Some chromebooks can be flashed with seabios and no longer nag you about developer mode, and happily boot linux (or windows even)
+1 to this, SeaBIOS is great!
> That's funny since the Pixel 6 has had so many people complaining about various bugs.
Like what?
* Buggy pull down brightness switcher.
* Buggy do not disturb mode
* Camera app bugs out when taking photos, random frame drops in video recordings.
* Sharing menus - slow, suggestions are poor.
* broken launcher + third-party launcher support.
* buggy compass calibration
* buggy 911 support
The worst offender recently in my opinion is Spotify on desktop.
It used to be that when you clicked on an artists page you would see all the music tracks listed. Now it's all buried deep in and you have to search through the individual albums. Even the list of albums itself is not shown on the main artist page, you have to click "See Discography" first.
The "Home" page is even worse. Where is my discover weekly playlist? Sometimes it's near the top, sometimes it's in this "Made for you" section. Sometimes you have to click "See All" next to that to find it.
I mean moving shit around when you update your software is bad enough. Spotify moves shit around every time you boot the app!
Oh my goodness, you are so right. Every new Spotify update is a freaking disaster. Makes me want to unsubscribe!

That's a pretty ignorant comment. CRTC has done a lot to protect content in Canada. A lot of which happens behind the scenes.
Meh, CRTC has a lot more good to do before we can forgive them for enabling the telecoms to keep robing Canadians, with most expensive prices per gigabyte in the whole world.

This is indeed good news! I am excited for a new name and hopefully more resources put into making the client better and on par or even better than Slack
