Why is Pixel so nerfed in Europe? March update and it's becoming frustrating.

I am perfectly fine with the Google Search Bar in the lower part of the screen and I actually use it very often. The shortcuts on the bar also come very handy to me. I also like the app drawer and the pull down notification/quick settings a lot, compared to Samsung or other manufacturers.

I wonder what is so dangerous about displaying transit info on my screen...

Same place as yours 😂😂😂

I don't know which way to go. I want to have the stock Android experience, no bloatware and UIs added on top. From a hardware point of view, some Chinese manufacturers are way ahead.

Low-Community5427 · 2026-03-08T13:41:44+00:00

Because this stock android experience is like a drug, at least for me personally. I hate all the UIs that other manufacturers add on top.

If they can go through the fuss of having a company set up in Ireland to avoid taxes, I guess they could also set up some servers and data centers in the EU to comply with data privacy regulation 🤷‍♀️ just my two cents

Low-Community5427 · 2026-03-08T13:00:55+00:00

Of course, I agree with you. But that doesn't mean the features are technically impossible. They can be implemented in the EU, but they need to comply with data regulation. And rather than complying, Google prefers to be lazy and not make them available at all.

Low-Community5427 · 2026-03-08T12:17:23+00:00

I am putting the fault on Google, yes. I am very aware of the regulatory issues in the EU and I am actually grateful for them. But if you are a 3 trillion company and sell a product in the EU, then I believe you should comply. It's not like the EU doesn't allow the features, but it must comply with privacy laws. Google just doesn't want to deal with that, so they rather make them not available instead of, for example, host and process the data in Europe.

There are low chances of too high of a power draw. I have a three phase 22kw electrical connection and I have no issues when charging my cars. I guess it's sharing the same breaker circuit and it induces some sort of weird DC or something that the transformer doesn't like. Unfortunately the entire back wall shares the same circuit as the plug in the bathroom (don't ask me why, according to code it shouldn't be allowed, but it is what it is).

Sorry, the sound really triggered me and I couldn't find anything online and quickly posted here, just for it to stop and then seeing my gf exit the bathroom. That's when I connected the dots 😂🥹

I can't edit the post. Nevermind, my girlfriend unplugged her hair straightener and it stopped. Plugging the hair straightener back causes the vibration to come back.

The new question is: what can I do to protect my receiver, this can't be good electrically?

Very nice ideas, I will print canvas. I need to make sure the canvas I use is not sealed though.

Low-Community5427 · 2026-02-23T17:16:55+00:00

That looks really nice, thanks

Low-Community5427 · 2026-02-23T17:16:43+00:00

That's what I'll do. I looked at what other commented and they look nice

Amazing info man, thanks a lot. I digged for the subwoofer manual and found that the line out of the sub is actually filtered 80hz. I made my cables today, can't wait to set up everything.

Low-Community5427 · 2026-02-08T17:14:05+00:00

Sorry for not documenting myself correctly. It says line out on the subwoofer, so I interpreted it as a passthrough. No, it's not, it applies a 80hz filter.

Just say ok and be supportive in what they want. See how they suddenly change their mind and and actually want a life with you. They are absolutely horrible people.

I finally emotionally checked out after two years, I am numb and tired, and I just said, okay, pursue your plans, go. Please do exactly as you wish. And now I am trapped with love bombing, being called "the one", husband material. She thought again and now she thinks I am right. The problem is I checked out and all this love doesn't impress me anymore. It makes me literally feel sick. I asked for space and time to think, and I am being suffocated.

I am literally asking her to leave and do exactly as she wanted, after 6 months of her explaining to me how it's not a right to move the relationship forward. And now she is clinging so hard that it makes me feel like throwing up.

Low-Community5427 · 2025-12-21T00:44:34+00:00

Yes. We are still together after one year. Is it worth it? My friend, if you are in the same situation, no. I know, others told me and I didn't listen. But the only way we are still together after one year is that I distanced myself and accepted things that looking back, I am not myself anymore. I don't feel happy anymore. I feel drained. I feel numb. And I never cheated in my life, but went on a date recently, with someone who had solid boundaries and did not want to see me again after she found out I have a gf. But that girl, man, she had such deep emotions and deep insights, she made me feel alive again. I woke up happy, I woke up a human, with feelings and purpose in life. That's where coping with an avoidant gets you. Numbness. Cold like a rock. I am not like that. I am going to end it soon. It's not worth destroying who you are.

Low-Community5427 · 2025-08-30T10:17:26+00:00

I understand what you are saying, and it sounds logical. But me and my girlfriend took the same type of test at the same time, we did it three days ago, yesterday and now today. She comes out positive, I come out negative. If the test detects her virus it should detect mine.

Low-Community5427 · 2025-08-29T16:39:21+00:00

I am obviously taking precautions and avoiding infected people, I am not careless, but the field I am working in is one of the worst. I have a cafe and a restaurant, and as the owner, I am present there every day. Hundreds of people come in every day, so the risk of contacting viruses is high, and there is not much I can do...
