D... moreAm not no cave man
old style flip phones hell no i rather not have a phone at all then have that crap
what i can't stand is
this kinda thing happening all the time with software updates
putting u on a android version that may or may not have probloms and being stuck with it and app compatibly is sometimes broken by updates so some people will need too roll back updates
and can u custom room a pixel phone is it really that easy ?
Am so sick and tired of it
what crap is going on with tech all of the time its getting worse ever year
technology and artificial ways it become obsolete or made slower
like ending support for long android or windows versions and making them not work anymore filling the web with ads pop ups and blocking web sites making everyone need a vpn and ad blocker just too surf the web smoothly without being slowed down
or games being made by game developer who make the games so much more demanding then they should be making old phones again obsolete
even android its self is as heavy as ever now so old phones tht get updated can't handle the new android versions
Another thing i really can't stand is if you pay extra money for a phone you get everything taken away from you for paying more
The phones that cost more have less ports and worse design then budget smartphones
for paying more they take away everthing
you get
no sd card slot
no headphone jack
no removable battery
even take away the changer from the box so you have too use third party changer that was not made for your phone and will hurt the battery life in the long run
Get reasons too hate overpriced tech

Anonymous, 17 Aug 2022Phones can game. But they aren't gaming consoles.Funny story Snapdragon 865 ALLOWS to play 60 FPS Genshin Impact. And makes me wonder... where Qualcomm did screw up?
The only true succesor is the Mediatek Dimensity 8100... except in the Poco X4 GT and that is thanks to Xiaomi who screws it constantly.

You might find more filfillment in life by not dealing with things that you hate, such as technology. There are plenty of old style flip phones that just dial a number.
Don't use iOS, which cannot downgrade even with a jailbreak.

How is this even legal
How are big tech companies allowed too get away with this
Now google is taking away people's factory restore
This is disgusting can't go back too older versions of android how dare google do this
People definitely shouldn't buy google pixel phones
How awful now people get too live in fear of android updates and android 13 in general
Never thought google would go as low as Microsoft with window 10 forced update and then factory restore recovery and restore partition removed forever
I hate technology

Try playing Genshin Impact on any device without dropping below 30fps 10-15 minutes after starting on medium or high details. Not to mention their high-end SoCs are anything but power efficient so enjoy that 2-to-2.5 hour battery life at best in the game.

S22 FE 5G should be released with Snapdragon 8+ gen 1 by the end of the year at 550USD. Just swap snapdragon 888 from S21 FE and give us refresh. People will happily buy it over everything else any day.

Pixel peaked with the 2 XL or 3. I still don't like any face ID that came from the 4. Nexus peaked with the 4 in design and overall with the 5. Android peaked anywhere between KitKat to 11. Depends on taste. Then a decline from the ugly Android 12 catered to female Zoomers featured in Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022).
It will only get worse from here. Time to get off the Internet more and be more in the PRESENT than creating memories from a phone screen caring about that one YouTuber how he or she reacted to that trailer. Or caring about Skip Bayless' opinions that keeps him relevant whether you agree with him or not.
Internet is just a desert full of mirages. Google are hacks with software. Trying so hard copying Apple only to realize they can't even get their hardware right either. I hate Google when I loved them for years. They're big on censorship like most liberal tech companies. This isn't the Google we used to know.
