All right then, name a single plug and Play solution that allows you to dismiss a notification on one Android device, and automatically dismiss it on another without any intervention.

Systems and macros such as Tasker do not count.

No seriously if there were any alternatives I would love to know about them

Wish this could have been in the US

Part of what I've hoped about Gemini is that Google would actually take advantage of its Cloud infrastructure and build Gemini in a way that makes it truly cross-platform compared to the Google Assistant with a consistent set of features across the web, the speaker, and anywhere else they choose to cram Gemini into.

Instead they choose to channel everything through WhatsApps Android app.

I don't want more app stores I just want something like a cross platform version of obtainium

The ministries want you to think not, but they probably can.

Mainly Firefox. It has quite a good extensions engine, but the overall UX just still isn't there compared to other browsers. I really don't care about all the ethical or moral reasons people try to come up with for using it, I just want a browser that has a lot of good functionality in comparison with Edge or Vivaldi.

And while I am aware of some of the forks like Floorp and Librewolf, I find the latter to be too hardened, and the former to be behind compared to upstream.

I use Bing. Partly because it's the only real option if you want to search from the windows start menu. But also because I do like how it presents info a bit better, and also like its knowledge graph a little better than the one Google has.

That being said, the engine does have a lot of issues with relevancy. And its image search is almost unusable. So I often find myself needing to go to. Other than that, I'm fine with changing it to my default across everything I own. I just wish MS would fix its most blatant issues instead of bullying old people into using it.

Bing images is simply terrible

It's like Google and starts off by showing you the most relevant answer you wanted through an info card. But then it goes on longer and longer under things that are less and less relevant.

Like, one of their examples is "What is a spaghetti western?", And it starts with the answer you were probably looking for

A subgenre of western films produced by Italian filmmakers

But then it just starts going on and on with increasingly less relevant things like "History and origins", "Best and most influential movies", and then "Music and Soundtracks" before then getting the actual search results.

It's literally designed to keep you from leaving the site. And all the sources seem to require quite a few clicks on mobile.

My emails seemed to go through pretty well. It's been blocked by Discord and steam. But other than that, emails seem to go through pretty well.

Consumer disapproval of AI use in customer service is unlikely to keep firms from deploying the technology as the cost savings are just too great

So much for the market determining what goes

 

Google rolling out Android, Chrome, & Search changes to comply with Europe’s DMA

 

I'm just sitting here frustrated because I'm wanting my family to move away from messaging me over SMS (they mainly use iOS), but they refuse to download any extra apps. But Google's RCS really doesn't look like a solution either since it mainly just seems to be a way of enforcing Android as an ecosystem, and they don't even make RCS available for 3rd party apps to use either.

 

The bugdroid is now in 3D lol

 

I found this, I'm wanting to get a pixel tablet in about a week or so. Title just got me wondering a bit, though it's probably just a little bit sensationalized
