I was teetering toward the Super Nintendo also with Earthbound, MK2/MK3 Ultimate, and Super Mario World. The roaming around in Super Mario 64 and flying non-stop with the birdman suit in Pilotwings 64 won me over with the N64 in the end though.
Exactly. It’s in no way a bad thing for anyone. We’ll see the way that it’s implemented. It’s the first step. r/Android is rearing its head here. Let’s enjoy this for the moment
Glad that you emphasized Europe. Here in the states where iMessage is dominant, it’ll make a difference.
At the end of the day it’s not a bad thing. I’m also waiting for details with compatibility to be ironed out, but it’s a start.
Just surprised at the whole negative energy with this announcement considering this was a “when pigs fly” or “when hell freezes over” sorta thing. Again, it’s a start and hopefully Google opens it up (even if forcibly by the EU) down the road.
Samsung Messages is the only other, right?
Same. I don’t even mind Tensor 2 in it. It runs fine enough and I never had any overheating. It’s a beautiful piece of hardware.
My main gripe is with how heavy it is. It’s tiring having to hold it for extended periods when I mostly use the outer screen (which is the perfect screen size, but that’s a whole other thing). And yeah… watching media on the inner screen with a crease and with the size of the media the same as a normal smartphone… it’s just something I looked over before purchasing.
I regret buying it also. But… I would have also regretted buying the Galaxy Fold, OnePlus Open, or any other foldable. Right now, my Pixel Fold just sits in a drawer as an overly expensive backup device while I use a Pixel 8 Pro as my daily. Will likely use the Fold as a trade-in for the Galaxy Ultra in January/February.
Chalk me up as one of the folks that was adamant this was due to an API mismatch.
Yikes. Low benchmarks in the case of everyday Pixel usage isn’t a big deal, but prohibiting the installation without reason will make this a bigger deal than it needs to be. And I can’t fault users for feeling that way.
At least you acknowledged it. The title of this post should have a misleading tag at best. There’s no wonder that no other major outlets have reported on this.
Same. I’ve paired it wirelessly to one car and wired to the other car. Both have worked seamlessly since getting the phone last week.
No problems here.
I’m guessing here, but are any of those products on that website both purchasable AND given a guaranteed product support time? Or to make it more specific, has Google ever killed off a phone (Nexus and Pixel years, so 15 years total) prior to its end of support date?
I don’t believe they have. Stadia, a non-phone product, is the closest thing. Of course it’s not a phone and Google also didn’t give a eol date before its release. When it was killed they refunded any purchased games. So I guess the better question is would you be fine with getting a refund in the amount of your purchase of a Pixel 8/Pro if they didn’t hold up their end of the bargain?
I know some of the comments in the community are tongue-in-cheek, but if Google were to keep the prior support date or do what they did today by increasing them, folks still wouldn’t be happy.

Boatloads of cash at a young age, family and friends wanting and pestering, the physical toll the game takes on your body for years, the stress of being a taking point of the sport worldwide, and having to be on your A-game mentally, physically, and emotionally 24/7 for your entire career. Yeah… no thanks. Hell, I didn’t grow up until I was 27. I get stressed wondering if the dinner I’m cooking will turn out ok.
I hope he takes all the time he needs to get himself where he wants to be… even if that means retirement. I’m surprised that more super-duper NBA stars don’t retire even before they start to decline. I mean after 5-6 years or so. How much more do you need when you’re already set?
Legendary ending and silly humor throughout made this my goat game. Super Mario World and Super Metroid tie for second.
Just created !rockets. Still figuring out Lemmy and I’ve never been a moderator, so would definitely like help on that end.
