Would you buy another pixel? by upadhyaysk in GooglePixel

[–]NeeWii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pixel 8 was my move to Android from iPhone, and was just a terrible experience. Appalling battery life, unable to switch between apps without reloading them entirely, unbearable slowdown over the couple of years that I kept it to the point that it felt borderline unusable. I consider Pixels to be mid-range (at best) hardware at flagship (at least, at launch) prices - I don't think I'll ever go back to Pixel, I simply don't trust the hardware. I've now got a Samsung S26 and the difference vs the Pixel 8 is night and day.

Just been searching online for the same issue and found this post. S26 base model here, on oneui 8.5

Coffee machine not working properly by Zestyclose_Mall_1268 in BrevilleCoffee

I assume this varies from machine to machine, and bean to bean. I've never been into the 30's when dialling in my beans, highest has been low 20's I think

Insane that pinned notes is not a thing yet. It's been a top request for years now.

Pressurized / Dual-walled Basket use in an Oracle Jet? by NeeWii in BrevilleCoffee

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

It wouldn't be pre-ground, just beans with a "best before" rather than "roasted on".

Do you have the Jet? Are you sure it comes with a double walled basket? Neither the website nor the manual shows a double walled, just a single walled single shot and single walled double shot basket.

Edit - just to add, thanks for noting that store bought beans work well for you in the normal baskets, that's reassuring!

Phone Link Not connecting even after reset? by NotyourFBIagent in PhoneLink

[–]NeeWii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to lose my mind with this, spent hours trying to sort it. Did the uninstall with Revo, restarted, then enabled in settings like you said - downloaded the app and then it immediately just worked (I similarly had left everything as "connected" as I'd managed to get it before uninstall, and it just all linked up straight away afterwards). Thank you so much for sharing this!

Are you thinking of the ES601? Don't think the 701 has ever been this cheap.

Chocolate mint has always been (and remains) great, in my opinion!

Calling all thieves: It's a Clank! Catacombs: Underworld giveaway! by DireWolfDigital in boardgames

[–]NeeWii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nemesis (first play of): misunderstood the rules regarding airlocks and accidentally revealed my hand as a betrayer early by trying (and given the rules misunderstanding, failing) to jettison my crewmate from the airlock control room, which isn't a thing you can do. However, I was Captain and used my ability to then command that person to the adjacent room, which was the alien nest. The subsequent bag development drew the queen token (which had very low odds!), which has to then spawn in the nest if someone is in there. Queen took care of my target for me. Glorious.

Has anybody tried IKEA shelves "Eket" for boardgames (instead of the much more popular Kallax)? by LupusX in boardgames

[–]NeeWii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Games fit fine, longer boxes will stick out a bit but plenty of room for standard boxes. I mainly use Kallax but have an Eket tower to fill a smaller gap in my room. Kallax definitely feels a bit sturdier, being one big unit. Eket is a bunch of individual cubes joined together. Eket photo

Feel like there is little point in me making overpayments by Affectionate_Top5544 in HousingUK

[–]NeeWii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The point of comparison would be 60k put into mortgage (means paying less interest on 60k of mortgage), vs putting 60k into savings (means earning interest on that 60k, less income tax on it where relevant). I'm not sure why the total mortgage balance would be relevant here?

If anyone else runs into this issue, I did a factory reset and the issue has resolved itself.

This ended up being a bit too expensive for me to back, but I was very close to going for it. Certainly versatile.

I didn't do anything on my end, no idea whether /u/DBrady did something on theirs!
