executive··on Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro
Apple dragging out the notch removal as long as possible. When they finally do (next year?), notch devices will look/feel like old trash.
executive··on Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro
Bit larger yes, just under 1oz heavier... not too significant. And headphone jack, no notch (dealbreaker in 2021), no CSAM.

executive··on Ask HN: My dentist prescribed me a toothbrush that wants to track me forever
"brush hard" is bad advice. Brush very softly.

Cheap hardware is fine, just make sure bristles are soft/ultra soft (packaging will say soft somewhere).

And you only need to brush each tooth ~6x per side.
