P6P here had it since day one. My battery is not in the best shape, but not terrible either.
I just charge when it’s needed and adaptive charging has done a pretty good job of keeping the battery healthy.
Overall though at the end of the day I’m not sure there’s too much we as the user have control over.
Amazing in 2023 people still referencing that 30 year old battery University article.
And liquid screen protector with a physical screen protector? C’mon my guy it’s just a phone.
It is interesting that the price has already dropped on the P8 and is expected to continue to drop thru black Friday.
This is precisely why I never buy new anymore, having been burned by two previous Pixel releases in the past.
This chip situation doesn’t bode well for my continued Pixel use however.
Software is important but it isn’t everything, and like the article said raw horsepower does matter. For me. The most important things are battery, life display brightness, and cellular connectivity - something my pixel 6 Pro objectively fails at on all three fronts.
Combine that with all of the data theft that Google software utilizes, and I think I’m pretty much done.
Well you got 15 words or so in before mentioning Linux.
Well, the idea is that there are “levels” to being sick. In CA this shit would never fly.
I don’t even like calling it “sick” I call out for the day, period. I’m not calling in sick or calling in hung over or calling in for family reasons, I’m fucking NOT AVAILABLE for today.
This is the bullshit that wfh has brought and of course not all companies are doing this.
Fun fact: Google has to pay royalties to Windsor Castle since they had a Keep product first.
That’s what my company did and it feels a bit odd. Like we have no “home” now.
You actually touched on something that really pisses me off about my 100% work from home job.
It’s the fact that my boss can somehow justify that you roll yourself out of bed and log in. He literally uses the phrase sometimes “too sick to log in?” As a means of discouragement from calling out sick, or at the very least get some productivity out of you while you’re sick.
Name a job that would try this shit in real life? When you’ve called out you’ve called out, it doesn’t mean reduced workload because you’re sick ffs.
This is an interesting idea. I am 100% work from home and I can tell you all that it’s not all roses.
I have zero work friends, hell I’ve never met over 75% of them in real life. There is very little room for networking and skills building because I’m in my spare bedroom all the time. I’m glad I’m a little older but if I weren’t this would be a career killer in some regards.
I have to think about what I’m going to eat every single day (no running off for lunch) and I’m expected to be on camera during our meetings.
I have zero commute, but that just means I hardly get a chance to ride my motorcycle anymore.
I’ve gone over my internet cap once, and because we’re at home, the AC or the heat or whatever needs to be ran 100% of the time I’m telling you it’s not all roses.
Only thing I’ve been paying for since 2012 has been a VPN. Problem solved.
For those who are interested - a film called The Vanishing (2018) puts forth a hypothetical scenario about this event starring Gerard Butler.
Loveless, godless, jobless, rudderless. Feel bad for your generation.
Because people have a different opinion than you, you feel “bad” for me? Well I don’t feel a bit bad for you.

Wikipedia is nefarious as fuck and nobody should trust it.
Sounds like an unnecessarily dick move.

This is why
The long and short of it - Google search was designed at a time when the web was in its infancy. Basically just text and a few images.
Fast forward to today, and reddit is the only one that still allows its data to be crawled.
As media has become more social (basically all of it) the walled gardens prevent you from even viewing content without an account.
Every platform wants you to be searching inside their service.
Google is useless.
