Google lays off hundreds in Assistant, hardware, engineering teams::undefined
And they announced this morning some pretty significant feature rollbacks: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/13971691?visit_id=638405848924404696-2744922006&p=assistant_is_changing&rd=1
Calls made from speakers and Smart Displays will not show up with a caller ID unless you’re using Duo.
Is it possible to use Duo still? Google knows it discontinued/merged Duo with Google Meet nearly 18 months ago, right?
The commute to work on smart screens going away is a headscratcher. How complicated could it be?
Also most wear os phones do not support Google assistant since the new generation
Using your voice to send an email, video or audio message. You can still make calls and send text messages.
You could never make calls. I remember trying to find my phone by asking Google to call it and it just saying “calling xyz”. Never rang, not while I was using a Google voice number, not on Google Fi, not on T-Mobile/mint.
Also, didn’t see anything about asking the assistant on the living room something and the device in the bedroom answering and vice-versa. Not sure how something so simple could be messed up. We kind of gave up on using it due to that, it isn’t even good enough to Google a question any longer.
Seems like mine magically started working one day for calling. Don’t need or want that function though.
Jesus fucking Christ stop flooding the goddamn job market with geniuses. I can’t even hold down a job because I can’t solve shit fast enough, I don’t need to fight people better than me for basic ass jobs to feed my family
