[1387.32 --> 1389.96] It's just I think they've ruined it. |
[1391.28 --> 1399.86] There's also in the background like the slow and continued effort to de-Google different services over different, you know, like different chunks. |
[1400.00 --> 1402.02] Like I still haven't gone back to Google Maps. |
[1402.18 --> 1404.98] Like that was a successful de-Googlefication. |
[1405.24 --> 1407.84] It was rough because I did it on the road trip. |
[1407.98 --> 1414.76] But I think because I did it on the road trip, I had to do it like in anger, under pressure, and it stuck. |
[1414.76 --> 1415.50] Like great. |
[1415.78 --> 1420.86] So I wonder too, like, does this play into that at all for you? |
[1421.54 --> 1422.20] A little bit. |
[1422.34 --> 1422.50] Yeah. |
[1422.54 --> 1436.48] I mean, when I saw the news this week that Apple have somehow made a U-turn on right to repair and made some parts available, previously only available to authorized service centers and stuff like that, |
[1436.48 --> 1443.76] I think to myself, okay, that's another pin down on the Apple domino board of stuff that I care about. |
[1443.76 --> 1448.24] So, you know, right to repair, I can get parts for my phone and my laptop shortly. |
[1448.52 --> 1448.66] Okay. |
[1448.66 --> 1462.80] Right now it's only a very small program, but I'm excited for what that means over the next five, ten years of how they're going to expand that program and hopefully start designing the devices with a bit more modularity in mind so that people can just pop out the logic board and pop out a batter... |
[1462.80 --> 1467.66] And that kind of basic stuff that after two or three years, the phone still functions fine. |
[1467.98 --> 1470.80] You think, oh, I wish I could just have a new battery. |
[1471.24 --> 1472.94] I don't want to buy a whole new phone. |
[1473.54 --> 1477.14] Well, that's hopefully going to be the reality moving forward. |
[1477.14 --> 1487.60] The other thing that Apple are doing pretty well, and I was really suspicious of this at first, but I think their privacy stance is actually really solid. |
[1487.96 --> 1499.96] You know, a lot of the stuff that they're doing with the ask to track stuff in iOS, you know, particularly I've seen articles talking about how much that's hurt Facebook and specifically their targeted advertising. |
[1500.96 --> 1502.56] Okay, you've got me. |
[1502.66 --> 1504.06] I am really impressed by that. |
[1504.16 --> 1505.32] Google could never do that. |
[1505.32 --> 1505.48] Right. |
[1506.38 --> 1507.28] Well, that's true. |
[1507.38 --> 1507.56] Yeah. |
[1507.94 --> 1509.00] You know, it's funny. |
[1509.18 --> 1520.38] It is good to see them make these right to repair moves, and I do like to see them make anti-track moves on the platform, even if they're, in some cases, just asking apps not to do it. |
[1520.82 --> 1527.58] But then I see them doing, like, the library scanning stuff, and I'm like, boy, you got to, with Apple, there's a lot of good with the bad you have to take. |
[1527.62 --> 1529.18] And that's the thing that I've been struggling with. |
[1529.18 --> 1534.52] So, for me, I have to ask myself, how important is customizing my device? |
[1534.52 --> 1540.24] Like changing out the launcher, maybe even just putting an entirely different OS on there or a different image. |
[1540.84 --> 1544.26] And for different devices, I have different answers to that question. |
[1544.26 --> 1554.06] If you were to ask me about the fire tablets that I have littered throughout my homes now, the studio, or at least the studio in the RV, I would say extremely. |
[1554.46 --> 1556.36] I want to always be able to reflash that. |
[1556.44 --> 1557.92] I always want to be able to replace the launcher. |
[1558.14 --> 1563.48] That is probably the two top features of those devices for me, right? |
[1563.48 --> 1567.04] Mostly because the fire launchers are just garbage. |
[1567.38 --> 1568.36] And so unstable. |
[1568.50 --> 1570.24] Very slow and unstable, yeah. |
[1570.48 --> 1570.82] Yeah. |
[1571.60 --> 1576.28] And it's like, okay, maybe a decade ago, but what are we doing today? |
[1576.34 --> 1576.98] What's going on here? |
[1577.50 --> 1578.98] It's just unacceptable. |
[1579.70 --> 1584.70] So, you know, but I've never wanted that from my phone. |
[1584.70 --> 1591.60] And I think maybe I'm just an old enough of a guy where I've never totally wanted that. |
