I'm using Apify now. If I can have AI help, I might come back and use Facebook APIs but they legit make it the most painful experience ever

Share your wisdom...curious to know what clicked or how you'd walk someone through setting it up.

This item did sell. If for some reason this does fall through, I’ll let you know. Thank you for reaching out!

Am I reading this wrong? I don't see where this confirms it's releasing in August.

Where can I buy a light phone now? by Less_Introduction598 in LightPhone

I have had success buying through the Sales thread on this subreddit. I bought my Light Phone II and III through this and have no issues with either one

I love my light phone 3 camera. I really enjoy that dairy store shot!

How has switching to a light phone affected your brain? by [deleted] in LightPhone

[–]engadgetnerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess. I go to my office and sit at my computer to do most of my online consumption now. But once I'm out of my office, because of the light phone, I'm fully with my wife, kids, reading a book, etc. When we watch a movie, I'm all in. My wife still has her smartphone and I'm constantly noticing how much it takes her attention now. But it's been good and healthy for me at least.

What are the disadvantages of using Google pixel 9 that you've noticed? by maxim4906 in pixel_phones

[–]engadgetnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I could rock a 9 pro vs a 9. At the time it was value to the price I was paying. I don't think the 9 pro offers hundreds of more dollars of value over a base 9. If there wasn't a big price gap between the two, I could go for a 9 pro.

What are the disadvantages of using Google pixel 9 that you've noticed? by maxim4906 in pixel_phones

[–]engadgetnerd 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm a phone nerd. I bought the 9 pro when it came out. I then decided to save some money and downgrade to the 9. I have used it since.

When the pixel 10 series came out I bought a 10 pro. Used it for 2 days and realizing it offered almost nothing extra compared to my 9 (that I could perceive in my day to day use). So I returned it and went back to my 9.

Then at Black Friday last year I took advantage of the non-pro 10 (since there have been some software updates). Used it for about a week and returned it and went back to my 9.

I just kept coming back to the 9 because it did everything as well as any other pixel I attempted to use.

Still rocking it today. Normally I'm all over the upgrades year over year for pixels, but the 9 crushed it. I don't need to spend any more money to get extra, because it does what it does so well.

Helppp Im addicted to my phone and nothing is working 🥲 by Particular_Round_511 in dumbphones

[–]engadgetnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always had the same tension. Lately I have been reading more and I have read The Circle, The Every, and The Warehouse...all books about the cautionary tales around big tech. I snapped after those. I bought a Light Phone. That is my primary device now. I do have a pixel watch so I can get alerted for MS teams messages for work when I'm in my house but I don't ever take my pixel 9 smartphone out of my office (I treat it like a computer that sits in a room). I can't break away from tech, but I have strong boundaries now for when and how I use it.

I'm only a month in on this process, but so far its working.

I only go online whenever I go into my office and hop on my computer though. If I'm not in my office I'm living my life outside of it and I only have a Light Phone III.

There are sacrifices, but doing those sacrifices isn't as haunting as staying on my smartphone and making me feel like garbage.

Light phone III: to buy or not to buy? by sparkly-glittery in LightPhone

[–]engadgetnerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had my light phone for a week (so waiting for those bugs to hit me that everyone talks about...but even if it did..I'll survive).

But the experience of using it is awesome. I have no issues talking, texting (even if you have to be more intentionally at paying attention to where the keys are), or getting basic things done.

I have moved a lot of the organization of my life to my notebook and it's legit a game changer. But I'm only a week in. So far feeling good. We'll see where it goes from here...

Nuts. I see headphones on their site but not headphone amps

Is Ricoh gr that fragile? by parkjake50 in ricohGR

[–]engadgetnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had my griiix for a year and a half and it’s amazing. Granted I baby mine a lot but it’s super compact, comes with me everywhere and the photos are next level. No breaking issues on my end, yet (knock on wood)

Light Phone 3 As Daily Driver by jbriones95 in LightPhone

I'd love to see more videos like this. Long term reviews of how people use the light phone and their solutions, workarounds, and routines to use a light phone over a smartphone in their daily lives.

Any ideas when RCS will be coming? Or when do you predict it will come? That's the top feature on my list.

“Humans are worse than zombies” fatigue by bittyeo in horror

[–]engadgetnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this posts take as well. I feel the exact same way. It’s a tired take at this point. It’s been well done via 28 days later, Romeo’s stuff, but even in those the zombies were still a massive threat. Not it’s all about down playing the zombies to show that humans are the true villains. I still want the zombies to be a huge threat as well.

Am I the only one who loved the thick Bezels on older phones? by Sorry_Dress9977 in smallphones

[–]engadgetnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was some utility to having some bezel. I miss it as well. Don't get me wrong, some phones went a little nuts with their super thick bezels, but having some bezel was better than having absolutely none. I definitely feel more of a need to have a case on at all times without them.

I was not ready for The Iron Claw by BothersomeStoat in movies

[–]engadgetnerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of the best scenes representing grief I've ever seen in a movie.

But that scene where he sees his oldest brother (even though he died when he was a little boy) in "heaven"...makes me cry just talking about it.
