    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Anyone get the "new" FIOS router? Their old one sucks and I can't seem to get very good wireless speeds.

    That's rough. I mean IPT covers for the most part, but I really liked TVTorrents.

    So how does this BTN place work? I guess TVTorrents is never coming back.

    John Wick (2014)

    I don't really care which is better than which. Loved Dredd, loved Matrix (1), loved John Wick, loved Die Hard, they are all great movies. We need more great movies.

    Have to say QBit feels like old school Utorrent, wish I had switched sooner.

    Edit: Just read up on the pink issue, I don't think I've ever had any phone set to less than 1/3 screen brightness and had adaptive on. I typically do 50-75% with adaptive. So probably won't ever see it.

    So I haven't noticed a pink tint...I'll have to take a closer look. Maybe my eyes just suck. Battery life is good, not amazing. But it's a freaking quad HD 6 inch screen. Wasn't expecting amazing battery life. To be honest though? with the Qualcomm Tubo Charger tech, TOTAL non-issue. I can...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Pretty sure NFL games are not included with the Sling TV, so that's an issue. I have negotiated my FIOS to 65/mo with the 15/15 internet and whatever the 2nd from the bottom for TV. I wouldn't mind more internet, but I mean we get by with 15/15. The main issue I have...is stand alone...

    Just to follow-up, the heat issue I was discussing has more to do with the charger than the phone. And specifically some of the cheaper chargers. For instance, I have the Moto 360, and it's normal charger works perfectly fine with it, no real heat at all. But I also have a Qi charger I have...

    DC Universe Animated Movies

    It was ok, but I still feel like these "New 52" Versions are a step back. War, the newest Batman one with Damian and this one have all been sub-par. I did not like the bad guy dropping Shazam back to Billy. And they play him way too kid annoying. Justice League Unlimited Captain Marvel was...

    Main issue with wireless chargers are heat. And most of the cheap ones get very warm and cause your phone to get very warm. Heat is actually the main factor in Lithium Batteries not being able to hold a charge. So it's something to keep in mind.

    Tablets

    I'm very tempted to go this direction...I realize that these China Tablets probably don't have a ton of longevity, but at that price point, I can buy one every 2-3 years and I'm not too concerned.

    Tablets

    The perfect iPad Air clone has arrived: this tablet dual-boots Android and Windows 8.1, has 3G connectivity, aluminum unibody, and $200 price This thing is tempting as hell, even if it's not perfect, for ~$240 bucks with a Windows 8.1 license...sheesh. Throw a T-Mobile sim with their free...

    FireTV Stick

    New ones came, at first they were perfectly fine. Overnight still having WIFI issues. Taught my kids how to hold down the buttons to restart it, and hoping that is enough. As for the UI, it's really rough, just like the Amazon Prime app on Roku. Netflix is really the best set-up, both kids...

    I'm having new ones sent out, now in addition to my WIFI problems, I cannot even get into Netflix. And the Amazon Prime Video UI frankly sucks for kids.

    I've had to do a few hard reboots. And retype passwords. It's kind of annoying.

    So, it seems pretty good. But the WIFI connection is sort of meh. Either that or I've finally overloaded my router with the billion gadgets I have.

    Computer Issues

    So desktop turns one for a few seconds...then immediately off. And then won't power on again. Then if I wait a bit sometimes it'll turn on for a few seconds again. Likely the power supply?

    I really wish AT&T would do another contract buy-out promotion, I'm over Sprint and T-Mobile only has 2G in my town at the moment.

    Big Hero 6 (Marvel/Disney)

    Took my 7yo and 4yo (girl and boy respectively), they both enjoyed it. My daughter said she almost cried at the end...not spoiling but you get the idea. I liked it a lot, my only issue was I thought Hiro was kind of the least interesting character and there was a bit of stereotypicalness in...

    New Nexus phone & tablet

    I think people are missing the point while arguing about minutia. It's AS expensive as every other phone out there. Thus there is nothing setting it apart. The reason the Nexus line was a success was the price point. When someone goes into a store, they are probably going to gloss over...

    I'm done with this game. Devs keep releasing mech packs for money, has not been a new map in coming up on 10 months. The modes are stale as hell. And they still have so many stupid mechanics.

    A bit late to the watch argument, but I've been following the 360 closely on XDA. It seems a lot of the "official reviews" are based on the initial charge. A lot of users with the recent update and having gone through a few charge/discharge cycles are reporting MUCH better battery life...

    LRMs are a lot of fun. Much more about situational awareness than twitch necessarily. I'm just going to give you a few LRM tips, not knowing what you know. BAP counters ECM (which blocks locks) within 150m. Great for making sure a Light Mech can't shut you down. TAG cuts through ECM and...

    Itwas a very brief explanation. It wasn't a lie. I'm sorry you are having a hard time with the Clans. But that just means you need to work on being a better player In the end 12v12 3 Victors 3 3Ds 3 Shadow Hawks and 3 Embers beats any combination of Clans in 3/3/3/3. Poptarting is still...

    That's really not how it is. For instance, Clan LRMs in lore could do full damage at any range. Right now they have a 180 min range and eventually will have a scaling damage under 180m. Also the ripple fire mechanic for Clan LRMs makes them more susceptible to AMS. Also Clan SRMs and SSRMs...

    Their weapons act very differently. If you get good at torso twisting and sliding damage along multiple components, they aren't that scary. If you stand there facing them trying to get a shot off, they'll light you up. IS Lights are light years better than Clan Lights though.

    There are like three good Clan mechs out of the bunch, and their assault mechs suck. If you are having a lot of problems with them, you really need to rethink your tactics. All of their big weapons spread damage like crazy. I think they did overall a nice job with them. Inner Sphere...
