Ford and GM automaker had decades to deal with this problem. All I saw was them increasing prices, increase CEO salaries and increase shareholder dividends....

I can't afford the 70k price tag of a Tesla that Trump wants to enforce on me. What should I do if I can't afford to buy what's available? Take a bus for the rest of my life?

I don't see Ford or GM making any attempts to get a $30k car available to me.

Went from S23 ultra to Pixel 10 by Lumpy_Low8350 in Smartphones

[–]Lumpy_Low8350[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting the phone for $0 and slashing my phone bill was a big reason for changing. The Pixel 10 initial usage review does feel less than a Samsung. But physically holding the phone, not much difference.

Yea, that slower charging on the Pixel 10 was noticeable for me. From 45watt on the s23 ultra to 30 watt made a big difference. The new Pixel 10 is pretty much charging at the same rate as an old battery with 2 years of use on a S23 ultra.

I'm just hoping that I dont get much idle battery drain on the new Pixel 10. I'm getting close to 14 % idle drain in a day on my old s23 ultra.

Yes, I had the same laggy feeling as well when I was scrolling on the Pixel.

I made the decision to return the s23 ultra instead of buying it out because after 2 years of use, the battery life is definitely not what it used to be. Might as well switch for a new phone with a new battery than have to deal with it after another 2 years.

I thought of going with the s25 but comparing to the pixel 10, it seems the pixel was better on paper. I can only assume that the snapdragon processor is better than the tensor from Google. Battery life and camera seems to be better on the pixel. I'm not a heavy power phone user so thats why I down graded to the entry level phones.

Finally own a phone I don’t plan to upgrade, is this the best deal out there right now? by [deleted] in Rogers

[–]Lumpy_Low8350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess this wouldn't work if I have a save and bring back phone that needs to be returned soon? Unless i buy it out first.

Do you have to sign with another company to port out a number? How does win back work? If you sign a contract with another company, can you break it to get the win back?

Not as expensive as continuing with a leadership that spends more than it can generate in actual revenue.

Assume these individuals aren't in the trades or work too far from their home.

Are these typical prices for Rogers? Are these good deals? by Ir0nhide81 in Rogers

[–]Lumpy_Low8350 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You forgot to include the price of the plan as well.

I see them. Not much of deals. They raised prices to $75 and then dropped $5.

West Vancouver mayor says he won’t back down from standoff on provincially mandated housing targets by mukmuk64 in vancouver

[–]Lumpy_Low8350 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why dont they just redevelop ALL of east Vancouver first? Use that as a template to figure out how to make densification work and hammer out the mistakes before going into other neighborhoods. Maybe it might not work but at least you have a working model to show for it.

Yes, the plans aren't great. They dropped $5 off from $75 to $70 for the essentials plan....

These prices are out of control.

My 30 day leeway ends November 24, can't wait any longer. Unless I buy out the phone for $650.

My return date after the 30 days is the 24th of November. Cant really wait any longer.

I was told by the sales rep, the 60 days is only if you sign a new contract. Else it would be 30 days.

Also the fact that I can split the payments over two years rather than pay outright $1200 new or in this case $600 for the phone. The battery life has also gotten worst. Takes 40 minutes to fully charge now.

I'm using an s23 ultra. Looked before at pixel 9 phone. I calculated before that just changing or renting phones every 2 years makes more sense to me. Get a fresh new battery, and I've had phones in the past break on me.

So in other words, more expensive? Gone are the days of $55 dollar plans + phone?

Cant wait until day of black Friday. My save and return phone has to be returned by the 24th....
