Google is winding down the Pixel Studio app in c/android
[–] biscuit 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As a Pixel 7 user who typically uses their phone until it dies, was this any good? When it launched a couple years ago it was one of those "damn, maybe I should just upgrade my phone now" features. Was it any good at creating funny memes ?

Yeah you wouldn't rename bestiality pornography even though the animals in that can't consent.

Rayman 30th anniversary has save data bug and Ubisoft support says post launch support has ended in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] biscuit 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you think the savings they make by letting staff go outweigh the occasional PR hit they get from AI hallucinations like this?

I wonder if, as more companies do it, these sort of things just happen more and more and become standard operating procedure.

Yeah but if you were a YouTube Premium subscriber surely you'd disable the adblocker on youtube.com so you never get this issue.

Given it's a suite of tools designed specifically to download copyrighted content, why are you surprised that descriptions are coy and elusive?

Google's February Android update confirms a big shift for older Pixels (www.androidcentral.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago by biscuit to c/googlepixel

Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 devices seem to be now following a quarterly update schedule instead of monthly patches.

What you need to know

  • Google's February 2026 Pixel update is small, likely holding back major changes for the upcoming Android 16 QPR3 release.

  • The update skips Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series phones, hinting at a shift away from monthly updates for older devices.

  • Google says affected Pixel phones will remain security compliant, but offers little clarity on future update frequency.

Honestly glad this isn't being forgotten about. When Reeves announced this I was certain they would only go for the small fry.

Most of them won't have enough critical thinking skills to realise what happened. They'll just blame whoever Fox or Tiktok tells them to blame.

Google not required to sell Chrome or Android, judge rules in antitrust case - live updates (www.bbc.co.uk)

Summary

  • A US judge has ruled that Google doesn't need to sell off its Android operating system or its Chrome browser in a monopoly case

  • However, the tech giant has been ordered to share data with competitors to help open up competition in online search

  • The judgment follows a finding that Google acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in online search

  • Google was sued by the US Department of Justice in 2020 over its control of about 90% of the online search market

  • Prosecutors accused Google of spending billions of dollars annually to Apple, Samsung, Mozilla and others to be pre-installed as the default search engine

  • The US said Google typically pays more than $10bn (£7.8bn) a year for that privilege

Looks like the designs of the Pixel 10 series has leaked. Pretty much identical to the Pixel 9 series, unsurprisingly.

The new Debian VM on Android 15 - what use-cases are there? (self.android)
submitted 11 months ago by biscuit to c/android

The latest version of Android 15 on the Pixel devices lets you enable an experimental Terminal app and Debian VM. What are the fun use-cases of this, that you can think of? Let's assume the finalised version of this feature will include the ability for sound drivers and proper port mapping/forwarding.

  • Running web servers off your phone might become feasible
  • Basic light development work
  • Use to easily SSH to other clients if needed
  • Already proven it can run DOOM

There's bound to be many more use-cases as this feature expands, and especially when Android replaces ChromeOS in the future.

I'm not in the beta, and this is what my WhatsApp looks like now. This might be old news, but until today I had the green UI.

(Sorry for the crappy censor job. I wish Android had a blur feature built-in)
