This one would be good narrated by @zefrankhttps://twitter.com/rdrv3/status/1422668825942654976 …

The funny thing is I didn’t know this was literally a @internetofshit Alexa smart soap dispenser when I tweeted. Thought I was being funny. Woops

I can no longer add a fleet

This definitely looks like a Made by Google soap dispenser.https://twitter.com/WinFuture/status/1422562661716439041 …

Some personal news: @technacity says I am permitted to rant about Google branding on Alphabet Scoop this week, so that is a thing I will be doing.

Like if in 5 years the major engineering problem Google is solving with its custom SoC has something to do with batteries and then they rename it to "Google Electron".

Google Tensor is such a weird name for the SoC... it feels similar to "Pixel Visual Core" which eventually had to become "Pixel Neural Core" because the name had to be updated to reflect its evolving selling point. This feels like it might become vulnerable to the same issue.

All the goodbye fleets are definitely an Internet moment

Sometimes you just have to face market realities. I'm excited to try out the Pixel 6 and see just how well it stands up to the top-of-the-line Samsung flagships. But I think there's a sea change here: that comparison is going to the one of primary relevance from here on out.

But sometimes you come face to face with market realities, and last year was the perfect opportunity for the Pixel team to regroup and consider what they're really trying to do here. Clearly, the path forward became Make Pixel Android Again. And that's fine!

I thrived on the frustration of longstanding Android people, every single time a new Pixel launched, when Google decided to buck yet another Android flagship design trend. Maybe I'm just a contrarian, but I saw the vision and I loved the Pixel 4.

That makes sense for a company as large as Google, and to me, it was what made covering the Pixel for so many years so exciting. I never really loved the iPhone, and I never really loved the typical Android flagships. Pixel was something new that had smart people behind it.

Google wanted to tread their own path. If you walked into a Verizon store, you saw the three choices: Samsung, Google, and Apple. To do so, they tried to build a phone that was just Google and set aside preconceived Android notions. After 5 iterations, it didn't work.

I have A Take

Hm, I’ve been thinking about this a lot today and am not sure what Google thinks is the path breaking the Samsung/Apple duopoly. They’ve clearly regrouped. What’s the plan?https://twitter.com/9to5google/status/1422244378278510597 …

Yo @mfriend1998 care to act this one out for us?
