I've had the 7 Pro since launch up until two Saturdays ago when I got it smashed.

I recently got a Pixel 8 Pro.

7 Pro's battery is okay, but it's not as good as Samsung S22 or Iphone 14. I believe the average battery life was around 8 hours during tests. I was disappointed, but it was serviceable. Pixel 8 Pro's battery life though is about 20-25% better, notably if its at 60hz vs 7 Pro at 60Hz. So 10 hours. I've used it for 2 days, and it is indeed better.

Although there's a $100 price difference between 7 and 8, I would get the 8 for sure. Not just for the improved battery life, slightly better camera, an AI stuff, but also because google said they would support it for 7 years, vs's 7's 4 years.

From what I've heard the latest iphone has some issues with wifi and overheating.

Google phones have that issue too.

imagine being paralyzed after doing a backflip. It's happened.

Chinese government didn't like that response (no surprise).

Man one of my biggest fears is living long enough to be in my 60s to 80s and not losing my mind like that. L

i returned the one from bestbuy this morning and picked up my eBay one.

What do you guys think? Should I ask the eBay seller if I can refund it and say the reason why, while upgrading to the 256GB version from Amazon for $859 (I paid $815 for the 128GB model from ebay).

I get the preferences,. but if the height (5'11)and age (older than her, 26) is that much of a deal breaker, lol.

It can matter during warranty. I did this with Samsung before. I'm pretty sure they log which phones come and go to maintain consistency over this.

Ok that's fine.. I'm picking up the phone from ebay I bought today anyway and returning this one...

Speaking of which.
Dammit. FML. So my 128GB phone from ebay arrived today but I wasn't home, but I need to pick it up at the post office (that's okay).

That being said.... Not only does Google have black Friday deals, but Amazon Prime matches them as well. $200 off for Pixel 8 Pro. $859 for 256GB! I go back to the listing on my eBay page and I noticed the seller (pretty sure they just wrote this in recently) says there's a 20% restocking fee for returns. SMH

I mean I can give it a shot and ask the seller.. But I already requested a color change at the last minute as an attempt to match the one I bought from bestbuy, and the fact that I might have to ask to return it is going to annoy them. Most likely they're going to go with the 20% restocking fee. smh

Maybe I should just suck it up and stick with the 128GB? uhh

500 years? You mean 20 years?

I feel like this is a bit judgemental

you don't know why someone might want/need roommates

Agreed. Sharing an apartment with a stranger is my last resort, but that's just me. I'm debt free and can afford a one bed room apartment.

But we don't know everyone's situation. A lot of are people in debt and trying to pay it off, or trying to save money, and/or can't afford to live by themselves (apartments and houses in some stated are especially expensive).

You work to become a better version of you and accomplish your dreams

You're not a man if you don't listen to it in Bruce Faulconer OST

US killed almost as many Iraqi civilians in that time period. Almost

welp, Google is having a black Friday sale. $200 off pro models this Friday. smh $860 for the 256GB + tax would have been swell. I don't think I have the guts to return the one I just paid for in eBay. Especially since I asked for a color change. SMH

was RDF Jr actually decent? he's independent now.

I have never filled up my 128 gb phone after 5 years of using it daily since I dont take many pics or vids. Dont play many games either.

A 5 year old phone is plenty for 128GB, assuming most pics are in full HD. on my current Pixel 2XL, I'm using 84 out of 128GB. That phone was lasting me for 5 years with that much storage before I got the 7 Pro last year.

Iirc the product serial ID is specific

I've done it with games before at Bestbuy.

I just managed to switch a black one with the seller. shoot.. I wonder if I should risk it.

Darn. what if I open the best buy one, and return the one from ebay to best buy? Only thing is that the colors are different

ah fuck. I found a really good deal for 128 GB 8 pro on eBay. $900 after taxes. I couldn't resist. Only because the seller has 100% feedback and has a sold a lot. I canceled my Amazon one that would be arriving tonight with twice the memory. msn I had to. Saved almost $200, even if it's only 128GB. I certainly saved that much from the best but one I bought but it won't come until Thursday at the earliest. I hope I don't regret it.

Welp I just orded the 256GB on amazon and it should be arriving tomorrow. Gonna return the best buy 128GB.

I can't believe I spent a grand on a freaking phone. I had a gift card, but still over 1000 after taxes. oh well.

That depends on you. I have 88 GB used on my S22, but it has 256GB, so I'm not too worried about space yet. If I had 128, I'd be looking at clearing up space soon.

