  • It’s hard for me as a value conscious person to recommend the 7a over the 6a even though I prefer the 7 a because of the wireless charging. But there’s ways to get the pixel 6a for $90 ( We’ll technically 50 but you have to buy a $40 plan). From metro pcs although you’ll have to wait 6 months to unlock it . But you only need to pay for the $40 plan onc.

    But even if you don’t want to deal with that hassle it’s easy to find it for under $200 on the reso market. Be by the holiday the pixel 7a will start to see sales for $350 or below. $250 on resale.

    It’s not that I even need wireless charging but I like to have it as a fail-safe in case the port breaks . It’s one of the most common things to break on a phone.



  • I’m going to keep using mine for a while. It’s not my only phone. I still use my LGV60 and my LG wing and a newer pixel sometimes. Those are all so big And I like the fact that the pixel 4a can fit in my front pocket.

    I’ll keep using them until the batteries aren’t workable anymore. Whatever risk there is with security patches I think is overshadowed by the environmental and financial downsides of tossing away perfectly good hardware.

    I’ll probably be fine using it for another year or so . As to what I would replace it with I’m not sure. Probably a used pixel just because they’re the best value proposition.

    So 5a has gets android, another year of updates and it can be a 100 Bucks on eBay. The pixel 6 and 6 pro are 200 to 275 on ebay and they are getting like 40 more months of updates.

    Samsung phones don’t have quite the same Compelling prices on the resal market .




  • Yeah this is basically the way the Democrats of operated my entire life and possibly longer.

    They claim there needs to be a strong Republican party and that they want bipartisanship. They already are starting off as being More right wing than every single European conservative party or any conservative party in the OECD basically on issues like health care and social policy.

    Same with the debt ceiling thing. There was a million ways around that besides caving to the Republicans on cutting food stamps.
