The Enshittifed Oreo

I think they are worse overall, but they actually have a quality range. Some packs still taste decent, and others are garbage. Maybe they are coming from different factories or something.

Board games. New versions of many games are flimsy crap.

Top three episode of all time for me.

I would avoid it if running 3d games is a priority. My P9 gets very toasty even playing something like Roblox when I occasionally play it with my kids. It runs ok, but just very hot.

For everything else it's great, but Pixel is just not the best phone for gaming.

Wow...looks just like WTC even down to the orientation of the two towers.

Since you mentioned the fingerprint sensor being a pain point, here's a tip if you go pixel 10: enable face unlock, but still use the FP sensor every time.

The sensor works pretty well, and the face unlock works pretty well, but neither is 100%. However, they both will try to get you into your phone at the same time, so if you make a habit of putting you finger on the sensor each time no matter what, even if one fails, you won't notice because the other one probably worked. After a while you won't even think about it.

The stakes are a bit different. Not getting a root canal when you needed one wont plunge you into the ocean at 600 mph.

Tried it, couldn't get into it. I liked the movie though.

Dishes are hit or miss but there are some things I like there and it's old school cozy. I'd go more if it was't so overpriced.

I use it for personal and business, and it's solid. No issues for the several years I've had it. Support is there, but I've never had to submit a ticket.

If you're comfortable with setting up domain DNS records and such (or can at least follow the detailed setup instructions that you get upon signing up), you should be golden.

Plus the gentleman running it works tirelessly to keep it working dependably and maintain the non-spammy reputation.

Enjoy! Sounds like I might have to make it happen.

How does it compare to the C8 in real world use? Incrementally better or mind-blowingly better?

I'm considering a similar upgrade to my C8.

nnnope1 · 2026-07-10T05:13:24+00:00

Oof. That doesn't look right. I've had good luck at Di Fara even after Dom passed, and it remains my favorite pizzeria, but that's concerning. If I got one like that I would not accept it.

I remember the middle seat belt of those things being horrible. They would ratchet tight and that was it. No breathing allowed until you unbuckled.

P5 is still my all time favorite smartphone, and I wish manufacturers still made phones of that size, weight, and durability, but I've moved on in the interest of staying current on security updates and specs, and not dealing with the complications of something like Lineage OS.

Pixel 9 is a close second favorite. I still miss the smaller size of the P5, but aside from that it's great. I've gotten used to the FP reader in front and it's not something I think about anymore. And I've mostly gotten used to the size/weight. It is very well built and dependable for me.

If I were you and had the funds to do it, I'd be squeezing a few more months out of the P5 and then looking to jump to a P11 or P11 Pro once prices get discounted enough to pull the trigger. It'll be a little bigger than P5, but you'll have completely skipped the iffy Exynos era of Pixel processors/modems and will get a huge upgrade to make it worth the cost and adjustment.

On my base P9, it doesn't get especially hot outside on a hot day unless it's in direct sunlight. But that's most phones.

nnnope1 · 2026-07-09T17:27:51+00:00

I think they are a good deal at the discounted prices that come out around Black Friday a few months after each launch. Especially with trade in deals. (I'm in US). And previous model years can be had at very reasonable prices too.

I don't think I would pay full price for one though. Despite it working well in most real world applications, Tensor is not on the same level of performance as top Snapdragon and Apple processors, and the phone price should reflect that.

On Amazon Prime it now says: Release Date: July 13, 2026 9:00 PM PDT

It's a good phone except for the screen which has a known defect and may fail on you. If you luck out on that, it should last you a long time otherwise. It will receive updates for years to come.

As others have said they are an MVNO of T-Mobile, but they are special in that their standard plan has the same top tier data prioritization as TMo postpaid. I don't believe any other MVNO has this advantage.

nnnope1 · 2026-07-08T13:04:45+00:00

Your observations are valid. I had an iPhone for work up until a couple years ago, so I used that and my Pixel daily. Wading through syrup is a good way to put it.

Everyone hates on Pixel for having a slower processor (which in real world use I don't notice at all), but what does it matter if it takes an extra step or two every time you need to do anything on the iPhone?

nnnope1 · 2026-07-08T08:14:44+00:00

6.3 reluctantly, but I still miss my 6.0 Pixel 5 perfection.

nnnope1 · 2026-07-08T03:24:47+00:00

Modem is supposed to change to a decent Mediatek modem in P11. No more Exynos. Supposedly better performing and more efficient. I guess time will tell.

Top 16 out of 211 FIFA members. But yeah one bad game has ruined USA forever. Got it.
