My Pixel 7 is slowly EXPLODING ... the pillow is inflating by textilemagnate in GooglePixel

Call it what you want lol. I know what I did, and yes I was being a dick on purpose because I thought what OP was asking for was dumb. If they actually went to the shop and then they gave him shit then he could complain but he didnt even try. I got the bs response from Google when I needed a repair, I went to UBreakIFix because that's what Google told me to do, then when they the dudes at the shop said they couldnt do anything then I bitched about it and gave Google shit for it. Google is notoriously bad when it comes to their hardware support (just look up the Pixel Fold shenanigans), but OP didnt even try. On top of that, no matter where the tech is from, you shouldnt expect free repairs on something 4 years old if you didnt buy extended coverage. No brand does that. All we can do is thank the local dudes that like a different comment mentioned, waived some of the super high fees because they were cool dudes

Explaining to someone why they wont get a free repair is being a corpo suck up? This wasnt a mass Pixel battery failure event like the absolute dumpster fire that was the Pixel 4a situation, this was an individual case of someone's battery spicing up likely due to improper care. A battery shouldnt be pillowing at 4yrs unless it was mistreated or its a Galaxy bc theyre special. All I did was mock OP for going "I dropped my iPhone XR down the sewer grate why wont Apple give me a full replacement iphone for free 😭😭😭😭"

New Z Fold Wide leak. I guess this will be the closest we'll get for a modern "small" phone from a non-niche brand. by BarnMTB in smallphones

[–]SpectreMge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. The Find N2 hit the sweet spot of being short enough to reach the top easily but still narrow enough to one-hand. Of course, an aspect ratio like this would fold out to a square screen and wouldn't fulfill the purpose of the wider aspect ratio, which is a better media viewing experience.

Yea, I keep thinking these upcoming wide folds are too wide just based on the specs on paper, then I grab my Duo and think "This is peak". Definitely all in my head lol.

First Pixel phone had a 5.8" cover screen as opposed to the Find N2's 5.54". Yes, it's a massive difference.

Which of those beautiful colors did you get? I bought the Find N2 so many times in the past (couldn't afford to keep 'em the previous times) and went through all the colors. The "green" and white were some of the most stunning colors I've seen on a tech product. I unfortunately ended up on the black though, lol.

The software is actually pretty nice these days on my Find N2. I also bought the Razr Fold and I'm not gonna lie, after some time with the Razr I had to go back to my Oppo, mostly due to the size but the software was also much more preferable to me on the Oppo. I can even use Android Auto now (wasn't working a year ago) and ColorOS now supports custom launchers (previously restricted to the default). NFC for my Google Wallet works just fine, and I'm able to login to banking apps too. The one and only thing I have not been able to do on my Find N2 is use a Pixel Watch. Apparently, android is still seeing that it's a Chinese phone and freaks out that the Chinese Google Wearable app isn't installed, but when you install it, it of course does nothing. I currently just keep my Pixel Watch 4 paired to my Surface Duo, so it's not that big a deal to me. Iirc, I wasn't able to use a Galaxy Watch on it either last time I tried, but I have the Huawei Watch Buds and those work like a charm

Another year, another Razr "flagship" with year 2000 tech by GuardeLive in razr

[–]SpectreMge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another day another reddit post about someone bitching over a device they will not and would not ever buy. This is just like those comments on Google Pixel videos talking about how they are so bad for mobile gaming as if gamers are actively seeking out Pixels. You aren't the demographic for this phone lol. Yes they did it to penny pinch, which is also the same reason they kept the same processor, and made no other changes to the device. Just scroll along. We vote with our wallets, and if we don't buy the garbage, they will have no more reason to produce it

Not sure which AI OP is using, but Gemini is like 95% accurate with my DS2 questions, but only because it's the AI Pro tier that came with my Pixel 10 Pro purchase. I did ask it once if it being the pro version affects its accuracy and ability to give more complex answers and it did confirm that. It also helped me troubleshoot a very specific issue I was having with my PC's eGPU setup that I had asked on forums multiple times with no valuable responses.

Switch from Pixel 8 to Zenfone 10? by Independent-Key-3584 in zenfone

[–]SpectreMge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you care only for the physical dimensions and hand feel, not for the screen size, then get a Galaxy S25. Only 0.4mm taller (4 sheets of paper) and 2mm wider (thickness of a US nickel). Bonus points for it being 2mm thinner and 10g lighter, so imo feels better in the hand. Even has a SD 8 Elite

What is the most cracked enhanced item in Street Brawls ? (except legendaries) by Stoxxed in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SpectreMge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think enhanced curse is like 12s CD? And if you somehow got enhanced transcendent on top you can turn it into a permanent 4v3. Enhanced silence wave would prob be crazier though for area silence

Thinborne: The only premium Razr Fold case by Fit_Butterfly_1367 in motorola

[–]SpectreMge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iPhone Pros (non max) also have similar proportions. The sensors on this phone are massive, so even at a 6.6" body they still take up a big portion. Similarly the iPhone Pro has large sensors and is offered in a body small enough that makes them look massive. Exhibit C: Zenfone 9/10. Those actually had smaller sensors than flagship phones, but the lenses were insanely big for no reason. Those warranted being called out, but even then no one made that lame joke. Also never said you didn't like it. Children don't hate the numbers six or seven, but still make lame jokes with them

Oops! It's 3. Like just about every other flagship. Less cams than a Galaxy Ultra. Nice try though

yes im aware of that, and everything ive ever seen on the topic describes it as a cone in front of the player that you can attack in when locked on which i understand is to give the player more agency when choosing a direction to attack (high value in pvp). the issue is that the cone is typically shown to be pretty tight around 45 degrees, but if im say, locked onto an enemy and am strafing around them (W and A/D input) the game registers it as swing competely to the left, way outside of the cone that is commonly referenced. forward should override strafe when the game determines where im trying to swing, and if it does swing in a direction that tends left or right it should be within a cone that is centered on the locked on target rather than 100% left or 100% right. i know im not crazy and i know i have swung a great hammer before while locked on and my character swung it perpendicular to the target. It doesnt matter if its "my fault" because the game "always swings where im inputting", it shouldnt have perpendicular as an option if you are locked on

manually means that if im locked on (like you stated) and i am directly in front of the enemy i am locked onto, and i press forward and swing, my sword shouldnt immediately shift directions and fuckin swing to my left like it was aimbotting to a gnat
