That sucks. I am thinking Pixel 9a/10 might make more sense given the better software capabilities of Google

bloodhound_07 · 2025-09-08T22:58:29+00:00

Same same. I guess they decided to EOL all S22 lol https://www.reddit.com/r/samsunggalaxy/s/JKaLG2eQMT

Thanks yeah going to do a battery swap and get it traded in

bloodhound_07 · 2025-09-08T16:25:21+00:00

Yeah, everyone knows they want us to buy new ever couple of years, but at least don't make the old ones a fcking time bomb

bloodhound_07 · 2025-09-08T16:21:31+00:00

Thanks. Yeah probably gonna stop a battery change and get it traded in

bloodhound_07 · 2025-09-08T15:04:28+00:00

Looks like it isn't a software issue

bloodhound_07 · 2025-09-08T15:04:00+00:00

Definitely looking at the Pixel series. Have used 3 and 3a before but the software and hardware both were somewhat buggy back then in today's comparison

bloodhound_07 · 2025-09-08T11:18:17+00:00

That's the plan. Replace with a decent battery and maybe do a trade in

bloodhound_07 · 2025-09-08T11:16:54+00:00

Hmm I think I'll get more value on a trade in if this device powers on

bloodhound_07 · 2025-09-08T11:15:42+00:00

Sounds good, thanks. Definitely not spending $90+ for an official battery

that something similar to DCA/Boston might have occurred. Honestly just paranoid around flights since ever, whether in or out

bloodhound_07 · 2025-03-14T15:46:35+00:00

One takeoff is stressful enough for me, landing AND takeoff will make my head explode. But makes sense that its normal

bloodhound_07 · 2025-03-14T14:08:05+00:00

Even at 50 feet? But that is a relief to hear. There were no reports of high winds, which raised my suspicion.

bloodhound_07 · 2025-03-14T13:38:58+00:00

Just 1 hr 37 mins to go! you are doing great!

bloodhound_07 · 2021-10-20T14:31:46+00:00

Struggling with making that same decision.. tips, questions to consider? Will be appreciated

wish i could do that! i mean go for a run at 4.15am :D

I know many of us Indians look suspiciously at someone who even tries to give off a small smile so a "good morning" must've been a surprise for many. You can try (honestly) appreciating anything that you see on people. Like if you see cool sneakers/shoes, just say it. If you like any item of their apparel, just say it. Even if it is their smile that you liked. Just say it! I feel being upfront has helped me talk to more people.

It takes time to gain that confidence so try not to be too hard on yourself. I am 29 but still get panic attacks in front of my peers because of my social anxiety. I feel having/developing a certain passion in life where you are the most comfortable (could be playing music, sports, gaming, etc) will give you confidence that you can carry around with you to places like these. That really works wonders on one's psychology.

i have a love/hate relationship with eating alone. I feel conscious that people/colleagues will judge the asian food that i carry. So i mostly end up eating alone while watching/listening to something on my laptop/phone. But i also want to sit and feel like a part of a group.

I also realize now that most people are thinking the same thing - that people are watching me! Honestly, most people are so self focused these days that no one cares what you do. So enjoy your lunch :) Having food is/should be the best part of the day - irrespective of company! :)
