I recently bought and then returned a used Verizon pixel 8 because I couldn't unlock the bootloader or even add a non Verizon eSIM.

My library estimates I'll be able to read it in 7 weeks, so thanks for the future surprise I'll forget about until then.

Did you move your videos section? Mine is at the top (but I'm also on mobile)

I have, it works better on Fedora than PopOS or ubuntu. There's actually a fix for the 17 inch version of my laptop in the main kernel, but it explicitly mentions the full model number so doesn't apply to my 13 inch version. I spent a long time trying and failing to figure out how to build a kernal with a patch for my model.

I switched to Linux on a laptop of mine because an update to windows caused it to not boot.

Now I get to deal with my keyboard backlight not working, sometimes the keyboard freezing on resume, my Bluetooth not connecting on the first try, and my wifi sometimes not working, but it boots fine every time.

When I dropped my pixel 5a the screen looked like a TV in a horror film. Were they lying for warranty purposes? Otherwise I can't see a reason not to tell a repair shop what actually happened.

"Blood is thicker than water" is up there. The full saying is "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" which means that family isn't the most import thing.

A small opening to side streets for pedestrians and bikes plus a couple bike racks would really improve big box stores for not much money.

Someone needs to convince US Banks of this

I would send them a jar from an animal in the Icelandic Phallological Museum. They never specified the species.

Drysuit. Wetsuits keep you warm, not dry.
