Mostly FOSS enthusiasts who see any move by Google that makes Android more "closed source" as negative.
You can have multiple users on the Pixel Tablet. Google made a whole new UI for user profiles specifically for the tablet. Each user gets their own customization and apps. Sure it's not a nest hub, but it's not meant to be?
The Waveform podcast is pretty decent. It's MKBHD's podcast.
In India those prices are still "expensive" for the average person. India and SE Asia are a huge cash cow so I doubt they'll increase prices right away since they're still trying to bring more users in, but eventually I'm sure prices go up there too.
Yep this is what I've done. Seems to work so far.
What add-ons do you recommend?
Ah fair enough. Yeah moving here from a country where unlimited data was around $3 a month was a shock. That said I get 40 GB for $50 a month with Koodo so I've never even come close to reaching my limit.
Nobody's forcing anyone to opt-in to the beta. If you want new features before the company is ready to release it on a stable channel, you pay for it in a buggier experience. That's literally what a beta means.
I usually keep data turned off on my phone (because Canada)
What does this mean? I'm in Canada and I've got data turned on virtually the entire time
For a legitimate question you sure do keep countering answers with "I don't do it so why do you?"
As for why people use a dedicated app? Convenience. All my podcast are in one place, they get updated automatically, and if I want it they get downloaded to storage automatically too so I can listen to them offline.
If someone tells me about a new podcast I might like, I can search for it and be listening to it within seconds, rather than having to download it from a website. Plus if I'm using Google Podcasts, playback is synced across devices so I can pick up on my phone where I left off on my computer.
Besides there's a ton of open source podcast apps and most don't have ads or tracking.
You can't have information dense and minimalist at the same time.
