    Yeah, the Pixel sounds awesome.

    I have purchased a brand new smartphone for the first time since my Nokia N-Gage QD.
    I got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, and it's mindblowingly powerful for the money. I also like the "gold" much more than that pink hue Apple uses:

    Made a mistake while flashing software to it on the first day, though, and bricked it. Had to disassemble it completely and do this:

    Thankfully, even though it's made of metal and isn't supposed to be opened by the user, I managed to not damage it in absolutely any way and it's back to life now. I hope I never have to do that again.

    Nice phone.

    The Pixel will be my third phone since 2011. (Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S5, Pixel) I thought I was being conservative with my phones but that's still upgrading ever 2.5 years.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I guess I get a free Google Daydream with my Pixel order. It's only $80. But I would never have bought it standalone.

    Hey, Duke, do you follow any Chrome OS / Android / Chromebook news sites?

    I'm wondering about the likelihood Dell will update its Chromebook line in the next 3 months or so and poking around for advice.

    Considering I work for Dell, this should be something I could find out.

    I'm apparently not privy to this information. BUt there's still good news for Chromebooks.

    Not too impressed. Hardware isn't that much of a leap over The Pixel. Isn't even running Android 7.1 + Samsung bloatware = not a good experience.

    The screen is gorgeous. That's about all.

    I was thinking of buying a Pixel as my next phone when my iPhone breaks, but no headphone jack = no sale. LG or Samsung it is.

    I knew they were getting rid of it, it's why I got the first Pixel last month instead of waiting for the new one. Discounted, too.

    Ironically, I just bought a wireless headphone last week...

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’
