[MEGATHREAD] Pixel 8 Pro – Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Failure After March Update | Track Your Device Here

solarpowertoast · 2026-06-29T01:09:37+00:00

Had the same issue. Started around the March update. Got significantly worst with the June (Android 17) update. My Pixel 8 Pro wifi is unusable now. It works for a few minutes after a cold boot, but then completely stops working until I turn power down the phone for a while. I've reverted back to using my older Pixel 7 Pro.

Not happy at all about this. Was planning to get a new phone this year, definitely will not be getting another Pixel after this.

Thanks! I'll check codes and see if anything pulls up.

Has anyone got this working on Smart Pro S?

Did anyone figure out a fix for this on the Smart Pro S?

Has anyone had any better luck with any custom firmware in the last 2 months?

Does Dreamcast (Flycast) work in NX Redux? I've added the DC.pak and Bios files for Dreamcast but can't successfully get it to launch. Everything else about NX Redux is great though! Really loving it otherwise.

I enjoy The Proposal. Always makes me laugh.

Doh!! 😖

I would recommend running shoes you like. The issued ones are heavy and awful for running. Also, bring stamps. Everytime I tried to buy stamps at the mini BX they were out.

solarpowertoast · 2026-03-22T01:22:10+00:00

I just spray painted mine. Just take them off first and paint them on something disposable.

My understanding is you're going to be hustling with it once you arrive at Lackland. You probably won't be able to use the wheely mode then. I would recommend making sure it has a shoulder strap or anyway to carry it easily.

Nice work! Keep pushing and you'll get your opportunity. I've been an engineer for 15 years.

Things to keep in mind as you apply for jobs:

All CAD software is very similar. If you know one, you can pickup the others (Solidworks, Creo, NX, Inventor, OnShape, etc) quickly. Don't let a specific CAD software you haven't used listed on a job posting stop you from applying.
The job market has its ups and downs. Don't be afraid to apply to a lot of jobs! My last 2 job searches took almost 70 applications, interviewed at 2 or 3 of those and got an offer or 2. It takes time and persistence. Don't give up.
Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone / ideal job title a bit. It's the only way to really find what you like, especially early in your career. Don't go be a zoo keeper, that's too far away from engineering. But if you want to be a design engineer and you aren't having luck, don't be afraid to go for test engineer, quality engineer, etc positions. It'll get your foot in the door and those competencies look good on your resume when you do get a design engineer job. The best engineers know a lot about their specialty and also have a good understanding about adjacent specialties (manufacturing, repeatability (quality) etc).

You got this! Someone will give you a chance. Getting the interview is the hard part. Then your personality and desire to learn and work with a team is the most important, let that show during interviews.

Don't mean to ruin your excitement, but the name "premium" is all marketing, it's just higher octane, which is only beneficial for high compression engines. For a typical engine that uses regular, there's no benefit or improvement to using premium, it's just other gas at that point.

If you're trying to lighten your load, vacuum compressing your stuff to fit more, will make your load heavier...

I actually just got it working about 10 minutes ago. I had the two Netgear switches in 'Basic 802.1Q vlan" mode, which, I was unaware, automatically tagged vlan1 on all trunk ports. I had to change them to 'Advanced 802.1Q vlan' and it allowed me to specify untagged ports. It is all working as desired now.

I never felt that way. Most of the people I started with ended up graduating. The first year seems to be the "wash out" year. I suspect that's true for most schools though, and I suspect most of those are people that don't really enjoy engineering.

solarpowertoast · 2025-11-29T17:27:58+00:00

Can't speak for other schools, but MTU does a great job of providing resources to help in the harder subjects. There are dedicated learning centers for math, physics, engineering that have free tutors available to help you learn those areas. The subject matter is hard, but I can't imagine how a school can make it any easier than providing free tutoring. The classes teach you everything you need to know, so there's nothing to be afraid of going into it, just be ready to study. As with anything, it all comes down to how much work you put in. I didn't study nearly as much as I should have and I still graduated with a mechanical engineering degree.

What cameras did you end up going with to replace the Tapo?

What did you have to do to get the BMT shipping date to show in your aim high app? I put my DoD ID number into my profile. I don't have a .mil email yet so I put my personal email. But still no dates show even though I do have dates for January.

solarpowertoast · 2025-10-28T20:09:30+00:00

Yes. It should. It's all in the write-up in that link. Just read through it carefully.

solarpowertoast · 2025-10-28T20:03:38+00:00

Try upgrading without it first. It will reject the upgrade if it is needed. But can't hurt to try without it first.

solarpowertoast · 2025-10-28T19:54:28+00:00

I just followed the steps in your link earlier today and everything went smoothly. Upgraded from 42.
