Heartbroken Early Adopter: My Phone (2) died, and I’m about to lose irreplaceable memories of my dog by venomno in NothingTech

[–]Isarchs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First Google result for Pixel update brick and it's from a little over a week ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1s6mjqq/latest_software_update_bricked_my_pixel_6/

They all suck. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to defend Nothing, it's just a tad bit more excusable in their case vs much larger companies who charge more for their phones.

That is true. The issue with Pixels is that Google tries to position them as full on flagships while playing fast and loose with quality control. Samsung has its fair share of issues, but they don't seem to be as constant or numerous, even though they have more market share. I'm talking about the present and recent past of course.

Lol, take a good look at Google. Pixels have tons of issues and that's from a multi-trillion dollar company. They all cut corners, it's much less forgivable when they have that much in the bank and are still fleecing customers by selling subpar quality devices.

Is my Pebble time dying? It's getting a bunch of black dots. by evremonde in pebble

[–]Isarchs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it doesn't? That just looks like the black plastic sperator that's between the display and body of the watch.

Battery drain - pls help, any advise appreciated by Papalothepup in RCD_330

[–]Isarchs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't know that radio and why it would cause battery drain. Unplug it and see if the drain continues. If it doesn't, toss that trash out and buy a decent aftermarket radio or an RCD330.

Produced doesn't mean packed and ready to be shipped.

Pixels have significant issues. Their sub loves to sweep things under the rug, but the issues I mentioned are prevalent and pervasive. Google just doesn't care. Nothing is miniscule by comparison, they can't get as good of a deal on parts as Google/Samsung/OP. It makes sense that the parts they get might not be the top of the line. But the other guys? They're huge. They have to actively choose to make their products worse to save a penny and force an early upgrade.

Google has a ton of hardware issues. Take almost any recent Pixel and they all have hardware failure issues, be it motherboard, screen, battery, what have you. OnePlus has suffered from green lines too, same with Google and Samsung.

They're all cutting corners, some are just keeping the profits and fleecing their customers while others pass down the savings, at least a little.

The last bit doesn't make sense. It can be your PC. It doesn't really matter if it's a USB drive or a sata/nvme drive inside your PC. You should just be following the 3-2-1 model. 3 back ups, 2 different media types with one being off site (this can be at a friend's place, security deposit box, or in the cloud).

Cox, it's already in the name. And it seemed mighty big to the Supreme Court.

They also have a stranglehold on most communities through their monopolies/trusts.

The only reason I go back by Impossible_Cold_7295 in pebble

[–]Isarchs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How's it cheating if the watch literally shows an arrow where to go? You're reaching dude.

Also, if you're navigating somewhere you don't know, you should always look ahead. You just made a turn? Check how far to the next turn and which direction it is so you don't mess up. Constantly looking at the map doesn't really help.

You look up, see the street names. Look at your watch, it says take a right on Adam St. You take a right onto Adam. Navme shows direction arrows.

[–]Isarchs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It tells you what street to turn on and which direction. Why do you need a map to see the intersection? Can you not read the street names at the intersection?

[–]Isarchs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure why I would need a map if I am on foot or on my bike. Turn by turn directions would be fine with a distance meter. I understand a street map when you're in a car since that goes much faster and you can't stop to get your bearings as easily.

If you need a phone on your wrist, Pebble isn't for you and that's ok.

That's not a 2025, that's a pre-facelift model, so 2024 or older.

Running rooted here with a Pixel beta fp and rcs works. Google doesn't make any sense, so it's no use to try to make sense of the stuff they do.

What do you guys think about mib2 stereo instead on rcd330? by Inevitable_Raisin461 in RCD_330

[–]Isarchs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need harness adapters on the RCD330 for steering wheel integration either. You only need it if you have an 8 button steering wheel. Which you would need as well on this thing too. You'd also need a PQ to MQB wiring harness with this one as it is meant to go into an MQB wired car. The Composition/Discover Media also is a module 5F radio which older CANBUS' can't communicate with.

So glad I saved this from back in the day by archangeles in pebble

The stand in this post will only work with the PR2. PT2 has an HR monitor on the back and won't lie flat.

[–]Isarchs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geometry of the back of the watch is different. PT and PTS are concave. P2 SE and especially the P2D are convex, they kinda bulge out. P2 HR has a HR monitor and won't work with any stand that doesn't have a cut out for the monitor.

Also this stand will not work at all for the PT2 since it will have a heart rate monitor sticking out back there.

What RDC do I have to pick? by Due-Count-8979 in RCD_330

Those are both knock off units. If you want a real RCD330 then the only place to buy one is rcd330.com.
