So this happened to me one time when I was about 8 or 9 years old. My brother and I shared a room upstairs at my dad’s place. At this house, we had a family dog who was predominantly an outdoor dog who rarely came inside and certainly was never allowed to sleep inside.

One time, at the dead of night, I woke up to hearing footsteps that sounded like my dog quickly running up the stairs. Being tired and young, I just assumed my father had let the dog inside the house. However, I could not see what it was since it was extremely dark in the room. But anyways, I pet it and it licked my hand. I then heard it run to my brother’s bedside and he woke up to pet it too. Soon after, it ran down the stairs and left.

Fast-forward to the morning, my brother and I were eating breakfast with our dad. As we all chatted, I asked dad why he let the dog in over night. He responded by saying: “I didn’t let the dog in the house and noted how the doors were all locked.” (which made sense as my dad religiously locks doors). I told him about what happened: he said it must have been a dream. My brother interjected saying: “I experienced it too.” My dad’s face dropped and he became visibly freaked out.

To this day, I have zero explanation for what occurred that night and what thing I pet. It's easily the creepiest experience I can recall.

Edit: fix

I'm in the same boat as you, account deleted and all. Personally, I was never really that active on Reddit but I've enjoyed Lemmy and the positive community feel. So for me, I won't be going back since I actually enjoy using this platform. My only fear is that others will jump back to Reddit eventually and these communities may go quiet. I guess we'll see.

Yeah that was something that I also noticed too with the colour temperature. However, I tend to make my photos cooler. So for me it's something that I don't mind, but there have definitely been situations where it's even too cool for me, so I can understand that's frustration.

The good things you mentioned are great to hear! For some reason, the call quality somewhat lacked on my Pixel 5 and is just alright on my P6P.

Yeah being from AUS, I'm actually not too sure if I am missing some AI features. Which ones are you missing? Nonetheless, fingers crossed they reach all users sooner rather than later!

I am also the same with my phone's battery struggling when it is using mobile data compared to wifi. I'm hoping for your sake that it is just an optimisation issue and that it gets fixed over time. Especially as Google had mentioned the P8 was meant to be a more efficient product.

Personally, I'm hoping the Jade colourway somewhat resembles the Alpine Green iPhone colourway. Kinda like this (it was a quick edit so obviously it would be more refined).

I’ve been getting it a fair bit while using the app too, but I haven’t noticed any changes to my user experience after receiving the messages. So it could just be a minor bug for now, I guess.

Would have thought he'd get more than 25 games but this is still a big blow for the Grizzlies.

I think I know exactly how you're feeling, It's pretty similar to my experience tbh. Again, I'm the same, I think I only ever made two posts on Reddit and a handful of comments in the five years I had an account. Whereas I've probably already matched that output here in the few days. Perhaps that's why I've been enjoying Lemmy as much as I have?

Honestly, I think I'd be content if enough people stayed here (or joined over time) to help this become recognised by the mainstream as a genuine Reddit alternative.

Hopefully they continue to keep adding more faces before launch. I have enjoyed the current options however I wouldn't mind seeing what other choices google can provide!

Google Duo/Meets. I've used it for years and it's always been fairly solid for me.

The P6P doesn't have a macro lens I believe, so that will definitely be a nice quality of life improvement. Also the flat display is going to be something I can't wait for!

I did hear about the photosphere. I thought that may have been a bug and it was accidentally removed - I suppose not. I love the feature too, especially when travelling.

Good to know about the screen condition and trade in value. My screen has a very small crack near the top and I'm hoping it's not too much of an inconvenience when it comes time to trade in the phone haha. I'll have to test my luck using your method I reckon.

Also, how is the soft touch back? Much less slippery than the old glossy back?

If Google can get some high quality keyboards and cases it will help draw buyers.

I completely agree. Although they may not be marketing the tablet as a productivity device, I think many people (including myself) will still use it for light tasks while travelling or heading away for a long-weekend due to its portability. So at least providing people the option to purchase high-quality accessories would be great imo.

All that said, I love the Nexus and Pixel phones I've had, love the Pixel Buds, and recently got a Pixel watch. So the tablet is a solid maybe.

Seeing as the majority of those devices have gone on sale fairly quickly after launch, im hoping the same happens with the tablet, would make it pretty enticing for me tbh.

Overall, I'm keen to see what's to come. I'll post an update to this community (sub-Lemmy??) if I end up biting the bullet and getting the tablet around its release.

Funnily enough, that just happened to me before. But yeah exactly, fingers crossed it all gets ironed out soon🤞

Couldn't agree more tbh. Especially with the SoC. I understand the upside of a more powerful/efficient processor but this has rarely ever stuttered for me with my use case!

Yeah, I am definitely a fan of this setup. It looks great!

Keen to see the community grow over here!

Huge! Its great to see that'll he will be sticking around.

Was that homemade or purchased at a restaurant? Either way that looks unreal!

Yeah, I think seeing the real-world reviews will make-or-break the decision for me. Definitely hoping it's successful enough so that Google can justify making future iterations but I don't think I'll buy one for that reason. I think adding a first-party keyboard for cases like you just mentioned though would definitely help make that decision for me too.
