Went not just disable automatic updates? Update when you have time for it.

No offense, but your response means you’re either the luckiest person in the world and live in a utopian HOA or much more realistically have zero experience with the stupid fucking cancer that is currently infesting more and more properties.

It took me years of paying lawyers and dealing with some of the stupidest and most stubborn people on the planet to try to install a charger near my spot in a shared garage. At my expense and with all requirements met, it was still easier to move than convince those fucking assholes that we’re in 2020 and cars use electricity.

No HOA on this planet will let you just run a cord even if you don’t consider that this would likely restrict you to level one charging and expose you to power theft.

What part of that confuses you? Hydrogen is better for cars VS batteries in every meaningful way in 2024. Long range, quick fill ups, zero harmful emissions, don’t need to live in SFH or rely on landlord/HOA to grant you the privilege of charging your car.

Hydrogen cell cars are electric cars that don’t rely on severely underdeveloped technology of batteries we have today.

I found almost no resources for this but it was mostly plug and play.

One thing I can suggest is keep everything same brand. My laptop has an Nvidia gpu built in and I tried using amd gpu without success. Spent about a week on it and tried various combination of drivers and settings. Nvidia just works.

Also Intel gpus require rebar enabled which almost none of the laptops support so I did not really consider them even though they were super attractive because of pricing.

The way I use it is set prime-select to Intel2 which disables built in Nvidia gpu and then I activate external gpu after login by running nvidia-smi as root after login. Then you just launch apps you want to use Nvidia gpu with

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia command_name arguments

Nvidia works great on Wayland. Even unusual configuration I’m running with egpu hooked up to a laptop with another Nvidia card built in. Zero issues. I’m allergic to Gnome, but KDE works beautifully.

Horrible battery. Doesn’t last even close to a full day. 18:00 here and my phone is at 6%. Will be dead in <1 hour. Was fully charged at 8:00. Typical use. I don’t play games on my phone.

What’s worse is it takes forever to charge compared to OP. 20W max. Wireless charging is only useful overnight. Takes like 6 hours.

Constant, fucking Bluetooth issues. I mean constant. There’s a bug with Samsung watch so every time I answer the phone caller cannot hear me until I cycle through speakers. Even without watch connected you never know which BT device will connect when answering the phone (if any.) Sometimes nothing at all works. My personal favorite is it will sometimes randomly switch to a different BT device mid call. I’ll be on headset and will suddenly start hearing the call through my watch.

Android auto works like shit. Wired is sort of tolerable, wireless barely works. Interrupting audio, constant disconnects or just refusal to connect.

Absolute shit reception. I didn’t think it was possible to have worse reception than iphone, but pixel is so much worse.

Overall 3/10. Love the spam call filtering and camera, but rest is my worst experience with a phone ever.

P. S. I’m down to 4% while I typed this message. Fuck pixel. Buy something else.

Please, please bring back wireless charging. I hate my Pixel 7 pro so much and want to go back to OP, but I can’t use a phone without wireless charging.

GOS cuts out the few reasons to even use pixel like call screening and Google camera. I hate Google as much as the next guy, but giving them money and then severely disabling your phone to avoid their services makes no sense to me.

Not many Android options out there. Basically just pixel or oneplus. Oneplus is dead to me until they bring back wireless charging and pixel is a trash phone with endless bugs and garbage battery life. Samsung ruined excellent hardware with garbage software with ads and bloat ware.

So anyway, if OP bring wireless charging back in next generation, I’ll tolerate a few non removable apps to use a phone that actually lasts all day and has working Bluetooth.

Not really. Like I said in a comment above, if they treat magic as advanced tech to be explored - sci fi. If it’s treated as a given - fantasy.

Lots of great horror sci fi, but definitely different genres.

Approach is different. If they treat magic as given without trying to understand it - fantasy. If they treat it as advanced tech - sci fi.

To be fair the first book is so much better than the rest that I think it should be a movie, not a show.

I always wonder why sci-fi gets mixed in with fantasy so much? It’s always a pain to find decent movie/show or a book because these categories are treated as the same thing.

In my mind they are trivial to separate and I struggle to think of a single book or a film/show that even comes close to crossing over.

I enjoy quality writing in either genre, but as I get older I gravitate towards sci-fi because most fantasy seems to be written for younger audience with some great exceptions like Chronicles of Amber or Witcher.

And just to stay on topic, I nominate Asprin’s Myth Adventures.

Being able to easily convert between various units makes the metric system the only one worth considering civilized.

Every time I see a wrench labeled with some insane fraction like 18/32 my eye starts twitching. I honestly cannot tell which size is bigger without dividing and converting to decimal.

Human civilization developed all kinds of dumb shit we’ve since discarded. Please let’s discard the idiotic units in my lifetime.

TY. I refuse to use idiotic units to such degree, my brain didn’t even flinch at completely wrong number I copy/pasted.

Whose foot? Chances are yours isn’t even a good approximation.

Jokes aside, there isn’t even such a thing as foot anymore. All these idiotic measurement units like feet and elbows have thankfully been deprecated and are now simply a name for a certain amount of civilized units. Foot is exactly 0.3048 meters since 1959.
