Google confirmed that the bug bricking some Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a devices is triggered by factory resetting them immediately after rebooting into an updated system.
They now recommend that you do NOT factory reset your phone within 15 minutes of booting into a new update. For those who already have, Google says they've identified the root cause of this bug and will share more information soon.
Finally some good news this week! #Fractal 8.beta is here 🎉

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
