Pretty sure the bar goes away when you don’t use Phone Link! I use Phone Link, as you should too assuming you own a phone. I like it because that + the iCloud app basically brings feature parity to my Macs built-in Phone integrations. The simping over Windows is bizarre, it’s like you guys are pissed that Windows 2000 isn’t still supported, come join us in the 21st century please. “Any feature I don’t personally use is pointless and bloat” is a childs argument.

You can see your phones status and recent messages from the start menu now! More start menu icons are exposed in the space they’ve added an organization mechanism. I think the point is to improve its usefulness

I genuinely don’t understand what more people could want in a start menu, just needlessly against all forward momentum and change?

I like the Phone Companion bar too. The folder grid is reminiscent of Windows 8 and is a nod to iOS… I guess haters gonna hate, but this seems like a nice improvement.

Comparing it to a Shield or Apple TV it’s clear how weak it was. In fairness, seems like they could just sell both but of course it’s important that Google have a performant offering

I’d rather my TV run smoothly, crippling performance to save $40 is not something I’m interested in, personally.

So dramatic, it looks like a decent upgrade! The last device was laggy anyways

For accuracy, flip Windows and Mac in that diagram

Agreed, we need to get the Secret Service to clean up their act before we end up risking the life of some better President!

People push back against Trump on a near constant basis, pointing out Biden’s flaws isn’t an endorsement of Trump.
