  • It is interesting that the price has already dropped on the P8 and is expected to continue to drop thru black Friday.

    This is precisely why I never buy new anymore, having been burned by two previous Pixel releases in the past.

    This chip situation doesn’t bode well for my continued Pixel use however.

    Software is important but it isn’t everything, and like the article said raw horsepower does matter. For me. The most important things are battery, life display brightness, and cellular connectivity - something my pixel 6 Pro objectively fails at on all three fronts.

    Combine that with all of the data theft that Google software utilizes, and I think I’m pretty much done.







  • Well, the idea is that there are “levels” to being sick. In CA this shit would never fly.

    I don’t even like calling it “sick” I call out for the day, period. I’m not calling in sick or calling in hung over or calling in for family reasons, I’m fucking NOT AVAILABLE for today.

    This is the bullshit that wfh has brought and of course not all companies are doing this.




  • You actually touched on something that really pisses me off about my 100% work from home job.

    It’s the fact that my boss can somehow justify that you roll yourself out of bed and log in. He literally uses the phrase sometimes “too sick to log in?” As a means of discouragement from calling out sick, or at the very least get some productivity out of you while you’re sick.

    Name a job that would try this shit in real life? When you’ve called out you’ve called out, it doesn’t mean reduced workload because you’re sick ffs.


  • This is an interesting idea. I am 100% work from home and I can tell you all that it’s not all roses.

    I have zero work friends, hell I’ve never met over 75% of them in real life. There is very little room for networking and skills building because I’m in my spare bedroom all the time. I’m glad I’m a little older but if I weren’t this would be a career killer in some regards.

    I have to think about what I’m going to eat every single day (no running off for lunch) and I’m expected to be on camera during our meetings.

    I have zero commute, but that just means I hardly get a chance to ride my motorcycle anymore.

    I’ve gone over my internet cap once, and because we’re at home, the AC or the heat or whatever needs to be ran 100% of the time I’m telling you it’s not all roses.



  • You’re not wrong those are all required by law except the mental health checks, but even then you are prohibited if you’ve had an involuntary stay in a mental institution.

    But those people aren’t interested in facts, only biased groupthink just look at how they show their thoughts with their downvotes because they have nothing intelligent to say.
