Title says it all.

Its an election year and Covid 19 is keeping many high risk individuals from helping to run polling sites. I'm volunteering to work at poll sites since I am "low risk." Its going to be crucial for people to step up and make sure this election goes as smoothly as possible. Regardless of your political views.

Sounds like fear mongering liars.

This is so wrong its bordering on ignorant. I have to suspect you are a paid Russian troll. First, Google doesn't sell personal information, they sell directed advertising. Massive difference. Second, Google is an information procurer, a breach of trust of any kind would send customers fleeing to Bing and other competitors. Search is Google's bread and butter. Android is irrelevant with the exception of it being another vehicle to push search. Quit posting idiotic crap that you know nothing about.

Ah, I see. My bad.

You could pick up a Google Home mini for almost $5 after Google Play credits on Black Friday. Even today they only cost $29 bucks. Where the hell were you shopping?

bullshit, Apple is only on the side of the consumer when publicity is involved. They were practically silent during net neutrality conversations. They CONSTANTLY unlock phones for authorities - the one time they didn't it was because of the media picking the story up. You are willfully deaf and blind if you think Apple cares anymore about the consumer then anyone else.

I have an original Motorola Droid 1 that still works flawlessly. Still on its original battery. I have had 7 different Android phones and never had a battery issue with any of them. Moral of the story? Testimonials are bullshit.

Did you even read the summary? It is coming OUT of beta and is a PUBLIC release. Presumably, if you update and have a fusion drive it won't work. So, if you were unaware, that would be a rude surprise, correct? This is important news that needs to be released, otherwise - DESPITE the PUBLIC RELEASE - your hardware might not work. Turn your fanboy down a couple notches.

Shouldn't you be off boring someone with your insightful theories about how the moon landing was faked?

I have a Google Home. There is not any one particular thing that makes it valuable, it's the whole experience. Think of it like a universal remote for your life. Lights, thermostat, decent music speaker, security system - it makes a lot of things a little bit better. And to me, that is totally worth the money. My favorite feature is the streaming music player. Sure, there are million different setups you could use to get the same effect but Home gets the job done. It's powerful enough to fill the whole floor of my house with sound, has good sound quality, and it takes up very little space. It also doesn't look like that butt ugly thing Apple just announced. If this thing costed $300 I would say pass, but for a hundred bucks? It is totally worth it.

The only people on Oreo right now are Pixel users. Pixel users have unfettered updates (even Verizon is rolling updates out quickly). So, yeah, once a patch is out users will get it fairly quickly. Incidentally, I have a Pixel XL with Oreo and have not had the problem. It seems to be intermittent at worst.

I have the EXACT same story. Goddamn it Sue!!!

Is it just me or is the red hydrogen logo freaking ugly? I think the phone looks cool with all the grippy bits but for a 1500 phone that logo is just too ugly.

Not a fan of ribbons myself but the LibreOffice ribbon is completely optional and can be turned off. Soooo, no real issue there. Also, RTFA. ;)
