The Steam controller was ahead of its time

Jump

Its really frustrating they haven't released the steam controller 2 modeled after the steamdeck, because it makes the steamdeck not as useful for docking situations. You get used to the 4 back paddle buttons and then dock it and try and use the steam controller and it's missing the extra 2 back buttons, and other analog stick, so your muscle impulses are thrown off when playing your favorite games.

A complete inability to operate a goddamn calendar

Jump

It might still be salvageable, if you can find lodgings and arrangments in the general area for the correct week (obviously with the event going on, you might not be able to find prime locations anymore) and then ask the airbnb you accidentally booked if you can get a refund, explaining what happened and how stupid you feel. It depends on if the airbnb is operated by the owner, or a business. If its the owner they might let you off the hook, understanding how much of a devastating fuck-up it is.

Google is sending out emails to 6a owners affected by potential battery issues

Jump

If its anything like my experience, you might as well just buy a new phone now. I opted for the battery replacement for my pixel 4a, and the place I took it to (one of the only places working with google to do the replacement) was super slammed because of all the pixel 4a replacements, and I'm willing to bet they didn't properly glue the battery in place as a few weeks later I dropped it on my carpet from like 4 feet high. The screen didnt crack as I'm using a screen protector and a case, but the center of the screen had a line across it that wasn't cracked glass, it was the actual LCD display damaged, right where the battery should be in the phone. I'm guess the battery was just hanging out loose in the phone, and dropping it was enough to slam the battery into the screen and damage the LCD. From there it spread purple and black dead pixels across the screen over the following 24 hours until the entire LCD was dead.

After all that hassle, new phone required anyway.

Is this the same handy work of the 1 lone google developer that messed with the pixel 4a builds (and that were built on a personal dev machine instead of a proper build infrastructure) and sent out a shoddy battery update that required battery replacements?

I mean, I vaguely heard about that decades later, so doesn't that mean they got away with it?