[1591.86 --> 1598.04] I wanted that early on in the early days of Android when there was like things I was getting from it. |
[1598.10 --> 1604.10] Maybe improved battery life, improved performance, getting the OS on a device that didn't get that OS because the vendors bailed so quickly. |
[1604.24 --> 1605.88] Or maybe the camera app was better. |
[1606.16 --> 1607.52] The same reason that you're into Linux. |
[1607.94 --> 1608.14] Yeah. |
[1608.34 --> 1609.72] You like to tinker under the hood. |
[1609.84 --> 1610.10] I mean. |
[1610.66 --> 1611.06] Right. |
[1611.06 --> 1612.02] That's just you. |
[1612.56 --> 1612.80] Yeah. |
[1612.92 --> 1619.04] And I want my phone to always take a picture and I want it to always make a call. |
[1620.40 --> 1623.88] So I didn't really have that same requirement for that device. |
[1623.92 --> 1626.32] And I think those things shift for us too over time. |
[1626.44 --> 1631.34] You may really, for example, like the launchers, maybe replacing the launchers with something you did all the time. |
[1631.96 --> 1634.28] And then the vendor started to get it right after a while. |
[1634.42 --> 1636.94] So the need to replace it stopped becoming as necessary. |
[1637.24 --> 1641.04] It's funny you should say that because I've been running a OnePlus 7T for the last two years. |
[1641.78 --> 1641.98] Yeah. |
[1641.98 --> 1645.80] I think that's actually the last good device that OnePlus made. |
[1646.04 --> 1648.22] But I still replaced the launcher. |
[1648.46 --> 1649.56] So it's running Android 10. |
[1650.12 --> 1659.14] It did run Android 11, but I wiped and downgraded it because the update that OnePlus shipped for Android 11 was, it was just so buggy. |
[1659.24 --> 1660.90] Like it just kept dropping the frame rate. |
[1661.02 --> 1662.50] It's a 90 hertz display. |
[1663.12 --> 1666.66] And it kept dropping the frame rate to like 20 or 30 frames a second. |
[1666.98 --> 1668.54] And I noticed that kind of thing. |
[1668.76 --> 1673.64] So I had to go into the settings and toggle it to 60 hertz and then back to 90 and it was fine again. |
[1673.64 --> 1679.30] I also have the Google work profile installed on my phone. |
[1679.30 --> 1682.04] So it has like, I love the way Android does this, by the way. |
[1682.12 --> 1685.50] It has like two separate profiles, like modes on the phone. |
[1686.06 --> 1686.28] Yeah. |
[1686.66 --> 1687.30] That's nice. |
[1687.30 --> 1690.54] All my work apps are completely separate from my personal apps. |
[1690.64 --> 1693.04] So like I've got two Gmail apps installed on my phone. |
[1693.28 --> 1697.22] So it's very obvious for me when I'm context switching, two calendar apps, you know. |
[1697.22 --> 1704.94] You could achieve that in iOS as far as customizing alerts and icons. |
[1705.20 --> 1707.16] Like you could have a focus mode that is work. |
[1707.34 --> 1713.28] And so you'd have work launchers and you'd have work alerts, but you would not be able to have two versions of Gmail. |
[1713.48 --> 1715.76] You'd have to have essentially two mail apps. |
[1715.84 --> 1717.80] One's a personal mail app and one's your work mail app. |
[1718.04 --> 1721.94] I'll tell you what's also awesome is there's an app I've got called Quiet for Gmail. |
[1721.94 --> 1726.94] And I have it set on a timer and it turns my email on and off at 8am. |
[1727.08 --> 1728.42] It turns it on at 6pm. |
[1728.54 --> 1729.16] It turns it off. |
[1729.44 --> 1739.96] And then for the rest of the time, I can just go into the app and swipe to refresh and it will, you know, load my emails if I really want to at, you know, midnight check, you know, a Sunday night before work or whatever. |
[1740.70 --> 1748.70] But, you know, on the whole, it's a very easy way to separate concerns between the two contexts of my life. |
[1748.70 --> 1762.28] And there was some really awful bugs in the way the underscreen fingerprint reader on the 7T and Android 11 just kept not working very well. |
[1762.70 --> 1766.04] And, you know, I use it dozens of times a day and it was very frustrating. |
[1766.04 --> 1772.98] So I've gone back to Android 10 on the 7T and forever there it shall stay until I find a replacement, you know. |
[1773.16 --> 1773.72] What could go wrong? |
[1774.08 --> 1774.66] That'll be fine. |
[1774.96 --> 1776.94] But that brings me back to the Pixel 6, I think. |
[1776.94 --> 1780.66] And the in-screen fingerprint reader. |
