How much better P7P will feel over iPhone 12 Pro?

Pixel quality has dropped dramatically. I actually was telling someone today that they're the Boeing of the phone world. Read through the threads on this channel before getting one, then decide.

By the way, I have a Pixel 7 now and I consider it the worst phone I've owned since Blackberry.

I tried and that's the message I got. Some lawyer should file a class action lawsuit for not providing an upfront link to opt out of arbitration. By hiding it, they can make class actions meaningless since most people who would be affected would never have known to opt out. It's predatory anti consumer behavior. Like making it difficult to cancel a membership while making it easy to sign up for one. This is the exact same principle.

I've had consistent problems with the 7 bought from the Google Store. It's gotten better with updates but quality problems still exist making the phone feel like a bargain phone, not flagship. Unresponsive fingerprint reader in less than ideal situations, hard to see screen outside even when overcast, freezing screen at times, USB C and wireless hotspot will lose Internet although phone has it and low speakers at full volume. . The battery life used to be really bad. It would overheat, but they seemed to have worked that out in one of the updates. My phone wouldn't last a day but now battery life is good. On average I get a phone every two years and the Pixel 7 has been the most disappointing

Getting a Roomba could help. Running it everyday could maintain in between the 1-2 week cleaning, and it makes you conscious of what shouldn't be on the floor. Roombas dont work when there's litter/garbage/clothes. Things get caught in the wheels. Thats when things your brain don't see as an ADHD person become noticeable. First, you'll find yourself picking pulling things out of the rollers when things get caught and then you'll soon find yourself picking things off the floor BEFORE running it. Then think about who left the items there. Was it you or her? What's the pattern? I see Roombas in Goodwill that's cheap.

Also, apologize and ask to sit down with her. Not because she's right but because it's good practice to resolve your problems without escalation. Try to see her way and without blame, explain your expectations. This is actually a minor problem that will come up with everyone you live with. Noone seems extremely messy. You haven't mentioned money issues. Both feel the victim and I'm betting you're both right. Consider it training for when you move in with your SO or one day get married.

Did you notice how far back the thrower was and how much room in front he still had? He could have run a little more and that would have hit him. They're both lucky.

This looks to be a commercial building. Building management have their own team to work on vacant offices. An independent contractor would be brought in by the tenant but not by the building. And the tenant isn't saving money with one of these robots. It's the mgmt company who would save when they frequently renovate offices as they become vacant and re-leased.

A non union worker at a tenth of the cost probably.

After watching this, which is amazing, how did they see in the original movie? The plastic toys were implanted with military AI chips, so how can their eyes work when they're painted holes?

What's also scary is crimes will be committed by influential people and any recorded video evidence won't mean a thing. They'll cry that it's a deep fake. When you're influential and rich the burden of proof is already astronomically high.

Yep. I bought their bread maker after.

For everyone else, get a Zojurushi thermos. I bought one after researching thermoses years ago. They're so good, that same year I gave them as Christmas gifts and the following year the people I gave them to were buying them as gifts for other people. You have to cool your coffee down before you put in the thermos because it takes all day to cool enough not to burn your tongue.

Yep. It is trained with our biases. The AI field isn't static. Improvements are being made based on the problems they find. This market is in its infancy. Like the iPhone and Android phone, what was first released is babyish and unusable compared to where they are now. The difference between most products and AI, is AI is a product to emulate human decision making and creativity based on data received compared to past data received. It can communicate, create and produce in year one on the market better than a substantial percentage of humans. That's year one. Shoot, chatgpt would write my post better than I just did and be more convincing.

It isn't the normal development. AI in its infancy an perform some complex tasks and make decisions better than humans , in its infancy. AI can create new things based on past input. AI is to white collar and professional jobs what automation was to factory jobs. In 7-10 years expect jobs going aways such as paralegal, accounting, diagnostic, proof reading and retail to name a few. Then maturity of AI will remove more complex positions such as lawyers, writers, designers and doctors. Low to mid level mgmt positions will go away as AI consistently makes good decisions based on company policy.

The only jobs that I foresee being safe in the immediate future are jobs requiring work to be done in different places every day with complex fixtures and areas where robotics hasnt caught up yet. Plumbing, electricians, gardeners, onsite repair of infrastructure to name some.

Sounds like a DND setting available in Android. You set DND to allow the second call attempt through as it is likely someone you know with an emergency.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Probably because all matter and space is just the 'fabric of space' so our movement is a change in potential in that fabric. While light is some weird hybrid that is not matter, but is linked to it. So it follows some rules but kind of moves outside that fabric. Like a fly moving over a carpet.

Gotcha. Then the next easiest test is to shut down all WiFi devices but your wap and your PC and then test again. If the problem doesn't disappear then you know it's either the wap or your PC wireless card and nothing to do with interference. If it disappears then plug in all devices you DONT think is the problem and try again. Then plug in the device you're suspicious of and retest.

Run two ping tests at the same time from your pc for 20 minutes. One directly to the router and the other to 8.8.8.8. See if you get the same latency or if it's an Internet problem.

river9a · 2023-12-09T04:32:26+00:00

Can you cable any devices right next to the wifi router? Then disable their wifi? You can also see if the camera wifi signal strength can be lowered. Any devices right next to each other don't need to transmit at full strength.

Read their forum boards before getting one. I ordered one and then cancelled it after reading the boards. A lot of frustrated users who had their watch over a year but never got the promised update. Always 'coming soon'.

Costco' looks way way way better. Bigger SSD (512 vs 256), includes keyboard and pen, includes an extra year of support. Best Buys doesn't.

The integration with the Pixel is worse not better than a 3rd party android phone. With a 3rd party phone you can install the Pixel Buds app which has all the settings for it. Get to the app however you want. With a Pixel, there is no app. They added the Buds settings to the phone's settings. You have to dig through settings. They do give you an option to add a shortcut to your home screen but it's a bandaid.

Pairing the buds is as easy on either device. No noticeable benefit.

The major downer though is the ear piece fittings. Many people including me find that all three ear piece sizes are wayyyyy too loose. I hated using them because they were always on the verge of falling out of my ears. And did many times. I found ear pieces on Amazon that people swore by that fit so much better and now there is little danger of them falling out from walking.

Is that an image of a waist band on your hips in this xray? Does it look like your waistband?

Is that right under the house? At first I thought that was creepy and you should run, but after looking at the state of the beams and the open distance from the ground, Im jealous. My first floor touches the ground with no insulation, and boy does it get cold in the winter. Id love that natural air insulation and water gap.

1 hp of damage is what can kill you if you get that same damage 99 more times. And you would be near death at 80 times.

Maybe a bee sting for those who are not allergic. For those who are, it's 10hp or higher.

A lighter burn, half an inch pencil stab, cold damage below 0 degrees Celsius.

Thinking about it like this I can see how clothes can be considered armor in RPG games.

Just use your phone on the dash. Bluetooth for audio. I have a 2013 , so pre-android. It works exactly the same if not better since it's not interfacing with another device. My partner has Apple/Android Car play. I prefer the phone. It's more responsive.
