A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I just upgraded from my trusty Pixel 4a to a refurbished Pixel 8, it would have turned 4 years old next week. The battery was completely shot at the end, I got maybe 2½ hours of screentime.
I would have been perfectly happy with just swapping the battery and using it for the next four years, this p8 doesn't really do anything new at all, it just does all the same things slightly faster.
But I got a good deal on it, so meh.
