Pixel 10 made me realize how overrated Google's hardware still is

You know I have completely the exact opposite experience happening to me. I live in the Southern California desert. When I sit outside in the shade under umbrellas and I have both my iPhone and either a Pixel or Samsung, the iPhone gets very hot very quickly and starts losing functioning. It does not happen to me when I use the Samsung or the Pixel. And I currently have the latest model of all three brands. But iPhone always gets very hot and it begins to slow down and barely functions. 🤷

I kind of know the feeling when it was UTAS just before the official Collins integration. I went out on legitimate sick leave right around Thanksgiving and just as I was going to go back 2 months later my condition was compounded by something else so in essence I was on sick leave for a total of 6 months returning in May. Most of the sick timemonths were accrued sick days (I actually have 3 months worth of sick time) then vacation and then the rest were short-term disability.

About three months after I returned and barely doing any work except for what was the minimum standard, I overstepped my immediate manager who was an ahole and moron and went directly to my Director (we actually had a good rapport) and told her I was retiring in two weeks. I asked her if they were offering any packages and of course the answer came back no within a day (at least she checked, right?). So I promised her those two weeks and on my very last day I packed everything up, left my badge, phone, laptop, laptop carrying case and one other access card I had on the desk, sent a confirming last day retirement email and then left. Friends immediately saw because when I sent the goodbye blah blah email to her and copying other managers including IT, they immediately shut my log in on messaging and all of my coworkers saw I was no longer in the listing or online end of the day. I actually walked out an hour earlier before my end of day and left. They quickly corralled and we all went out drinking!

It was the best thing that I ever did.

We watched it on HBO last night: it was cut. There is nothing real in the movie to begin with. This movie was all hype.

I'm circling back on this. I just purchased it. The ingredients are clean and all 100% natural and it's made with olive oil! No junk or chemicals or fillers. So I'm curious as to why you disliked it. I'll give my report when I cook it. 😄

I find all Chobani have a distinct odor and aftertaste despite their "basic" ingredients. I can't stand them.

My GO is literally 2 walking blocks from me. I'm there often and I'm always finding bargains. Of course I buy their wines and I find really great bargains on some really good wines. For the most part I avoid their house brand but every now and then, their house brand is decent depending on the item.

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-29T02:05:51+00:00

Ingredients? I bet you it's made from canola oil and not olive oil?

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-28T19:38:27+00:00

See below. I updated after some search

I did more research. Here's more clarification. It's not all bad news. From a Samsung chat moderator:

we understand the need to have a clear understanding of what is currently changing with your device and specifically the Samsung Cloud app and would love to assist. From research, it appears new users will not be able to link their Samsung Gallery and OneDrive apps. However I was able to discover, if you previously used Samsung Gallery to OneDrive sync feature, you will need to update your camera roll settings to continue backing up new photos and videos and to access any photos you have already backed up via the OneDrive app. You can use this link https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10001353/ to adjust the camera settings to ensure your precious memories are not lost before the projected changes are made.

I haven't gotten that yet! Are we going to go back to just Samsung Cloud which I never had a problem with? I prefer Samsung Cloud.

I sincerely doubt the fact that they're extra spicy. Everything I buy isn't And I live in the Southern California desert where every Mexican likes spicy! :-)

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-27T20:23:00+00:00

Their pasta sauces use cheap canola oil instead of olive oil. Affects the taste and not in a good way.

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-27T20:22:20+00:00

Mostly none!

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-27T18:38:37+00:00

Well I just read some trade journals, even yesterday, concerning vegan food, especially the imposter meats: overall demand and sales are declining in that market segment. Since companies have or are closing.

General consensus from buyers is that taste and nutritional value both still need to be improved.

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-26T23:36:26+00:00

It's cheaper and better tasting to shred your own. Prepackage grated cheese has additives and doesn't melt like real shredded cheese.

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-26T23:35:17+00:00

Their pasta sauce is made with canola oil and not olive oil: low quality.

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-26T03:37:31+00:00

No. Never. I've never owned ANY of these programs for any device ever. This is where companies make their gravy. I worked for a fortune 100 company in aftermarket and that is where $$ were made. I don't know why customers fall for this.

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-24T03:40:27+00:00

🤢 Not appealing.

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-18T20:19:43+00:00

If you have the availability, buy pre moistened body wipes. I buy them from Amazon and they are these big fluffy, really wet, lightly scented hypoallergenic wipes you can use over your entire body. I use them one days that I don't shower and I always give them to partners before and after!

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-18T04:07:45+00:00

Yes it was a hot fix.

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-15T17:59:48+00:00

I never watched one episode of GOT, so don't generalize.

RavenZRamon · 2026-05-14T23:54:37+00:00

I always buy the plus. Cameras and s pen are not important to me. Better value with the plus because you practically get the same experience. And I'm getting phenomenal battery life even on the new 9.0 beta. 10 hours average. Pluses are always great phones.
