Anybody find a good tempered glass screen protector for the Pixel 2? The Google store sells one for $40 which is steep (and currently out of stock) and all the others I've seen are off brand and cheap.
The off brand one I bought already cracked on me...

Google sent me a free Home Mini because I bought a Pixel 2.
...i imagine it's not good enough quality to use for music. if it works the same as my phone, why would I not just use my phone?
Should I sell this thing or try to take it to best buy for store credit before i open it?
hello wiretap?
- Imho, sell it. Sell it now.detritus
- I’d be getting suspicious if I got something for free from google. bury it in the backyard.pressplay
- wait a minute... almost every service from google is for free. I got to bury myself now...pressplay
- Got one too, if you're into the whole voice interface thing it's neat. You can have fun with it if you have a nest or a chromecast... I sometimes ask it tozarkonite
- google stuff, not terribly useful... yet.zarkonite
- it's designed to listen better than your phone, especially in an open area like your livingroom ... you don't need to be very close to it like with the phonemonospaced
- Best buy said I couldn't exchange it for store credit. ...jerks!sarahfailin
- give as a bday gift to someoneGnash
- ^best idea so far.sarahfailin
- ...someone you don't like.detritus
- if you own a phone you're already wiretapped. mess around with what it can do!scarabin
- i use those shits err'dayscarabin

Fucking Google.

No?
IT'S THE SAME FUCKING COMPUTER ON THE SAME STATIC IP, FROM THE SAME EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN USING EVERY FUCKING DAY FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, YOU FUCKING STUPID PIECE OF SHIT.
Thing is, I don't for one second believe you're that stupid and have somehow forgot, so why do you put me through this rigmarole every 4 months or so?

GOOGLE’S SELFISH LEDGER...
This internal video from 2016 shows a Google concept for how total data collection could reshape society
The video was made in late 2016 by Nick Foster, the head of design at X (formerly Google X), and a co-founder of the Near Future Laboratory. The video, shared internally within Google, imagines a future of total data collection, where Google helps nudge users into alignment with their goals, custom-prints personalized devices to collect more data, and even guides the behavior of entire populations to solve global problems like poverty and disease.

I've often accused Google of being duplicitously stupid on here, for presumed nefarious purposes I can't quite work out.
Now I'm just thinking it's fucking stupid.
I've just noticed a wee thing at the bottom of my Google Search results that states my location, at least as best as Google can work it out.
Now, bear in mind I've many times confirmed my login on this computer, at this address for the last at least two years continually now - London, England. I can understand perhaps a little confusion arising from broad-area IP geo-location, and have in the past seen my position as a satellite town about 15 miles away. Not great, but understandable.
Now, for some reason, Google is confinced I am in fact in Pitlochry, a small town in the heart of Scotland I once ivisited when I was 9. It's 470-odd miles away.
I have never expressed any interest in Pitlochry or much else of Scotland beyond the cities and the occasional family house via Google, so I've no idea what the stupid fucking thing's thinking.
I really need to start using Bing. At least I expect fuck-all from Microsoft, so could rarely be disappointed... .
- Why does this bother you?face_melter
- Why in turn does my irritation bother you? I've catalogued my ire with G here already - this is just the cherry that makes me wonder if it's simply crap.detritus
- G touts itself as being some AI-driving wunderkind that can sort out our lives for us. If it can't work out wtf I am based on x years use, then it's just crap.detritus
- Whenever location services are enabled it doesn’t seem to have any issues that I’ve seen. I imagine they can pinpoint most people yikes.monospaced
- Detritus still thinks he's living in london with his make believe girlfriend, bless him. YOU'RE IN A HOME IN PITLOCHRY. YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR 2 YEARS, REMEMBER?********
- I just learned golf apps can find your location accurately enough to tell you how many feet you are on the course from the hole. Kinda cool, kinda creepyformed

Google is shutting down its beleaguered Google+ social network after it discovered a software bug in March that gave third-parties access to private user data, the company writes in a blog post.
- oh ... THAT's the reason? I suppose it had nothing to do with the fact nobody used it thenmonospaced
- great attempt at a Facebook alternative though, keep trying.fadein11
- i loved it. less poisonous than facebook and twitter but never used it.Hayoth
- i wanted it to be great. it was not.sarahfailin
- but it's interlinked with your youtube channel / user account. How's that gonna play out?shapesalad
- ^ They just have to eliminate that column and run a migration, nerd.Maaku
- no, I mean currently to change your youtube user name - you go to go to your google+ account and change it there. As it's linked.shapesalad
- Good riddance. Google+ sucked.NBQ00
- @shape - you go to google accounts to change info/passwords, it's not google+fadein11
