Wow. Have you contacted them about it? That's crazy, I'd have to assume it's a bug.

I've never been charged on vultr, as I use bitcoin to always pay my bills (which is push only). I think they have stopped accepting that for new customers due to abuse though, which is quite a shame (but understandable).

So this looks pretty amazing. As a heavy postgres user, is there any reason why I shouldn't be using this? Or actually it's strictly superior in all regards?

> Just to echo... Amazon S3 with CloudFront. No contest.

Yeah, until someone decides they don't like you and downloads a few terabytes of data over and over. It costs about average $0.09 per GB from CloudFront out to the world, and add in the costs from S3 to Cloudfront itself.

I had a $200 bill one month due to that, and the next month went with CloudFlare (no usage based billing) and github.

Just to save everyone interested a couple of clicks, here's the result: http://animats.com/

I'm on AC like 90% of the time, and afer a year much to my surprise my laptop battery has hugely degraded performance.

I would've thought when you're on AC, the power can completely circumvent the battery and put no wear on it. I remember in the age of replaceable laptop batteries, I could replace the battery while connected to AC (or run without a battery) no problems

Is it just me, or does that star-shaped thing look absolutely terrifying? I really don't want that in my stomach. I'd much rather take daily (or even bi-daily) pills, or even some sort of slow release injection.

I'm glad to hear that they're good about it. At the end of the day, as long as I get a positive outcome I will be happy. I guess it's likely that due to the launch their support systems are totally overwhelmed at the moment.

FWIW before it stopped working, the pixel was hands done the best phone I've ever used, in almost every category.

I was thinking about it, my credit card has always been extremely good about stuff like this. However, I use google for everything, my entire life is on it. I'd rather lose the $649 I paid for the pixel, then get blackballed from google services.

So for now, I'm just patiently awaiting their response and hopefully they'll give me the green light to mail it in for a replacement or something.

It's funny, I'm this exact same boat. My pixel died a little after two week (which is the requirement to get a return). I filled out their warranty claim thing, and >48 hours finally got a response, which is a trouble shooting guide. I replied that I tried all that stuff, and had to wait another 2 days for another response (asking for information I already gave).

I'm extremely disappointed. I thought with their whole advertising of "24 hour support" they identified customer support as a weakness of theirs, and are trying to remedy it. Nope.

BTW in your case, you can probably just buy a new screen: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-ubreakifix-pixel/

Nicely spotted, I read the article and missed the irony there.
