Same. Just don't become too good at it. Now I have to write whitepapers and participate in speaker panels at conferences. Ugh.
Could be the battery. My 5a5g died after 3 years and it was the battery. I couldn't get it to boot that I could tell even while charging. Didn't try calling it though to see if it rings.
Sounds odd, but have had similar issues with a Nest cam. Main powered doorbell camera resets when someone rings it until I replaced the battery.
Can't remember if the 5a5g had a headphone jack (using 7 pro now), but you can kiss that goodbye. Fingerprint reader is in the screen now instead of the rear, but otherwise its been functionally similar.
The 8 line has extended support. If you care about security updates I'd check https://endoflife.date/pixel and pick what's affordable. (a) models are at the lowest end, followed by the regular 8/9, then pro models for the best hardware.
Graphene also recently added some options like:
- Cap charging to 80% to extend battery life.
- Fingerprint reader + 4-6 digit pin. My normal pin is long so I'm happy with this change as forcing my biometrics won't unlock it alone. Capped at 5 attempts.
- Kill switch pin. If forced to give up a pin it will factory wipe the phone.
That and old ass infected computers. I've used Linux almost exclusively for more than a decade. Fuck if I know how to fix your 10 year old windows desktop.
Can confirm, it is information they already have. Below is likely the API the telco exposes to the bureau. Each data point queried returns true, false, or a confidence score.
It is intended as an anti-fraud tool. Not saying I agree with it. Something like PGP is sufficient for building out a web-of-trust without needing to share my personal information.
You need downers to ride the uppers and get that perfect drug fueled circadian rhythm going.
Energy drinks during the day and a nice indica bong/dab rip, edible, or blunt in the evening.
Warning: If things have escalated to cocaine/meth/adderall to go up and opiates and a handy from the local masseuse to go down, you're probably riding the rhythm too hard.
/s please take care of yourself!
Tries to steal electron for Trump: 5 years probation
Steals and distributes Trump's tax records: 5 years prison and the judge wishing they could throw more against the terrorist to democracy
I accidentally pirate crap I have legitimate access to because I can't be bothered to figure out which damn platform its on. I have access to quite a few through work due to my industry at no out of pocket costs.
The times I try to actually search for something, it'll be listed on multiple platforms but 0 to 1 of those platforms will actually have what I'm looking for included with the subscription forcing me to manually check each one.
It is easier to just pirate.
When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.
- Goodhart's law
Advertisers made it a target to have a high review score so now they are just another advertising cost.
SEO did the same to the web.
Bots and now AI are infecting social spaces as users figured out reviews are now shit and would turn to special interest groups.
For the low price of billions and a decade of work they could build out hollow core fiber coast to coast to get the last 1/3 c.

I'm still wired headphones. I use FiiO JadeAudio KA3 DAC and Letshuoer S12 wired earbuds. Not as impressive as I hoped for the price. Mostly wish it went a touch louder.
