How does everyone feel about Google Pixel phones?
  • Been using Pixel phones since the Pixel 2XL.

    It simply comes down to simplicity and updates.

    It always seems like with other manufacturers (especially Samsung) they try to throw everything they can at you to see what people might use. Whether that be 3 different apps for taking notes or 19 camera modes depending on what kind of food I'm taking a picture of.

    When it comes to updates, I know manufacturers have definitely stepped up their game, but I'm still burned out on updates from before I had a Pixel. I used Moto phones before then and would often wait a year after a major version release to get the update.

    Getting day 1 updates and being able to participate in betas is a big plus for me

  • Why do people dislike California?
  • Went to San Francisco and California in general for the first time this past May. I've grown up in the suburbs on the East Coast with a very conservative family.

    They were all losing their minds when I told them I was going to go. They were convinced I was going to get 16 times a day.

    The city and state as a whole was absolutely beautiful (visited Yosemite and got engaged). There was so much to do that I had never experienced as someone who grew up in the suburbs. There was only one time we felt a bit uncomfortable but we were aware of the situation and had plans to get out if need be.

    We rode public transportation (the horrors!) the whole time without any problem.

    I know it's not perfect by any means but to me the problem is fear mongering by the likes of Fox

  • What's a good podcast you like?
  • Land of the giants is one of my favorites

    Only about 1 season a year but each season is about the rise (and sometimes fall) of big tech companies

    Unexplainable is cool too, about weird sciencey things that we don't have an explanation for

  • Switching monitors between two machines
  • I have mine setup as so:

    2 HDMI cables from dock to monitors 2 display port cables from GPU to monitors

    When I plug in my laptop the monitors switch over to the dock HDMI ports, when I plug in my desktop the monitors switch over to the display port from my GPU

  • Have there always been this many pressure washing / window cleaning businesses?

    I feel like I see signs everywhere now advertising it. Has this always been the case or just recently now that it's a popular internet job
