I’ve been thinking about it but Amazon here is not an option and other local shops are not very trustworthy. The warranty they give is about 3 months on average, or none at all.
I’ve bought phones on Lazada in Vietnam and everything went fine. And I’ve bought phones from some of the bigger chain phone shops here and it’s usually a one year warranty.
I know younsa8d somewhere you cant use amazon but something like this is perfect. A colleague at work uses a cheap moto phone and they are great considering they are ridiculously cheep. This on is £70 (about 2m vnd) compared to a current flagship phone that can cost over £1000
I’d get a generation or two old pixel, can get fully unlocked ones on Amazon for pretty cheap. Just replaced my mother’s pixel 2 with a pixel 5 for less than $200
Agreed. I’m about to update to the new (to me) Google Pixel, probably the 6a. (I think they’re on the 8 now?) The battery on my current pixel is not holding up. My last two phones were pixels and probably my next couple will be as well
Word of advice, pixel is good for software, camera but that’s it. Don’t take it I less you can use esim with physical sim, as it has NO double SIM slot , that’s a must have feature for me. So quite useless in most of ASIA.
Unlocked means it’s not tied to a carrier (mobile phone provider).
Not too sure about the rest of the world, but North America has a huge problem with carrier-locked devices. You buy a phone from YourCellProvider, and you’re stuck using the phone only with YourCellProvider.
What a pain. They finally ended this in Canada at the end of 2017. All phones sold since then have to be sold unlocked. Any phone sold before that time is likely still locked to a carrier, but that carrier must provide the unlock code for free upon request. Feels like they did this one right, and it is great to be able to keep an old flagship device for 5+ years and travel with it or move services around as needed.
It’s more because they’ll let you pay for the phone in two years with 0% APR, but you can’t just leave, not pay, and use the phone on another provider.
Before it used to be free or heavily discounted, but now it’s just a 0% APR credit service.
I can not recommend pixels anymore after owning my 7 pro for a year (been using google phones since the nexus 5x). Their own tensor chip is behind the competition by 2 years, but importantly they use a shitty modem which causes issues for a large portion of users.
Also pixels used to have a significantly better camera than others, but I feel that gap is so small now that it doesn’t matter at the high end, they’re trading blows now.
The only edge compared to the competition is getting access to google app features earlier than others, like magic eraser. Ain’t what it used to be anymore…
The single best feature and the only one that I looked for before buying my pixel was the custom ROM support. Installed grapheneos on day 1, nothing is the only other company in the market here that allows you to unlock bootloader without voiding the warranty so didn’t really have much choice to go for tbh. Would be nice if other ones like fairphone would expand out soon.
Got a steam mop - just use plain water, will never go back. If there’s a particularly dirty spot I may hit it with a little dish soap and a scrub brush, but otherwise it’s 99% steam cleaning.
Not OP, and I don’t have a brand recommendation, but a word of advice. If you get a steam mop, it may be beneficial to use distilled water and not tap water. If you have hard tap water, the junk will build up in your mop and you’ll need to clean it.
Tap water will work just fine, but it will effectively shorten the lifespan.
But I really can’t recommend a steam mop enough. No chemicals, just water and power. And it cleans even the nastiest of spills.
I agree with this, but honestly I use filtered water from my fridge. I considered it a bit of a middle ground, still harder than distilled, but better than tap.
I’ve only had it for about a year so I can’t speak for its longevity, but I can appreciate that it scrubs and steams at the same time and does a pretty good job removing dirt etc.
Get a flagship phone from a generation or two ago, I’m still using my Pixel 5 and I love this phone and they’re dirt cheap at the moment, both new and refurbished, because it’s 3 generations behind
Well, in my opinion the fingerprint sensor is far superior for one. Other than that it’s a little smaller than current generation phones but I think it’s a more manageable size than the current generation
Sorry, it’s from a sitcom (Superstore). It’s funny because after the main character yells that at a customer, she is shown mopping the floor in the next scene.
It’s my feel good show of the moment, sorry I used to give you a bad feel.
Real answer though, I asked the cleaning lady at my work if I could provide an unscented product for her to use on the floors because the Pine Sol gives me a headache. She said her favorite product for floors is Amway All Purpose Cleaner, she just uses the Pine Sol because clients like to “smell the clean.” You don’t have to join the pyramid selling scheme to get it anymore: www.amazon.com/…/B09BTPZGZN/
I use vinegar at home, but I just have shitty linoleum.
Yay internet, where every single person thinks they’re funny, huh? These guys, the emacs guys above, sometimes I wish people would act online as they do irl
Sort of a vibrant or vivid melancholy, maybe? Some songs by certain groups do that to me also - that song, "remind me" by royksopp always brings on those feelings. I think that listening to music makes you feel like everything in your body is opening up a little, loosening and relaxing and decompressing.
Beyond all the stuff you likely know, rest, pain reliever, nyquil, etc., I find that with a cold my life really goes to shit if my nose is running. It's god-damn miserable and keeps me from sleeping, and even lotioned tissues only delay the chafing (of my NOSE, you creeps!). A generic Claritin every 14-16 hours (I don't get a full 24 hours, but they do tend to work well) dries me out enough that I can ride it out.
Good luck, if thin drainage is troubling you, that might help even if you're not the mucus faucet that I turn into. Mostly it's just treat the most annoying symptoms and let your body heal.
Zinc just when it starts. These candies you let to dissolve in your mouth. One every two hours when the first symptoms start and if lucky, the next day the symptoms are gone.
In US they sell them with the brand name Cold-Eeze, and similar products are available in some EU countries but not in all of them.
