Not quite sure if Verizon is different, but porting my number over to Fi required that I give Fi the login and password to my straight talk account.

That was surprisingly good.

As much as I would love for AMD to truly be competitive again, I'm going to wait for independent benchmarks before I even consider buying a CPU from them again. It will probably be another year or so before I decide to replace my 2500K anyway.

I want USB C on everything now that I've used it on my Pixel. Not having to deal with 4 dimensional USB A/B is fantastic. I've had the Pixel since launch and it shows no signs of the plug loosening at all.

Someone set up 2 Google Homes to talk to each other. They often get caught in loops accusing each other of being robots, but there's some funny shit in there too.

Have they said if this is going to have multiplayer like ME3 did? I'm definitely going to wait for good post launch reviews before I decide if I'll pick it up, but if it has multiplayer that's as good as ME3 i'd buy it even if the single player is shit.

7zip is king.

CDPR is the one company left that I will unquestionably preorder games from, as they know how to treat their customers. I'll be doing the same once Cyberpunk 2077 is up for preorder.

Season 2 of Ajin is already on Neflix. Much faster than I expected. Hopefully Sato keeps being as ruthless as he was last season. The art in Drifters was especially nice to see. Seemed to be a bit of an improvement over Helsing Ultimate, which was pretty damn good.

Seems pretty meh to me. I'll keep watching Zestria because of the animation, but that's about it. Maybe this will end up being a good time to catch up on older shows.

Hopefully it shows up on Netflix soon, as there's nothing on the winter list that grabs my attention. Drifters ended up being my favorite show of the season, with Gundam right behind. The resolution to the goddamn cliffhanger in Gundam could put it over Drifters though. Izetta ended up being...

Shit, 98% where I live and it's a relatively short drive up to Plattsburgh for 100%.

The only direct effect I can think of off hand are the tax penalties I've paid because I couldn't afford insurance.

Working overnights both nights, but that's nothing new. I'll still be going to my parents' for Christmas eve dinner. My dad is a retired chef and I'm not sure what he's making this year but it's always good. Will be going back on Christmas in the late morning/early afternoon for gifts and...

Assuming you're talking about the Note 7, it wasn't a discounted upgrade. She was paying for it at full price, just in installments. She considered the Pixel, but decided to wait for the S8.

My sister got one of those subsidized Blu phones from amazon for $50 as a temporary replacement for her Note 7 while she waits for the S8 next year. She says it's not as bad as you would think a $50 phone would be, but it's still pretty lousy. If you're willing to pay for something in the $400...

DisplayPort and HDMI cables are included in the box. You do need DisplayPort for 144hz.

I just bought one of those on black friday. I've been pretty happy with it, though the backlight could be a little more even. The only thing that annoys me is that every time I wake the computer, my taskbar moves back to monitor 1 from monitor 2, where I want it. It's probably something to do...

I've been quite happy with https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-RT-AC66U-802-11ac-AiProtection-Optimization/dp/B008ABOJKS?th=1

They didn't sell out, they got bailed out. Pebble was effectively bankrupt and fitbit bought them out for little more than what they owed. They must be feeling pretty silly for having turned down offers of 750 million from Citizen and 70 million from Intel. Edit: They scummy bit is that they...

Glitter from the Christmas decorations in the office is fucking everywhere.

If you're going to go the OnePlus route, the 3 has been (or is in the process of being) discontinued in favor of the 3T. For $40 extra the SoC gets bumped to a Snapdragon 821, the battery to 3400 mah and it gets a 128 GB storage option. From what I've read the screen really isn't that bad...

I bought a cheapass case back when there was hardly any selection. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LRMWHPA It's fits well and isn't terrible. I'll likely replace it when something comes along that catches my eye. I don't need much from a case though, I just want something relatively thin...

Question for those of you on Fi. I tried calling a local number today and didn't include the area code since it was the same as mine. The call goes to an area code on the other side of the state, so I wake up somebody at 1 am instead of calling the office I intended to. Has anyone else had this...

I don't see why there would be any problems. I'm running 2 old as fuck monitors without issue. It will be nice to finally retire the secondary monitor as it was scavenged from a former employer and the screen had been abused and scratched.

Motherfucker. I think I'll have to grab that. That looks like a pretty much perfect replacement for my 8 year old viewsonic, as I'm not quite ready to put down the money on a really nice gsync monitor yet.

I just installed the M.2 version of that drive on the same motherboard last week. If you go that route make sure you update the bios, as it didn't recognize the drive until I did. This was the first build I've done with a motherboard with a UEFI bios and I was surprised to see that I could check...

One thing I'll always respect Apple for is not letting carriers fuck up the phone with bloatware. Granted, some android manufacturers manage to fuck up good hardware with awful bloatware without carrier help. I got some cheapass chinese case off of amazon for $7 just for some basic protection...

I bought one of these earlier this year and am very happy with it. It's far better than buying canned air.

Any suggestions on a 1200p monitor that I will eventually move to be my secondary monitor when I finally feel like spending money on a good gsync one? I'd like to keep it to $300 or less but will go over that for a particularly good deal. Either type of panel is fine and I'd like to keep to...

Just had my first update on the Pixel. The seamless update worked as advertised. Got a 5 second flash of "android is upgrading" during boot and then a roughly 30 second notification after boot that the system is finishing the update after boot, during which the phone was perfectly usable. While...

Having that port always occupied just rustles my jimmies when I need it. I think I'd put up with occasional disconnect, but maybe I'll just have to keep sucking it up. The M705 has been good for several years but the slow pointer speed, even when cranked to the max, annoys me. Every time I...

Anybody have a recommendation for a decent bluetooth mouse? I'm tired of the only USB port on my Surface being taken up by the receiver for my Logitech M705. Thumb buttons are a must and it needs to be durable enough for travel, but otherwise I've got no special requirements.

I've been quite happy with mine as well. Being back on stock android is nice.
