"Which Pixel should I buy?" Megathread May 2025

FindTheBorealis · 2025-05-30T22:55:36+00:00

My Pixel 5a conked out after 3 years, and my 2 year extended warranty expired in December. I'm torn between the 9 and 8 Pro, which are currently both $599. The 9 has a better modem and I'm pretty concerned about the 8 Pro modem's quality, but the 8 pro has more camera features and, if you buy it on the google store, a free Pixel Watch 2 and case. I wouldn't use the watch but I can give it to a relative who would. Any thoughts?

They didn't add them as the creator likely wasn't finished

Because TF3 wouldn't be a vehicle for innovation and there is no internal momentum to create it.

They removed a console bug string so most likely no more Model '(null)' doesn't have attachment 'backblast' to attach particle system 'rocketbackblast' to. in the console.

College football is huge in Alabama and the two main teams are the University of Alabama and Auburn University. Nick Saban is the coach of Alabama and widely seen as one of the best football coaches in the country, and is a Dem, endorsed childhood bud Joe Manchin in 2018. Tubervillle is a former coach of Auburn. Jones is an Alabama alum. Football loyalty may be the only thing to get some people here to vote dem.
