Fuck is Pixel going to go away? Apparently the pixel 9 sold well

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The Pixel 9 Pro is incredible. Writing this on it right now. I love it. Previously had the 6. I'll be sad if they go away, for real.

it's got 8 years of updates right? You think it'll last until Google comes back into a pro hardware phase?

So you're being "voluntary" fired? You can't quit when you want?

[–] hayes_@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 hours ago

You don’t get severance when you quit.

Severance is usually worse if you wait to get fired rather than taking a voluntary exit.

If you aren’t happy at a job, taking an offered exit is often a good decision.

Can Sundar Pichai please take the offer?

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago

And Prabhakar Raghavan aka worsener of search

[–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 5 points 8 hours ago

Ah yes, we need more laid off tech workers in the sector. We nearly don't have enough!

Hilarious, I just got a reach out for working on the Pixel camera

[–] kelargo@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Are you sure that wasn't a reach around, instead of reach out?

Verizon let me root my 2018 phone and stop installing candycrush on it you fucking pieces of shit!!!!

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Verizon will let you transfer the phone to a different carrier after like 3 months of owning the phone.

[–] icedterminal@lemmy.world 23 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

If you have any intent to play with Android OS variants or the stock OS, don't buy Verizon devices. Ever. They will not give you the decryption key or unlock key.

Apple, Google, Samsung and Motorola all sell devices on their websites as full price or up to 36 month financing. You can get them carrier unlocked. Motorola and Google offer bootloader unlocking should you want to.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

No, they will give me root access to the devices that I own. Or they will cease operations on this planet.
