Google Unveils Pixel 2 Smartphone, Pixelbook, and Two New Google Home Speakers

If you are going to hammer the Google Pixel 2 for the huge bezels with an old design, you have to include Apple with the Iphone 8 Bezel Blobs.

To be fair, the regular pixel 2 has way bigger bezels.
 
5-7 Week delay for the Pixel 2 in about the worst "blue" I have ever seen!!! I guess beauty is really in the eye of the beholder.

Unless you consider how you are selling your soul to google and giving them access to all your data / letting all the ads in.

I just found an ad blocker that also clicks all ads (or optionally only ones not conforming to "do not track" requests) to confuse the tracking. Hilarious. But I don't use it because I'm pretty sure it's considered illegal click fraud.

“Moving to the USB-C audio port with Pixel 2 allows us to provide a better audio and digital experience, as we move towards a bezel-less future.”

How can you come with such a stupid statement? They've learned well from Apple.

That reminded me of one of the quotes from non-other than Josef Goebbels, German Nazi “Minister of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment”
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Telus in Canada is now offering a free Google Home Mini if you pre-order the Pixel 2... tempting deal as I decide what phone to upgrade.

when you have 3 devices that have paired with the bluetooth and you need to switch between the three, that's where the flow breaks down.

Either device #1 and #2 are connected and you want to use device #3 which means you need to manually pair #3 again, or manually disconnect device #1 so that #3 auto connects. And let's just hope that device #2 isn't taking priority or else you need to manually disconnect device #2 as well.

Remember the Note 8 and S8 allows two separate Bluetooth devices on separate Bluetooth connections...that dual Bluetooth comes in handy.

great but it still doesn't really solve the core issue.

I have no issues and I have a bluetooth mouse, bluetooth keyboard, and bluetooth speaker or bluetooth headphones connected at the same time most of the time all working at the same time seamlessly.

issue isn't multiple bluetooth devices, problem is connecting bluetooth headphones across 5-6 devices. i can do it, but it's a painful process every time. sometimes it's simply telling the transmitting device to connect, other times is forcing the unpair from other devices to connect to a particular device.

Apple saw this issue and created the W1 chip in the Airpods. any device that you grab, you simply airplay it to airpods and it works every single time. no need to unpair from another device ever.
