Google has a weird way of applying staggering levels of sophistication, human intelligence, and computation power to things that have no significance whatsoever and are gimmicks at best, yet leaving essential everyday apps short of mind-numbingly obvious features. In particular for this time, I will complain about their Android flight notifications.
It puts up notifications, Now cards, and various other things I can't be bothered to keep track of for any flights I reserve for myself, based on scanning my email and picking up the details automatically. That's nice and handy I suppose. The problem is that it's too dumb to figure out whether the flight is for me or not. Whenever anyone flies in to visit me, they usually email me their flight reservation, which Google dutifully picks up and treats as if it's for me. Thus I get notifications to head to the airport, in a city halfway across the country, to catch a flight to where I am right now, and more notifications about all of the details of this flight, as if I'm on it. Can't they apply a little of their precious machine learning neural network voodoo to read the fucking name on the ticket and figure out that it isn't me?
And now that I'm warmed up, speaking of completely obvious and simple features, why can't I set the phone app to not ring unless the number is in my contacts? I almost never get a call from a number not in my contacts that I actually want to answer, and that's only when I have something planned in advance, like a phone interview for a new job or something. 99.9% of them are some kind of scammer. And for the double-dumb side, it's now capable of putting up a big red warning that the incoming call that the phone is ringing for is probably spam. But it still won't do the completely obvious thing of not fucking ringing the phone if it's a known spammer calling.
