So at this point I am leaning towards the pixel 8, and a good part of that is several years of (promised) support. Talk me out of it…
 
Holy smokes I finally saw Mercury! Second time in my life I've seen it!

Do you think The Rock ever picks up a movie script and says, Nah....this is just complete trash 🤔 or will he literally just do anything for a paycheck.

I think he exercises LOTS more discretion than Steven Seagal...which begs the question, do studios ever think before they send Seagal a script? ;) :D

Hypocrite Alert: Stanford Prof Accused of Using AI to Write Legal Document Attacking AI-Generated Deepfakes

A leading "misinformation expert" has come under fire for citing seemingly nonexistent sources in an affadavit supporting Minnesota's new law banning some AI-generated deepfakes. Opposing lawyers claim the Stanford professor used AI to write his legal document, which backfired when the system...

You bought the phone used, correct? Are these bubbles in the film that came already on the phone? If so, it’s not a screen protector in the “end-user” sense of the word. Refurbishers clean the screen and slap that soft protector on there to protect the screen from damage during further processing, handling and shipping: it is not intended to be used after the buyer gets it. So just peel it off and discard it, then use the phone without it or buy and apply a screen protector intended for that use.

If it is one you applied, and it’s the super-stiff “glass” type screen, the only way to get rid of them is to apply it correctly to start with. (All of this type I have used can be removed and re-mounted so long as you are very careful not to damage them during removal.)

If it’s the flimsy plastic type, you can work out small bubbles with the edge of a credit card (or the supplied squeegee). Be sure to keep the surface of the protector moistened with a very mild soap solution to help prevent scratching the screen protector. If they are large bubbles you can try working them out, but in my experience that’s a waste of time, so just replace it.

I far prefer the former “stiff” type. In my experience they are easier to apply and last far longer. And as noted you can carefully remove and re-use them, which if you have the phone long enough you will have to because moisture will eventually get in under it and (eventually) cause mild distortions in the view.

Good luck and enjoy the new phone, Milo!

Bought it from Verizon themselves though, I have put it in the bathroom after I took my shower this morning and it is one of those "Stiff type ones"
I also bought that at amazon with my mother's permission and my otterbox on it too.

Really it does not seem used..
