So, it looks like I'll be opting for the OPO once my tax return comes in. Any of you still sitting on invites for the 64GB model?

I used to drive at night around upstate NY for a living and the worst were the Canadian truckers. If it was tearing up I-87 at 75 mph in a blizzard it probably had Quebec plates. I made crawling around access roads between mountains in Killington and Ludlow VT a pleasure by comparison.

Getting the abnormality bullshit using Shida as well. Unfortunately I don't really have much of a choice but to use him as I'm on my new account that's less than a month old. I think it's time to find a new game.

How do you like the N6? Is the pink tint when when the screen dims much of an issue for you? How's battery life? You might want to keep an eye on the back cover, as it apparently has a tendency to separate from the phone. I fought with sprint a while back about an ETF when I ditched them...

I've been without cable TV for 16 years, it was never a priority for me. Stopped bothering with a home phone 14 years ago so bundle pricing was never attractive. I use Netflix, Prime, Hulu Plus and Crunchyroll, though I am dropping Hulu Plus. As with everyone else, sports are the biggest...

Phones are much better at preventing overcharging, a good chunk of that is built right in to the battery. The battery is normally not allowed to be fully charged, nor fully drained, to maximize it's lifespan. I've also seen wireless chargers that detect when the phone is fully charged and...

If you tap on the text below the wifi icon it takes you to the wifi settings. Same goes for bluetooth.

I imagine he's going to eventually have his orange mech wrecked at some point and he'll end up stealing one of the martian's. If he could take Slaine's that could prove amusing. As far as Log Horizon goes I'm just watching it out of pure habit at this point. Other than Aldnoah, Parasyte and...

That's a pricey modem compared to Time Warner. Until I finally got around to buying my own modem a few months ago, I had been using a Toshiba modem that was old when they gave it to me 8 years ago. That was probably better than the Ubee pieces of shit they give out now though.

I don't know if they do, but there is no obvious attachment point for one.

You can use Plex for that. Hell, Amazon was giving away the android app for free last week, normally $5.

Came here to post Conan, glad to see I was beaten to it. Battle of the Mounds is the best track though.

Got caught up on UBW, things are finally getting interesting. Up until now I had felt that Zero was superior in every way other than animation, though a lot of that is probably my preference for adult characters over teens. Going to see if I can get caught up on Cross Ange next while waiting...

Got a response from support, they sent me a generic response to connection issues, nothing to do with losing my account. Fucking useless. Still don't understand why they implemented the Play Games achievements but not the cloud saves. Decided I'll just restart and never give them another...

GotAmazon.com - SPACE Seating Professional Dark Air Grid Back with Black Eco Leather Seat, Managers Chair - Adjustable Home Desk Chairsfor christmas. Comfy and sturdy. It's a big improvement over the shitty chair I got from staples 6 years ago that started falling apart this month. Though I...

Binged on Fate Zero and I'm now a few episodes in to UBW. Goddamnit why can't everything be animated this well?

Well, I think I'm done with this. I got a "Cannot find user info" error a few days ago and the game wiped itself and wanted me to start from scratch. Tried restoring from backups but the games tells me my live session has expired, which is normal for restoring from a backup, then gives me the...

Looks like I'm going to be giving my parents the Fire stick in exchange for their chromecast. Having an interface on the TV makes it a lot easier for my dad to use, plus they don't have any other way of getting prime videos on the TV easily.

The thing is that it can turn your TV in to a monitor for any device on the network that supports the casting protocol. Hell, they just updated the android chromecast app to allow devices not on the same network to cast to your chromecast if you give it permission. It's mainly a convenience...

If you are interested in getting a newer phone, you might want to check out the Xperia Z3 Compact. It's smaller than the infuse in every dimension, same weight, 4.6" screen and water and dust resistant. Supposed to have very good battery life as well. As far as going on contract, does the Go...

The stick already has allcast support? Damn, I should have checked. Would be nice if it supported the screen casting protocol that's built in to 5.0, but allcast will do.

Awesome. Must have missed that when I was setting it up.

Well, seeing as the infuse is a 4.5" screen, the iphone 4S would be the last model that was produced with a smaller screen (3.5"). The 5 has a 4.5" screen, so that might be too big as well. IIRC, carriers usually offer the previous iphone at a steep discount and the one before that for almost...

Only downside to it is the lack of youtube, google movies and no support for android screen casting. If those aren't a concern it's a no brainer. I have yet to try Plex on it, I'll have to see how well it handles higher quality videos.

Mine showed up on Tuesday and the only complaint so far is the unskippable intro video. No wifi, remote or account issues.

Jesus Christ. Straight Talk on AT&T, $45 + local sales tax per phone, unlimited minutes, unlimited data (throttled after 3GB) and your existing AT&T phones will work.

Get Calibre and you can stop giving a shit about ebook formats.

I had initially tried terminus with a grind oriented team with healing and Narza and that failed horribly so decided I'd give offense a try. I thought it probably wouldn't work either as I lack Maxwell, and my fisrt try did better, but Loch would usually kill 2-3 of my team. Finished crafting...

I was under the impression that this came already configured for your account, was that not the case?

I'm pretty sure the chips for that already exist, but who the fuck wants to cram full windows on to a phone? That would be a nightmare on UI alone, not to mention the abysmal battery life such a device would have.

Just long enough for the phone to figure out that it is no longer connected to a tower. Once your signal icon indicates you no longer have mobile data you can turn it back on. Waiting longer won't do anything else unless it's a bigger problem like the radio in your phone bugging out to the...

Airplane mode or toggling mobile data off and on will force the phone to search for towers again and is all that is needed 90% of the time to reestablish a connection. That would be the the PRL (Preferred Roaming List). It's used for CDMA phones to tell them what bands and towers to look for and...

My order got bumped up again and has now shipped, expected to get here in the 17th. How has it been working so far for the folks who have one already?

8-10 months out on an ancient phone like the S2? What the holy hell? Try PA's GApps:[GAPPS][4.4.x] OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE | Paranoid Android | XDA Forums

That is a pretty old phone, I hope you plan on replacing it soon. Just fixed a EVO 4G for a friend and going back to gingerbread was painful. At least the phone only has to last 2 more months before it's getting replaced.

You might want to see if there is a 4.3 based rom for your phone, as that is when android added TRIM support, which should help with keeping the NAND from acting up.

You also might want to try wiping the cache partition, which can be done from recovery even if the device is completely stock.

Bah, I got mixed up and the chromecast can be powered by usb on the TV, not from HDMI.

Power over HDMI was one of the things I was disappointed to see that the fire stick doesn't do but the chromecast does. Not a dealbreaker by any means but it would have been nice.

I have mine set at 1.2. Beyond that I usually start missing things. Also, if you don't find what your're looking for in Pocket Casts, it does allow you to import from OPML and it will even find files on your device downloaded by another app if you want it to. Interface is very nice as well.
