<p>I don't hate low cost carriers. I absolutely want competition.<p>I was flying Spirit quite frequently. I'm well prepped. I have a backpack that is the maximum size allowed as a personal item, I carry an empty water bottle and a meal from home. They have an option where you can bid on exit row and big seats in advance. I'd bid the lowest amount ($4-10) and almost always win the upgrade.<p>Not everyone is aware of this though. I dislike businesses that prey on customers' lack of knowledge to bombard them with fees.<p>The guy next to me on a flight last year got hit with a $80 fee at the gate because his bag was an inch or so too big. It was his first time flying Spirit. It was cheaper for him to discard that bag and purchase a smaller bag for the flight back.<p>How much more nickel and diming is there left to be done? Standing seats? [1]<p>Very anecdotal evidence, but I was on a trip last week and Spirit was more expensive than American which is what I chose. I'm not loyal to any airline.<p>No one was at the gate hounding at people for bag sizes. I had Wi-Fi on the plane and got a drink and a small snack. My knees also appreciated the slightly longer legroom.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/standing-seats-budget-airlines" rel="nofollow">https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/standing-seats-budge...</a></p>

<p>Base Pixel 10 is the same as iPhone 17 at USD 800.<p>Yes the Pixel 10 now has telephoto but they nerfed the cameras from the Pixel 9 for that.<p>In the Pro models for both the pricing is comparable, yeah.<p>Also realized that Apple charges $200 to jump from 256 GB to 512 GB. That's ridiculous.</p>

<p>You can add multiple Google accounts - one for each country, and switch between them on the Play Store. That's how I'm able to access apps from my home country and resident country.<p>As for using the apps themselves, you might run into issues depending on what restrictions they have - IP address, SMS verification, etc.</p>

<p>> since then, i really started to notice that my youtube recommendations have been colonized to a very large degree by mixes made entirely out of AI generated music<p>Turn off your YT watch history and search history. I've advocated for this on HN for years. Watching one or two AI slop videos won't ruin your recommendations, leaving the algorithm to rely on your likes to find you stuff you'd want to watch.<p>Now if only YT could fix search and allow me to block Shorts.</p>
