    Smartphones

    Just double checked it and no burn in. I assume your burn in is with the nav bar? I use an app that changes the nav bar color on a per app basis, so that may have prevented burn in there. Usage differences and screen lottery (though I haven't heard of any big issues with Pixel screens) can also...

    I had never played any Harvest Moon games and enjoyed Stardew Valley. If you're even remotely interested it's worth the $9 to find out. Can always refund it if you actually notice the passage of time while playing.

    OnePlus 5 just had it's official announcement. The Essential phone is up for pre order, but I haven't seen anything about when it will ship.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    He's an 8lb Brussels Griffin about 4 years old. Looks like a 4 legged ewok and is amusing as hell. X-ray showed some minor abnormalities in his spine but nothing that would explain what happened. After a day of pain and anti inflammatory meds he can now walk, so it's wait and see now.

    It's worth it to me just to be able to pick a non obnoxiously lit case. Just give me a plain black box filled with good parts.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    My little sister's dog was heading out to the back yard when suddenly it's yelping in pain and can't use his rear legs. Vet wants $3500 for a fucking MRI.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    That was right after I threw everything in the carboys and shook them up for a bit to aerate them. Left is a cyser, right is a traditional. I figure that if this goes well, I'll scale up to 5 gallon batches of recipes I have figured out and use the 1 gallons for experiments.

    Bought all the stuff I needed to start making mead at home. Hopefully this will be drinkable by the end of the year.

    If you have ever enjoyed a turn based tactics game, X-Com is an absolute must at $5. Even if that type of game is not normally your thing, it's still worth a try.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The people in charge of ME3 multiplayer were in charge of Andromeda. We all know how that turned out. Bioware is firmly in the wait for proper reviews after release category and will have to pull off some amazing shit for me to consider a day 1 purchase ever again. I expect them to be fully...

    Absolutely worth it. The game gets a little repetitive by the end, but it's surprisingly good for a movie tie in.

    I'm using the Google family plan, which is $15/month for 6 accounts. No real complaints about it.

    Tech question: why can't my laptop access rererolled as of the site crash a few days ago?

    There is no reason to be using the rererolled URL anymore.

    Wii U and 3DS jailbreak

    Make sure to update to B9S if you haven't already. Luma has already dropped support for A9LH in the latest version. Takes all of maybe 10 minutes to do.

    Wii U and 3DS jailbreak

    I don't have much to compare it to, having only played through Awakenings and was still early in Birthright when Echoes came out, but I like it so far. I'm definitely not going back to Fates until I finish Echoes, as I like it much more so far. I understand that Fates is considered to not be...

    Wii U and 3DS jailbreak

    I get the same issue from both freeshop and ciangel. One of the theories about the ban wave is that it may have something to do with Echoes. I wonder if it's trying to download the unreleased DLCs.

    Wii U and 3DS jailbreak

    I decided to check if my 3ds got caught up in the ban wave and it turns out I did. I only use it for single player games anyway so I don't care too much.

    Tablets

    I've got a Pro 4 and I've been happy with it. The only major complaint I have is that I wish it had a 2nd USB port. The USB port on the charger is also worse than the one that was on my Pro 2. The same phone that would charge fine on the 2, would cause the 4 shit itself and would alternate...

    Computer Issues

    Pretty much everything that @jeydax said. Plus with a standalone router you usually get more config options and such. Plus, you usually have a reason to upgrade routers more often than modems, so having a separate router makes that easier.

    The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

    Cautiously optimistic. I don't know if this will live up to my childhood memories of The Dark Crystal, but Netflix getting this give me hope that it will be done right.

    Computer Issues

    I would definitely suggest getting your own standalone router when you can. Combo router/modems are almost universally crap.

    Smartphones

    Looks like Metro PCS uses TMO's network, so any unlocked TMO compatible phone should work. What price range are you looking at? On the lower end, the Moto G5 looks pretty good and it's $200-$240 depending on config. If you're willing to spend more, the OnePlus 3T is very nice, but it is $440...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Is wired absolutely out of the question? I never depend on wireless unless I have no other choice. If so maybe you should give an PCI adapter a shot instead.

    The Astronomy Thread

    My understanding is that the options of the rating system that a_skeleton_03 loves so much aren't that granular. They would need to be enabled for the entire general forum. I agree though.

    Verizon launches gigabit FIOS for $70/month

    Those speeds are on the low end for 3G. Either you are being throttled, you have a shitty connection, or you aren't actually connected on LTE.

    Verizon launches gigabit FIOS for $70/month

    Yeah, if that's your home connection, that's garbage. If it's your cell, it's still not good, but passable for most people. For reference, the FCC definition of broadband is 25/3 Mbps.

    I imagine that Qualcomm's cut is a very small percentage of the cost of an iphone. If Apple wins and the fee goes down, they'll just pocket it instead of dropping prices.

    I like to download stuff so I can watch it at work when things are slow. The better quality is nice and I also will hold one to shows I particularly enjoy. The only show I'm currently watching that I have yet to find is Little Witch Academia, as it's not on horrible subs. No big loss though. I...

    Smartphones

    If what I heard on TWiT this week was correct, Apple doesn't even negotiate or pay the fees to Qualcomm directly. Foxconn does that, then charges Apple whatever they work out. This should be interesting, though I doubt a ban will happen.

    The amazon basics micro usb cables are pretty well made. Don't know if they support the higher amp quick charging though. They were fine on my OnePlus One though.
