  • I don’t. I love Pixels and like many of their cloud services, although I’m pissed at them for killing some of them (the usual list, you know: Inbox, greader, play music).

    And although I’m a big advocate for FOSS, I can’t see myself giving up the camera prowess by switching to something like Graphene, for example.

    But I’m well aware that I’m sharing plenty of data with them (some of which I find useful, like location history allowing me to go back in time), and that they can disable my account anytime. That’s why I’ve started doing regular Takeouts of data, and backing them up on a separate hosting provider. My Google Drive holds ALL my documents and files, so on top of keeping a local copy on my drive, I also incrementally backup the entire folder on a separate host provider everyday.














  • Here’s my experience. I had the last 3 Pros (6, 7 and now 8).

    Signal was utter crap on the 6. I fought with the modem for MONTHS, kind of forced to stay on the beta channel just to get as many modem firmware updates as early as possible.

    Even when the situation finally got a bit more stable, there were still occasional drops in signal strength and overall worse signal than other devices.

    That’s also one of the reasons I got the 7 Pro. It’s been smooth sailing since then, no complaints whatsoever. The 8 Pro is performing equally well.
