Maybe I've gotten lucky, but I've messed up flashing many things over the years and never permanently bricked anything. Or maybe it's less of a risk on modern devices?

I also have a Pixel 5 and like the size of it. Whenever I handle my wife's Pixel 6 it feels freaking huge.

Was thinking about Calyx or Graphene. Is it pretty low fuss for daily use?

I've used Pixels (and the Nexus line before that) for nearly 9 years and overall they've been great phones. Pixel 4 was really the only dud for me, but I haven't used them all, generally buy a used one every 2 years or so.

Right now I'm using a Pixel 5 which I like, and Mrs tomatobeard has a Pixel 6 which I'm a tad jealous of. Pixels have great Android support/updates, and also have good support in the custom ROM and modding community. My favorite phone ever was a Pixel 2 XL, and when Google stopped supporting it, I switched to Lineage os and kept rocking it for a year or more after.

😄 Dude goes super no-homo on the banana while wearing a pink sweater draped on his shoulders.

Damn, this is good. One of those "why didn't I think of that?" ideas.

Ours is vintage, got super lucky and found it at Goodwill. It's a pre-millenium model from about 1980. A little descaler and new gaskets, and it works great.

I wish it had a bigger portafilter, but it's really not a big deal for us.

Found my new wallpaper. Thanks!

Great idea! I use a La Pavoni Europiccola (lever espresso machine) when I have time, Bialetti Moka pot or pour over when I don't.
