Their support is top-notch as well. My Instinct started having serious battery life issues a few months out of warranty. They still replaced it no questions asked when I reached out to their support and asked if they offer a battery replacement service. That said, the Instinct at least isn't a true smart watch. It doesn't run apps, isn't touchscreen, don't have NFC, etc.
I mean, a substantial portion of the voting public willingly absorbs straight right-wing propaganda 24/7/365. When they consider Fox "news" as a leftist rag you know they are too far gone.
I have to imagine more are now scrambling to flip and get a deal. Hall got off without even a slap on the wrist in return for testifying. Seems like Fani Willis really knows what she is doing.
No the temper tantrum is pretty much constant at this point. That's how the GQP thrive, whip up their base to get angry against an imaginary bogeyman. Gay people, trans people, minorities, abortions, dems taking away guns, socialism, whatever. It's like that meme, they don't want to be informed they want to be angry.
In a pretrial ruling on Tuesday, a Judge Arthur Engoron ordered the cancelation of the Trump Organization's business certificates in the state after determining that Trump submitted "fraudulent valuations" for assets that were then used by himself, his eldest sons and his business to obtain better loan and insurance terms.
Tiny lot + aforementioned old growth trees means that's also not viable. :( My "best" option (which I have) is a nat gas backup generator for when the grid goes down. It's expensive, and very much NOT a clean energy source, but it's what I have to work with. I work 100% from home and need full-time power.
I mean, he HAS been egging on a shutdown. But it doesn't matter what the informed amongst us think, Fox "news" will spin it that Biden alone shut the government down. And just like everything else the cult will lap it up without a second thought.
I like Samsung hardware a LOT, they are usually pretty cutting edge. I'm decidedly less a fan of their software. They run a custom launcher which is very meh.
Contrasted with Google, their hardware leaves a lot to be desired especially at the flagship price. The software (stock Android) is solid though. You are also guaranteed updates, I believe now the Pixel 8 is for 7 years. I don't know of any other Android devices that will get updates for that long.
Google support is also pretty lackluster. I haven't had to deal with Samsung so cannot comment there. I hear it's better.
The orientation of my house sucks and our neighborhood has many old growth trees. I wish I could be that asshole, but after running the numbers I don't even break even over the expected lifespan of the panels. :(
I've been feeling this for a bit now, as unfortunate as it is I don't see this ending without violence. The lingering question remains, who actually "wins" when the dust settles. Win of course being a loose term as the country will be truly broken at that point.
Right thing to do and political motivation aside the "good for the nation as a whole" cannot possibly be understated. We NEED less outsourcing and dependencies on foreign entities. The CHIPS act was a great step and I hope Intel continues with their commitments. We need to ensure similar things happen in the automotive space and beyond.
The old "trust but verify" position. Agreed 100%. If everything is perfectly safe there should be no reason not to have multiple independent, third-parties with no skin in the game to verify. This is good for everyone as it reassures the fishermen, those buying fish, and really the rest of the world.
