Saw them here in Michigan at pine knob amphitheater. It was insane.

That google play HTC m8 was chefs kiss, I also loved the m8 for windows.

This guy gets it. No need to gatekeep either way you let it hang.

I’m in an interesting camp because I mainly reside in apple land, except for my desktop and tablet. I have the galaxy tab s7 plus and that thing is all I could ask for out of a tablet. As a media consumption device it does one thing well and that’s emulation. I love using an 8bitdo controller with it too.

Sadly this is how I feel too.

I assume they can do this and I think they plan on something like it (pretty sure I heard this from Mishaal Rahman on a podcast). But yeah the way pixel devices come apart is way more granular which is a good thing but can end up in more issues from things breaking. Google doesn’t have the best rack record with build quality unfortunately.

I’d like to piggy back in this. I worked for Asurion and Assurant Both are authorized for Google in warranty and insurance repairs. They have to have your device factory reset. Google claims this is a security measure which it is to a degree but it’s mostly because the pixel diagnostic suite requires full access to the biometrics on the device.

I didn’t know they still locked this feature behind a payment, it’s scummy they can also tell you how much data you can use this way too. I remember there being a program that tunneled the stats a certain way to bypass it but you had to use usb or Bluetooth PAN. I think it was called easy tether.

The watch has a great size and screen to start with. The main demerits are the poor battery life and locking features behind a paywall. There are features provided with similar products like the Apple Watch that are locked behind a fit bit subscription.

You’re right about the vagueness. I didn’t want to spill about it unless someone wanted the details. Which would you like to know about the watch or the phone?

I’d say it’s not worth it unless it’s super cheap. I have one I bought at full price that has been in its box since I bought it. Used it for one week to really give it a go. The issues I had with it in combination with the pixel 6 I also don’t use anymore are the reason I am losing faith in Google’s vision of Android hardware.

I worked for Asurion and they are a bunch of crooks. Charging people to reload a factory image on their device. I used to do it for free anyway and give away back glasses with screen repairs.

I’m really interested in the tab s9 series. Anything stand out to you such as performance or screen quality? I really want to get another Android tablet to replace my old tab s6 but I really want something more performant for the money.

I listened to this today and I believe they have a lot of potential to last. They’re working out some kinks like audio but I know they’re all more than smart enough to get it. Getting sponsors for hardware reviews is going to be crucial too.

I didn’t know they had their last episode until Jason mentioned it on another show. Pretty shitty it happened but I think that the new show can be just as good and hopefully better!

I think this was considered the official one from Reddit. They also made a post about merging today.

If you want something you could throw a different ROM on you could always try a used pixel 6 or newer with lineage OS. What kind of carrier compatibility do you need?

My favorite Pokémon has been poliwag ever since I played Pokémon blue for the first time. He so adorable and becomes a very powerful Pokémon. I remember catching him early on in Crystal version and making him my starter Pokémon.
