Charge ahead to worker protections and well-deserved compensation!

I really do like the concept in contrast to some other comments here. I think improved integration can be a path to a better user experience. However, I have doubts Google has the skills to bring it home and actually make it work correctly every time and across numerous devices. A project like these takes something Google doesn't seem to have: commitment.

I see this more as an idea that will come broken on delivery and then removed in the following major release. I'd like to be proven wrong. Really and truly.

I can't tell whether it's the users or engagement baiting bots anymore.

This image brings me discomfort.

Those are some real beauties!

I had a car with a broken fuel gauge before. It was quite the source of anxiety.

One option could be to get one of those 5G modems. It would require you to pay for your own Internet service, but many will then provide an Ethernet connection as an option, meaning you would never have to accept the legal terms presented to you. You could even use Wi-Fi because technically you never agreed to the terms, and practically speaking so many devices generate Wi-Fi networks I think it would be hard to enforce that you don’t produce any networks. Printers, smart watches, IP cameras… Are they really going to wardrive and triangulate the position of wireless devices on a regular basis? A sneaky network named after a printer or hidden SSID combined with ignorance for a TOS you never agreed to would probably slip through the cracks.

They don’t own the spectrum. I’m not sure it’s even legal to mandate that you can’t use Wi-Fi devices as long as you’re not using their network. When I was in university, there were still tons of such devices emitting signals that weren’t connected to the university network despite policy.

Aren’t newer versions of the device waterproof? Though, you may be using a version that didn’t have that feature yet.

Rice method.

How’s that fancy collision avoidance now?

Anon single-handedly defeats the corporate overlords.

Plot twist: this was actually an ad for Long John Silver’s.

When I was a kid, friends hadn’t been invented yet. We had to imagine them ourselves.