Yeah I don't want to worry too much about having to delete stuff or buy cloud storage yet. I guess I can manage but twice the storage for only $60 seems worth it. It's too bad 256GB wasn't the minimum.

Jshipp24 posted...

I've had at least 256gb on my Pixel 6pro and now 8 pro. I don't ever fill it all the way up but its nice to have the extra space just in case. I'm at 110gb used now so with 128 i'd already be almost tapped out.

dude you would have had nothing! the OS would have taken up the rest lol. Good thing you got it that much then.

2022 model actually. Moto G Power 2022. It is serving me well.

Minimalist approach. Interesting!

AltAccount3 posted...

Maybe I'm a weirdo but I can't imagine why or how anyone would actually need that many gigabytes on their phone. My phone has only 64GB and I've used only 27GB of it. 31GB when cache is built up

I'm assuming your phone is at least 4-5 years old.

Newer phones take up a lot more storage for the latest OS. And then there's 4k photos and videos, which will take up more space than HD photos/videos. It builds up fast.

I admit I have a lot of apps, but I don't have a ton of games. Some social media apps take up like almost 1GB though.

I've cracked a couple phone screens, usually it doesn't happen until I'm about ready to get a new phone or I have insurance on it though.

Usually it's the charging slot that goes on me, not the screen.

Sometimes it could be just lint.

PMarth2002 posted...

I dropped mine on the driveway and it cracked. Dropped it a second time later and had to get a new one. I don't use a phone case or screen protector of any kind.

You definitely should... I've dropped my phone many times and my case protects it. Screen protector of course for scratches Saves you so much money and headache. And it will increase your trade in value.

I might just get a tempered glass this time for extra protection.

My day sucked today. I spent several hours doing research online and going to best buy back and forth, as well as a repair shop.. The repair shop was initially saying they could fix the screen, but realized that the frame was also dented on the side and said they couldn't fix it indefinitely.

I shouldn't have restarted my phone this morning cause I wasn't able to log back in at all. The touch screen is totally screwed.
I went to Beestbuy as well. I thought I loaded a $500 gift card, but apparently I didn't? And I don't have the card anymore. sigh.

Anyway I just Google Pixel 8 Pro 128GB, but I must get hold off on opening it and get a 256GB one. I don't know if 128GB will last me several years, unless I actively delete photos and videos.

I cracked a work phone. I just dealt with it until it was time for a replacement.

Mine isn't a minor crack. It's

I'm gonna go to BB's geek squad tomorrow and see what they can fully repair.. and then at another phone repair place.. It's probably gonna cost me like 200-300.

I have a phone cover and screen protector of course... but it was a direct hit on it. I have no idea how my phone got on the ground. Either it fell out of my pocket or it came out of on top of my backpack, or I really was an idiot and left it near the ground with the weights and had 345lbs of weight toppling and crushing it

It's crazy how its worth next to nothing in trade in value when the screen is cracked. Too bad I cracked the back on the camera. ;_;

Fuck man. Never happened to me before. I probably have to get the phone replaced entirely. I was at the gym earlier and somehow it was on the ground while I was doing deadlits and the weights basically just smashed into it. I'm so mad at myself. I'm not this careless.

I could probably got the screen replaced, but I noticed there's a crack across the back camera, so i might as well get a new phone altogether. Maybe I can get a trade in value at att&t or best buy towards another google pixel 7 pro or 8. smh

Yeah. Just cause it's more faster and convenient vs Opening up my laptop. I do use my laptop of course

I just question his intention to have that in the middle of a protest. Is it even necessary?

Isn't it the same guy (Iranian dude)?

Was any of that actually proven to work? I don't doubt Dare had some positive impact (I used to have a Dare sweate), but I can't imagine those cheesy egg commercials..

First episode was lit! Can't wait to see episode 1. I really wish they just released it all at once though.

I'm confused what you mean by gimmick when you say "that tablet" for Switch. The Switch being a hybrid was not a gimmick.

I'm not understanding what's wrong with this particular offering though. You play the game until the system improves.

This. They could force insurance companies and Obamacare to be cheaper/competitive.

If you don't work full time for a decent company that offers healthcare, it's stupidly expensive. People who are in between jobs or retired have it the worst. You get punished for being broke if you don't do Cobra or the current Obamacare system.

You can thank Republicans and greedy insurance corporations for that.

America desperately needs an affordable health care system.

I meant *censured.

I don't know what's going to happen after. It's a public shaming. I don't think she's being impeached.

