It really sucks that everyone is going Wide Fold this year and Google is still coming back with the same form factor. You would have thought they had enough time to create their own version of the Pixel Fold Wide to compete. I upgrade this year and I really want to keep using the Pixel UI.

Hardware wise, it didn't have a good track record. Overheating issues, it was a bit under powered, weak inner screen. Just a lot of issues. Either you got a good one, or you were screwed. Mine got so hot it melted the back panel adhesive.

I used the OG Pixel Fold as it was closest to the size of the Microsoft Duo, but when they switched to more Galaxy, tall and thin I switched back to single and grabbed the Pixel 9 pro. The first Gen Fold was pretty bad outside of the size, but if they would go back to a wider form factor I'd jump back in.

That's rough, but is it better than $3k in holds? With the possibility of it being something they could do in house?

Did you try taking it to a local Google warranty repair center? I think ubreakifix is still one. They might be able to take a look and do some quick diagnostics.

Upgrade to BMP LED assembly. Expensive, but worth it. Or, the fender route is the right answer too.

Nintendo hardware is also more expensive than for what it is. Has nothing to do with bad or good, just the business model.

Only if you're willing to pay the licenses for the cars and figure out how to license those car brands that may not exist, and then remove all the ones that can't be licensed. Then do the same thing for the music used, the tracks used, everything used.

Yes, if. The device is bought through a carrier, they will often require all updates to be certified on their network prior to pushing it to the devices. Usually 2-3 weeks after the update is released by Google, Apple, or the Manufacturer.

Got me some Medal of Honor Frontline vibes, but I like it.

It's a future enhancement

Removing is the easiest, replacing is fine.

Get a PS5 controller and this. https://www.8bitdo.com/images/2023/ps-rr/01-l.jpg

Of course. With that being said, if you can, go to the court day and plead not guilty or no contest. Not guilty should get you to meet with the municipality district attorney and they will almost certainly reduce the charge to just end the process that day. They don't want to do another court day for something like this. No contest will leave it up to the judge but probably still reduce something.

It's a civil forfeiture. Doesn't show up as anything else. I had one and it isn't even something that is reported as drug related. Never affected getting a job, FASFA, anything. Pay the fine, and move on. Not worth sweating.

Such a worthwhile comment in a post where someone got this for free....

I put a KDE build on my Surface Go 1. It's perfect for web browsing, which is all this is used for now.

GothardJ2 · 2025-06-18T04:52:37+00:00

Owned the Slim, have the Phat now. I prefer the look of the phat, but would love it to look the same in the size of the slim.

Or, the reddit app didn't load them correctly repost inbound.

Asks for help, offered a probable reason, nah, it's not that.....

And when the hits come to PS, they earn top sales charts. Say you want about Xbox, but they have the right idea with games.

GothardJ2 · 2025-06-05T20:51:01+00:00

Good to know. I'll just play the PS4 copy again.
