P6P here had it since day one. My battery is not in the best shape, but not terrible either.

I just charge when it’s needed and adaptive charging has done a pretty good job of keeping the battery healthy.

Overall though at the end of the day I’m not sure there’s too much we as the user have control over.

What I KNOW is serving doesn’t make you an expert marksman. Most barely pass basic quals, so don’t spout that like some sort of badge of honor.

Provocative removed

“here durr, I served my opinion matters more” you supported the corporate machine while likely pushing 3 MOA chump.

external magazines - you have no clue what you’re talking about.

universal background checks.

Again you have no idea what you’re talking about. My heart aches for people like you full of opinions on a topic, yet completely lacking in basics of said topic.

Like Mexico where the schools have been hardened since the 80s and there are millions of guns and criminals?

Try again. The “Western nation” schtick is incorrect and getting stale.

Wow it’s almost like if you immerse yourself in nonsense and hyperbole then it will permeate every space you visit. Who would have thought?

It’s your feed and your preferences dude, false equivalency if I’ve ever seen one.

“minimal oversight and rules” he says. Tell us you’ve never bought a gun without telling us.

Please don’t speak about things you have no clue on. There are plenty of rules and restrictions. The fact that our federal government can’t or doesn’t enforce them properly means the law abiding citizen should suffer?

The fuck outta here with that nonsense.

Same thing with abortion and marijuana on the other side. If Republicans could lighten up on that stuff Democrats would never win an election again.

It cuts both ways.

Amazing in 2023 people still referencing that 30 year old battery University article.

And liquid screen protector with a physical screen protector? C’mon my guy it’s just a phone.

It is interesting that the price has already dropped on the P8 and is expected to continue to drop thru black Friday.

This is precisely why I never buy new anymore, having been burned by two previous Pixel releases in the past.

This chip situation doesn’t bode well for my continued Pixel use however.

Software is important but it isn’t everything, and like the article said raw horsepower does matter. For me. The most important things are battery, life display brightness, and cellular connectivity - something my pixel 6 Pro objectively fails at on all three fronts.

Combine that with all of the data theft that Google software utilizes, and I think I’m pretty much done.
