  2. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

    I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

    The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

    I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

    BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

    It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

    Thanks and God bless!

  4. How the hell does such a big company make the most OBVIOUS mistakes and omissions every year with the pixel line??

  7. God damn kids don't remember how lame Nokia phones were in 2000. Or flip phones with zero features . Beepers . Finding pay phones to call someone. Making plans then following thru with them because you can't just text to cancel. Millenials.

  14. Hey Dave, been using the 3a XL but wanted the 4xl. I waited for a price drop. Picked it up from the Google store, got 3oo.oo off. So 6oo.oo hundred bucks I can live with. Those 📷's, 90hz display, night sight & the purist of android. Yep, glad I waited. Very good review!

  15. The phone comes with a 6.30-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1440×3040 pixels at a pixel density of 537 pixels per inch (ppi) and an aspect ratio of 19:9.

    Google Pixel 4 XL is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. It comes with 6GB of RAM.

    The Google Pixel 4 XL runs Android 10 and is powered by a 3700mAh non-removable battery. The Google Pixel 4 XL supports proprietary fast charging.

    As far as the cameras are concerned, the Google Pixel 4 XL on the rear packs a 16-megapixel primary camera with an f/2.4 aperture and a pixel size of 1.0-micron and a second 12.2-megapixel camera with an f/1.7 aperture and a pixel size of 1.4-micron. The rear camera setup has phase detection autofocus. It sports a 8-megapixel camera on the front for selfies, with an f/2.0 aperture and a pixel size of 1.22-micron.

    Google Pixel 4 XL based on Android 10 and packs 64GB of inbuilt storage. The Google Pixel 4 XL is a dual-SIM (GSM and GSM) smartphone that accepts Nano-SIM and eSIM cards.

    Connectivity options on the Google Pixel 4 XL include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, NFC, USB Type-C, 3G, and 4G with active 4G on both SIM cards. Sensors on the phone include accelerometer, ambient light sensor, barometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, and compass/ magnetometer. The Google Pixel 4 XL supports face unlock.

    The Google Pixel 4 XL measures 160.40 x 75.10 x 8.20mm (height x width x thickness) and weighs 193.00 grams. It was launched in Just Black and Oh So Orange colours. It bears a glass body.

  21. To be honest… I hate the negativity around the Pixel phones.. most people don't even use the phones how test reviewers do.. I honestly really like the 4 XL.. you just have to try it.

  22. Anyone with an iPhone 11 Pro who can compare the Pixel 4? I wonder how the 90Hz feels compared to still smooth iOS?

    I always had Nexus Phones, but for the moment I got an 11 Pro from Amazon Warehouse Deals. It’s great but there are things that I prefer on Android, specially the fact that the pixel 4 is about half the price of the 11 Pro.
    Besides that: Pixel 4 is lighter (162g vs 188g)

  26. The battery capacity is same like my Xperia X Performance, this model came out 4 years ago! So suck that Google don't know what customer need since Google is a big search engine..better go for oneplus and it's so much cheaper than this crap

  28. The battery isn't nearly as bad as the reviews have said. I'm able to continuously get 7 hours of SOT. The gestures work 95% of the time and lifting it always gets the radar looking for me. The phone is always unlocked before I'm even ready to use it. It's a huge upgrade from my Note 9 that I was using and fighting with for the last 6 months. Oh and the camera is truly fantastic!

  35. I have a Google Pixel 4 XL and it is absolutely terrible first of all why have a new charger I know they have been doing it since the original pixel but we all know the only reason Google did this is because they saw Apple using their own charger so they thought let's create our own charger and I think they only did this to compete with apple.Also I find editing photos and other things very difficult example I was trying edit a screenshot and I could not find the editing option and I got very frustrated.Also I find swiping up and down to example scroll down on YouTube it takes you off YouTube and back onto the homesrceen not a huge problem but still kinda annoying.Thank you for reading my comment I hoped you fined this somewhat helpful.

  41. Reviewer is absolutely right. There are too many cut corners / compromises in Pixel 4 series phones for the price. It will be a great $350 phone after some time :). This seems the only fair price for what Google has done this year.

  42. Dave, here it was cyber monday and I wanted a pixal phone. I looked at the pixal4 but even with the 200 off I couldn't pull the trigger. So I picked up the 3a XL, why. It's the true value pixal, to me the flagships are not. I think I made the right choice at 379.00 bucks. Very good review!

  43. This will likely be my last Google phone. The 4's battery life is horrible and I feel like I have battery anxiety where I'll always have to carry my battery bank. Google showed that it doesn't care about its users with this phone.
