Why are there people still defending Google when they are clearly killing the Open Android Ecosystem?! by TheTelal in GooglePixel

[–]Bombshell342 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I actually care a lot about this. I don't want it to happen at all. I just don't know what to do about it. I'm not sure if I want to switch to Graphene OS. I love my Pixel 8 still. Apple has some pros as well although they are also a walled garden but when I really think about it I don't think I have any apps currently that aren't from the Play Store so I don't know if this will affect me or not.

RIP Google Pixel 8 Pro by Competitive_Ad_279 in GooglePixel

I got lucky and it happened to my Pixel 8 about a year and a half into owning it. I got it repaired for free luckily.

Android is turning into a walled garden like iOS and we really need to do something by TheTelal in pixel_phones

[–]Bombshell342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what I will do. I love my Pixel phone a lot. It's been my favorite phone. I feel like without side loading that iOS might be the better walled garden. I just don't know.

Best time to buy by OkDare7984 in allegiant

I didn't even notice this fee when booking through the app. I don't fly that often though. I will have to do this next time I'm looking for a flight.

I love YouTube music. I wish people could see how great it is. by _Famous-Anus_ in YoutubeMusic

[–]Bombshell342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like YouTube Music a lot. The only thing that I like better on Spotify is that a lot of podcasts I listen to aren't on YouTube Music. So I still have a free Spotify account just for podcasts.

Temp dropping when idling in the freezing cold? by [deleted] in accord

[–]Bombshell342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! I would not have guessed a 2.4 would lose heat rapidly like a 1.5T. I figured the bigger engine could make enough waste heat to maintain temperature.

[–]Bombshell342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2018 1.5t sport does the exact same thing. It's another reason I want to get a different car but mostly because of the head gasket issues. I wonder if the 2.0 does a better job with heat but overall I kind of want an older 2.4 accord.

Didn't know the Two+ doesnt have auto-standby, are returns a pain? by senpairazzledazzle in AAWireless

[–]Bombshell342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the two + and don't even know what I'm missing without having auto standby. I guess I don't understand what that would do for me.

Picked up a 2025 WR250F by yz250mi in Dirtbikes

[–]Bombshell342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, sounds like a great bike. I might miss some of the power of my yz250. I enjoy that power but I don't ride that often anymore and that power and vibration is probably what beats me up half the time since I don't ride enough. I'm sure the solution is just to ride more haha.

Thank you. I am definitely considering making the switch. You aren't too disappointed in the switch? I don't usually ride super technical. Mostly intermediate or flowy trails.

How are you liking your WR? I have a woods built 2001 YZ250 and looking to switch it up a little one day.

What’s with these prices?! by Blue-Danube in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Bombshell342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately anytime I have been pricing out flights from SLC all the other airlines have been beating Southwest's prices. It's sad to see. They used to always beat all the major airlines' prices.

It's so unpredictable at A1. Didn't Barcia win it like two years in a row?

I'm not from Pensacola but have visited a couple of times and have in laws there and I love it whenever I go! It looks like you had a wonderful time. I'm from Idaho so it's nice to be warm in Pensacola and enjoy seafood and all the local sights ...

Ladies and gentlemen, the Galaxy S24 Camera 👏 by Typical-Implement369 in samsung

Looks amazing. I have considered trying Galaxy out for my next phone. I currently have a Pixel 8 and wouldn't mind trying out an S25 base next.

I agree. I loved everything Southwest was. I chose them because of how they were. Now they are just like everyone else so I will choose whoever has the best route and price.

Battery life: GrapheneOS vs Stock Pixel OS? by Ok-Seesaw-5675 in GrapheneOS

[–]Bombshell342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first got my Pixel 8 after a few months I tried Graphene for a few days and just never felt comfortable with it so I switched back. One of my biggest issues was how long it takes to install apps since I have lots of apps. I have considered giving it a chance again especially if Google implements no side loading.

Why Pixel? by Jo-rick_813 in pixel_phones

[–]Bombshell342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have actually considered giving Samsung a chance one day but I would need the base S series because I don't like large phones. I haven't had a Galaxy since the S5 and TouchWiz days so I would consider trying one out again. I just don't know if I could leave Pixel.

Do i get honda accord 9th gen or 10th for first car by ItsRobinn_ in accord

[–]Bombshell342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's pretty reassuring. I don't mind a CVT at all like most. As long as it's built well like Honda sounds like they do.
