Yeah it’s absolutely awful. I haven’t checked out the trade-in pricing. I haven’t ever tried that before, I was considering trading in my pixel 8, but I like having a spare in case something happens to my main phone and it needs to be repaired.
But yes, I agree it is a bad look.
Agreed. I desperately wanted a Pixel phone with 1TB, when I saw that not only is the Pro available in a normal size model this year, BUT with a 1TB option I got excited…until I saw that it adds $500 to the base price of the phone, bringing it to a whopping $1499.
I’m gonna wait and see what the pricing looks like on Black Friday. I was originally wanting to keep my Pixel 8 until support ran out, but I’m already over half full on my 256gb, and my screen is having the green screen issues. I know I can get it warrantied, but the 1tb normal sized Pro is just a tempting option.
Oh man, check his profile on printables. He’s got a 500 cig adapter. Man has designed the route to speed run cancer acquisition.
Agreed, I also miss the feature of being able to extend a screenshot on a page.
But uBO is a necessity now to browse the Internet. The ads are so bad now.
I used to do car electronics installs for a living. The amount of firearms I’d find was staggering.
Many times where we needed to get to/behind the glovebox, or remove the center console (which usually requires pulling every item being stored in it before removal), and we’d just find the handgun sitting right there. Had one where the client dropped off their vehicle and the gun was laying right on the floorboard.
Not firearm related, but I had a little old lady come in one time, wanted to get a radio done. Went to remove her center console so we could install an aftermarket USB in the factory USB location (adapter didn’t work with carplay too well) and I found a rusted ice pick in the center console. She was definitely ready to make someone’s day worse.
The Maverick is (comparatively) a small modern pickup. It’s the whole reason I chose it. I always wanted a truck, but I absolutely detested how big and inefficient they were, so I never bothered. I had a Maverick come in for a remote start last year and got to look at it and I quite liked it, ended up ordering one of my own that same year.
My favorite games as a child growing up in the 90s:
Zelda OoT
Super Mario 64
Pokemon Red
Zelda OoA/OoS
Though after later playing Final Fantasy 7 in 2003 that quickly captivated me and became really special to me. It was my first Final Fantasy I ever played and one of my most cherished games to this day.
Also, while I never played the original 90s game, I absolutely adored Black Mesa and the Half Life franchise. It was damn impressive what Valve accomplished with the original Half Life back then.
Not OP, but you tend to see these kinds of shenanigans from phones that are locked to carriers, the carriers are the ones who end up pushing the apps onto the phone during an update.
Sprint was pretty bad with their bloat ware back in the day, when I made the switch from my Sprint-locked S6 to my unlocked Pixel 1, I never had that problem again.
My mom and dad have unlocked S22’s and they don’t have these issues as far as I’m aware. I know if my dad did he would have complained about it.
It depends on the bot, but yeah I’ve tried this a couple times that I was frustrated.
The second I said “put a fucking human on,” the bot immediately responded with “let me get someone for you.”
Doesn’t always work, I’ve had some that just said “I don’t understand.”
Yeah my mom convinced me to trade-in my 8 and just get the Pro model.
I have/had a 6, but the battery became extra spicy and I haven’t gotten around to getting a replacement.
My Pixel 2 is still happily kicking though, no swelling and still turns on. Though the battery doesn’t last long at all.
They quoted like $450-$490 for my Pixel 8, but I imagine it’s going to be even less as the screen is still flashing green. Even though they’re doing warranty replacements on the P8 because of that, I’m betting they’re going to use it as an excuse to slash the value off the trade-in.
