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.

Correct, he was a soviet installed puppet.

You keep saying Korea, but you keep talking about a different country. Yes, in response to an attack on Korea, US did firebomb the aggressor.

I hope the US would react the same way today, but unfortunately current senile and treasonous cunt would almost certainly act the way daddy puto tells him to.

Either way, ancient soviet nukes would play zero role in the decision making process. I seriously doubt even a slightly more advanced shithole like russia has the capacity to launch even 1% after decades of corruption and neglect of soviet assets. Fucking North Korea would certainly be erased off the face of the planet by any modern army without a single rocket being allowed to take off from their territory.

No it isn’t. I explained exactly why. Country is tiny, they don’t have anything unique or especially valuable as far as natural resources and population is hungry and brainwashed. Those are the real reasons nobody bothers with them.

Let’s see, 1945 - 1871 = what the fuck are you talking about?

I want to welcome you to the internet. Place is wild.

I take it your agree it was a shit example since you didn’t provide any arguments to the opposite?

You’re talking about Korean War? America defended Korea from Soviet attack. You’ve got some alternative history you’re operating with?

How the fuck is it a good example? People are starving, their only real export is meth and the only countries pretending to deal with them are China and fucking russia. You seriously think that anyone considering taking over their territory would be worried that ancient soviet garbage will fly? Only reason Korea doesn’t take over is they know their country can’t survive infusion of starving, brainwashed masses that would take years to integrate into any modern society.

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.

Sure, except if you choose to live in the middle of nowhere it’s hardly fair for everyone else (government) to pay for your decision. It’s not like they owe you other utilities. A house you build off grid will stay that way unless someone pays to change that. Just like you can get well water and solar electricity, you can also get satellite internet. I suspect you’re still comparing one of the Nordic countries or GB to US without realizing just how vastly different population density is here.

Maybe fiber runs through that location? Digging is expensive no matter where you live. Adding a km of underground fiber seems very unlikely to hook up one person, but I’ll take your word for it.

I see this take a lot and I think by now most people should realize that this isn’t really an issue of which president is in power. US has enough territory to basically fit some countries people compare it to into a single abandoned farm. Also individual states not only have economies that are bigger than most countries, but are also so wildly different from each other that pretty much the only thing they share is the USD. US does have trolleybuses, electric delivery cars and a fuckload of solar installations and charging stations in places where it makes sense. At the same time, running fiber in a place with population density of <1/km^2 or in a city where digging up the street costs millions in disruptions every hour is prohibitive.

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.

This chart doesn’t imply there’s anything wrong with your position. Low confidence and low competence = choosing OS that implements a ton of guardrails to prevent users it’s designed for from fucking up too hard. Nothing wrong with that even if you choose to do that forever.

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.
