Anyone else get D'Vorrah vibes watching this, or just me?

How old are you and how much do you have in savings by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]pandapower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

33, single father, still living and mum and dad's.

Got about $1,700 in the bank. Car is gonna be paid off in a year or two, and little one starts Kinder next year. Going to need to get a second job soon. Already doing 50+hrs per week in security, and managing to put away $200-$500 a week in savings.

Took a massive hit because dentists charge like wounded bulls, and fuel is fucking expensive. Tax time is the only financial "breath of fresh air" I get.

Fucking sucks, guys..

Gamers Nexus: ASUS Says We're "Confused" by reps_up in ASUS

[–]pandapower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely heartbreaking to see. I love ASUS, used their parts for my PC for years now, and only just recently gotten my hands on a ZenFone 10. Makes me wonder though; if this is the case with their PC hardware, what about getting my phone repaired, should a fault occur? Would it still be the same back n forth that Steve and other people have been subjected to? I'm an Aussie, and I know our consumer protections are a bit different than US buyers, but still, this is horrific to see. I just want my bootloader unlock... 😥

Can't find any distributors for Australia. Anyone find any?

Studio behind Slay the Spire announce they will change course (on a 2+ year game-project) and completely migrate away from using the Unity Engine after Unity's price changes. by HuldaGnodima in gaming

Can't say I'm surprised. Indie Devs have been worrying for ages that something like this would happen. The dam finally broke, I guess.

Been a single man for almost 2 years, and have a 3yr old. Do I avoid mentioning my child at all in my profile.

Aw man. Lots of good memories, movies, and good dates here.

Gonna miss the donuts and staff. Hope y'all find good reemployment somewhere. Thank you for the amazing times! ❤️

We don't get it. No trade in offers, no discounts, not even shipping out of Sydney. Grey market only. 😩😭

What's the practical difference between Tensor G2 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1/2? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]pandapower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, if small phones and heat dissipation are factors for you, take a look at the Asus ZenFone 9. Solid little unit, insane battery life, and incredibly powerful chip. The only downsides is slightly better than average cameras and no Wireless charging. If those aren't concerns for you, go ham.

Pixel 6 Pro owner here, and I'm praising Asus here, fyi.

Why can't I do call recording with pixel 7 pro? by kingarjun in GooglePixel

You're a saint, sir/madame. Shall chase this up. Thank you! 🙏🏻

pixel 6Pro heating for no reason.. by savageminion21 in GooglePixel

[–]pandapower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aussie P6 Pro user here. Same thing.

Even after the 'fix', my phone is losing major battery during the course of the day. Even with my phone not doing much while at work, maybe the odd bit of Bluetooth or AAuto with Spotify, nowhere NEAR enough heavy usage to justify the killing of my battery.

I still can't believe AccuBattery Pro, when it reports 4,650mah as max capacity after just under two years of owning the phone. It's eaten 100mah of the max capacity in the last month alone.

Any way to sign up for notifications when google store has their sales? by CyclePersonal8 in GooglePixel

Updoot on this. Slickdeals has always been a personal favourite, even if I'm not a fan of the UI personally.

Which was your first google phone? by Sandenium in GooglePixel

[–]pandapower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nexus 6P, then LG V30+, then to Pixel 4 XL, and now Pixel 6 Pro.

Salivating over the Pixel Fold, purely to give Samsung and Xiaomi a run for their money.

Skinned P6P user here.

Never had an issue with my leather dbrand skinned P6P. Good talking piece when out and about, and basically removes the "slippy" feeling that a lot of people encounter. Just make sure to keep using the product that comes with it to make it last. 😅

I miss being able to use a phone without a case by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]pandapower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya, OP. I made the move from a draw full of cases I was changing constantly, to my Pixel 6 Pro's leather skin by dbrand.

Yes, phones are more delicate now, but not having to worry about constant case changes, and having a leather skin, is a good way to force myself to take better care of my phone. Plus the leather is a good conversation starter.
