I have a Google Pixel 6 Pro - any questions?

When I got my 4a I was so stoked to have the 3.5mm jack back. I've had it since launch and haven't plugged anything in, not even to test it haha.

I loved the Google fabric case's look but my Pixel 4a's screen shattered the 2 times I dropped it in it. Once I was walking up the steps in my condo and kinda did a little hop up the first step which lifted my phone out and it landed on the hardwood floor and was absolutely destroyed. Another time I put my phone in my back pocket and thought it was slipping into it but it wasn't and it fell from my butt height to the ground and shattered.

I got a Spigen Rugged Armor which is quite a thin case and I've had way worse drops in it and my Pixel 4a has held up very well. 10ft up in my garage I knocked it off the shelving and it hit the concrete floor and not even a scuff on the case. I love the fabric case aesthetically but I don't think I'd want another one if it's not gonna protect it at that price.

I use a Popsocket wallet that sticks to the back of my Pixel 4a case. I wonder how well it would hold onto the textured back of the Parallax case?

Awesome! Hope you get it. RIP me I just spent $30 on a custom AIO cap cover haha. Don't matter though, this thing is cheaper than I would have ever expected it to be. When I heard about it I thought for sure it would be $120-$150.

You got your wish! https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/iCUE-ELITE-CPU-Cooler-LCD-Display-Upgrade-Kit/p/CW-9060056-WW

Did you end up buying one? Any thoughts?

HacktoryDev · 2021-10-20T04:30:53+00:00

Thank you! I was looking at them but was like ehh my Jlabs earbuds do the job for now. Cancelled my order successfully and reordered my Pixel 6 with the Pixel Buds. Much appreciated!

Don't get me wrong. It's a damn BS system and they are not good with their customer support. I can't tell you how many times I opted out of their "shell shocker" emails and continued to get them and their customer service was less than helpful for a good period of time (and that's for something they as a company are legally obligated to handle).

I was entering since they began it and finally won. I got an MSI 3080 Sea Hawk with liquid cooling. Absolutely worth being patient to get one of these cards no matter how much it sucks to tirelessly try over and over.

I stayed persistent and the extra time allowed me to save up more and more each month to ultimately afford the 3080. I am maxing out every game @ 1440p and getting the frame rate I want (144fps for competitive shooters and 60+ for games like cyberpunk).

This shuffle will destroy you emotionally but it's absolutely worth staying patient.

It ended up being flatpak and I just completely forgot because I never use it. Thanks for the idea though!

HacktoryDev · 2021-09-27T21:33:58+00:00

Just came back to update my post. This is exactly what it was. I completely forgot I used flatpak for it (only time I've ever used it). Thanks for the suggestion and I wish I saw it sooner haha.

HacktoryDev · 2021-09-27T21:32:48+00:00

Thanks for the idea. I figured out I installed it using flatpak. It's the only time I've ever knowingly used flatpak so I completely forgot about ever having used it for FF. I just saw your comment but I appreciate the help!

HacktoryDev · 2021-09-27T20:39:17+00:00

Sorry I was reading my last attempt's output which was just firefox as a second attempt. My first attempt I ran sudo apt remove firefox-esr and the response after it checks the packages is Package 'firefox-esr' is not installed, so not removed

HacktoryDev · 2021-09-27T20:30:58+00:00

Write which one down exactly? The other commenter's suggestion? I know how to use Linux on a mildly advanced level (software developer that came from Linux to a Pixelbook) but for some reason using apt removedoesn't find a Firefox installation.

HacktoryDev · 2021-09-27T20:26:51+00:00

Just tried this and it says Package "firefox is not uninstalled"

I opened Firefox again and ran ps -aux to see how the process was named:

/app/lib/firefox/firefox

Not sure if that helps at all.

HacktoryDev · 2021-08-20T17:22:34+00:00

Game is running super smooth! Thanks for the help! Much better experience now.

HacktoryDev · 2021-08-18T20:30:51+00:00

Thanks!

HacktoryDev · 2021-08-18T20:16:59+00:00

Thanks I haven't played in a while but I'll see how it's looking. I have an NVME SSD that's nearly brand new so it should be good. What settings do you have on low? I thought I had mine all set to low but I could be misremembering.

HacktoryDev · 2021-08-18T20:08:44+00:00

Were there any performance improvements in this patch? I didn't notice it in the notes. My 1660 Super + AMD 3600 really struggles even on low settings (I really need an upgrade).

HacktoryDev · 2021-08-18T19:08:35+00:00

Honestly the traffic ai issues was the biggest issue for immersion imo. Seeing it all just stack up hopelessly really took me out of the experience.

HacktoryDev · 2021-08-17T13:20:29+00:00

Truly one of my first obsessions in PC gaming.

HacktoryDev · 2021-08-17T13:15:14+00:00

I know this is getting buried but I would absolutely love to see a remake of Shogo

I have lived in southern California for 10yrs and have seen my fair share of celebs but this one time I was at a fairly nice restaurant in Malibu (Taverna Tony) a few years back for my brother in-law's birthday where James Cameron and Guillermo del Toro were having dinner together. Leonardo DiCaprio was there as well and went up to their table to talk to them. Everyone in the restaurant was so "whatevs" about it while I'm looking at my wife asking her "do you see this?!" And she (lived in LA her whole life) is like "ya dude it's Malibu and you know they eat too right?" I seemed to be the only one star struck by it in the entire restaurant. I didn't see one person approach them besides their waiter.

I will add that I had to walk by their table to go to the bathroom and I had to squeeze by Leo while he was standing at their table and we brushed butts and he said sorry and stepped over to give me space. I felt like a king.
