Ridiculous conspiracy about “definitely spies”, especially in the android community.
I remember someone tried to sue Google for reading his emails, because Anti-Spam must “read” mails to detect spams.
Anyways, for people who are afraid of cloud spions nothing is changed, for people who are interested in Google assistant boosting GA with bard is a promising improvement.
Yes, and that selfhosted code is written by someone else - it cannot be trusted.
This selfhosted, selfwritten code is ok, but wait the hardware is not defined by you - it cannot be trusted!
yes, but google itself claimed nothing. If it would really reduce heating and reduce energy needed to charge the watch - google would mentioned this - this is good for the environment.
according to data I have seen charging speed improvement is formal like 65 min instead of 70 for 0 to 100% and same time from 0 to 50%
I assume that the real reason either cost reduction or space for extra sensors.
Interesting interview, thanks for sharing!
So, no phone, no compass, no map, no nothing?
Yes. Having navigation support on the wrist is really helpful and reduces distruption if implemented well.
This is not the same thing. Apps for hiking like komoot have many special things for hiking during preparation and during hike itself.
BTW, any info about pixel watch update policy?
You are welcome. Komoot is good. What I find attractive offline navigation requires a one time map purchase, not a subscription.
Wearos screenshots I see do not look interesting.
This type of on-the-watch navigation komoot offers for 2 years or so.
And generally for hiking komoot is the best I found.
The thing is more complicated than than. Moreover, there is a wish/needs to train/fine-tune models locally. This is not comparable to initial training of chatGPT like models, but still require some power. Juts today I read that some pixel 8 video improvement features will not be ported to pixel 7 because they need tensor 3 power.
New technology brings new risks. Sell stuff via the internet? Are you crazy?
I assume they simply expect that the risks can be addressed.l. and generally I tend to agree with them. We somehow managed the fact that Google search results are not 100% accurate or Wikipedia articles can be hijacked.
I have a different impression about new AI features backporting plans, but we will see. My point is that ai targeting HW can potentially drive the next smartphones evolution, which is slowed down currently.
The same things people say about every new technology: computers, internet, smartphones etc. I use my smartphone very differently compared to 10 years ago. And apps which existed 10 years ago are very different now and require different HW. CPU progress is slowing, but AI focused hw could be the next wave.
if wired charging has no any benefit one can “sell”, this is a downgrade.
It looks like hardware improvement is shifting to AI capabilities. If so, in 7 years pixel 8 will be hardly interesting for anyone from the target audience.
Not that many. Strange that they did not pitch wired charging as faster or less power consuming or something like that…
Very easy start and algorithmic feed, I think.
Still unclear:
This was a joke. I have problems neither with the keyboard driver nor with cloud services as such. Both can be ok to use or not - one needs to apply common sense.
