Google is set to cut hundreds of new jobs in its device and platforms divisions soon.

The company has continued to cut its Google Pixel teams, doing so earlier this year as well.

Rival Microsoft is considering a new round of layoffs next month, per reports.

....good.

The reason people use Pixels has always been utility. The Ai garbage was like putting jelly on a biscuit.

I don't mind the jelly, personally, but I came for the biscuit, and its still there.

You can still root them, still unlock them, still use custom Roms, kernels, operating systems in some cases. They're still what they've always been.

people used pixels and nexus phones largely because the other oems were terrible at the time and riddled with carrier bloatware but that's not really the case anymore. especially once samsung did away with touchwiz and went to the modern oneui.
