Yeah, I have never once been force updated by windows despite using it for many years. Why? Because I update my fucking computer like you should.

Doesn’t Linux require Kernel updates quite often though? Pretty sure those require a reboot.

Sure rebooting is annoying but you only have to do it 12 times a year so it really doesn’t matter that much unless you computer runs on tape or something.

Updating servers can by experience be more annoying though due to shitty applications that need manual intervention.
But clients are no problem.

P.S While not relevant to home users, windows nowadays be fully patched without rebooting for 2 out of 3 updates. You do have to pay for it with extra licenses though. I assume Linux also can be hot patched in a similar way (but maybe for free?) but normally it’s not.

Considering the fact that most home users would never ever update their PCs unless forced too and then complain about a virus they got. It kinda makes sense to force people to update.

The same applies in any professional environment. Not forcing updates to clients in a professional environment is very stupid and will land you in trouble sooner or later.

Have people forgotten about photoshop? Photoshoping that almost takes less time than deepfaking or ai generating.

With what money?

While annoying, the journalists needs to be paid somehow.

Not sure if it counts but chatbot support in the sidebar has existed for quite some time now.

Pixels aren’t free though.

I mean it’s technically possible. But don’t really believe that to be the case. Either why, in my opinion we one shouldn’t spread information or theories without any concrete evidence at all. It’s not like I feel sorry for Google or whatever I’m just tired of the constant misinformation and conspiracy theories.

The Pixel might be subsidized to get Android some more market share from Apple, or earn more money Google Play Store sales or whatever. Subsidizing your phone business just to collect more data might make some sense unless you are Google which already knows everything about everyone.

For the ISP sure, but for Google? I don’t really think they would care all that much.

Sure but if Google wanted to push the devices onto people because of tracking purposes wouldn’t they also make them cheaper to buy outright?

What do you think propaganda means?

Come on now, it’s actually 0,333… in 8,333…

Pixels cost around the same as any other phone from Samsung, Oneplus, or whatever.

Absolutely, I use PowerShell loads every single day.

Some things are easier or faster with a GUI and some things are easier or faster with a terminal.

Figirl doesn’t crack games so that’s not likely

Most grocery stores have it where I live.

Have you tried dishwashing salt?
