I'm switching back to my old Huawei from my Pixel because I don't want to buy a new phone just yet. The Huawei feels so much nicer and it still works fine, I only got a new phone because the usb port was getting temperamental but I've cleaned it and it's working again now.
The Huawei actually connects to the Guest Wifi at work so that's a big bonus already. Using my phone here was a headache because it's a mobile blackspot and my phone would just stop pulling data on the wifi.
Everyone stopped selling Huawei because they knew they'd be too powerful if they were allowed to continue in the west. At this point I'd gladly degooglefy my life for another one.
What didn't you like about the pixel?
It doesn't work with the wifi network at work and some of the ones at home. USB port is going to shit, they chose to not connect video out to the USB port, battery hasn't been great, updates make it worse, slow on some applications (like it gets so hot and slow on balatro but this phone has been fine), and I need to get a new phone now because of the massive camera bump. It must have been my keys that smashed the glass when I fell off my bike
I hear the screen size is tiny, and can only be one colour at a time
I'll finish the painting today then it's on to sewing the curtains and clothes repairs ๐
3rd coat of paint done , it's looking good ๐
Last night, I ate a chilli in an attempt to unblock my nose. Today, I am reaping the consequences. Just an upset stomach. Nose still very much blocked. Yay!
Have you tried nasal sprays?
Potentially better than a chili
Chili is more enjoyable.
For some
Yep, no bueno at the moment. I'm going to try FESS again today, but I've used the decongestant for three days already and can't use it anymore.
Good luck with. Have your tried the bowl of hot water with some Vicks and a towel over your head?
I'll try the bowl of hot water, but am allergic to Vicks! Thanks for the suggestion :)
Oh dang.....even the baby balsam? I think that's low (or free from) camphor.
There's steamer liquids you can get, bit if eucalyptus (if that's okay) and other stuff that helps with congestion.
Thanks for doing the thread Seagoon.
