Sounds really interesting. I'm thinking about getting a foldable that doesn't allow different layouts for the screens, will probably check it out if I get one. Does it allow the swipe down gesture to open notifications?

Thank you! That is very informative.
There's a lot of One UI features that I take for granted now (same thing I also hear from friends who switched to a Pixel)
As someone who has only ever used Samsung and is thinking about getting a pixel this worries me a bit. Could you elaborate?
Yeah, same here. It's a pretty specific demand when bluetooth headphones have become really good and actually have a lot of advantages compared to wired ones. Also there is always the option to use a USB C dongle so it's really not that big of a deal.
They explain very thoroughly on their website why they did it:

The moment Adobe Creative Cloud works on Linux, I'll switch. Until then I'll have to stick with Windows.
It is mine. There is a room with each tenant' washing machine in the basement and that is a typical situation in Germany.
Not trying to defend stupid internet connectivity but my washing machine is in the basement in a shared laundry room while I live on the second floor of the apartment building. No way I'll hear it beep so a notification would be very useful actually. This is a very common situation in Europe where a lot of people live in rental apartments.
The problem is rather that there needs to be WiFi access in the laundry room.
Well you can refuse to accept papers that contain it. No problem with that. It's their internal guidelines.
Yeah, it really is a shame. Apart from the battery it's a really nice phone, but the battery issue completely ruins the experience. I'm going to replace mine as soon as my current contract ends in July so I can get a good deal for a device with a new plan. I even dropped it and shattered the screen back in October but didn't bother to have it repaired because I didn't want to put more money into this device. I'm annoyed by the cracks every single day, but it just feels too wrong to pay more money for it. I'll be so happy when I finally have a new phone.
Looks like the Pixel 8 would be a good option. I don't think I can wait until the Pixel 9 comes out. I'm also keeping an eye on the Pixel Fold 2, hope it'll be released in May.
I'm crying salty tears on my S22 that gets me 2.5 hours of SOT on a good day, 1.5h on a not so good day.
I think this is intentional. They want you to take time looking at the pictures so you might think "you know what, actually I'd like some of those fries as well" by making it hard to just quickly select what you want and leave.
I wouldn't even be surprised if there's a psychological effect where you feel like ordering more makes this tedious ordering process more worthy. I mean why go through 2 minutes of clicking and waiting just for one stupid cheeseburger.
