How big are the zones?

I went to the nearest Google store. The time without a phone, I spent going and having a coffee.

We must all labor for Roko’s Basilisk.

What are you getting bottlenecked by? If it’s the GPU (which is most likely) I would just start by replacing that alone. I wouldn’t go all new unless you have money to burn.

If they cared enough, they would already not be doing it. Chances are they take the money and keep their mouths shut because they like being able to pay their bills.

Encephalopathy just means brain problem, like neuropathy is a nerve problem, cardiopathy is a heart problem, and so on.

What’s the net carbon emission and energy use? Pyrolysis is an energy-intensive process.

Their world, their rules. If you don’t like it, don’t play it.

Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.

I’ve seen articles mention search history as evidence for years, so no need to imagine.

Your battery is not one of the defective ones, then.

The 8 had known screen issues, and they were fixed even out of warranty. After six months it would have been within warranty, so you definitely should have been able to get that fixed. I know, I had to have mine replaced too.

I’ve had a 4, 6, and 8. No issues. But I know that if I do have hardware issues, Google will address them like these screen and battery issues.

I don’t think they’ve made the failure conditions public. That may not mitigate the risk.

It just goes to show you, you can have whole teams of NASA scientists on a project, but there’s still going to be some factor they didn’t think of when the rubber meets the road.

Or else what?

Because yours doesn’t have one of the batteries from the batch that catches fire.

And instead we’re both here wasting our time commenting. Is that more productive to you?

Just some?

It’s how the policy got implemented in the first place, so clearly it works.

tl;dr: silicone with little tiny PFAS tips. Supposedly the single molecule is safer than the long chains in Teflon.
