“How does the Google Pixel Watch 2 compare to its big brother?”
Google Pixel Watch is Big Brother.
“Google Tensor G3 upholds Google’s commitment to privacy and security”
The whole article reads like a Google ad as usual on this site but that sentence is the last drop to discredit it.
“It incorporates the Tensor security core and collaborates with the Titan M2 security chip, bolstering Pixel’s resilience against sophisticated attacks”
“Furthermore, advancements in machine learning enable Face Unlock on Pixel 8 to meet the highest Android biometric standards, making it suitable for banking app sign-ins and payment apps.”
And it gets worse when you detail what you mean (well, what the original Google source that you copied meant I guess). First, implying that of course on Google devices Google and its world is not the main privacy threat, it would be instead those evil people who want to hack it without Google’s permission.
Second, presenting biometrics as a privacy benefit.
Another example of Mozilla preferring to side with Google against law makers, this time even after a pro-user anti-Google law has been voted: their insistence to break european privacy laws by embedding Google Analytics and other trackers in their browser, in spite of courts finally starting to bite companies using it with fines. I guess Mozcorp is ready to be the last company to drop it. The Moz head is a lawyer, I heard, so she can’t ignore that. But she also can’t ignore exactly how long they will have impunity for doing that, which has to be her added value justifying her astronomic salary from donations.
What is funny is that this Google dump that Mozilla is that pretends to be on the side of the users against whatever they consider has power, in addition to of course systematically betraying us to please Google or its own in-house ad and tracking people, talks in defense of Google every time even the Department of Justice (not the most progressive people one can think of, to say the least) tries to go after them for power abuse, by pretending that Google deserves to stick their search engine nose by force in every possible place because they are sooo much better than all other search engines in existence, according to Mozilla at least. They don’t even stop a second to talk about privacy and censorship issues, in fact not really mentioning why it’s supposed to be so good. That’s the power of receiving about half a billion dollars yearly from Google. Maybe Google should pay the DoJ people more ?
Chrome is owned by Google, Firefox also in practice with the above mentioned search deal, Apple gets billions from Google from the search deal, even smaller browsers that are supposed to be more ethical almost all have a search deal that demonstrably influenced them negatively already against their users: DDG with their own engine (like Google with Chrome, they are a search engine before making a browser only to carry it by default for free), Waterfox with Microsoft Bing and Startpage, Pale Moon has some deal too, Brave is an ad platform that launched its own search engine too… Even the obscure linux fork will be corrupted to insert ad whitelistings for search engine sites. And that’s the least of how bad they are influenced, the list would take pages and would probably end removed from comments as a conspiracy theory.
Search deals are a cancer and not just from Google. If someone pays to be the default search, it should be avoided.
Google is raising the bar for Chromebooks
—————–
$400 for not even a real computer, dang. For $400 I could put together maybe close to half a dozen (maybe more) Dell Optiplex systems that would be much better for nearly everything you can imagine – sure, no laptop form factor, but man, what a waste.
And another article that is more press release than anything else.
> Impressive battery life
24 hours are impressive for you? Really? Yes, it’s more than the first Google smartwatch. But it’s still a short battery life. My current smartwatch works for at least ten days (!) with one charge. It may not be possible with Wear OS. But let’s talk about an “impressive battery life” if there are at least three full days with a Wear OS based smartwatch…
Why is $399 ‘unbeatable’?
No, AltaVista’s Search engine wasn’t difficult to use in the mid-nineties, and Yahoo didn’t own AltaVista either during the 1990s. Yahoo!, was a Web Directory. I was alive then and have actually used those engines, during that era, I should know if they were easy to use. So tell the angels what you’ve seen, scarecrow shadow on the Nazarene.
“Google launched Chromebooks in 2012 as low-cost devices and the company has had great success in the education world, especially in the United States.”
Happy tracking for all those unsuspecting children. And help normalize surveillance for those young brains. Well done Google.
What is there to support? It just a glorified web browser.
“Google increases Chromebook support to 10 years”
I mean that’s great and all, but imagine using a browser-based, highly internet-dependent OS such as chrome. I’ve never used chromeOS but have seen it in person and read about it, just seems like ultra-limited user experience which relies on the concept that “most things can be done in a browser”.
“Google maintains that it provides a superior product”
That is also Mozilla’s official position in defense of Google against the people, on that question of search engine abuse of dominant position by Google.
The funniest part is that not only it’s false regarding actual competitors, but even among not-actual-competitors there are meta-search engines that use exactly the same engine, just minus the tracking, so Google is clearly the inferior one compared to those already. But maybe what Google is saying is that it is the surveillance and bubbling that would make their engine superior. False again even without considering the damage those do.
Wage should be based on the amount of time, works, thinking (brain > muscle), responsibilities etc
Not skin pigmentation or your genitalia. There could be correlations, but not causations.
Misleading statistics.
This “analysis” is disappointingly shallow and trivial. Why not include other factors like job level, responsibilities, full-time/part-time, qualifications, etc.? Because the conclusions probably wouldn’t fit the current leftist/feminist narrative. You don’t find what you don’t look for.
Google is the big leader of everything. Indeed it can actually buy Amazon, Disney, Netflix, X and whatever other company. I wonder what could happen if Google starts to build airspace ships in order to conquer the Moon. I bet that Google would be the first to offer free WiFi at the Moon. Please fix the comments.

