Oh, Joy. More Google Shit.

Right, so apparently Google thinks we’re all *desperate* for slightly-less-awful versions of the things they already make. The Pixel 10 series is coming – surprise, it’s got AI shoved into every crevice like a goddamn digital colonoscopy. They’re promising better cameras (because their last ones weren’t quite good enough at taking pictures?), and some “Magic Editor” bullshit that’ll probably just mangle your photos beyond recognition. Fantastic.

Then there’s the Pixel Watch 4. Another watch. *Another fucking watch*. They’re claiming improved health tracking, which is great if you enjoy being constantly monitored by a company that sells your data. And it’ll be more expensive, naturally. Because why wouldn’t it be?

Oh, and the Pixel Buds 2a? Yeah, they’re making cheaper earbuds. Groundbreaking. Expect slightly worse sound quality for a marginally lower price. It’s the Google way. They’re also trying to make everything “seamless” which translates to “more ways for things to go wrong and require endless troubleshooting.”

Basically, it’s more of the same from Google: incremental updates, inflated marketing hype, and a general disregard for actually fixing the fundamental problems with their products. Don’t get your hopes up. Seriously.

Related Anecdote: I once had to debug a routing issue caused by a misconfigured Google DNS server. Spent 36 hours straight tracing packets, only to find out it was their fault. Their support response? “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” I swear, sometimes I think they just *want* us all to suffer.
