I never use a calendar; most days, I don't even know what day it is. So, your approach is very interesting to me. Could you please tell me more about what your day looks like on the calendar? How detailed is it, and do you do this even on holidays?

I think you're reading more into this than I meant. For example, today: [todo/home] clean air filters [todo/home] take out trash [todo/home] refill [daughter]'s medication [work] 9:30 meeting with [person] [home] 10:30 doctor appt @ 313 river [home] 11:30 [daughter] dropoff at middle school orientation [work] 13:45 meeting with [person] [home] 16:00 [daughter] cello lesson [todo/work] 16:45 check if zpool is done res…

It's simple, I don't have things like that that I need to do on any sort of daily basis.

I have a work calendar for work meetings, but never saw a need for personal calendar.

OK sure I put doctor and dentist on my personal calendar, but dentist is 2x a year and doctor is like once a year for a physical. On my personal calendar I might have a dozen things put on it for the whole year. Some upcoming family event, some wedding, etc.

Looks like they're still only available in "Huge" and "comically oversized". I guess I can keep buying Pixel 4s until new ones (req for battery) are no longer available.

It's interesting how this type of feedback always comes up for phones yet smaller phones have an extremely hard time actually selling enough units to justify making more of them. It seems part of it may be folks remaining in this group seem much more willing to stick with old devices anyways, helping drive less priority for small sizes on top of already being a smaller market segment. Perhaps there are some other big…

Nobody is saying they aren't the least popular, but there are certainly many who would still buy them.

They probably figure if they stop making them then most people will reluctantly move to a bigger model.

iPhone 14 Pro = Weight 206 g (7.27 oz) iPhone 16 Pro = Weight 199 g (7.02 oz) The weight difference (7 grams) seems negligible

It's slight, but noticeable. The 15 Pro was 187g and felt much lighter than the 14 Pro, it's a shame they added more weight on the 16.

Well the 16 Pro has a 0.2" larger screen and large dimensions than the 14 pro and 15 pro.

Also the 17 Pro will now be aluminum which is even lighter than titanium, so it should be a bit lighter than the 16 Pro I think.

I probably have 20-30 “personal”events a week. But that’s because I have two kids.

Right. I meant I don’t make use of such digital assets. They are there because of tech giants, but i just don’t gain much from them.

The argument is that you could potentially make easy use of these digital assets via an assistant that has secure, private access to them. As someone who forgets to use his calendar for social events, I'd love to be able to ask "what events are going on this weekend" and have it show me everything I've agreed to do via email/text message/3p messenger app.

I don't trust that a fuzzy automatism adds anything beneficial to that

Hi pixel users, can we configure the phone to get more privacy ? Primarily looking for disabling complete location tracking, photos processing, app interactions and local ai interactions

I really wish they'd upgrade the Pro Fold to have the Pro camera system. :( I don't know why they assume that someone buying a $2000 phone doesn't want the best available camera.

Agreed - it's surprising to call it Pixel 10 PRO Fold, when it is lacking one of the "Pro" features. Seems like a DISCOUNT is in order.

I don't want a discount; I want a better camera.

I genuinely do not understand this claim and propaganda about Apple privacy. 1) it's known they scan all your content and pics on iCloud 2) the phone's always listening, always 3) once that I forgot my password to the MacBook, all one needed to do to access my data was to enter recovery mode and reset the password. Sure it logged me off from browser sessions, but all my files where there available to anybody To me ap…

Apple's privacy policy is like everything else Apple: it best compares to things outside of it's walled garden. But inside the walls Apple operates just like every other company. It gathers information on all it's users for it's own advertising business. They can claim they don't have third parties involved and that makes them more private, but they do all the same things to their users but just do it themselves. The…

> They’re as much an advertising company as Google or Facebook

They are? By what metric? This sounds made up to support the assertion that a company which doesn’t do broad data sharing with third parties, but keeps it to themselves, is somehow less (or no less) private than those who do.

> solvable with a case The iphone 16's camera bump is 3.5mm. Short of making your own case that makes the bump a Pixel like bar, that wont be solved by just sticking a case. On photos, it is indeed a very personal topic to many. In particular someone taking dozens of random pictures everyday won't have the same use case as someone being a lot more deliberate for each picture for instance. A one size fjts all approach…

> The iphone 16's camera bump is 3.5mm. Why even have a bump? Make the phone thicker by exactly that amount and increase the battery. Then the phone is flat and has a better battery life. Are there uses who actually prefer a bump?

I don't want a phone that would be as heavy as you suggest. I have 0 issue with current battery life.

Like others a case has always made the bump a complete non-issue for me. My iPhone has never wobbles when laid back down on a table.

That fake zoom with AI is gross ugh If I'm taking a picture of something I want it to be real light-to-pixel action not some made up wambo-jambo

Agreed, I was recently looking through photos from my Pixel 5 and realized that it had "helpfully" modified an image of a bunny, making the fur look wavy and adding a weird faded-out eye on the body. On top of that, it applies skin smoothing to every photo, even with the beauty filter disabled. It irked me enough that I'm looking for a new third-party camera app. Despite using exclusively Pixel/Nexus phones for the last 12 years, I might abandon them entirely once this phone dies.
