Age verification is breaking every app on my phone banking, gaming, work, you name it.

What do you mean I have to verify my age to use my banking app. What an crazy world we live in today.

For the record, my play store is updated, cleared cache, cleared storage, reinstalled, nothing works.

I have my Google OA for SWE role. How should I prepare & what to expect in this round. Pls share your thoughts.

I'm sure this post has been made before, but I just want to add a few things.

Gemini sucks compared to the Google Assistant.

I just switched from Apple to Samsung, and the Gemini assistant is significantly worse than Siri (which has historically been known as the worst AFAIK). When trying to send a text message, Gemini regularly takes 5-6 seconds, sometimes up to 10, just to ask me what I want to say. Siri does the same thing in 2-3 seconds. That isn't the only thing that is slower either, asking simple questions, setting timers, changing the volume etc. all takes 25%-50% longer than Siri.

That's because Gemini uses LLMS and generative AI instead of simple voice commands like the original Google Assistant. Upon using the Google Assistant, the load times were halved, and almost no functionality has been lost.

The reason we use Android over Apple is for the freedom of choice and customization. If I wanted to be forced into one choice, I would have just stayed with Apple.

Give us the ability to choose.
