For me on many phones over the years the arrow in Google Maps never points into the direction of travel.

Although GMaps at some point integrated some of Waze warnings, Waze offers more and not just speed cameras others mentioned. Broken down car streetside, btw.

if you’re going by car or train it’s good.

Goole’s far superior car navigation app is Waze.

I use comaps which is offline open street maps, generally better but can still be lacking.

Nothing is ever perfect and the quality also depends how active the OSM community is. In general Komoot is the common person’s way to access OSM data.

This is something you can do?

Yeah, basically by claiming libel.

You don’t need to be part of a real community to know this. Google Maps is good to check opening hours and how many reviews an establishment deleted, not for actually getting anywhere.

Here’s the original article instead of Yahoo blogspam:

Two minutes after I posted this, Doc 65 - Final Race Classification had been published: https://www.fia.com/system/files/decision-document/2026_belgian_grand_prix_-_final_race_classification.pdf

According to the commentators after they were looking into the rules said, an unsafe release during a race results in time or drive through penalty, not just a fine.

Google is no longer supporting new Pixel phones in AOSP. The days of custom ROMs just working on Pixels is over. Consider getting Fairphone if custom ROMs are a must have for you.

It’s a misleading headline. They aren’t installing the app on your phone. They’ll preinstall it on phones in the factory before they’re sold.

If that hacker only knew about tracking by Windows…

Path finding in video games is also AI.

the S27 Ultra/Pro next year sounds like it’s shaping up to be a far more interesting device compared to any of the phones they released in the last few years.

After reading this I googled it and what I read didn’t sound super exciting. Just the regular spec bump and I’m skeptical of the reported RAM increase. Wouldn’t be surprised if they cut RAM like everybody else. So unless you want a Ultra level model in a base level enclosure, I don’t see what the “far more interesting device” is.

I could get somewhat excited if someone made a Xperia Play type phone with a full FEX-enabled Steam client.

AI isn’t a tool, it’s an umbrella term applied to countless individual tools. Just a couple of years ago automated language translation wasn’t AI. Now it is for whatever reason.

I like mine. Can’t speak how much changed in recent generations because it’s my first new phone in 4 years. Other than deleting Chrome and switching browsers to Iceraven and the launcher to Lawnchair as well as the keyboard to Gboard, I don’t think I customized much. Slight tweaks here and there but for the most part I was pretty content with the defaults which is rare for me. In the past I may have been shocked by crap on new phones I needed to get rid of but I actually think most Samsung modifications to Android are pretty good and I often prefer the Samsung feature to whatever the Google counterpart is.

I use that sidebar they have a lot. That AI Select thing is great and I set all Galaxy AI stuff to be on device. The only thing I dislike about AI Select is that a recognized song can only be played through Spotify which I don’t use.

I cannot speak for the entire range of devices out there but if a line of products is unobtrusively good for a long time, it surely retents its user base.

Yeah clockwise from which side?

From the side illustrated by the graphic in the article.

Sounds a bit like turning F1 into LMP2.