Page source shows that ghacks is still using WordPress as the platform. Knowing, more or less, how it works at the DB level I am not sure how one could mess up comments this badly. It is actually very difficult.
I despise YouTube Shorts. So much in fact, I use custom adblock rules in Brave Shields to remove that crap.
youtube.com##ytd-grid-video-renderer:has([href*=”shorts”])
youtube.com###dismissible:has([href*=”shorts”])
There’s an extension for Firefox and Chrome browsers called “Youtube-shorts block”, re-opens the video in a normal window. :)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-shorts-block/
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-shorts-block/jiaopdjbehhjgokpphdfgmapkobbnmjp
ps. say NO to Shorts, it only encourage shooting vertical-videos which doesn’t go well with many desktop displays… except when shooting vertical objects, such as ahem… pretty ladies. :)
Sometimes the ahem … pretty ladies are horizontal :-P
Given Ghacks’ comments’ database problems I precise :
I’m commenting the article “Google is in trouble with YouTube Shorts – gHacks Tech News” by Emre Çitak

About the article’s question, “What do you think about YouTube Shorts?” (BTW first time I read here any other writer other than Martin Brinkmann directly asks the audience it’s opinion, and that’s just fine) :
YouTube Shorts may suit smartphones (which I don’t use) but on a PC they are not my cup of tea, to put it mildly.
From what I read a bit everywhere, opinions are shared : love or hate. For those who dislike many scripts and dedicated browser extensions have been developed to handle them (removal or redirect to standard video display).
I don’ view YouTube videos on YouTube but via a Piped or a Piped-Material YouTube front-end instance and these offer on search results and on channels the option to view Videos-Shorts-Livestreams-Playlists-Channels ; well, I practically never open the ‘Shorts’ display. I don’t like shorts (except in summer, hmm), I dislike the concept, fast-videos after fast-food, fast, faster … to bring what? Emptiness, IMO
Does that answer your question, @Emre Çitak :)
Anyone who continues to use these big tech scum’s cloud services deserves what they get.
Thanks @Ashwin for the article! :]
This info is so NOT correct.
I so do not want google in my life that I have NEVER downloaded chrome and I do NOT have ANY google accounts.
My browser is set to clear all cookies, cache and history every time I close it, which is every day, and I still get these world takeover login prompts on every site I go to.
So I CANT go to google accounts and turn it off.
If this info were truly accurate I wouldnt be getting these pop ups AT ALL.
goog = skynet
“human beings” = \slaves\
“When searched “Why guns are good,” it also prompted questionable responses, including potentially questionable statistics and reasoning. ”
Based on whose reasoning? These sorts of assertions are generally bullcrap intended to advance an agenda. If you don’t like guns, say so. Meanwhile, there are 400 million firearms in the US owned by close to a third of the population and around 20 million carry concealed.
So your opinion is not shared by a LOT of people who either enjoy firearm spots or are concerned about self-defense or both.
Wow. Ghacks still hasn’t fixed the broken comments system where old comments from a different article appear. Sad to see you slowly turn to dust since the buyout.
This guns comment came up in the Pixel watch repair post and I was bewildered as to what was the connection between the two.
@Seeprime,
For over two weeks now,
I’ve been seeing “Comments” posted by subscribers appearing in different, unrelated articles.

For the time being,
it would be better to specify the “article name and URL” at the beginning of the post.
How to use AI: Avoid the artificial stupidity at all times.
I have yet to be impressed with AI of any kind. I think it’s overhyped and not ready to live up to it.
The article said: “[…] positive outcomes of genocide…”. Perhaps the AI was actually discussing the benefits of reading a “Scroll of genocide” … “You feel dead inside.”.
Martin, this post reply is supposed to belong: [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/22/googles-ai-search-generates-horribly-misleading-answers/] (given the the database is faulty it could appear anywhere or nowhere).
In reply to “https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/19/google-keep-is-getting-a-version-history-but-only-on-the-web/” since the website has gone insane and no one can know where thier comment ends up.
This app should be called “Google Keeps it”. Because, they do.
I use Color Notes. No syncing, no internet, just local.
I delete the photos after 1 month of being taken. All of them are erased to return to the black and silent nothingness. Only the best ones are printed and placed in a very nice site at home. :]
I should buy a Chromebook.
None of the big tech companies are good but at least Google are the least dishonest and morally bankrupt of them. They’re always trying to do the right thing if the money allow it.
“Do you use Google Photos?”
I do; I find it impossible not to use Google Photos on the Android phone; nevertheless, the “memory” feature is sort of neat. I’ve seen photos from a couple of years ago that that offer glimpses into the long-ago, forgotten past. It’s a lot like reviewing journal writing. “What was I doing and such and such a date?”
And, I think, when the “memories” are sorted and positioned, one can create a mini-collage with up to eight photos.
It’s so much easier to share photos with people rather than journal entries.
Nifty!
