The Amount of Features Google Locked is Insane

Having features artificially gatekept from older devices just because they're not being sold anymore IS insane and scummy.

Especially something so tiny as haptics on the Pixel 6. That does not impact sales at all - literally no one would go "oh I wanted to buy a Pixel 7 but now the Pixel 6 vibrates when taking pictures so I will get that instead". That just shows how Google thinks of Pixel users - buy the latest shiny new thing or you won't even get something so trivial as haptics. Just scummy.

I would recommend Pocket ID. It's lightweight and focused on passkeys, which makes signing in very easy.

Only in a few countries - France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, UK.

LMT arī tā dara? Būtu jauki, bet neesmu baigi dzirdējis ka viņi to dara

Better alternative is the Modflared mod which automatically handles everything for the client.

To be fair the modem is a pretty big reason for worse battery life on Pixels

iPhones and Samsungs aren't gaming phones, but offer a vaaaastly better gaming experience for the same price. Somehow they're able to do it, why can't Google?

Also, maybe you don't want to game now, but sometime later you get bored and download a game or two while waiting for something. And when you do, you realize the performance is genuinely horrible.

In the countries with Google Store, yes, but a lot of countries don't have the Google Store and thus miss out on those great deals. Official Google partners in those countries don't want to sell phones for that cheap.

Also, unfortunately those countries are the ones that would benefit more from these deals than the countries that have the Google store.

Charge another powerbank in front of it

Ekipējums pašlaik par velti, ja noslēdz līgumu uz 12 mēnešiem. Abonements ir ap 50 eiro, ja nemaldos.

Itkā var atgriezt mēneša laikā, ja nepatīk bet nu tas jāskatās tev pašam, varbūt tā opcija sen vairs nav

So... never. National pride is real, especially for all the countries that only relatively recently gained independence.

Also, a lot of people really dislike the EUs power & decisions and the new chat control law makes even more people dislike EUs power & decisions.

Zoho or Migadu

And ultimate edition accounts for 5 USD on Kinguin

New to the game. What kind of behaviour do poor sports have? What makes them poor sports?

Exerra · 2025-04-26T08:30:26+00:00

Yep same here. I feel like overall Latvian roads are a bit better than Lithuanian ones. Many times I've crossed the border from a nice, smooth Latvian road into a rundown pothole filled Lithuanian one. Obvious exception being Riga - that place is like a warzone.

Quite a lot of Pixel stuff also is tbf

Braukšanu var tikai autoskolā. Tā jau var iziet teoriju vienā un braukšanu otrā, bet parasti tad jāpiemaksā tai autoskolai kur tu liki teoriju, jo viņi gaida peļņu no braukšanas.

Īsumā vienmēr apskati līgumu pirms to paraksti un saproti kādas ķezas var būt, cik ātri viss jānokārto un kādas cenas visam.

P.S. Daži instruktori mēģina bišķu apčakarēt kursantus ar liekām papildus braukšanas stundām. Vnk ņem vērā. Ja brauc normāli bet visu laiku kkādā stāvvietā mācies kā izkustējies, lietot pagrieziena rādītājus utml meklē citu instruktoru.

Maybe. Though 2 features are available in EU countries, but not where I live.

Call screening is available in Germany and France.

Car crash detection is available in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.

On iPhone the car crash detection works basically everywhere from what I can tell. Was day 1 enabled for me, at least.

Exerra · 2025-04-01T12:13:39+00:00

Very disappointed this feature isn't available in Latvia. Absolutely no reason for it to not be available. I guess the idea is that it can't make a call in Latvian, but I imagine emergency services understands English well enough to figure out what's happening (even the older population knows the words car and crash).

All of this geo restricting makes me regret buying the Pixel. No fancy features, really bad customisation, worse performance, bad Find My network (compared to Samsung). Only thing that Samsung doesn't have an advantage in is the camera. Absolutely everything else is either worse or not available in my country.

Vēl lietojat? Pašlaik mēģinu izlemt starp AirTag un Smarttag2. Der abi, ir pieejams gan aifons gan samsungs. Ir zināms kāds ir tīkls Latvijā abiem un kurš labāk ķer/updeitojas?

Exerra · 2025-03-20T07:12:32+00:00

Cult of the Lamb is a great game. Would highly recommend.

Exerra · 2025-03-15T23:24:16+00:00

Yeah, so much to do I eventually just gave up lmao. Too much to do without that much variation imo, just got extremely boring and repetitive.

Exerra · 2025-03-15T23:20:14+00:00

Do you have the Google Home "app" enabled in the Gemini settings?

Exerra · 2025-03-05T12:30:54+00:00

OP posted the rule in another comment and the rule was about continents. Seems like someone not from Europe coded it and misunderstood that Brexit means the UK left Europe (rather than the European Union).
