  • Google launches Extended Repair Program for Pixel 7a battery

    Jump

  • I'm on my third Pixel 7 from Google.

    The other two both had severe screen separation occurring from the top-left of the display.

    We never confirmed it was the battery swelling, but I can't think of any other reason. I charge my Pixel 7 wirelessly every night.

    Google replaced my phone for free both times (although I had to fight for it with multiple demanding emails).

    Honestly feels like the Pixel brand is on the verge of a huge controversy if these "battery programmes" keep continuing. Let's hope Google stopped using cheap battery suppliers these days.

  • That's gotta be the most American thing I've ever heard - your refund going through a third party who takes a 30% cut. What a joke.

  • I'm in the UK and today I got asked whether I wanted to leave this on or not - it just notified me and asked me to confirm my consent.

    So I think this article's headline is slightly misleading - Google is actively informing users and asking them to confirm their consent.

  • Pixel 11's Tensor G6 will reportedly use 2nm process at TSMC, no longer lagging behind

  • I don't think you're Google's target market to be fair.

  • Let him out 😢

  • Moths are usually slow enough to catch in your hand. They're not gonna bite so they're pretty easy to take outside manually.

    Or another trick is to use light to coerce them into another room, like a bathroom. Then leave the window open and the door shut and by morning they'll have gone out the window.

  • Pixel 11's Tensor G6 will reportedly use 2nm process at TSMC, no longer lagging behind

    Jump

  • Yep. It's usually only people who check benchmark numbers or have an anti-Pixel bias that think Tensor is a bad CPU. The only issue I've really had with my 7's CPU is thermals, which has improved with every generation (or so I'm led to believe). Even then, it's just having a slightly warmer phone when recording videos and stuff. I'm sure it's bad for the phone's longevity but I've never noticed any throttling. I don't play intensive games on my phone though because gaming on any phone is an awful experience.

  • My Pixel 7 still runs absolutely fine but I won't lie, I am looking forward to upgrading either this year (P10P) or next (P11P)!

    Almost makes sense to skip the 10 series so Google can iron out their new Tensor design, but we'll see soon enough how it performs.

  • Do you remember Windows 95? How about Windows 96?

  • I do kinda wish we had gotten WinFS. All the "ideas" of it seemed cool, just impossible to implement without breaking every existing application.

  • Seriously. I'm only in my mid-thirties but I'd sign a document tomorrow if it secured my right to end myself if I'm unable to do basic things like eat, use a toilet and live without restriction.

    Ok maybe not tomorrow. But I'd want to do it quick before the inevitable senility kicks in!

  • Thankfully I'm not American so have waaaay more protections from "evil corporations" than you. But you sound like you should start wearing tinfoil around your brain to stop them from reading your thoughts - I mean, why wouldn't they if they could, right?

    Google isn't sharing your fingerprint to the government, mate. Let's be serious.

  • This site is almost worse than Reddit sometimes with the hyperbole and the nutty takes. No, Google isn't about to abuse its position, squander decades of goodwill and open itself up to regulatory hell to sell biometric data to some mythical boogie man.
