    I don’t really understand how they consistently manage to screw things up. And they always say that the features are coming, but they never do.

    I’m still bitter over Inbox.

    I used to be excited about new things from Google. Tried to get into every beta, downloaded the newest released apps etc. But not anymore.

    I just read about tasks being removed from Google Keep. Then the feature removal from nest hubs. Do they have a unified strategy at all? Or is it just the whims of a manager’s daily musings that drive what development does?




  • I think the difference is that Apple products can be repaired, as parts are plentiful for third party repairers and apple will also repair it (for a premium).

    The article is saying how no-one, not even Google, can repair a pixel watch as there were no spare parts produced.

    Edit: I understand their repair policies re MacBook repair shops etc, but for a consumer being told that even the manufacturer can’t do anything is a bit galling and cause for reflection on future purchases.
