Adding to what I said…

Back in 2012, I had the very first Google Nexus Tablet called the Nexus 7. It became extremely slow after a few months that it was unusable. Turned out it was a widespread issue. It was a design flaw that could not be fixed via software update:

Two decades later, Google still release defective hardware without proper testing during the design phase.

Good thing - Google is willing to support devices with defects/design flaws

Bad thing - Google keeps releasing devices with defects/design flaws

“trust me”

I hope it is optional. Otherwise it makes sideloading more cumbersome for power users.

Google has a history of extending repairs for Pixel phones. I don’t know it is a good thing or bad.

Pixel 4 XL power and charging issues: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-extends-pixel-4-xl-warranty-by-1-year-for-power-and-charging-issues/

I think Microsoft Recall is the breaking point.

What’s next? Gemini going to buy apps for me without extra taps?

How about include the word “paywalled” in the post title? Then users can decide whether to click the link or not.
