My memories of McMaster from doing my hobbies is that it is outrageously expensive.
You would think. The issue no one seems to think about is that you need to make sure to pay for the domain for the duration of your life(at least). Otherwise, as soon as you lose your domain you lose ownership of your email. Any one that has control of the domain has control of your e-mail.
This dawned on me after a place I worked at reactivated the email I used for work when I worked there. It has my name but I have 0 control over it. Lucky for me I never used the email for things other than work so it's not a big deal. It is still bothersome that they can do that and I have no say so on its use.
- It crashes constantly.
- Bluetooth is even buggier than usual.
- Fingerprint unlock is very finicky.
- The touchscreen isn't designed/calibrated well and leads to constant fat finger presses.
- The hotspot is buggy to connect and randomly drops once it does connect.
- The phone is so slick (ie low friction) that it will randomly slide and fall off of slightly off-level surfaces.
- It feels like this was released without anyone living with the phone for even a couple weeks and trying normal use cases...
Anyway - I've been really disappointed there haven't been updates to fix some of this stuff. I've heard this may be because of hardware issues, but I haven't looked that deeply. I've owned Pixel phones before and like the no BS + Google Apps-centric approach, but this phone really soured me on Google phones. :-(
If you own a business or do work on the side where you are 1099'd then it makes it way easier to send your books to your accountant so they aren't asking for information.
