The speed of Google's update schedule, with monthly ship dates for various APEX modules and the core OS, is entirely a Google-created problem. If you can't handle it, just stop. Release things when they are ready and tested. An overhaul should have happened 4 months ago.

Google's fix for a Pixel phone storage bug, the second one in the past four months, is a very technical manual process requiring access to developer tools

Ron Amadeo / Ars Technica :

This is the 2nd bad Pixel update in 4 months. Google should *halt all Android updates* until it 1) Develops a rollback system. 2) Is able to overhaul testing. If not able to do 1 and 2, accept this is too fast and go back to a yearly-only schedule. https://arstechnica.com/...

As expected, looks like Apple killed Beeper Mini. All this iMessage stuff is a waste of time. Apple does not want Android users to use it. You will be shut down. But hey this one lasted like twice as long as Sunbird! https://techcrunch.com/...

As Beeper Mini experiences an outage, Beeper CEO Eric Migicovsky says that “all data indicates” Apple found a way to cut off the app's ability to function

A Pixel Fold reviewer says the device's flexible OLED screen died after four days of light use, starting at the bottom and moving upwards, likely due to debris

The closed display halves almost touch, and that can smash debris into the screen.  —  A flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

@killedbygoogle Google couldn't commit to a “10-30 year project”? Wow who could have seen that coming. The funniest phrase in there is that they quit “after the first demolition phase.” Imagine Google rolls into town, demolishes everything, and leaves.

lol. The self-fulfilling prophecy is complete. Nobody bought Stadia because they assumed Google would kill it, and Google is forced to kill Stadia because it's unpopular. Google's reputation for killing services killed a service,. I'm not sure how the company ever fixes that.

Stadia must go down as the biggest money loser in Google history. Free hardware for everyone, refunds to consumers for games while still having to pay the developers, who knows how many make-nice deals for developers that ended up making a game for a dead platform. Yikes.