I highlighted the part in black because some Republican got censured for comparing Palestinian civilians to nazi civilians, which is way worse than what Tlalib is being accused of.

Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.) filed the resolution to censure Mast, writing that his refusal to distinguish innocent Palestinians for Hamas terrorists is false, misleading, dehumanizing, dangerous, and unbecoming of a Member of Congress.
Mast made the comparison last Wednesday on the House floor, saying he would encourage the other side to not so lightly throw around the idea of 'innocent Palestinian civilians,' as is frequently said. I dont think we would so lightly throw around the term 'innocent Nazi civilians' during World War II.

for criticizing the Israeli Government. She's being accused of being anti-semitic and "Pro Hamas" and "calling for the destruction of Israel." So ridiculous. What's interesting to note is that Tlaib is Palestinian American. God the country of Israel has so much influence in American politics and corporations. It's disgusting.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/rashida-tlaib-censure-passes/ar-AA1jz0zZ?ocid=msedgntp&pc=LCTS&cvid=9a37ffb117894663d5f6782571dfb3f8&ei=

The House late Tuesday passed a GOP measure to formally reprimand Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) over her outspoken criticism of Israel, with some Democrats joining all Republicans to support the censure. Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) had moved to censure Tlaib for what he called promoting false narratives about the Palestinian militant group Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel. Its a more targeted measure after a similar attempt to censure Tlaib failed last week.

Tlaib will have the formal reprimand read aloud to her on the House floor. Four Republicans voted against the measure and 22 Democrats for it, with the final tally coming to 234-188, as four lawmakers voted present. The Michigan progressive had angered not only Republicans but also some members of her own party with her comments criticizing the Israeli government, including her posting a video on social media with a chant that is a rallying cry for Hamas: From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. The phrase refers to a desired Palestinian state that would stretch from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. It is viewed as a call for violence against Israel and a rejection of Israels right to exist.
Its the latest development in what has become an ongoing House censure war. Democrats defeated a similar motion to reprimand Tlaib last week, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) started the push.

Nearly two dozen Republicans joined all Democrats in sinking that measure, which compared a pro-Palestinian protest at the Capitol to an insurrection. In response, Democrats introduced a motion to censure Greene, though they withdrew it before a vote. Greene reintroduced her measure to censure Tlaib after stripping the language about insurrection, though she pulled back when the House acted on the McCormick-led resolution.

Then, on Monday night, Democrats also introduced a censure of Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) after he compared innocent Palestinian civilians to innocent Nazi civilians.

Tlaib, whose Detroit-area district includes a large Arab American population, is the first Palestinian American woman in Congress and is currently the only Palestinian American. Shes been an outspoken critic of the Israeli government during her tenure in Congress and has also vocally called for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.

Speaking on the House floor earlier Tuesday, Tlaib said her colleagues had distorted her positions, and she reiterated that her criticism was solely of the Israeli government: The idea that criticizing the government of Israel is antisemitic sets a very dangerous precedent.But that explanation wasnt good enough for some House Democrats. That's not acceptable rhetoric, said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), who on Tuesday released a statement, along with 70 other Democrats condemning the language used by Tlaib.

so tired of living in Canada and dealing with the psychopaths in this shitty little town so often

I want to be with Japan where I will fit in much better and get out of this awful depression

Japan is not what you think it is for foreigners. You quality of life might be worse based on how they treat you, as well as less job opportunities.

I remember in 11th grade, 16 year old me went in costume and when I got to one house .. they were like, "Aren't you too old to trick or treat?" I was like WTF in my head. I stopped after.

I know some people trick or treated until they were 18 or even 19.

Imo I think it should be 18, but whatever.

I didn't like Neighborhoods. It felt really mediocre to me. I didn't fully listen to the albums made with Seba.

Self titled is my favorite. It's mature themed and feels like the grew up. Neighboods went in that direction too. One more time kind of regresses a bit, but maybe it's pure fan service attempt.I just never cared about those stuff from their first 2 albums. Take off your Pants and Jacket and State of Enema are my 2nd and 3rd.

This raises more questions than solves any answers

-what was his motives coming in to a Pro Palestinian crowd with that?
how many of the pro Palestinian crowd actually supported Hamas?
-or were those supporters just plain suspicious of the guy and mob mentality took over

One has to think why he was walking through the crowd with that sign in the first place?

Glad they came back together. Neighborhoods was pretty bad outside of a few songs. But this one is good. They tried to get some of the older young crude stuff in there, +44 and Ava, but also sound really different overall.

I haven't listened to the whole album, but more than half the songs are bangers.
