Safety Dance posted:I never got the appeal of Netflix on my phone. TV, computer, and even maybe tablet if I'm feeling super lazy, but the phone screen is too small and battery life is too short. I take my tablet to the gym so I can watch TV while I am on the treadmill. Anyway, my uncle applied for citizenship nearly 15 years ago and yesterday we got the letter saying that his visa has been approved.

I bought a used mechanical keyboard from SA Mart awhile ago (This was my first mistake). The seller warned me that it would be dirty but holy poo poo I didn't expect it to be that dirty. I finally finished cleaning it out and I'm typing on it now. Probably will be giving it to my girlfriend in a few days.

some texas redneck posted:Nope. Stepdad's 6 or 7 year old Samsung keeps going dark at random. If you turn it off and on it'll be fine for a bit, then goes dark after a random amount of time. Sometimes makes a crackling noise when it's turned on. Either way, sound keeps working, and if you shine a bright flashlight at the LCD, you can sort of see the picture. When the backlight works, it has a beautiful picture, but it goes completely dark at random. My Samsung TV did something similar. There was an auto-dimming or auto-adjustment setting I had to turn off and then everything worked great.

I really hope that you change your mind about telling your wife about telling your wife to lose weight. You can support and try to motivate her all you want but unless she wants to do it herself, nothing is going to change.

There was an application that allowed you to move steam games between drives. Anything I was currently playing I kept on my ssd and moved it off of there when I started something else.

I can't remember the details but my friend took his car to Wal mart for an oil change once. There was a hole in the oil pan and they just patched it up without telling him. He drove 200 miles and found out that his car was pissing oil. Luckily, he got them to pay for the repair.

I got out of the gym and my Outback failed to turnover. Twice. Cars with ~11k miles aren't supposed to do that are they?  On the plus side, I was able to install a new head unit in a car yesterday. I know it's not super difficult but it was the first time doing it.

I really hate networking. I have three computers. One is like a server box, another is a htpc and the last is my main computer. I can connect to my server box from my main computer via UPNP but not the from the htpc. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. My server and htpc are both running Linux. I'm guessing it's some sort of firewall issue on my htpc but I have no idea what. I don't even think it's running a firewall.

For what it's worth, I bought a TV from Newegg and it arrived with a giant crack. They shipped a replacement no questions asked and picked up the old one. My friend who I bought it for was less understanding.

Sigma X posted:That trend is driving me batty. I wear size large gloves, if my thumb can't reach all the way across a phone's screen while holding it comfortably, IT'S TOO loving LARGE. It's at the point where I'm not going to be able to keep up with current mobile technology without lugging a surfboard-sized "phone" around with me. Yeah, I don't blame you. Before I got my oneplus one, I didn't think I wanted a phablet but it's really nice and I got used to the size really fast.

DICKPOCALYPSE NOW posted:Its actually 50 and the white phone, the maxx is black and free. So two points in its favor with a strong negative being if I was reading the sign correctly no expandable storage. I hate having to pick and choose which music makes the cut. But ghe white phone aspect is because as a mechanic everything i own gets blasted by grit and oil and it shows up a thousand times faster on white. Are you getting these phones on contract?

DICKPOCALYPSE NOW posted:Yeah, but I've been on a Verizon family plan with the same phone number since 2003 at a fairly decent price, and Verizon has pretty great coverage. So I wasnt seeing any reason not to, and like I said even subsidised I dont want or need a $200 next gen wonderphone. They still offer the S4? I understand that you don't want the latest and greatest but the S4 is two years old now. It may work today but with another possible update, if it gets one, may cripple the phone. Newer apps will become more demanding as time goes on and I can't imagine that the S4 will age gracefully. I'd say if you're going to get a phone on contract, get a phone that's no older than 1 generation behind. I'd recommend a S5 or maybe a HTC M8. I'm on ATT so I don't know too many things about Motorola phones. I don't really trust them tbh after my last Motorola phone never got a single update and the one that was planned got canceled on the last possible day. This was years ago and things may have changed. EDIT: You should check out those Verizon Edge plans. Sometimes, you can end up a little ahead when buying the phone after the two year contract. You don't need a top of the line phone but if you're going to be using it everyday all day, maybe it's better to get something better. mariooncrack fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Apr 27, 2015 |
