    Mouse recommendations

    The G400 was the replacement for the MX518. I was a long time MX518 user and I got a G700 when it finally died. Great mouse, though a little heavy for some.

    Since Thurman is within the Adirondack park, I'm surprised they didn't have to camouflage the base station antennas more. People here tend to lose their shit if they can see a cell tower inside the park. I remember a big debate 10 years or so ago about "Frankentree", a cell tower near the...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    A client at work is playing around with fonts on the info he sends us. I fully expect it to devolve into webdings or similar shit soon. Comic sans would actually be an upgrade from what he is currently using.

    I've been on CM 12 nightlies almost the entire time I've had the phone. I just couldn't stand going back to Kit Kat after getting used to Lollipop. It was just a comment on their April Fool's joke tying in to all those rumors of Microsoft funding. I am looking forward to see how OxygenOS...

    So I updated my OPO to the CM12 4/1 nightly and am greeted by an "Android is upgrading... Powered by Microsoft" with a windows logo as it's rebuilding the ART cache. Apparently if you use the Trebuchet launcher the app drawer icon is now a windows logo. Took me a few minutes to get it. Well...

    You don't have to bother with invites anymore. Every Tuesday they open it up for anyone to buy one.

    That's the same type of NAND that Samsung has been using in the 850 series SSDs. It will be nice to have more manufacturers using it though.

    Oxygen OS got delayed, but I haven't heard anything about CM. I'm wondering if they might try skipping 5.0.2 and going straight to 5.1 for the official OPO release. As far as the OPO itself is concerned, it's a great phone, I've been very happy with mine.

    Computer Issues

    Malwarebytes is great, but unless you pay for it the user has to get in the habit of running scans from time to time. I've been installing Avast instead of MSSE lately and have gotten a lot less repeat infections. Yes to adblock, but in my experience, your average person who will get a bunch if...

    I'm running a 970 with no issues on a 650W PSU. The thing actually uses less power than the 560 TI it replaced.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    As someone who regularly picks up the phone to hear a fax on the other end, I want them to die. Unfortunately I deal with doctor's offices at work, so I'd have to find a new job if I want to ever not see faxes again.

    I just gotMSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card (GTX 970 GAMING 4G) - PCPartPickerand have been quite happy with it. I upgraded from a 560 ti, so any recent card was going to be a huge upgrade.

    It's an AMOLED screen, so that will keep the energy usage down by only lighting the pixels that need to be used. I imagine they could do something sensor wise to have it only lit when needed as well.

    So I'm finally replacing my 560 Ti and I'll probably get a GTX 970. Is there any particular version that's better than the others at the moment?

    Need new Antivirus

    The most effective AV nowadays is a few browser extensions and having half a brain. I use ABP and Ghostery (and noscript when I use FF) with MSE and Malwarebytes. I only run scans when MSE prompts me to and run Malwarebytes every 6 months or so. Haven't had any real infections in over 10 years...

    Android cameras should improve as we see more 5.0 devices. 5.0 adds a lot to the camera API, so camera apps will have a lot more control over the sensor once they update to take advantage of it. The Sony Exmor sensor on the OPO is supposed to be pretty good, but low light performance could...

    Got my OPO today and I doubt I'm going to regret not waiting for a Nexus 6. After using Lollipop for so long going back to Kit Kat just wasn't going to work. I immediately rooted it so I could update it to CM 12, which works well enough for now. I'm hoping PA updates to Lollipop sometime, but...

    Brave Frontier

    I figured I'd end up having to make one, it just annoys me that they use play services for the useless achievements, but don't enable cloud saves. Guess it's time to dust off the old yahoo address I used to used for stuff I don't want tied to the email address I actually use.

    So has anyone managed to migrate the game to a different device without using facebook? IIRC, if you restore the game from a backup on to a new device it checks your device ID against what the save is expecting and resets the games if it's different. My OPO gets delivered today and I'd rather...

    Vivaldi - new internet browser for power users

    Won't bother with it until there's some sort of adblock or noscript available for it. Even then, getting me to stop using chrome after the useful stuff Google has built in to it would be pretty difficult.

    That's unfortunate. I thought they eventually expire, but wasn't sure. Hopefully my tax return gets deposited soon so I can start tracking one down.
