Some Black Mirror shit.
I'm fully plugged into the Google ecosystem
Found the problem.

I was just about to start using antigravity
If the service still exists you haven't had the full Google experience yet.
I have long believed no one at Google actually uses their products. After buying a Pixel 10 and dealing with the ridiculous number of severe bugs they released with Android 16 I'm sure of it.
What kind of bugs? This is the first I've heard. What was your experience like?
Let's see here...
- USB won't function at all with some computers because "It'S tOo aDvAnCeD".
- Bluetooth refuses to automatically connect to either of my cars and the phone regularly needs to be restarted to get it to connect.
- Audio apps are killed to "save battery" when playing a long audio file even when phone is charging no matter the app settings.
- Bluetooth volume control intermittently stops working and becomes an on/off switch, either full volume or silent. Recommended fix? Reset Bluetooth and wifi, deleting all devices and networks and starting again. The fix is a temporary solution only and after reconnecting and redefining everything you'll have to do it again.
- Phone ignores DND settings, instead it alerts in the middle of the night inviting me to try new features or warning that "Crash detection won't work with Location Off".
- A firmware update cut battery life by 30%.
- When music apps like Poweramp and VLC are in use, phone alarms and timers break the audio output stream and do not release it. The apps must be killed and restarted to work again.
These are all known problems and there have been many, many more. I've had to shut off a bunch of features that I bought the phone for, block notifications and repeatedly go into Developer Settings to deal with all the issues. The Pixel 10 is the best advertisement for an Iphone that I've ever seen and I'd never recommend it.
If that's generally the state of Vibecoded 16, the phone world will be a bit in a pickle.
Why does everyone get to act like such a fucking add hole as soon as AI comes into the equation?
We used to get out our pitchforks and boycott companies for this shit.
