What gets me about this change is that it hurts enterprise more than anybody. I don’t use chrome anymore for anything in my personal life, and haven’t in several years now. However, it’s the only browser I can use for work. 🤷🏻♂️

So September 2025ish is when I need to decide which Linux distro to go with.
For what it’s worth I’ve had Google Fi for eight years. My bill has never increased, and we have unlimited data. I’m on a plan with my wife and her dad and we pay 167 per month for all three lines including insurance on two phones (12/month total). We are in an area with 5G coverage, it speed tests between 100-300 Mbps generally.
Sure they could kill it at any time but 🤷🏻♂️
Now pretend your electric blower is actually a super loud and inefficient two stroke motor.
The movement of air isn’t noisy, the motor is.
Idk what newsgroups are
Meanwhile pirating content and streaming it has never been easier. Jellyfin and private trackers ftw
I don’t think it would matter what it was, I’m not doing an entire OS reinstall to “upgrade” to an inferior experience. If it can’t apply the update itself, it’s not going on until it absolutely has to, and even then it’s looking more likely to be Linux next boot install.
Mine can run it but requires reinstalling my entire OS because something in the bios wasn’t enabled before it was installed. I mean…okay that’s certainly a design choice but I’m 100% not doing that
It blows my mind how slow mine is now. I don’t even use the UI really, I only switch between ps5 and my shield tv, but that switch takes SO LONG
Idk I’ve never used it for anything other than tap to pay, and that was also true for gpay. I personally would recommend you use something that doesn’t farm your data for transferring money anyway. Zelle is what most people prefer these days, usually goes straight through your bank, no separate app, not invasive, more secure.
Venmo and cash app are trash (especially Venmo) but they are alternatives that work for sending money and have been around way longer than GPay. I still use Venmo for a few things for my parents and father in law.
GPay had tons of bloat to it which I didn’t like. I don’t want Google tracking my spending and tailoring “offers” for me, and I definitely don’t want them sending me notifications about it. I’m not delusional, I know they’re still tracking it and still sending it to advertisers but at least wallet isn’t shoving my face in it.
That’s all well and good and fair, but this isn’t new news is more my point. Google told everyone, every device, that they were switching to wallet and phasing out GPay over a year ago, in fact I’m almost positive it was when Android 13 released (we are on 14 now). Like the annoyance should’ve passed by now, you know?
Yes, and it works better. They said over a year ago that wallet would replace GPay, and remind you that it will stop working basically anytime you open it. I’m all for shitting on Google but being upset over this is dumb.
Wasn’t aware of this, thanks!
Is it hard being as stupid as you are? Like, I mean, does it hurt? Cause it hurts the rest of us, let me tell ya.
What site? DM if you’d rather not comment. I ain’t no snitch

Almost every new iPhone. The product line is the iPhone. The product in the like is the specific phone. Saying apple abandoned the iPhone is like saying chevy abandoned the Silverado, the longest running truck model in America, by releasing a new one every year. It’s literally the exact opposite of the point you’re trying (very very very badly) to argue.
Same with Macbooks too. The first few iterations were kinda ass but around 2005-2007 they exploded in popularity. By the time I got to grad school nearly 50% of laptops in any given class were those white or black Macbooks.
I’m not sure if using the longest running and best smelling smart phone line in existence as an example of a product apple gave up on top quickly is a good strategy there champ.
There is absolutely nothing difficult to use in Firefox. If anything it’s easier, as most of the settings aren’t arbitrarily hidden to prevent you from changing them. There are also fewer bullshit settings because they aren’t harvesting your data.
