  • They’re still way overpriced - especially considering they don’t get the several years of extended support that the later models do. I lucked out and caught Mint Mobile clearing out their Pixel 7 Pro for $99 at the end of last year. The fingerprint reader is a serious PITA, so I’m still using my old phone as my daily driver. The P7P camera is fantastic, so I keep it around for that and as a test bed, but that’s about it.

    I wouldn’t pay more than roughly $300 (maybe $400, tops) at this point - and then only if I didn’t care too much about the fingerprint sensor. With the much shorter support frame, I don’t see how Google thinks it’s worth so much more now.




  • You can change your situation all you like, but it’s not going to change who you are (especially as this big brother world enabled by technology makes it virtually impossible to escape your past). If you’ve reached a point where you have virtually nothing left to motivate you to move forward (especially if it has been that way for a long time), then the significant effort it would take to try to save you is unlikely to be worth it (never mind finding anyone who would actually care enough to devote themselves to such a task) - particularly with an outcome that is FAR from certain to be a positive one.

    Some people just reach a point of being basically devoid of hope, and therefore pretty much dead inside.

    Don’t ask me how I know.








  • Yeah, I’m with you on that. I tend to install a ton of interesting apps when I see them, and categorize them into groups (many apps fit multiple groups) so when I’m looking to do something in particular the apps that might fill the need are together to try it with. If those search launchers allowed for adding multiple tags to each app for categorizing and searching, then they’d probably work well enough for me to try.
