  • I also have a Pixel 7, and I bought some Pixel Buds Pros during the Amazon deal days for $120. I’d say they’re definitely worth it.

    I was using 1st gen AirPods Pros, which were fine, but they never quite fit right in my ears regardless of which tips I used. The Pixel Buds, on the other hand, fit snugly and provide a good seal which makes active noise cancellation excellent. They also have great sound and call quality.

    The only drawback is that the touch volume control is super finicky to the point that I just use my phone.







  • Bit of an aside, but my wife needed a new phone and couldn’t wait until now, so she got an iPhone 14 Pro. She had backed up her old phone to iCloud and it was updated to the latest version of iOS 16. Setting up the new iPhone from iCloud was an absolutely hellish experience. For whatever reason, the new phone would refuse to install the newest point release of iOS 16, so whenever it would try to restore from iCloud backup it couldn’t because the backup was created with a newer iOS version. I had to wipe the new phone and restart the restore process 4 times before it finally completed the iOS update and could restore the backup. And one of those times it started to install the software update but just froze after about an hour. Even after it restored from backup, it took another hour for everything (texts, photos, emails) to sync over. I’ve never before experienced this with an iPhone.

    I’m pretty sure this is a reference to Austin Powers, where he’s giving the Irish hitman a swirly in a casino bathroom and yelling “WHO DOES NUMBER 2 WORK FOR” while a gambler played by Tom Arnold in the next stall is trying to encourage him on.
