Destined for 'classic' status. Really just amazing, all of it:
See if you can spot the swamp-creatures' parade led by Zombie Pete Hegseth; and the Stephen Millerbat.

Hi! The Oxygen 16 OTA rendered the touchscreen on my 12 Pro unusable and it took weeks to qualify me for repair return, then their service contractor had the phone for a month without communication, then they shipped it back without packing material in a smashed box left outdoors in double-digit-below-zero weather without labeling warning not to do that, and they had removed and retained the SIM tray rendering the phone inoperable in any event. I had to buy a third party SIM tray, then mine arrived back from them after weeks of numerous unanswered emails, followed by an offer of a $10 gift voucher. On balance, entirely awful experience.

I live in a remote, rural area where being without reliable communication is death-defying.

That was about three weeks ago and now the same thing is happening: the touchscreen is becoming unresponsive. I can turn the display off but it only comes on after random number of attempts. I could shut down to bootloader (I think? I get that confused with Recovery. It's the one with language selection.) but then I can't get it to properly reboot because that too requires a tap.

When I can get it to reboot the touchscreen sometimes works fine for awhile (a shrinking while). But sometimes not. Attempting to reboot is taking up a large part of my day.

Thinking of a Pixel 10; any thoughts?

Any strongly-held suggestions, particularly on my backup/restore options, going to a different phone?

Very sad to leave OnePlus. We have had several. I feel they owe me a new phone. I'd be happy with a reconditioned 12 or up, if it just worked. But I am not envisioning that likelihood.

Hi, has anyone compared these head to head? I like the idea that the Forester has an available manual transmission. The Mazda looks reliable and very fun to drive. The frontend/grille looks kinda stupid.

We're in very rural northern Vermont with quite a few dirt roads, usually but not always pretty well maintained.

Car dealerships aren't close by. The Subaru dealer is just under an hour drive, the Mazda/Volkswagen dealership just over an hour and a half each way. Locally we have Ford, GMC/Chevy, and Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge.

I'd probably buy new this time although I've had good luck buying 'certified' used cars off of leases, most recently a 2015 Audi A3 off of a 36-month lease cancelled after 24 I think? so pretty close to new - with manufacturer + dealer warranties; someone else having eaten the depreciation; low mileage, and full confidence that scheduled maintenance has been adhered to, prior to my taking ownership. Comfort and tech, of course reliability, and ease of third-party servicing and parts are all considerations for me.

Reasoned opinions very welcome; TIA for any thoughts at all. Buying is hard.

In a Reddit discussion titled, "The clowns in the circus are just there to distract us from the ring leaders" [r/fednews] I posted a comment which was removed for the stated reason of inciting violence. Because I named names. Names of the overprivileged, intentional parasites who run the show — for whom the orange pus-globule is but a jestering, disruptive diversion on a short but completely invisible leash. I did not call outright for their throats to be slit or garotted nor for their torsos to be pressed between stones, although I designated them all the #commonEnemiesOfTheDemos and offered for historical context a small selection of hardware used in the French Revolution and Imperial China in order to suppress those Societies' own flavors of parasitic aristocracy.

I was suspended from Reddit, for having typed:.
