Impressive that such a huge company can fuck up so well.
I guess switching to an alternative OS is a matter of keeping your device alive then.
Bewildering mess is accurate. My daughter has a 4a. They took her perfectly good battery and toasted it, now it fully drains in about 20 minutes. The solution? They’ll pay for a repair… 150 miles from my house, or send me $50… Through Payoneer??? Or give me $100 credit to the Google store where the cheapest phone is $500. Oh or I can send it in to Google where it will take a full month at least to get the phone back to her. The new batteries are all on backorder so even if I replace it myself she has to put up with this issue for an indeterminate amount of time.
Even better, I made an appointment and the 200 mile drive to uBreakiFix to have my son’s battery replaced, and only when I got there did they tell me not only are the batteries on back order, so are the screens because according to them, they have to be replaced every time too.
Thanks for fucking telling me before I spent an entire day on that trip…
When I took my pixel 8 pro to ubreakifix they told me they don’t fix them there at all… They just send it to Google. Why would I ever go there if I could just send it to Google myself? It’s such a stupid place to have as an official warranty provider
I’m gonna go ahead and say what we all think and know to be true. This is Apples fault. Fully and completely. It’s as plain has day. And i will downvote and persecute any one that dares to do call us out on this.
Plain as day how? The controversy Apple had was throttling processors in phones with aging batteries so they wouldn’t randomly shut down under load. That’s not even close to the same thing as purposely pushing an update you know will basically brick phones. Apple was actually attempting to extend the life of older devices not make them useless. I’m not saying Apple handled it correctly, but this is plain as day not the same thing.
There was a troll that came into the comments, loudly screaming at everyone that we were all deluded Google fanboys who were surely going to downvote this to oblivion and leap to Google’s defense, and blame Apple. They were not deterred when no one did that, and also they called me a Republican for some reason.
They’ve now been banned and their content deleted, leaving Iceman’s surreal comment as the only remnant. But without the thing it’s satirizing, it’s just a bizarre and wrong comment on its own. Iceman is not serious, they’re just making fun of the troll.
YEAH BROTHER
Google support staff have suggested to more than one 4a owner that yet another future update could force a factory reset and automatic update.
Google racing to kill off the pixels
I find this confusing because I upgraded from that model after they discontinued updates for the 4a about a year ago

What on earth are you talking about?
Did they nuke their entire account over criticism!?
They were banned for a month for consistent cockmongery. It’s more kindness than I would have shown, it seems unlikely that they will reform after the timeout.
Ah. I saw them stirring up shit elsewhere too…
I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of accounts picking fights with literally everyone over literal total schizophrenic nonsense. And, this is the second time one of them has called me a MAGA person out of nowhere. I think it’s interesting. I want to know more.

I reported you for “the fuck is wrong with this person.”
No one is downvoting, no one is rationalizing, I am OP so obviously I am in favor of the story. It’s nothing to do with Apple, no one here loves Google, IDK what you’re on about but it is nothing productive. I hope you find someone who loves Google and hates this story. Will you then feel satisfied in whatever you’re saying? IDK but they haven’t shown up yet and it feels a little unlikely that they will.

That’s interesting. You are the second person recently I have seen randomly accusing people of being MAGA for literally no reason at all.
Tell me more about how you know that. How does it connect?

You have no point. You entered a thread completely unrelated to Apple and started angrily ranting about Apple haters? You are either trolling and doing a bad job of it, or you are just so angry and online that you are expecting viewers to magically understand your non sequitur without further context.
I have no idea what happened to you recently that explains you acting like this, but I hope your day improves soon. It’s not healthy to have that much vitriol pent up.

Is this entity who’s preventing you from enjoying your Apple devices in the room with you now?

Man, are you okay? Is there something you’re taking or not taking that you should be?
I feel like they’re just deliberately picking fights and being obnoxious. To what end I don’t know. I guess we should break out the “Don’t feed the trolls” sign drawn in ascii, like on Usenet of old.
every single person here will find a way to blame Apple for this.
Here comes the downvotes and ridiculous rationalizations
Gaslighting me only proves that you have no better argument than your irrational bullshit.
Yeah, people pushing back on your projections are the ones picking fights… 🙄
EDIT: Sorry, not you. Replied to the wrong person, as I’m sure you deciphered…

This, friends, is the result of decades of sniffing glue.

What are you talking about?
Out of 15 comments in the thread exactly zero of them blame apple for literally anything to do with this situation. The only one who seems to think they’re at all relevant to this situation is you
Unclear if you’re just trolling, but google fucked it 🤷♂️
