Android’s stock backup misses a lot of things, apps can opt-out and many do, it also doesn’t backup files or documents or photos. Photos are “backed up” if you enable Google Photos cloud sync, but that’s separate. It basically just backs up your phone calls/SMS, system settings and what apps you have installed (but not their data unless they tie into the backup APIs).

Still waiting for an OTA image to fix the boot loop. Or, an admission from Google that users data is lost.

Except for those who had the issue and rebooted their phone and it’s stuck at “pixel is starting…”. This update doesn’t fix the issue for those devices. They are still working on it, possibly.

They said that, but I couldn’t find the fix in their github repository. Does anyone know the commit that fixes this bug? It would help shed light on the technical details of the issue.

Brother laser printers are great. As long as you get one that supports Postscript (Brother calls this BR-Script), PCL5 or PCL6. You can see this under the “emulations” printing specs on a printer model page. PostScript and PCL both have fully open source implementations so you’ll usually be able to just use built-in CUPS gutenprint or foomatic drivers. I also recommend ethernet (wired or wireless) and not usb.

Do not get one that only says “GDI” emulations which is Windows based and can be really painful to deal with.
