I have a 6 Pro.

The brightness adjustment sucks, basically 50% of the slider does nothing. Also randomly dims at top brightness and won’t let me go back to max brightness manually.

Fingerprint sensor is complete and total shit. I maybe get 10% success rate unlocking phone, while app fingerprint unlock is at 80% success.

Google disabled the HDMI out for no reason other than they want you to use Chromecast.

Battery is good and wireless charging is good with a branded Google wireless charger, pathetic with any aftermarket wireless charger.

Not major issues but the brightness and fingerprint issues are an annoyance several times a day and it just builds up, you know?

I get all the updates and the Google specific features are great. Camera is fine. Works well with Mint Mobile. I get good 5G in my area where I didn’t get good reception on my last phone with same service.

I would probably go back to OnePlus or try NothingPhone, wouldn’t do a Pixel again.

The Republicans party is very much elderly people, uneducated people, and religious people.

The old people are dying, religion is on a steady decline.

The thing is that Republicans show up to vote because their bubble is largely fear driven politics.

They also have gerrymandering on their side, they limit polling places, they unconstitutionally use poll taxes that disproportionately affect minorities, they make voting harder by eliminating vote by mail… In short, they cheat like fuckin crazy and rile up their base to get out and vote.

I would not agree that they’re gonna disappear by 2028, but they are waning.

Globally, far right politicians are getting more votes.

GOP will be around for decades or more.
