Teapots should never ask for forgiveness

The defect was not disclosed at time of purchase, and a dangerous fault cannot be dismissed due to warranty expiration. It is clearly a MANUFACTURER DEFFECT.

I wonder what buyer protection agencies will have to say about that...

TL;DR: do not buy Google products, folks.

Google offered a 100$ compensation through Pioneer only, and it has hidden costs(!).

Battery replacement is not offered in my country.

Google refuses to offer a direct refund to a bank account and is deflecting responsibility by stating my warranty has expired.

a man is looking out a window and says `` let me in '' . ALT: a man is looking out a window and says `` let me in '' .

If anyone is aware of a collective lawsuit in EU against Google in regards to Pixel 6A battery that not only can explode but was now "limited" by the new software update - I would really like to be a part of that.

Congrats!!!

Baby's first UE cutscene w/ @projectkvasir.bsky.social models.
Was figuring out how simple stuff works there to learn in-engine cinematography.

So here's your summer lo-fi banger you never asked for:

Why does it feel like 90% of movies and TV series produced nowadays are dramas, and the western modern "comedy" is either not funny, or is a drama in disguise?

Works as intended!

Have a cozy weekend, y'all!

Studio behind Oblivion Remastered, one of 2025's biggest hits, subject to mass layoffs Virtuos has reportedly been impacted by layoffs, affecting seven percent of staff.

Just saying that with the news like this the companies still have the audacity to demand relocation and offer subpar wages.

They got me.
I'm neither a k-pop fan, nor a US musical fan. But K-pop Demon Hunters got me nevertheless. Beautifully done ❤️

With how many layoffs we’ve had over the past several years, remote work should be the default. Requiring relocation at this point is unreasonable for the risk that we’re just going to get laid off two months, six months, a year in.

It helped me to learn about 3 stages of rest and NOT to expect lvl 3 activity from myself with lvl 1 energy 😄

Lvl1 Passive rest - stay in bed, watch a movie

Lvl2 Active rest - go for a walk/do sports

Lvl3 Recreation - social activities, creative activities

Stay rested, Lisy!

We are aware of the ridiculous amount of podcast already existing 😄. But if you're looking for something cozy, entertaining and with a thin icing of philosophy - you're in the right place.

Not my kitchen, Death Stranding! I need to work on @projectkvasir.bsky.social !

Amidst the horrors of the world, Alina @froshadowing.bsky.social and I decided to start a podcast to talk about culture in the context of history, philosophy and economy

First episode, dedicated to Andor Season 1, is coming out on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Look at the nice things the cool guys/girls are saying about the book!
P.1

What surprised me most was how often people struggling with clarity weren’t missing deep strategies—they were simply not doing the basics. The book is about that too: the simple things that are not easy. It's there as food for thought, but also as a tool to help you act.

This is more an essay than a manual, but it does include a practical framework for building clarity into your everyday work.
