Probably not since it doesn't use infrared lasers or similar as far as I know

Because:

1. I will buy it anyway
2. I get free earphones when I buy now
3. It will arrive next week

The 7 years of updates and that the software experience will be excellent, sold me to it. I don't even consider Samsung phones because I absolutely hate their software. I also don't consider buying an IPhone because I own an IPad and while not a terrible experience, it's worse than on my Pixel.

Worse than the suboptimal battery life?

Just pre-ordered the 258GB Pixel 8 in rosé

Currently own a 4a and love it except for the battery life and the sometimes bad performance

Then buy the pro, sell the phone and keep the watch

It's not Android 4 where the browser actually had to be updated with a system update

Also they specifically said OS updates

To be fair, they are primarily an Software (and theirfor AI) company.

It's still pretty annoying.

I also actually really liked the intro of the Keynote for once.

They aren't new. They only released new colors

That doesn't really apply to me since my internal motivation dies out pretty quickly and if I force myself to keep going I only get worse and worse results and start hating the things I love.

I don't really get a lot of internal satisfaction or at least not enough that keeps me doing something. If I notice I start losing motivation, it's better for me to stop and pick it up again when I feel motivated again (which can take months or years).

I enjoy the process of learning something new.

Wasn't the case for ImageMagick and OpenSSL for a very long time.

And a lot of FOSS isn't.

It's not that you dislike doing it because you get money for it

You dislike it because you do it all day and don't have any veriety in it. When it's a hobby can can take a break from it at any time and do something else in the meantime

It hasn't been profitable for a long time. Its only recently that it became profitable

Edit: I actually couldn't find anything about it's profability and most sources say it's not really profitable.

But... Why?

Well it depends on.how big the wound is. Usually for me it takes around half an hour for a pimple to "heal"

I don't know about that. The new pixel 8 series is getting announced tomorrow, but I haven't read anywhere that they will release Android 14 tomorrow. When Android 12 released it also took them a couple of weeks to release it for their older models.

Yes. Or in the next coming weeks at least.

Not being tracked doesn't mean they can't have ads.

TV ads are still a thing and so are billboard ads.

They could simply show ads depending on the context of the content you're looking at.

Which clearly isn't as big and mainstream as Reddit

It's not the end of Reddit
