Sorry if this has been posted before. My first time posting something other than comments here lol

When I first got the Centerpiece I gotta be honest I was pretty underwhelmed, frustrated, and a little disappointed. But I’ve been using it daily for months now and… idk it’s grown on me. It’s not the keyboard they originally envisioned, it’s not everything I was hoping for, but for what it is, I’ve grown to really like it.

I’m still not a bit fan of the “switches”, but I’ve gotten used to them. They’re very loud though. The viewing angle is still bad.. very bad. But I can touch-type decently so it’s not a big deal to me. It’s missing features most of my other boards have.. like a volume knob. I also think the plain black case is just kinda lame.

Overall it’s not great. But it does what it says on the box, and it has worked reliably with no issues. I just wish it was.. better. I wish the Flux keyboard was real. That’s the one I’ve always really had my eye on. But until I see it shipping I ain’t getting my hopes up.

What’s your experience with the centerpiece?

Somebody, nobody knows exactly who or when, put dozens and dozens of these Jesus figures on completely random surfaces throughout my entire building. They at least had the presence of mind to not put them on anybody's personal belongings, but that was the only way they limited himself. All of the statues have been glued down, to add to the vexation.

Edit: Well, this blew up rather unexpectedly. Thank you for the awards, everybody!

She seems like a genuinely sweet person, but goddamn is she rich

INSANE that you can still pre order this.

I noticed I was going to be charged $100 from "Google Payment Corp", and I couldn't figure out what the charge was for. So I hit up support chat. "Victoria" tells me the charge is for Nest Aware, and tells me to cancel my Nest Aware subscription. I already explained to her that it's not listed. Then she tells me it's 'renamed; as Google Home Premium. But I can't cancel that either, since it's included in my Google One membership. Then she tells me she can connect me with the Google One team so they can cancel Home Premium. So I get connected with 'Harikala' who tries (and fails) to explain that I have a trial for Google One Ai Pro, and once it's up I'll be charged the $100. That is the membership that includes the Home Premium which includes Nest Aware. It's alllll packaged in this one thing. Instead of explaining that, he tells me I can remove the Nest Aware "add-on". Which is BS, you have to downgrade to a different plan. I ended up figuring this out myself and just rage quitting the chat.
