Many of my close friends and myself that have used Android phones have sworn off the Pixel brand.

Personally I had issues with GPS and the speaker on my Gen 1 pixel.

We all seem to run into hardware faults right around the end of the warranty period and their value seems to drop like a rock on the second-hand market months after launch.

Just my anecdotes.

I think I'm growing tired of reading articles and books that disguise opinions as "Best Practice." I find most of these types of articles and guides lacking in substance.

All of them seem to use blanket statements that lack any evidence as to why the claim being made is true. We are just expected to trust the author, when the author isn't even an expert in the topic they are discussing.

It's frustrating to see a post like this just blaming Google for their issues, when perhaps their reporting/reviews might be at fault? Many people who look up reviews for products reviewed by Retro Dodo often criticize the reviews for lacking substance or getting very basic facts wrong.

I know that I added them to my personal filter list when I found them providing mis-info or just click-farming off of unannounced products.

Payday loan companies like Klarna should probably apply AI to avoid granting loans to people who obviously can't pay them back...

Oh, wait, that would probably be be 90% of the people that use these loan providers to buy something. They should probably be regulated out of existence instead.
