You're not you when you're hungry, eat a Snickers

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

I don't like that for every generation of android they HAVE to reinvent the wheel and redesign the UI..

The search bar at the bottom is a joke.. If  I bought a pixel I will probably use a Launcher or something.. 

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.

For every amazing feature that the Pixel has, there are 3 issues. It baffles me how the hell did they make so many mistakes with the 3. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Geeze. If this had been an apple product the title would have been "Apple iPhone, BUGGY, TERRIBLE, COMPLETELY UNUSABLE mess."

 

I know pandering to your audience is a thing but geeze....... Play favorites much?

I think iOS nailed it with system wide Spotlight search pull down. 

There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

You're not allowed to say nice things about apple products here. 

 

Just in case you forgot about the shit show that was the "LTT is an Apple shill" after releasing a "nice" video about the iphone. (Which likely led to the 3 "Apple sucks" videos in the last month or so.)

It still, SOMEHOW, doesn't convert "my" to "your" when it creates tasks...

Google should probably make this a toggle, since there will never be consensus on what's best.  Case in point: There's a Skyrim mod to make the game's quest journal and popup messages behave just as Google Assistant does here.  And it has 48 thousand unique downloads!

You're.... kidding.... right? Android and timely updates are not a thing.

For what it's worth, any Android One phone has three years of security updates.

Monthly security updates to be supported for at least 3 years after initial phone release.

I have just sold Note9 and buy iPhone XS: Note9 was better than the Pixel 3 XL you demonstrated. However, the reminding data of Assistant, ToDo app and Keep app were scattered in 3 places even all belong to Google when Reminder app on iOS has reminding data stayed in one place loadable by Siri. The reminding data on Google assistant supports recurring reminders, the data on ToDo app only support by one off whole day reminder and the data on Keep also reminds once for a whole list of items. On iOS, you just fire up Siri and ask her to remind you to do something at a specific time in specific regular basis. Note9 was the most productive Android phone at the moment because of quick on screen note taking and drawing. That's it. The Google Duo presentation did fool me to switch from iOS back Android after 5+ years with Apple, but Google assistant still has very few language range and not much stronger context conversation compared to Siri.

 

Waiting for the delivery of my iPhone XS.

You are never forced to buy anything, you have a choice, its your choice what you do. I think too many people have fallen into zone where they just gotta have the newest gadget.

I would like to agree with you — especially since I like old-timey smartphone design better anyway.  (Give me a replaceable battery and durable plastic over glue and glass any day of the week.) 

But it's not prudent to have an Internet-connected device without up-to-date security patches.  ESPECIALLY when it has your login credentials and two-factor authentication apps on it.

So buy a expensive phone with many software issues that you would expect from a phone around the price I paid for a phone. get a good CPU camera and amount of space, plus a fidget spinner built into it by default? Sounds like a Apple product to me...
