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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

Can Sundar Pichai please take the offer?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

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

Have they done layoffs yet?

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

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!!!!

Are you able to buy unlocked directly from Google? I typically avoid the carrier when I can.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 minutes ago

Buy an unlocked one from box box stores. Bought mine from best buy. Immediately threw GrapheneOS on it. Coming from a locked down Samsung s9 that I couldn't root to an degoogled android experience I didn't even have to root is fucking awesome!

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.

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