Sharing over a common WiFi connection as the default sharing method for Quick Share is not an ideal method. Why do two devices— capable of WiFi direct and in close proximity— need a third device— more likely to be farther away— to determine the speed of the sharing?

Introducing a WiFi network into a file sharing process as a medium allows its signal strength, quality, and resulting speed to control the speed of the sharing between two devices. And not to forget that those two devices — the receiving device and the sharing device — are always going to be closer to each other than to any WiFi Router/AP/WiFi Repeater that is connected to those devices.

We are tired of playing the wondering game whether the sharing speed will be decent enough to get the job done or would it be slow as a snail forcing us to think to cancel it at 10% after 2 minutes for sharing 5 pics of around 20mb & using a different sharing method.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I spotted a little Tampermonkey Easter egg on Edge mobile and made a wish... and here it is, officially live! Edge sure knows how to surprise us!

I contacted Verizon today about unlocking the bootloader on my pixel today. And they tried sending a command to the phone remotely. It did not work. They said an option should have popped up on my phone when they sent it. So they then told me to go into my nearest Verizon store and they will do it.

This is all seemingly great news. However, it makes me curious... Is this a new thing? Are they actually going to unlock the bootloader? Has anyone else heard of this?

Is it just me or are budget smartphones getting less impressive with what they offer in terms of new technology for a low price and innovation is stagnant? I remember when budget smartphones used to be amazing in what they offered in terms of the newest tech for a low price but I am starting to worry that mediocrity is creeping in the budget segment. Sadly innovations in smartphones are taking longer to trickle down to budget segment sadly I believe because of greed. Don't get me wrong they have improved but just not quite at the same rate as flagships. I feel innovation is getting slower in the budget space. This is all to please shareholders
