Every single week I have to refuse enabling back up for my pictures on my Google pixel. I refuse it today, next week I open the app and the UI shows the back up option enabled with a button "continue using the app with back up".
Somebody took the time to talk down my comment about this being a strategy to give their AI more training data. I continue believing that if they have your data they will use it.
How many SaaS / Cloud Native companies are really GPU constrained? The overwhelming majority of SaaS is a relatively trivial CRUD web-app interfacing with a database, performing some niche business automation, all of which would fit comfortably on a couple of physical servers.
… and that situation will persist until other vendors release consumer GPUs with significant VRAM. Nvidia craftily hamstrings the top consumer GPUs by restricting VRAM to 24GB. To get a bit more costs 3-5x. Only competition will fix this.
Even then NVIDIA has a pretty significant technology moat because most of the tools are built around and deeply integrate CUDA so moving off NVIDIA is a costly rewrite.
I fixed this by disabling the Photos app and using Google Gallery (on the Play store). It's the same thing as Photos for what I was using it for, without the online features.
How is it buggy? Are you using the Google Play Store?
I've been using GrapheneOS for years (Pixel 3 through 7), with only open source add-on apps and no Google Play Store, and it's been pretty solid. (Other than my carrier seeming to hate the 6a hardware or model specifically.)
It was referring to the overall experience to which I was referring, not the OS specifically ("it's a buggy ride", it = the ride, not GrapheneOS)
I imagine a lot of the issues are because of the apps not testing on GrapheneOS.
But I've had lots of little issues:
- Nova Launcher on a daily basis stopped working when pressing the right button (the 'overview' button). I had to kill the stock Launcher app to fix it, interestingly. Had to revert to the stock launcher
- 1Password frequently doesn't trigger auto-fill in Vivaldi
- Occasionally on boot the SIM unlock doesn't trigger
- Camera crashing often (yes, "could be hardware"...I read the forums/GitHub issues)
More that I can't remember. It's a bit frustrating.
But don't get me wrong, I appreciate the project. I'm not going to go back to stock
I in no way want to absolve Google, but that's the case for so many app permissions on Android. Turn off notifications, and two weeks later the same app your turned off notifications for is once again sending you notifications. It's beyond a joke.
You might have disabled one type of notifications, instead of all types of them. Making sure I disable all types of notification from an app usually works for me. What brand of phone are you using?
Can you share some apps where this happens for you. I have rather the complete opposite experience where unused apps with permissions eventually lose said permissions.
This is normal, with newer versions of android (probably 10+) there is a feature that checks and removes unused permissions from apps in the last X days.
Thanks for that link! I was aware of that feature hence why I was curious which cases where apps get additional permissions rather than lose as expected.
That would make a bit of sense then, I don't have lyft but uber lists over 6 distinct notification types, where disabling one would lead me to believe the other notifications would keep pinging still.
