Are Democrats ok with this or are they also losing their shit?

Having the term "socialist" in his description "Democrat socialist of america" is gonna turn off a lot of people. It's a dirty word in the US.

Still think building their own site with apps I can throw on my devices is pretty involved.

And how do they get big? How do they get discovered? SEO ?

They're getting huge because of the platform.

I'm not saying google is not evil but it literally gives them their audience.

I watch YT more than anything else by a mile, and if my top subscription moved to their website, and I had to jump through hoops to watch them on my TV device, by installing a browser or something I probably would stop watching them or watch them way less. Another TV friendly app sure that wouldn't be a problem, but I don't see many doing that.

Like others have already said the 9 doesn't use light/optics but it still sucks compared to the one on the back. I use, but generally dislike the P9 finger print reader. I've gone so far as not using a screen protector to help that stupid thing. Still has way too many error reads

Who knew knowing you were not likely to die when you ride your bike on public roads increases peoples desire to ride on public roads.

I don't remember that, however it doesn't surprise me at least for a radius around your area. I'd be surprised if they had all of them from all the states

No doubt, lucky us, we get neither...

Right, but when everyone got phone books, those were only shared locally in the town. It would be pretty hard to figure out someones phone number from across the state/country without the internet unless you knew someone in the town.

You could also pay to be unlisted, which is a luxury long since gone. How cool would it be to make your data 'unlisted' by paying a small monthly fee.

And the exact same amount of accountability will be applied here.

Yep, exactly, when they screw me I'll leave

 

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.
