The rate limiting of wifi pinging means Google just ripped the heart out of wardriving.

I guess they ran out of new feature ideas ... and release names.

They announced the release name thing a week ago:

As a recent iOS user coming from Android, this almost makes me want to go back. I really do miss the Smart Reply and native Google Assistant features. But alas, iMessage pressure is real in my friend's group.

Nice to see Signal (not the default Messages app) in the Smart Reply demo.

Is it?

I use Signal because I don't want Google reading my messages.

Looks like they are starting to get seriously concerned about projecting non-monoplistic "fair competition" image. Unfortunately most devs know it's not the case in reality.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How could you even tell without an organic LED screen?

While you can't tell it's "true" black without an OLED, it's clearly a dark grey.

The frame of the phone is darker, and even that is not #000. The web page background is, though.

How does the pressure manifest?

> With Android 10, you’re in control of your privacy.

With privacy being the latest buzzword in the tech industry and all this news about privacy blunders I keep seeing, For Google to market something like this for Android makes you wonder what other nefarious features that have been added to Android that they didn't tell you about.

In terms of privacy, Android 10 instead screams "Upgrade and lose control of your privacy".
