  • My wife bought a new Pixel 8 recently from Google Fi. They sent a Pixel 6a for some reason. She attempted to work with their incompetent, powerless, disconnected and foreign support for a week to get something to happen, desperately reaching out every day for someone to just tell her what was happening. Then, she just purchased a new one because you can’t go longer than that without a phone.

    Then it was 2 more weeks of them failing to issue a refund for the original wrong phone, trying to ship another phone that she no longer needed, and simultaneously trying to bill her a penalty for not yet activating the phone that was originally shipped.

    All it would take is one person who had information, authority, and a modicum of understanding. Nope. That is not a thing that can be achieved through any level of escalation at Google anymore.

    Nokia had the same problem recently during a recent issue. They have intentionally made it impossible to solve issues. This is what some companies want. Don’t buy from them.












  • I was looking for a foot rest for my outdoor hanging chair this past weekend. So I searched for “hanging chair foot rest”. Apparently, there are really popular products out there that are foot rests that hang under your desk, or on an airplane seat, and it clogged up the results. It isn’t what I wanted, but it was all I got.

    So I searched for “hanging chair foot rest -desk -airplane”. And I found that modifiers don’t fucking work for Google shopping. They have disabled operators completely. I’m trying to find what I want using methods that used to work fine, and you’re saying “no… what you want is this thing you told us you didn’t want.”

    Google sucks. Eat dicks Google.
