I went to the gym today. There were a lot of people at the gym that I don't expect to see in another month or so.

At least for me, the perfect combination is an Apple tablet and an Android phone. I prefer the Android phone because I can customize it. There's small things about iOS that bother me, mostly the keyboard. I really wish Swiftkey didn't suck so much for iOS. I have a Nexus 7 2012 that I have had for two years and I love it. Lollipop runs like rear end on it though. Comparatively, I inherited a iPad 3 that still runs pretty well. I should mention that I don't do anything heavy with a tablet, mostly listen to podcasts and watch Netflix. Last time I tried, my Nexus 7 wasn't supported for Prime Instant Video but I know it works for iPad. At this point, I don't think iOS or Android suck anymore. It's all about personal preference.

dissss posted:Are you sure it's a 3? We have a bunch of iPads at work and aside from the first gen (which didn't have enough RAM) the 3 is by far the worst one for performance now - so much so that they're all in a pile in the store room. Pretty sure. I bought it for my dad a few years back because I couldn't afford an iPad 4 at the time. Edit: To be fair, I used it to browse the forums and surf Netflix, not much else. ssjonizuka posted:Nailed it. I have a recent Galaxy tab pro, and it's best described as meh for anything past the forums. Though, to be fair, the ios8 WebKit issue with html5 is, IMO, inexcusable. In my limited experience I've found that Android tablets don't age all that well.

some texas redneck posted:The Dude is the loving king of crafty hiding spots. There's been several times now where we thought he'd gotten out, only to find him laying, say, on the dining room table behind a fake plant centerpiece, or curled up in a chair in the dining room (we never use that room), or on a table behind a lamp, under a couch, or in the master bedroom closet behind clothes... or between the side of the kitchen refrigerator and wall. Better go buy all of the bread and milk that you can.

Finally got around to installed the second SSD I got for my desktop. I have a Linux VM setup now and holy poo poo, I shouldn't be surprised but I installed Xubuntu in like 5 minutes. This is great.

Sperglord Firecock posted:My regular laptop has died completely, unfortunately. Do you have a reason to spend that much on a computer? My guess is no based on how you phrased it. Unless you have a specific reason, $1,000 will get you an awesome machine, throw in another $500 if you need keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc., and save the rest for buying tools or parts to fix your drat car.

Sperglord Firecock posted:It is, yes, but I want something that will be able to play top tier games for the next 4 years without even a slight hiccup. You're wasting your money then. From the PC Building and Parts thread: quote:How can I future-proof my system? Go here for more: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3671266#post436114943 Yeah, your two 980s might play the top tier games in four years but they sure as hell won't play them well. To give you a better idea, four years ago, you would have bought two 480 GTXs. Two 480s would probably really struggle these days and would be outperformed by my single 7950 now. Back then, I probably would have bought a 460 GTX, so with that in mind and my 7950, I would have spent $500 - $600 instead of ~$1,000 for those dual 480s.

For a gaming PC, you need like 8 gb of RAM, although 16 wouldn't hurt. The reason I end up using more than 8gb of RAM is because I do some heavy compiling in a VM on my machine.

some texas redneck posted:Noticed an annoying bug with the ROM I'm using. Not sure if it's Android 5.x itself, or just the alpha of SlimLP, but if I charge it overnight on the wireless charger, once it finishes charging, it stops taking power from the wireless charger (this was an issue with the Nexus 4, but the Nexus 5 had it working fine). Android 4.4 would keep the battery topped off the entire time it was on the charger; I wake up to the charger's light showing that it's still charging, but the battery stats show it finished charging hours ago and started draining afterwards. Usually wake up to it around 85%. Probably your ROM. Are you using the stock kernel that comes with SlimLP or another custom kernel? Am I the only one here that has a AMD processor? I'm still rocking a 1090T hexcore because for whatever reason I haven't been able to justify a new rig and pull the trigger. Will probably do that after the Broadwell update. mariooncrack fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Jan 11, 2015 |

My friend gifted me another computer. It's a C2D 6400, nothing special. Probably going to finish putting it together tomorrow so I can use it as my new HTPC.

I was sick last week and I thought I was getting better until I fell asleep last night freezing and woke up with a massive headache and runny nose. Had I gone to work, I could have gotten a few hours of overtime.  .

T1g4h posted:Oh my god I cannot wait to get my own place again. You'd think my roomies would know better than to run heater + microwave or multiple heaters, having been repeatedly told that it trips the circuits due to the lovely ancient wiring in this house. Nope. I swear they loving do it at least once a week I can one up that one. The heating bill is in the name of of my girlfriend's roommate. It started getting cold in October so my girlfriend asked her roommate to call to get the heat turned on "just in case" in October. Her roommate said she would. What she actually did was go out to WalMart and buy herself a space heater. So in November, my girlfriend tried to turn on the heat when it got really cold but couldn't because her rooommate is a dumbass and a cheapskate. During this time, her roommate blew a fuse because she was cooking while using a space heater so they had no heat and no electricity for a few days because they didn't know how to replace a fuse. mariooncrack fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Jan 21, 2015 |

They just moved into the place in July so I'm guessing they never set up the heat because they didn't need it yet. No idea how the place is heated, probably natural gas, but the place is older. mariooncrack fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Jan 21, 2015 |

I am off of 80 but I'm not quite sure when you'd be getting off of 80 and hopping on 90. May I suggest taking 86 instead? It was a less crowded road and much more beautiful than 90.

I'm sure making chili isn't that hard but every recipe I look at has this long list of ingredients and it kind of scares me away., as silly as that may sound.

some texas redneck posted:E/N, stepdad has flipped his poo poo again - he's shouting at my mother for "turning Sean <me> against him". I'm guessing there's no chance of him paying you back for the poo poo he bought is there? I should know better asking this since this is probably the same guy who got pissed you bought him a gift card for his birthday. Sorry dude. Data caps are coming, if they're not already here. I've never gotten a warning about going over my data cap but I imagine I've gotten close. I've cut back a lot on my downloading though. The thing that sucks about Internet caps is that we're using more and more data and the caps are getting smaller.

I think it's because I changed my Amazon password overnight, he ordered a bunch of poo poo on my account, didn't bother changing the payment method, and overdrafted my checking account by over $300 (before fees, and my credit union doesn't waive overdraft fees, period), and it'll be well over $1000 after fees since I have stuff like a car payment, credit card payments, insurance payments, etc all scheduled to hit today (my direct deposit paycheck is $330). Trying to get ahold of my old roommate to see if I can crash with him for the next week.
