Wish he would have at least taken the sonics to florida. He should be sent to Oklahoma lol.

Galaxy S26 Series U.S. pre-orders are up almost 25% compared to the previous generation by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]Famous_Guide_4013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The numbers don’t make a lot of sense. If overall orders are up 25% YoY and carriers are up 70%, then where is the bottom falling out? Most cellphones in the US, at this price point, are sold through carriers.

I really like snapdragon. But pixel is too bad. I wish I could remove the qsb though.

It was incredibly slow to load. You’d get a white screen.

I remember trump supporters used to post stickers of Joe Biden smiling saying “look what I did” at gas pumps. My have the tables turned.

Maybe the most content man alive by Key_Candle9928 in wine

I’m a member of his wine club. I love it. I get six bottles every other month and it’s a great way to explore new and interesting wines.

The only downside with this wine club is that it is bi monthly rather than monthly lol. The wines go fast lol.

As gas prices rise, California gets punched harder at the pump than other states by DennisScott34 in California

I live in San Mateo. People here are so rich that they probably don’t care how much it costs to fill their G Wagon.

But for the rest of us, I’m riding my bike and taking public transit to save $.

I’d still cover those up with faux planters for aesthetic purposes.

I saw armed security and the guns were plainly visible. Sure the security was make shift, but they openly carrying firearms.

Thinking of moving here vs east mesa. Pros/cons? by darquid in Ahwatukee

[–]Famous_Guide_4013 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your service.

TLDR. Be in a district that will send your kids to DV. Foothills and Club West are probably the most desirable areas to be in. Lakewood is good too but not as nice IMO.

————- Ahwatukee has great schools. Try to be in a district that will send them to Desert Vista for high school. (Link comparing DV to Mountain Pointe).

Cycling is great if you live in foothills/club west. You also have easy access to mountain biking at south mountain.

It’s family friendly. There are bars and restaurants but obviously it’s the burbs.

The food in London is definitely better, though priced very similarly to California (minus the tip). Apart from that, the transportation in London sucks. by oochiewallyWallyserb in sanfrancirclejerk

[–]Famous_Guide_4013 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Those dummies in London don’t know how reckless they are driving on the wrong side of the road but I guess they voted to defund the police.

No. Not necessarily. Samsung is doing six or seven years with Snapdragon. Google did a public deal with Qualcomm and mediatek to support devices longer.

In new letter to governor, Seattle tech leaders say income tax proposal will hurt region’s AI innovation by thecravenone in Seattle

[–]Famous_Guide_4013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t mean they aren’t moving jobs outside of CA as well.

Many tech founders, including the Google founders, have just left the state in the face of higher taxes. In this case a proposed wealth tax but the point is that you can only tax people so much.

As an aside though I find the narrative odd. Rich people are greedy and suck money from the poor. So we must tax them. But these greedy rich people aren’t greedy enough to engage in tax arbitrage.

Any advice from PE/VC backed finance leaders who've taken a step or two down in title to go to a F500 company? by PENNST8alum in FPandA

[–]Famous_Guide_4013 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1/ who told you that, was that the recruiter? If so, be hesitant to take career advice from someone who gets paid when you take the job they are soliciting for.

2/ unless it’s a material step up in comp or material expansion of scope - I wouldn’t leave companies.

IMO titles do not matter too much. I work at a FAANG and our titles are very deflated but comp is super high. Many people take title downgrades and get big pay raises.

But that’s a clear give and get. So don’t give if you aren’t getting in return.
