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.

I had a pixel 3 that was great. Moved to a 5 that was the best phone ever. Now have a 7 and it is solid.

Pixels are good.

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

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

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.
