It's a mid-end tablet without oled display! It will remain on their shelves!

Well I gotta admit the tablet experience they are going for is the best I've seen. It's a household device.

[@gadget00]

they took the best ideas from Amazon Echo and the iPad and put them together, at a loss price just to gain marketshare. It looks promising; I hope they can make tools for developers to really make 'tablet apps' because if they didn't, this is dead on arrival

I can't stand with that bezel, maybe the pixel fold 2

[@EdwardRicketts1]

​@@linusmlgtips2123 I think they've just followed their existing design language so it doesn't look out of place with other Nest home products. I don't think they're expecting people to have one in every room, but they might have the smaller ones in most rooms, for example.

[@davidthompson2237]

Apart from the tensor g2, these are nice products. Hopefully tensor g3 is a sizeable upgrade in performance and efficiency, especially efficiency

[@superiortoall22]

It’ll have to be Snapdragon modem rather than Exynos in which case, that means price increases for the phones since Exynos was used to circumvent taxes in various countries.

[@beast_officiial]

Its gonna be on samsung 3nm process

[@sahilkumar3866]

And optimization

[@freddybell8328]

Tensor G2 is perfectly fine.

[@TheNomadicTrader]

I work for them and use G2 chips in my phones daily, they're perfectly capable of performing very highly with great efficiency - if you're talking about running benchmark programs for points, then we're not interested in playing those games. We'll stick with enriching peoples lives with useful application of technology ;-)

[@freddybell8328]

[@handlemonium]

And it's not just OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Apple. Independent open-souce devs are up there with the big boys as well. Hopefully we won't have to deal with "black box" AI. Maybe sentient AI will become the driving force behind blockchain, crypto and the "Web3 economy" while we mere mortal humans will just tag along for the ride. Hopefully we can coexist though and not try to snuff out each other's existence 🤞

I've watched the full event and it's funny to see the verge reordering the original presented topics to bring the hardware first as they had been shown at the end of the keynote

[@michaelgarvey2148]

i am the opposite , i have been a google / pixel user for a decade , i have no hate for apple but they are falling behind with stuff like siri & not adopting RCS , we as consumers / users want partnerships that improve the cross platform experience .

[@manosioa]

@@michaelgarvey2148 agreed! Siri is just a joke. She’s always “hmm?” When I don’t even need her and when I do she can’t even do the basics well enough. Apple should work with Google and carriers for the RCS protocol and make it encrypted and versatile. They’re just being Apple.

They are find the way they are, unfortunately Google has this tendency to support and let go, even RCS is a risk

[@polisigadget]

Ain't gonna happen bro RCS doesn't really work outside the US, rest of the world are using WhatsApp or other chat apps so Apple maybe will not consider it as an alternative solution for green and blue bubble problem

[@magic_fruit_bat5003]

And Apple whispered…"no"

[@Dominic_J]

What message should Apple get? RCS isn’t a universal standard, hell not even half of all android users use it. How is this even an Apple issue? iMessage has been around since 2011 but Google only just started adopting RCS in 2019 and it's somehow Apple's fault. Google is only pushing for this because iMessage has a stranglehold on the US market. Where was this concern for the past 8 years and the countless messaging apps Google has created and killed?

[@LuisJimenezV]

The Google maps bike mode flyover is neat. However...two small things would also be neat: 1) if Google maps in bike mode were slightly less homicidal. 2) if when I spend half-an-hour hand tuning a route on my computer, that work wasn't completely discarded when I send the map to my phone.

First thing that stood out to me when they showed the tablet was...bezels. xD Oh well, maybe next generation. That said, the mount-dock looks great and turning it into a makeshift nest hub seems like a very neat feature! I am still very vary of giving Google more data when working with AI... but still, this is a great step forward. Looking forward to what the modern day AI wars are going to produce in the long run.

[@sodapone]

Given that the standard they should be compared to are the home button-less iPads and their thick but symmetrical bezels, I think the bezels are completely acceptable. Hell, I think they're better that way since that means you can get a better grip on the tablet without risking misinputs on the touchscreen.
