The tremendously terrible times.

That title doesn't match the story/article

I find it wild this was even in the conversation or debatable... Who released this and didn't put controls regarding the suicide topic and immediately direct whoever, regardless of age to something not artificial. A Hotline, family etc... anything but engage with that topic.

Two cars I really wanted at various stages in my life...

1978-9 Trans Am 1993-5 Mazda RX-7

This one, however, did not get away :)

Ya, for my father (in his 70s) I was proud he gave it a real effort, but there were just too many changes and things that broke his workflow causing him to bail on it

Ya, it's annoying for sure... As I said, chicken and egg type thing. The market share has to be there before these companies will invest anything in linux. You'd think macos would be a gateway to them providing linux support but that doesn't seem to translate well.

I wish it were that easy. I'm pretty tech literate and I've had Linux installed on and off since the late 1990's. I'm running fedora desktop on a dual boot machine that also has windows 10. The PC will run windows 11 but just like everyone else I'm not excited to upgrade.

But I still have to hop over to windows to do things. I know it's a chicken and egg thing, but Linux just needs to get over the hump if ease of use and app availability.

Having to switch from. App1 to app1 that boat do say, CAD, is hard. It's a learning curve. And add that learning curve into also switching to Linux and it's overwhelming.

I actually got my dad on fedora, and he went all in and set it up, and worked quite diligently to get everything working for how he used his computer. He did this because his PC was fine but not windows 11 compatible. End the end there were just too many things that he struggled with and he broke down and bought a new PC that came with 11. One of the big issues he had was with documents. Syncing documents that he was editing.

He was OK relearning a new Libre Office but it was syncing it back to a Google drive or something that ultimately did not work for him. (I can't remember exactly what he was doing).

He ran with Fedora for a couple months before giving up

Fantastic photograph, and beautiful subjects

 

cross posting my own post here. Just realized there's two googlepixel communities. Just an FYI. Peak Design did acknowledge my email them, but no updates from them.

Have been using a P7P and PD case for quite a while now, we moved over to the PD ecosystem because we have both Android and Apple phones in the house and I wanted a way we could all just put our phones into a car mount and charge without having multiple wires.

I have an amazon dual charge wireless stand that is 'Made for Google' whatever that means. I use it to charge my P7P w/PD Every Day case, and my Pixel Buds.

I received my P8P PD Everyday case Monday, and yesterday I wanted to put it on the stand to charge it up a bit. Set it on there and after a bit noticed a red flashing light. It was NOT charging the phone. Tried placing it again, same issue.

As it turn out, the P8P case must have changed enough to cause some issues.

P7P + PD Case works fine P8P Naked works fine P8P + $13 amazon magsafe TPU case works fine P8P + PD case does not work.

I sent them an email yesterday with details, but buyer beware.

*Edit: One other thing about the PD case, is the camera bump protection (lip that is taller than the camera) seems like it's smaller. The P7P lip isn't huge, but the amazon TPU case covered a large part of the bump completely which would create a lot more protection. *

Stand:

Amazon case that works with stand.

 

I normally don't upgrade to the next series, but with trade-in,and pixel watch 2 deal I decided why not

While I didn't particularly love the curved P7P screen it did give you more desktop real estate. The 8s screen feels a tad squished in. Everything on screen is a bit smaller. I don't hate that but it's a surprise.

I just got my Peak Design case so I can use my PD mounts (motorcycle primarily). The case seems decent however, much like my opinion of the P7P case, I think it could use slightly more lip to protect the screen and camera bump. The screen lip is probably fine if you don't run a glass screen protector, adding that thickness really reduces the lip.

Otherwise, I have only really spent time setting it up, not much time using it yet :).

 

Just saw this in "all" and thought I'd share.

FCC vs. Miami (self.fccincinnati)
 

I cannot believe that ending... we played amazing, we did everything right, but apparently Miami can't lose now. Just absolutely gutted after that effort.

At least Kubo scored. Personally I think he should start instead of Boupendza.

 

With such a strong lineup, I was really disappointed in their showing, or lack of showing tonight against the crew.

Hope they put this behind them quickly because obviously, Miami is on fire and Wednesday is not gonna be easy.
