Picture of Last Items You Bought (NO WEAPONS)

AlpineBoost · 12-17-2021, 05:31 PM

The Pixel 6 Pro is really nice. I had a Galaxy Nexus (developed by Google and Samsung) which I loved for whatever reason prior to getting a Galaxy S7. After over 5 years with the S7 I finally parted ways with it for a S21 on Verizon's Thanksgiving week deal as an even trade. I was pretty skeptical that I would actually receive $800 for an old S7, even though they said I would, yet was glad to see this message come through on Wednesday. While I'm sure it's not much different in size, I really went with the plain S21 due to it being on the smaller side.

Agreed.

So you got an S21 for $800 with the trade-in of your S7 or they gave you $800 credit towards a new S21? Sorry, I got confused there.

What I'm pleased about is the fact the Pixel 6 Pro is a relative bargain at $899 (128GB). Compared to the S21 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro (or whatever it's called), it's a steal IMHO. I came from an older Pixel 3 which was a great phone and much smaller. They gave me a $600 credit for a trade-in which surprised me. $300 out of pocket ain't bad at all.

It took me a while to get used to this monster sized phone but I like it now. Camera is phenomenal. I got used to having a more pure Android experience w/o all the crap that most manufactures force into their phones, including Samsung. Some features are exclusive to the Pixel which I like.

Magic Eraser feature is pretty cool.

They gave me $800 trade in for my S7 so the S21, which is normally $800 now, was completely free. Yeah, you got a good deal as well. I prefer a more pure Android experience as well but it is what it is... maybe I'll try again in another 5 years lol

That is a spectacular monitor! To $$$$ currently but like all electronics, it will reduce eventually.

Agreed. That's my hope as well.

Probably an immature impulse buy...but sometimes you gotta know how it's responding before track day.

Nice part - magnetizes right on the center speaker.

A second 3D printer and some E85 goodies.

Cancelled season tickets when Manny Diaz was hired. He’s gone so I’m back.

Received my new video card 2 days ago. Extra power cables arriving today, so installation this evening. It's a monster! I can't wait!

I take it whatever it is that you keep in the jars isn't invisible? Lol.

*shrug* because I need more expensive hobbies to tinker with

Although not invisible, it disappears quickly.

Something tells me I'd enjoy the content of your jars as opposed to the other subject being referenced (before being vanished).

It just occurred to me what the jars you are referencing were for. I'm a little slow today.

The contents of my jars are something to behold.

Lol, that's okay. I'm fairly certain very few people understood the reference. It was a short lived topic before someone got their panties in a bunch. My point is still the same. I want what's in your jar if given a choice.

Ahh that's just the keyset that the keyboard is displayed with. I still have to buy keys and crap for it.

Oh I see. I was gonna say thank goodness for Japanese Microsoft IME if needing to write in Japanese language. Much easier than trying to remember the layout of that keyboard.
