Cable Forum - What have you just bought?

My 23rd fountain pen, I do like them I have a Parker 51 I cannot find a date code but according to a FP page on Facebook they put it at around 1956, which if correct you are looking at around £250.

JL had a trade-in promo code - I only got £24 trade in value for the old phone (because of the state of the back), but they added a £125 discount code, which made the cost more palatable.

I also like the fact that Google have guaranteed Operating System and Security updates for the next seven years - my current phone stopped getting them after three years (still on Android 12).

What's your thoughts on the Pixel 8 Pro including battery life and does it play nice with Android Auto in your car?

Re: What have you just bought?

I have no issues with the battery life (seems to be lasting longer than my OnePlus 7 Pro when it was new), and I haven’t tried it with Android Auto yet - I’ll feed back when I do.

So far so good with the Pixel - transferred all the Apps over seamlessly, but it’s a PITA having to re-authenticate all my banking/shopping/mail Apps (but happy to do so, as it shows good security on behalf of the vendors).

No issues so far.

Thanks for highlighting this - I downloaded the free 3 day demo yesterday (played Zombies, which was fun), so I’ll look out for the deal.
