What's ridiculous about it ? There are now 4-5 gens of Pixels with their major/minor bumps too (A series, pro, etc.). There's enough variety at different price

What's ridiculous about it ? There are now 4-5 gens of Pixels with their major/minor bumps too (A series, pro, etc.). There's enough variety at different price points for everyone there.
- konstantinua00 1y ago4-5 versions of the same phone in the gigantic sea of possible devices
- bubblethink 1y agoThe other devices don't meet the criteria. Be happy that Pixels are supported, for Google seems to closing down Pixel OS too, making this whole effort rather difficult.
- konstantinua00 1y ago> The other devices don't meet the criteria you got it wrong way around the CONSUMER criteria is "we want better independent security ON DEVICES WE ALREADY OWN" complaints like in this thread are symptoms of unfullfilled demand - and they can't be solved by saying "oh gosh, what a stupid demand that doesn't agree with our supply"
- cwillu 1y agoNobody said it was stupid, but you wanting something doesn't make it a requirement for a project with different goals.
- homarp 1y agocar analogy: I want my gazoline car to have hybrid engine. For free. vendor: not possible you: unfulfilled demand me: the way I see it, you get a product for free if you fulfill certain conditions. If not, you buy these conditions.
- Attrecomet 1y agoWhat a bad analogy, acting as if the extra security could only be an all-in.
- palata 1y agoThere are hardware requirements.
- konstantinua00 1y agothere are smaller security options
- konstantinua00 1y agono, correct analogy would be vendor: "we present 100% electric car" we: "that's cool, I always wanted to decrease petrol use. But... can you provide an option for some petrol use? It's called hybrid, iirc?" vendor: "no, our requirements only support 100% electric car. Hybrid cars use petrol and we can't allow that" we: "suuure, I get that. But the price of electricity here still hasn't come down, everyone already has personal petrol reserves, and your cars are only provided with batteries from congonese child labor mines. Can we pleeease have the half-way option so that I can use less petrol for e.g. small distance travel, but still using petrol for country-sized movement?" vendor: "no, we only support 100% electric car. Everything smaller is outside our requirements" Real economics would've provided competition to fullfill demand - but currently Graphene is the only well-known vendor, so complaints will keep coming
- rambambram 1y agoI was going to type something, but upon a second read I see you say 'consumer' instead of 'customer'. Fair enough.
