It's not updates. I took care of those myself. It's fully up to date in all ways, just sitting there restarting.

These both seem like known issues with the pixel 8. Can someone tell me if the pixel 9 is better in the reliability department?

I finally decided I should complain about the almost weekly, and getting worse, networking issues (a reboot fixes it, though nothing else will). After talking to Google, they suggested I send the device in for repairs. "Uh.. ok. How many spare phones do YOU have?" "Let me see if there's an alternative".

So they sent me a replacement, putting a hold on my card so I send back mine. Sure. I can live with that.

New (refurbished, I'm pretty sure) phone arrived today. Spent the day reinstalling everything. The bank apps are the worst...

A little while ago, while watching a movie at home, I noticed the phone was constantly (like every few minutes) rebooting. Sigh.

Guess I'll be calling Google again tomorrow. What a pain.

There is an alternate universe where there is a fruit that has the flavour of an apple and the texture of a banana in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

This already exists. There's a banana (in Vietnam, but I'd assume not just there) that's smallish and rounder than most others which has a distinctly sour taste that reminds me strongly of apple. Ymmv, taste being a very subjective thing.

Account migration (self.boostforlemmy)
 

I don't suppose boost could add a "migrate to another instance" feature? 😅 Given that Lemmy is decentralized, and account migration is a thing and up to users, having support in the app would be really cool. Or maybe it's already there and I just don't know about it?

Cheers!
