in our case the primary seating position is about 13 ft from the screen making the larger screen a little more important due to the layout. The couch is aligned with the side speakers where they can be and that's where the seating is

For me, for my use case it's primarily because of the size TV I want. Mine is going in the basement on a wall where I want the biggest TV I can afford. That means I could get an 83" screen in OLED or a 98-100" QLED. 15" difference is pretty dramatic.

The overall cost per vehicle is likely covering that market cap making them similarly profitable likely, at least IMHO since crar prices are fn stupid

The irony in that quote is thick

Combined over 20% last November, great times!!

Combined means we have:

first 1k kwh rate Above 1k kwh rate

And the above 1k kwh changes seasonally.

They lost me a while ago when they first started moving existing features behind paywalls.

Going public just means they'll need to find ways to grow 20% a year or be failing... Seems like subscription increases incoming! They no longer get my engagement or data so it won't impact me.

The article was interesting, and they are trying to say there's a chance that people who genetically have a lower HR, may tend to end up being more athletic which might lower it even more (and also put them at the higher scale of performance abilities) it's a lot of guessing.

And the last paragraph of the article was kinda stupid. Ain't nobody cruising around at 34bpm or 40bpm. I assume they mean to say if your training partners RHR is 34 to your mid 40's don't lose any sleep over it, but as worded using 'cruise around' and 'same mileage' makes it sound, to me, like they're referring to while exercising.

So if your training partner can cruise around with a 34 bpm heart rate while you sit in the mid-40s on the same mileage, that may reflect genetics as much as grit. That may be a frustrating or reassuring conclusion, and it may depend on which side of that heart rate threshold you sit on.

Indiana price increase in 2025 ~20% (I believe the new rates went into effect in November, and this does not include a base increase for having your house connected to the grid. I believe it was $10/mo increase making that % even larger.

Our bowl works pretty well, and is not tracking our data!

This would be pretty cool, if you build it I'll come :)

I moved away from Strava when they first started putting stuff behind a paywall, and just keep everything inside Garmin. But can't stand that they've come up with connect+ BS

I won't watch it there either

 

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.

 

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.
