Not just compared to Android/Google, but also the way they bundle programs in their operating systems, compared to Microsoft browser case in the US/EU.
To my untrained eyes, they're worse in almost every aspect.
Is it just the boring answer "they have better lawyers", or are there things fundamentally different?
Same situation with personal computing, Windows was like 80% of the consumer/business market when the whole browser thing took place. MacOS was something like 5%. Also I've never really heard of someone complain about Safari compared to IE/Edge so maybe there wasn't any traction for something like that
Maybe someone has a better/more accurate answer than that but thats just how I've been perceiving it.
Built it in a few hours in 2021, my girlfriend and I have a collaborative Spotify playlist, and as everyone knows Spotifys shuffle feature sucks. When on a road trip we'd constantly have the same songs play while on shuffle mode, so I built this, it basically just does a Fisher–Yates shuffle on a selected playlist and allows you to save this new order back to the playlist on Spotify (non destructive on Spotify, which unfortunately means an API call per song order change). Now no need to use Spotifys shuffle! Its worked well for us, we actually get a properly random playlist order.
Price: €0 Cost to me: Like €7 a month for a VPS than runs other stuff as well.
For me it's that Apache is the best web and proxy server, Java is the best programming language and platform, Eclipse is the best IDE and never use anything made formerly or currently by Russians including nginx and JetBrains' stuff.

The vast majority of companies are willing to hire remote, but a lot only within locations they have the legal means to do so (eg. Legal entity, contract with Deel or other company). It seemed during 2020/early 2021 people were saying it was going to be a "global job market", which in my understanding meant you could get a job in any country in the world, easy.
While it's true in my experience you can get a job in any country in the world, it's not that easy. A lot of companies do not want to hire outside areas they have a legal entity in, Eg. a company has an office in Paris, they'll hire remotely anywhere in France, but good luck if you're based in Spain.
Companies that will hire most anywhere are far and few between, and generally from what I've seen are smaller, startup/small business sized companies.
Take the above with a pinch of salt as that is purely my own experience, and could be bias based on what I was looking for.
I was gifted a Mobvoi TicWatch 3 GPS and it works well with my Pixel 2. It's my first watch in decades, let alone smart. It's been paramount in my efforts to fight back the gluttony and sedintary lifestyle that snuck in with full-time WFH.
I like the integration with Fit, Maps, and I don't pick my phone up and get distracted along the way just to reply to a few messages. Google Assistant works well. Can take my calls while in the pool with it.
Best gift I didn't know I wanted in a long time.
Your results may vary, I am a simple man.
Have you had the same experience with the Pro 3? I'd be interesting in upgrading if it was better.
