Another half cocked pixel...

So why does Google keep giving these mid tier pixels. Especially when OnePlus and Samsung are giving way better options for the money..kinda makes me sad that OnePlus is out of the US market now.. my OnePlus 15 lasts me two days easily with the 7300 mah and snappy as hell . My pixel 9 and 10 xl still barely lasts me a whole day. Downgrades on the specs and no major upgrades... What's goin on Google???....

3b Fuel pump swap, Bosch 044/200 easy swap??

Hey guys so been working on getting my 91 200 back up and going. Cleaned it up a bit and after all new grounds, oil change, starter and few other minor things found that my fuel pump is completely dead. So i purchased a bosch 200 (bosch 044 replacement) How many have ran this pump and or installed it. Ive read mixed things that say changes have to be made when running this pump as far as fuel flow and it overpowering the stock system. Anyone have any insight on this, do you have to do more to run this on the stock setup or is it drop in and go??

Anyone else flash the new us update and it turned off or killed your esim?? I usually always wait to hear new update reviews and give it a couple of weeks before i flash the newest updates to keep from running into issues like this. And of course the one time i flash and just say screw it and just flash it, then of course it does that. smh thanks oneplus...

Open box not as described?? Am i not alone??? Extremely Pissed

So for the last few weeks ive been researching cameras for an updated secondary full frame camera. Made the decision to go with the Canon R8. Been watching prices to make sure i get the best deal but finally decided to bite the bullet and just get one from best buy being i have a total plus membership and would come with 2 year warranty. I look around my local area and new R8's in low supply and open boxes are non existent. Upon my search using their tool it shows theres an open box "Excellent condition" R8 with the kit lens for $1279.00 250 miles away from me in Mississippi. (I Live in Arkansas) i ponder the option of buying that vs a new being its almost $500 off the normal camera with kit lens price. I never leave things to chance and also being this was a 4 hour drive from me i wanted to make sure everything was good with the camera. So i try to call that local store to no avail being you cant get in contact with anyone at any best stores anymore.. (This is the dumbest anti consumer move ever done by any retailer btw. more on this later) I then even go into my local best buy near me thats 5 minutes from my house and ask if they can get in contact with other stores which they tell me that not even other stores or even some district managers cant even call into local stores, which is crazy. But at that point was assured by the staff that if am item states that if its in excellent condition is has to come essentially the same as a brand new in box product would come with original box, paperwork, all accessories, etc. If its not up to par they can always make adjustments to the price if need be. At that point i decided to bite the bullet and purchase it online for pickup. I then make the 4 hour trek to the Flowood, Mississippi Best Buy (store 938). I get there and let them know im here from my item. My GF runs off without my knowledge to go randomly buy a Tv apparently (lol ), but comes back right as there they are giving me the box for the camera. Its a plain cardboard box with security tape on it. So im thinking to myself ok cool the factory canon box and camera and stuff are inside of this box. I start to get my receipt but something tells to open the box and check everything out. I open said box then literally only to find the camera itself, the kit lens attached to it, and bubble wrap. No original box, no paperwork , no battery or battery charger, not even camera lens covers, or the body sensor cover to protect the camera from scratches or damage.. not to mention the camera is pretty dirty and theres obivious stratches and a few dings on the lens body. At that point obviously shocked then emotions switching to highly pissed. In my head im like i just drove 4 hours for this?? This was suppose to be an "excellent condition" item and include everything that comes with it like a brand new item. There also was no mention of anything missing on the website or anything regarding damages etc. Ive purchased plenty of open box items and they have all been as described . If they didnt have orignal box, or accessories, etc they always stated that and if that is the case they were never listed in excellent condition being items were missing. I explain to the guy at customer service that this is ridiculous and this was suppose to be an excellent condition item and include everything a new device does. This one was far from excellent and had nothing. After a back and forth i asked for the manager to try to address the situation, he then advises me that hes the team lead and the gm is not available for the rest of that day and will be back tomorrow. He says he can maybe give me a discount on replacement accessories and of maybe $100 off the item. But he didnt have the authority to do more as his gm would have to be the one to do it. It was getting close to closing and he assured me to call back the next day when the manager was there and sure they could work something more out. Even gave me an exact extension to dial to bypass the automated system and the crappy outsourced customer service and dial in directly to the store and talk to the manager. He said i could just refuse the item and get a refund or take the item and call back to get an adjustment done. At this point it was 9 pm and i still had another 4 drive back home.. Not wanting to have a wasted trip and knowing there was none local to me per the associates assurance i went ahead and took the item. I then preceded to call the store here with said extension given to me, multiple times of the last few days trying to get this addressed to no avail. Either dont get thru or the one time i get someone in geek squad i talk to the geek squad lead that says they will look into it. Only to get put on hold for 20 mins and get disconnected. I call and get connected to the outsourced customer service and they are no help as well and just say being its open box i will have to deal with the store i bought it from. Which is completely assine, this is a corp company and everything is tied to together. But to only go through all of this is crazy. Im currently still calling in and fighting trying to get something done on this and also waiting for the gm of said store to " get back from vacation " as i was told yesterday from the geek squad lead. Best Buy used to be a great store with good customer service, now its just gone down the tubes.. I dont understand it. Fingers crossed more can come of this and i can get this resolved... And sorry for the long read, and if feel like i need some consuling after this, but has anyone else had a similar experience like this?

[S] [USA-AR] Canon R50 w Dual lenses kit (18-45mm & 55-210mm) Mint only used twice

Up for sale with my open box like new Canon R50 24 megapixel mirrorless camera. This is the combo kit that comes with both the RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Standard Zoom Lens and the RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM telephoto lens. Great little well-rounded hybrid camera as it shoots 4K 30 fps uncropped. I bought it brand new to use as a b/c camera for certain video shoots but it's only been used maybe twice with less than 30 minutes of video shot and less than probably 20 photos taken as I've mainly just used my main film cameras to shoot most of my stuff. So it's like new still without a single scratch or damage of any kind. This comes with the original box, all paperwork, charger, battery, etc. Currently asking $780 shipped paypal g&s atm to recover funds from another film camera purchase. If not sold soon I will prob just sell to one of my local camera store or one of the guys online being I never have really used the thing and could use the recoupment of cash.

B9 s5 high flow cat front res delete exhaust clips

Haven't seen many clips of my exhaust setup most people either have high flow cats and or catless and straight piped, muffler deletes, or some other random exhaust (awe, bolts, etc. etc.) . But I think this is pretty much the most bang for the buck you can do. CTS turbo high flow cat running to my VPS front resonator delete while keeping the rest of the exhaust the factory valvetronic exhaust.. nice tone in comfort but quiet when I need to pull up to the neighborhood or leave early in the morning during cold starts. But as soon as you put it in dynamic it opens up and sounds pretty good..

Where has this been all my life bfree gluten free bread is the business

Omg this stuff is amazing! Where has this been all my life I've had so many different breads and they all let me down. I considered the Kroger simple truth to be the closest to real bread up untill now. But Randomly stumbled across it at a Walmart over the weekend and it's definitely the best gluten free bread I've ever had. Tastes just like real gluten based bread, it's normal sized, and super soft. They have this one , a wheat flavored one and a few others.If you haven't had this definitely go pick some up...
