Google is apparently now untrustworthy and telling on themselves because they made a 7 year update promise and want Pro and non-Pro Pixel 8 phones.

    The Pixel hasn’t left the house since 2018. All it has done since then is run SyncThing and upload the photos/videos taken by my current phones.

      Maybe will consider doing that on my Poco F1 (which is spoofed as a Pixel XL) once I get a new daily driver

      I’ve never heard of Syncthings, could you tell me more about it? Sounds interesting!

        It’s a free app that syncs files to a central location. In my case, I sync any photo or video I take on my Pixel 7 to my Pixel 1. The Photos app on my Pixel 1 then uploads the new photos to Google Photos.

          Really cool! Apart from the photos ending in Google photos, I thought you’d use a local backup or something :-)

            What’s the point of syncing with an OG pixel with unlimited free Google storage if you are not using it?

          So they don’t check the metadata to verify the phone who actually took the picture?
