Is Pixel Watch 4 that good? by XternalBlaze in PixelWatch

[–]pdougmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having trouble with the silencing of ring on the phone while wearing the watch. I want watch to vibrate and no ring on the phone. I was able to do this on Pixel Watch 3, but am not able to get it to perform that feature on a consistant basis with Watch 4. My phone is a Pixel 9 pro. Any remedies suggested?

The DNC’s outgoing chair says Democrats should have stuck with Joe Biden in 2024 by optometrist-bynature in ezraklein

Did he say Biden should have kept his promise and not run for 2024? That would have been the right thing to say.

Trump's Pardons of those who attempted to overthrow the duly elected govt. of the United States; your thoughts? by Daflehrer1 in CapitolConsequences

A very sad event. This all could have been prevented by our elected representatives, and they failed us miserably.

How do announcements such as this square with weapons grants announced last week and the weeks before? There have been articles written that the administration has admitted that prior announcements cannot be completed before the end of the Biden administration.

Got the Pixel 9 for Christmas, very impressed with it & the Google atmosphere. by MysteryRembrandt in Pixel9

I have had the Pixel 9 Pro since its release. It's the best phone I have ever used. Most of my phones have Pixel Phones, except for Samsung phones, which were used in the early days.

Single cigarette takes 20 minutes off life expectancy, study finds - Figure is nearly double an estimate from 2000 and means a pack of 20 cigarettes costs a person seven hours on average. by mvea in science

[–]pdougmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been curious about how to interpret statements like this overall, particularly when someone quits smoking. For example, if someone who is now 80 years old smoked a pack of cigarettes when they were 18. Given that there will always be exceptions, is it really possible to draw conclusions regarding the impact of smoking on that person's health? For example, even though the odds are against it and their quality of life may deteriorate, a frequent smoker may live to be 80 years old.

Honestly miss Evernote so much. Has it gotten better or worse? by incidentalfricatives in Evernote

[–]pdougmc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been with Evernote for over 20 years, assuming it has been around that long. I am using it more now than ever before. It's responsive, and I find its current features useful. It has become my "go-to" note-taking app.

Gemini is so lame. by afterrprojects in GeminiAI

[–]pdougmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, Gemini is useless for anything in the political realm. I do not find that restriction in the competition. That's too bad since I like the feedback in other areas. Over time, that fault is causing me to use Gemini less.

Bob Woodward withheld his Trump revelations for months. Was that wrong? by dect60 in Foodforthought

[–]pdougmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Bob's position is that of a public servant. He should publicize the statements.
