    Just got my Pixel XL today, it'll be nice to have a battery back again. I've not googled around yet, how bad is the burn on on the Pixel screens? The 6P had some pretty wicked burn in, granted that was after 2~ ish years of use.

    FYI: Amazon's Blowing Out a Ton of Storage and Networking Gear, Today Only I normally cross reference these deals with those seen on SlickDeals. Also, checking camelcamelcamel.com for all time low prices on Amazon never hurts easier. I haven't looked at any of the deals myself yet so double...

    Unscientifically? At least for the earBUDS I'd linked, I'd say for the type of earmuffs you're referring to they are probably about 1/2 as noise isolating. For standard earPLUGS, they are about 2/3 to 3/4 as effective. ...unscientifically.

    The earbuds I'd linked block out noise almost as well as my construction earplugs do, which is one of the major benefits of using them when mowing the lawn or other yard tools. Ditto for running the table, miter, or skil saws. No need to blast the music. Moot point.

    I've done the whole "tuck the cord away" thing. I'd rather just use the bluetooth. 7 hours is plenty long when all they're being used for is mowing the lawn or using them as a phone ear-piece while driving here and there. Those perfectly good devices might not require charging but they also...

    Ehh... Mine last 6-7 hours straight. And fuck having a cord connected to my phone/head when I am mowing the lawn/driving. Still dumb that companies are doing away with the jacks though.

    In the last week my Nexus 6P has gone from fine to damn near paper weight. Fucker can't hold a charge. I'll be at 100% when I wake up, check an email or two for a few minutes, take a shower, get to work 30 minutes later and I'm at 71%. Not sure I can wait for the Pixel 2 to come out at this...

    You're probably right about the network switching. You could try doing what I do and just force it to stay on T-Mobile (or Sprint, or US Cellular, whatever is bet). I've done that for a long time and have had my phone forced on T-Mobile without allowing switching because T-Mobile is always the...

    @Noodleface to be fair, the MMS thing isn't really limited to Fi. While I have had that issue a time or two, it has been far from egregious. Certainly not to the point that made me though, "Gee, I really should pay an extra 60 fucking dollars a month to get some stupid meme pic my brothers sent...

    Computer Issues

    TLDR: A lot of the combo routers have rebooting/restarting/general stability issues (modem side) and generally do not have as good of performance on the router side. It really boils down to stability more than anything else.

    Do either of you have a recommendation for an OS to still for a noob like me? Probably would prefer to use one of the ones listed for Pi-hole: Raspbian: Jessie (lite / with pixel) Ubuntu: 14.04 / 16.04 / 16.10 Fedora: 24 / 25 Debian: 8.6 CentOS: 7.2.1511 / 7.3.1611

    Gotcha. In that case, unless you read otherwise, I think the SB8200 would suit you just fine. FWIW: Keep in mind a lot of companies will say "unsupported" for modems such as the SB6141 but they work just fine. Hell, even Comcast says the SB6141 is unsupported for me but I've been using it for...

    Great! In the meantime I was thinking same thing as Mist about the power state. Just go to device manager and find the adapter, see if there is a power management thing or two in there that you could tinker with. Could be the culprit. There is a USB setting in advanced power settings as well...

    You're definitely not wrong Mist but that really doesn't help him. Could just be a shitty wireless adapter.

    I used to totally agree with that @mkopec, which is why I'd never delidded anything in the past. I've owed every generation of Intel's microarchitecture from Nehalem all the way up to now at Kaby Lake. I was too paranoid. I'm not too sure exactly when these delid tools came out but my Skylake...
