Wow, we actually have something in common

Can’t wait for TST to sue their way into owning the brand new Usha Vance School for Young Satanists

Huh, what happened to Oshi no Ko S2? Break this week?

First time playing, so close!

This happened to my wife a couple years ago, really freaked her out. She loves food, so it depressed her for almost two weeks to not get to enjoy anything

My book club is going to discuss Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte this week. I finished pretty early, so I’ve been listening to The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch. It’s also standalone sci-fi, though it’s doing the thing I don’t so much like where it oversimplifies some of its key tech. The prologue was fantastic!

Nice call-out, been using qBittorrent for a long while but never looked for an internal search! Did it take any extra work to get Nyaa functional? I’ll get myself situated after work today

Mine is how I flavored my paladin’s Spirit Guardians, so everything within 15 ft of me takes a boatload of shiny damage and walks slowly… Think I’m in good shape, if very lonely

Hi, Jesus here! Please line up

Good human

Not that new, looks like the same model released with Fallout 4

Correct!

I mean, Cat.

Huh, just watched a 12Tone video today with the exact same title. Good watch and great channel if you’re interested in pop music theory

The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman

No luck there, though I tried again at your suggestion and the other commenter’s (edit: found it in the settings as “Extend Unlock” instead of “Smart Lock”)

It’s my first Pixel, I switched from a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G, and there have been some transition aches. I ran into the Android Auto issue this week where the phone would connect to my car for a few seconds then disconnect for a minute repeatedly, and I miss Smart Lock options like keeping my phone unlocked while on home Wi-Fi or while connected to a trusted device. Any Pixel vets know of a similar function on the device? (Edit: Found it! They changed the feature name to Extend Unlock and hid it in the privacy settings.)

Echoing another comment, the phone runs very cool and the camera is excellent. The battery lasts about as long as the Note 20 Ultra’s under heavy use: if I’m running ReVanced or Twitch all day, it needs a charge around dinner time. I haven’t yet adjusted to using the assistant (never touched Bixby on the old phone, either) so I can’t speak to all the AI features added in.

Overall, felt some buyer’s remorse early on, but I think I’ll come to appreciate the Pixel 8 Pro as I get used to it and optimize it for my usage.

I thought the title was missing a hyphen connecting “anti-child” and “trafficking,” but no, turns out dude is a trafficking activist that hates kids

Funny enough, I have a switcher…for my keyboard and mouse. Didn’t even think about adding one for the video cables! Do you see any loss in quality with the bridge?

If I can find one with 2 HDMI ports, I’ll jump on it. I use my monitors for work-from-home, and my laptop dock only has displayport, so those ports are taken on my monitors. Rather not juggle cables when switching between PCs
