Does anybody else find it weird that whenever you have a voice over, be it satnav, Bluetooth speakers, promotional videos (of European companies!), etc. they almost always have American accents? Even before the whole buy European movement took off I found this weird, especially since British or Irish accents are way nicer to listen to in my opinion.

      I mostly use OSM but the other day my wife had to find something and she only knows how to use Google Maps. She’s a software developer, by the way 🙄

      Annoying though that the Google Pixel is said to be one of the most privacy-friendly… i don’t trust it, but why is that even said?

        Because it’s one of the most easily rootable phones and the only one supported by Graphene OS, which is an alternative android considered by most as the gold standard for privacy.
