Yes. I went to my first Google I/O 10 years ago and my second today.

2014: Introduced Android L, Android Wear, Android TV and Android Auto.

2024: Gemini Nano... still not publicly available to app developers. 💀

I don't really get why the M8 is remembered so fondly but the M7 isn't.

Is it just that way more people bought the M8? The M7 was truly innovative and the M8 was only a small iteration on top.

Good. Android 6 came out in 2015 and 98.4% of devices in use now are at or above that level.. The only reason developers would have to target an API level that low in 2024 is to exploit something.

Since you have a Pixel maybe try changing the call screening settings?

Nope, Moto is 8th.

According to IDC, the top three smartphone brands last year were Apple (20.1%), Samsung (19.4%), and Xiaomi (12.5%). 

Moto only has 4% market share currently...

feature where the screen turns on when the camera detects motion.

Using a camera as a motion sensor doesn't count as not using a motion sensor IMO.

Why is it a deal breaker? Synthetic benchmarks don't mean anything. The real world experience of using a Pixel is faster/smoother.

The only thing we've learned today is that Apple's lawyers are far better than Google's...

Sounds like a really hacky, probably insecure, solution that Apple will likely "accidentally" break with an innocuous software update.

Not that I am aware of. However, one thing I learned is that moving to a split keyboard fixes bad typing behavior like tapping T or Y with the wrong hand very quickly.

Irresponsible reporting. The app couldn't be installed because the min API version of the app didn't meet the requirements for Android 14.

Google didn't "block" anything, this is fear mongering.

Could be worse. 25 cents in 1938 is still only worth $5.44 today.
