Windows 10 and Android are ownage and have never had a single bug or error. If you're having problems on either of those OS it means you're holding it wrong. Meanwhile my murdered-out Mac Mini had a router plugged into it from some sort of test thing from tech at work and it somehow thought it turned into a time capsule or something (from the CONSOLE LOG) and lagged out bigly trying to open some sorta backup sesh with it and hosed up my show. Bravo to OSX the biggest piece of poo poo OS on earth,

First they came for the chome, and I did not speak out because I was not a chome.
Then they came for the blob men and turtle, and I did not speak out because I was not a blob man turtle.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The Project Fi thread over in DYP is pretty funny these days. Almost everybody who bought a Nexus 5X or 6P is out of warranty, but Google keeps replacing defective phones anyway because they're trying to limit interest in a bunch of class action lawsuits that are brewing over them. Some people are even getting free upgrades to new-in-box Pixel phones for their Nexuses.

my 6p works perfectly and has never had a bug or error. my fi service owns and works everywhere including on the subway via tmob i think which is cool. its in near mint condition despite never using a case. these dyp users are installing bad software and breaking their flawless devices with their own stupidity. Calling these PEBKAC errors, OP. Ticket closed.

i love the actual fi service but the pixel phones are super flaky. my wife and I have both had to rma now.

stop trying to "go full YOSPOS" on your cell phone and your woes will evaporate. Use as intended and adhere to Sundar's glorious vision and you will be rewarded with the best drat cell phone on the market, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL.

no because then you might as well just go with t-mobile and get cheaper or unlimited data, zero-rated streaming, etc.

imo, fi is only a good choice if you use very little data, or if you live/work in an area where the multi-carrier aspect saves you from no coverage, or if your pattern of international travel fits well into its international coverage structure. I don't use lots of cell data so it's v cheap for me

fi costs the same as every other carrier with normal use and the reception and speeds own. the app is good and they treat you with some dignity unlike the pieces of poo poo at every other carrier. fi is extremely good, dont let the insane spergs in IYG sully your views on it with their craven minmaxing. i just treat it like normal, pay my $40, and get on with my life. Take care OP

I have used lovely mvnos for years and other than activations I think I've had to call customer support a single time. It's funny that people argue the Google phones have the benefit of fast updates when the updates are usually p likely to gently caress something up

I've never had an update gently caress anything up. I don't install bad software or otherwise "hack" my phone so it works perfectly. Consider the path of enlightenment and free yourself of bugs and errors.

Google is generous with cords and dongles. With my 6P I got 2 good rear end usb c cables (c to c with the super charger wall wart) and an a to c. Then with my Fi kit I got a cool very short a to c cable. Bravo to Google! 🎉

i was surprised to find out recently that ios doesn't have the automatic alert at data usage threshold that android does. on android i can say "hey let me know if i use up x GB before the end of the month" but i guess ios won't even automatically turn over the statistics on a set schedule?

i appreciate smythe's commitment to his gimmick, defending a trashfire of an os that's made of hacks upon hacks upon hacks on a platform designed to compete with an email pager from ten years ago, distributed on bargain basement hardware designed by the sloppiest pan-asian manufacturers

I'm not an "IT Guy" so I don't really concern myself or care about the processes and minutia that go about constructing the electronics I use in my daily life - but there is one simple truth that cannot be denied: Android is the best mobile telecommunications and entertainment platform around, bar none.
