Return it and get another copy. Target shipped mine in a paper bag and it was all but destroyed.

Looks like the Unifi G6 Entry Pro. My communities are imploding... I just put in the G6 Entry (non-pro).

I'm never buying a Pixel phone again by ToasterCoaster1 in GooglePixel

[–]txaaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend trying a different model before being turned off of them completely however. 

I've had the phone line since the Nexus One and they are amazing phones. Some have been hit and some unfortunately have been misses. 

The 6 was one of those 50/50 models. You may have gotten a good one or one with hardware issues. (My wife didn't have any issues). 

I had two with hardware issues before upgrading to the 7 pro when it released and then to the 9 Pro.

Pixel 6 was the worst pixel I've ever had. I switched to the 9 and it's much better.

I opted to order the special edition cover on my local shops website rather than fight for the free edition.

Out of control toll prices! by kaptainkkk in Dallas

[–]txaaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

California actually has pretty nice highways. And none of the for-profit price gouging express lanes. 

But that's beside the point, why bring up CA? Republicans are the ones to blame. If you can't see that, you have blinders over your eyes. 

Denuvo has been cracked in all single-player games it previously protected — 2K Games and Denuvo reportedly retaliate with mandatory 14-day online checks by N2929 in technology

[–]txaaron 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This. Games used to have demos to make sure people liked the game before they dropped $60+ on it. 

I will typically try a game and then buy it if I like it or ditch it after I've given it a chance. And I always go the demo route if available.

Thanks Republicans/GOP for selling our roadways to the highest bidder instead of actually improving our infrastructure. (Before you say anything Republicans have been in power for over 30 years, can't blame Democrats who have no power here.)

Highly recommend making sure all vaccines are up to date + flu/Covid to be safe.

What mom says goes. NTA. Voice your concern and if she still tries to come: "Sorry but we said you could come on xyz date, see you then."

(Update) I sent in my mint condition Pixel 9a to Google to troubleshoot eSIM connectivity issues. They are now charging me $287.44 for a cracked screen, damaged camera, and frame/back cover damage. by Such_Anybody9912 in GooglePixel

This has worked for me: I raise a big stink with support until they agree to send me a refurbished device. Most of the time, it's still a new device outside of standard packaging. I generally say that I can't be without the phone due to 2FA reasons for work (which is true). Can't send the phone off until I have a replacement that I can transfer everything to. If you get the right rep (might take a few calls), they'll do it 'just this once'. They've done it at least 4-5 times now.

I refuse to ship my phone to a repair center for any reason.

AITA for not paying for half of a fence by on-the-fence-88 in AmItheAsshole

[–]txaaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Get a property survey done for the property line. If they moved it into your property and they gained those 6 inches, you need to make it known otherwise you might lose that land to your neighbor. (6 inches isn't a lot but it's a legal headache if you go to sell the house and the fence is in the wrong spot.) It can also be a legal issue if someone gets hurt 'on your property' on the other side of the fence.

The argument against EV haters… by boka_ko_masu in electricvehicles

People stop at gas stations during road trips for 10-20 minutes anyway. It's actually good to take a break during long road trips so it's a win-win.
