If you use Google services for business activities you‘d presumably pay for a support tier. For the consumer side I suspect, with over 2 billion users, it‘s pretty much impossible to offer human support at scale. That‘s not even taking into

My amateur opinion is we need to get fusion before fossil runs out or we‘re fucked. Then it also needs to be shared among all humans (for free hopefully). Or we are fucked as well. Either energy collapse or war or both might result otherwis

ITT: Google should focus on something else than ads. also: They are wasting resources with their side projects. No one see the irony in that. I like their wacky projects. Obviously they to profit off of them at some point. But they are also

It‘s certainly a massive success for average users. No friction and extremely simple to use. There‘s really nothing like it that‘s as accessible.

From the viewpoint of the founders and especially VPs it‘s almost preferable in many cases, no? Not many are going to say no to a billion dollars in cash.

Owning your own car seems lime the much bigger waste in the long run. Imagine only needing a fraction of vehicles in total. Owning your own car will become a luxury for many people. Kinda like owning a horse. I‘d still rent one every once i

In 5 - 10 years cloud might be much more important. Besides, Google has to get away from relying on advertising as fast as possible, because of looming regulation.

They pay Apple like $12 billion a year to stay the default search engine in Safari. Not exactly free. If they didn‘t have Android they wouldn‘t have any leverage at all in the mobile space.

IMO 48fps was great in the Hobbit trilogy. Maybe not so much in the first one. But I wish directors would opt for higher frame rates if they have fast moving pans, especially in 3D. 3D in 24fps oftentimes looks choppy af. By all means, keep

When you install Chrome you expect the search engine to be set to Google. When you install O365 ProPlus you sure as hell don‘t expect it to change search engine parameters in separate programs.

Different scenario. Voice assistant customers are regular users. The opposing side is a government agency who collects fines. In a cloud data misuse case the civil liabilities are actually terrible, because you’re going up against other cas

Amazon using it‘s marketplace data for their own purposes, while obviously also problematic, is not the same thing as going behind their AWS clients back and using their data. The data literally belongs to the client. I‘m pretty sure they a

Oh come on. There are contracts with GCP customers in place. There is a massive set of regulations around data misuse. Do you really think Google would risk the company-destroying liability of being caught using data improperly (something t

Not there with free consumer Google products. Their enterprise level GCP support is pretty much the same as the other providers.

I don‘t believe they don‘t care about users per say. It‘s more the fact that they are blessed and cursed with the single most profitable business model the world has ever seen. Nothing is going to beat the profit margins of their ad busines

That‘s because these companies, and the regulation itself don‘t have security in mind. It‘s really only about compliance and liability avoidance. There is no incentive for change. Look what happened with Equifax.

That‘s arguably what many people use it for, though. Regarding the street names. I usually approach the service from these 2 directions: - Address or name of place is known. I use Maps to find out where it is and how to get there. - Trying

The reason Google, or search engines in general, seem to be getting worse in the eyes of some users, is not the result of the functioning of the engine necessarily, but rather of the content of the web itself. The whole web is organized and

I can only speak for myself. But I, and I believe many others, actually prefer a subscription. To be fair. I probably watch more content than the average person. So for me it‘s absolutely worth it. I know and used pretty much every modern p

The „watchful eye“ part sounds disturbing. I‘ve been to Singapore and it‘s a very impressive place. But it‘s also very sterile imo. Sure there is awesome street food and culture in general to a degree. But i kept missing the borderline stuf

Ads are looked at as either a nuisance and necessary evil or just a part of how the „free web“ pays for itself. I‘m sure they can. And, as you say, MS does already. supported with ads as well unless I‘m mistaken. Are you suggesting they off

I can tell you from experience that everyday users don‘t care that much about seeing ads. Some even like them. They care even less about the possibility of manipulated results. It’s also a really big topic to explain. Besides the question o
