"ditching your moral compass" is hardly accurate. You don't even know the man. It's disappointing to see Cook and Trump together. It really feels like they should be at odds but we know both of their motives. Cook wants to do what's best for his company and Trump wants to do what's best for his ego.

Neither motive excuses morally bankrupt behavior. Especially when that motive is ego and/or greed. Nice try though.

I want to like android the last time I tried was probably Galaxy S20 I'm guessing. I like what Google is doing with Gemini and AI on their devices but do not like the hardware. If samsung had everything from pixel including the dialer I would probably try it out.
I have the same "Phone by Google" app on my Motorola that the Pixels do (it's downloadable from Google Play, which is the app store), but they have a hardware check, I guess, because they mention that some new features are only for those phones. I had a Motorola phone years ago that actually had the (pre-AI) call screening feature, but since then they locked it down. So you need to decide what you like about that phone app.

That isn’t true anymore, because the EU mandates more than five years of updates. Google and Samsung both now promise seven years of updates, which is about the same as what Apple provides.

Personally I use a Samsung tablet in addition to iPads, and while some things are worse, other things are also better.
Is that just for phones, or also for tablets, now?
That explains why my current phone is still getting updates (Motorola only used to give out one major OS update for their low end when I bought mine). I'd love it if the cheap tablet makers had to support longer, too. I don't think my current tablet's ever had even a security update, while my phone updated to October's last week.
It's hard for me to pin down specific things I prefer about each interface, but I definitely prefer the way Android handles notifications.

It's not retroactive for older devices, though.

Makes no difference. There was an election and there were votes. Trump won.

You - as a nation - voted for this.

Of course it makes a difference.
I'm not on the hook for anything Trump or his administration does.

I didn't vote for him.

Do you think folks who didn't vote for Obama would say they "voted for him/what he did"?

Ab-so-lute-ly NOT

If you’re primary residence in the US Your retirement is in the hook, interest rates, money out of your pocket, products you buy, etc. we’re all in for every president.

Unless you live in a cabin off the grid in the back woods.
 
Maybe. But we don’t know who his handlers were for four years. He was certainly a checked out sock puppet.
You seen/heard Trump lately? Falling asleep everywhere, has to be told what he's signing, can't give a coherent speech, can't walk a straight line, barely knows what his own people are doing half the time, has to be led around like a senile old man. Talk about puppets....it's practically Weekend at Bernie's at this point. The vultures are getting ready to pounce.

I didn't vote for nor was I 'good' with Biden. Like I said, Biden wasn't a criminal, rapist, Epstein loving pedo, con-artist, traitor. Anyone with a conscience and modicum of intelligence and morals should be pissed that this piece of crap is in the White House. Have a great evening.
