Re: Recent Purchases
just bought a Google Pixel 8, to replace my Pixel 4a. The price was $549, which is a lot for me! I am feeling uncertain. The Pixel 4a lasted a solid three years. This damn thing better last at least six years

Bought two Homepad Mini’s, they both look good, and work really well with the Apple TV.

Team Pixel. I've had the original, 4A, 6A, and now a 7A. All unlocked. They're all solid, dependable phones with great cameras.

My strategy to extend the life of my new phone is to not use it very much

Thermal camera. Interesting to see so many defects in the walls and find where hot air is leaking, but probably would have been better to rent.
