Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 it's nice being looked after. Praying for an update is belittling of yourself after paying premium is an absolute embarrassment.
Same here re: ROMs. I found Xiaomi the easiest to mod with ROMs and root.
Long live Google

You can download direct from Nord and Telegram. Updates are then done in-app. No Google store needed. That's how I noticed how applications are closed and opened again automatically.

17 will be your last Android version update for a Pixel 6.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
I'm thinking of getting a pixel fold when the 6 pro says goodbye to updates. Any advice on said device?

Personally I'd not touch a phone with a plastic foldable screen with a barge pole, in my opinion it'll always look dodgy and the plastic will eventually fail or get dirt under it, but that is just my opinion so you need to find proper reviews for longevity.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
plus they cost an absolute fortune to replace the screens . Would not touch one. I got tablets I do not use so a bigger screen phone not for me

Just for reference just because Google stops updates it does not mean the community does. There will be up to date ASOP roms available if you enjoy playing. Once you unlock the bootloader and get a custom recovery installed you can play to your hearts content

Got the portable aircon unit rigged up in the bedroom venting hot humid air up a disused chimney. Going to be a blessing in the next few days.
