Every time I see a post about it, I’m hoping the pre-orders opened. Fucking take my money already!!

They didn’t really replace it though. Pretty much every modern car sold today has Bluetooth. You don’t have to use android auto.

Largest ev markets are CA and NY and there number of people living in SFHs is closer to 55%.

I have a phev that I regret since I had to get a minivan and now drive it exclusively on long trips so phev is basically full electric in the city now, but I have to burn gas anyway since otherwise ice components get messed up from disuse.

My (somewhat niche) reason is I need a wheelchair accessible car and I can’t find any company that modifies the only electric minivan I’m aware of to install a ramp.

I think it’s more the price than anything else. Tesla is nowhere near a premium car, let alone a luxury one, but sells for luxury car prices. Of course other manufacturers wanted to jump on this train with spectacular profit margins.

For most A to B drivers a new EV is completely out of their price range. Not to mention a bunch of them live in apartments so they would effectively still have to go to a “gas” station to fill up, except now it takes 3 times as long.

I completely agree, but despite OP or Samsung looking better on paper, overall experience is just so much smoother. Shit just works. And at some point I began to value that over specs.

Just for some perspective, I’m basing what I’m saying on OP 3T, 5T and 8Pro, Samsung S21 and Pixel 8 pro and currently 9 pro fold.

Nah, I’m not doing back to OP. I hate to say it, but If you’re going to use android, nothing beats pixels. Not even close.

If GrapheneOS manages to actually work with a decent hardware maker to get a phone to the market, I’ll get that next, but only if Android auto and banking apps work. Phone’s useless to me without those.

Only reason I’d give those up is if I can get another Linux phone as polished as Nokia N9. Still the best phone I’ve ever owned.

Not a popular opinion, but if those two options are unavailable, I’d rather switch to iPhone than use a non pixel android.

Oneplus had great success but then enshittified. Raised prices to match Samsung and Google, outsourced support to some place that didn’t sound like they were even in the same dimension as any English speakers and took away their ability to help customers even by accident and finally quality of their phones went to shit.

They could’ve sucked the Chinese government subsidy tit for another few years and would’ve established themselves as legit competition, but that would only delay inevitable enshittification by a few years.

You can barely distinguish faces in 480p. It is useless. Technology progressed and there’s no reason to continue generating ewaste. These sensors are actual trash. Aldi isn’t selling old stock so this literal trash is purposefully manufactured only for people to discover it’s not actually useful and immediately return it.

Not weird. It’s ewaste. 480p in 2025 is trash. Eufy has 2k option for ~$60 on frequent sale with no subscription. So does Reolink.

Doesn’t work for every use case, but perfect for mine. I was just pointing out other options.

Valid points. I use it for my media collection I can easily restore and won’t miss. Cache would be sort of nice to have and redundancy would just be wasting space.

Mergerfs can do that too and you can keep the underlying fs as whatever you want.

Ah, makes sense. I don’t mind sharing history and have never used bookmarks or customized any settings.

This is what I do now, just trying to figure out why ff keeps spending time on profiles. Do they have any advantages over containers?

I think containers (that Firefox already has) are a much better way to handle this. Profiles, art least the way they are implemented on chrome, feels like a massive downgrade.

Eye exam later would make you feel even worse lol

Is this for people that are able to transfer themselves? Because Uber WAV works just fine. Used it several times without any issues other than extended wait times due to small number of appropriate cars.

Also, I’m willing to bet real money this issue is caused by assholes claiming their chihuahuas are service animals and not by Uber drivers rejecting to drive blind people or people in wheelchairs.

Curve is not available in US and has terrible reviews on Play store.

I’d switch in a heartbeat, but I can’t live without a smart watch and having to pay with physical cc again would be a massive downgrade.

I have a suspicion that all the android clones will become a much worse/unusable experience once Google implements these changes.

Do any alternatives allow using banking apps or android pay or android auto?

I realize there are no substitutes for banking apps, but are there any alternatives for android auto or pay if those cannot be installed? Preferably Linux alternatives.

What issues? I’m pretty much 100% ipv6 on all ubiquity equipment.
