in previous models. The 10 is the model where it was suddenly removed.

Stop buying that shit!

You know what I just discovered? My phone has a laser right next to the camera and it is on all the time.

If you have an automatic shade welding helmet, all you gotta do is put it on and look at your phone. The shader will be blinking like at 60Hz going completely berserk and without doing a thing.

Your phone is basically a laser mapping system just measuring your house and sending Google the data.
