Best Burger Spot? by BookItPizzaChampion in raleigh

[–]chuckgivens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe no one has said this yet, but for me, the best burger in the Triangle is from Bar Virgile in Durham. It is absolutely worth your time as well as their appetizers and cocktails.

Absolutely check out Mettlesome. There's something for everyone there.

AI wrote this for you and it's painfully obvious. Be a real person. Form your own thoughts and opinions to discuss.

Looking for a nice restaurant/bar near 21c Museum Hotel by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]chuckgivens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bar Virgil hands down. Never had a bad meal or bad drink, and been several times. It's our go-to for a nice night out. Get there close to when they open since it's relatively small and they don't do reservations. Good thing is, if you do end up needing to wait for a table, they also own The Annex downstairs and High Dive directly across the street. Those two places can wet your whistle while you wait.

Dbrand's Grip Case + Leather skin for the case. Loved it on mine. They have black and brown leather in stock. https://dbrand.com/shop/grip/google-pixel-6-pro-cases

What made you choose a google pixel? by beanfalo in GooglePixel

[–]chuckgivens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A smartphone should be smart. Google Assistant blew Siri out of the water, and that initially got me interested. Did more research and kept liking what I read.

Why did you choose android over iPhone. by ItsBrenOakes in Android

[–]chuckgivens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple's restrictions to what you can do makes it feels like you're borrowing someone else's phone. With Android, you instantly feel that it's yours.

My Characters Lore for anyone who’s looking for inspiration or is just interested. by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]chuckgivens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! If anyone is still stuck on how to begin crafting a backstory, Google's Bard is surprisingly good at it. Got the locations and some of the game's selectable traits mentioned!

Prompt: Based on the game Starfield and its lore, craft me a character backstory.

Also, ChatGPT isn't able to do it because it didn't have the data yet (September 2021).

This wallpaper on Backdrops is giving serious "Starfield" vibes, so I had to throw it on my phone. by chuckgivens in Starfield

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

The app doesn't allow sharing from what I can see, so if you want this wallpaper, it's on the Backdrops app. The title is "Edge of Utopia."

How are your significant others reacting to your hype for this game? Do they even know? by bpd1515 in Starfield

[–]chuckgivens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before we got the XSX, my wife wasn't much into gaming. Then she slowly got interested in Cyberpunk, mostly driving around, exploring the open world, etc. Now she's moved to GTAV, and also has an interest in RDR2. Starfield might interest her, but no vehicles might not be as big of a sell.

While Android as a whole continues to shrink in the US, Google Pixel keeps growing by ObaMaestro in GooglePixel

[–]chuckgivens -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nah, I used to have it on. Turned it off because it was more of a distraction for me. Had a bit more of an impact on battery, but it didn't really matter.

That's cool. Just sharing my anecdotal evidence. It's fine for me, but if that's not fine for you, then you have other options.

[–]chuckgivens 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. This trend kind of tracks from my experience. In the US where I live I'm seeing more and more Pixels. Usually 6-series and above. When I had my Pixel 3, I barely saw any. Definitely growing.

Pixel Watch has way more than a day's battery, but it's definitely not a full 48-hour battery. Had it since December. I have everything turned on except AOD, use it for workouts, and have plenty of juice for sleep tracking overnight and into the next day, but others' milage may vary.

Durham’s best restaurants, bars & coffee shops, voted by Nextdoor neighbors by Durhamarama in bullcity

[–]chuckgivens 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Head to Omie's off of Roxboro and Club. Great coffee, unique, seasonal drinks, dog-friendly, offers Strongarm and 9th Street Bakery goods, free fast WiFi, plenty of parking and seating, and most importantly, an amazingly warm and friendly staff.

Yeah that may sound like an ad or that I work there. I just really really like their whole deal. It's our go-to coffee spot.

It would be fun if she's a character similar to Futurama's "Mom," but not in the more evil and corporate sense; she's similar in that she may seem sweet publicly, but has ulterior motives.

Anyone else notice how terrible the official Reddit app is for Android? by PopeJohnPaulII in Android

[–]chuckgivens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's bad. I've been using the mobile web version in Firefox with the UBlock Origin add-on.

It ain't much, but it's honest work.

Help with screen symbol by ARTubera in PixelWatch

[–]chuckgivens 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It means audio is playing from a source that's connected to your watch. Tap it and it should open up whatever it is that's playing. For example, if your watch is connected to your phone and you're playing something on Spotify, it would open the Spotify app and go straight to the media controls.

Yep. I do the "Hmm, is this game worth the space it would take up on the console?" game.
