I thought they were $10,000

All I can think of is battery life may take a hit. OSX is incredible with battery life.

That said I get decent battery life on Linux. 9 hours idle or light use…maybe more. Not sure yet because I just replace the battery.

I have a cat, two dogs, married, high paying 30 hour a week job, no debt, several good friends, tight family. Still net negative.

My experience has been a net negative and I don’t event have it that bad.

Show me a non shit cellphone that I can use bank apps from that isn’t also from a shit company.

I’ve had many Android phones and only a few iPhones. iOS has been miles more stable and has much more predictable support.

Go outside. Pet an animal. Play in the snow if you have any. Get coffee with a friend. Etc.

More like between thanksgiving and the near year.

Maybe if we build it for ourselves. Looks beautifully simple. The encoding is probably a little trick but we can get there.

Just need a laser that can make marks in glass at different depth.

An ESP8266 with temp sensor and a script to pull public weather station data with your local temperature readings into a text file is likely the cheapest way.

Put people in prison for this.

I got burned on a pixel device and I’ll never go back. In my case the phone was fine but Google botched an update and it took a year to really sort out. I stopped using the phone after two months of near unusable phone functions like answering a call. Much later I tried it again and it worked fine.

So they might do updates for a while but are they shit updates?

Oh no…not upgrades…! And it might not stop there!? Oh no…

The south.

I can see a PA same day at a urgent care but not a doctor. So I can get meds for common things. But no ongoing care.

USA. Others have covered cost but I’d like to add how long it takes to see a doctor.

I have an established primary care physician that I’ve seen for years. Now though if I want an appointment I have to wait at least two months. So I have a membership with an urgent care near me that puts a $180 cap on visits to their chain of urgent cares. There is obviously no on going care with them but most of the time that’s okay.

A friend of mine doesn’t have an established PCP and to get one he must wait at least a calendar year….

I had a pixel phone once. A few months in the phone got a bag update that crippled the device. They fixed it nearly a year later. I had a Lagship not a flagship. #neverforget.

Not only does Google need to demonstrate that they will do updates. They have to do a good job at it.

Oh the VoIP provider is Google?

What? Many home lines are VoIP and can use services just fine. Are you talking about SMS based 2FA? That should work unless your carrier is broken. I have 2FA on my VoIP lines no problem.

Yeah what a bullshit title.
