Switched over to the Pixel 4a 5g today. That's in a new case. I am a big fan of new form factor. Just the right compromises, not too big and not too small.

It looks great! It sounds like the ideal balance.

Round 2 of the SE 2020, but it’s actually my phone for a little while.

 

[worldspy99]

How about some more phones?

 

[HeyCori]

Moar phones!!!!

We paid for 1/10 of our new granite kitchen counters last night (i.e. a non-binding deposit). And for once my wife didn't magically pick the most expensive thing they had.

 

[me just saying]

Echo Frames - 2nd generation. Already had the day one edition that was never open to the public. Went ahead and got a second pair since there was deep discount. I plan to put prescription lenses in one for when not wearing contacts.

Bought a dishwasher at Costco with the usual curse/blessing of Costco delivery.

"Free" delivery, installation and haul-away! Yay, at least for the delivery; annoyed the price was inflated to include installation which I can do, and haul-away since a property manager acquaintance wanted it.

Delivery people show up in the morning and say the installation people will be there shortly. Customer has to uninstall existing for the "free" installation and haul-away. So, I uninstall the existing and help load it onto a truck for the property manager. Night falls and no installers. Wait on hold forever with Costco support and they promise the installers will be next day or following morning at the latest. More nights fall. Costco now says they can have someone there by mid January. Unable to strangle them over the phone was forced to accept a $200 refund for my troubles. Blessings trump the curses.

Will post installed picture next week. Currently waiting for a $5 part for the install to arrive. Due by Wednesday.

And apparently, there may be just one Chinese factory that makes all dishwashers. Its a Maytag in a box labeled Whirlpool Corporation (see arrows).

Nice. That's another reason I hate having someone else do something I can do myself. I don't like being at the mercy of someone else's schedule.

Same here. And not just scheduling. I'll feel a lot more certain there won't be problems if I install it. I even do my own warranty work on my cars if the parts aren't too expensive. I won't scratch or dent it, wreck it in a test drive, or work with a hangover or pissed off because I just got dumped or on my first or last day or after getting chewed out by the boss, etc, etc.

I want to add that I love Maytag's sense of humor. Their video about installing dishwashers, says that after lifting the box off the dishwasher, turn the box upside down and use it for a trash container for packing, etc.. The thing is, both the top and bottom of the carton have a large square hole in the middle. So if you use the box for trash, when you lift it to discard it some/all of the trash will fall out thru the hole. LoL

Got the home fibre installed yesterday. Took one of the lower specs package - which is more than fine for the two of us. It's about USD22/month for 100MB unlimited. It also upgrades our mobile phones plans to unlimited data... and a free Samsung 43in TV. That should be good for my live Liverpool football games.

Did someone here say "Moar phones?"

What colour did you get?

What colour did you get?

It's the T-Mobile version. So it's only available in Henry Ford Black

 

[worldspy99]

The A71 5G is a very good device. I had mentally prepared myself to be disappointed since I have used the S20 before and am currently using the S20FE. But I am very pleased with it. Definitely a great phone for a lot of people.

Sure, I can do that.
