    Was it just uninstallable bloatware or something else going on? My parents are going to be looking for new phones soon and the zenfone was one of the phones I was considering.

    Anyone else getting the game closing after a battle telling you to update it despite having already updated?

    But carriers need to certify (fill with uninstallable apps) updates to make sure they work properly on their networks! At least Microsoft is planning on doing it right, with WP 10 updates bypassing carriers and coming straight from Microsoft.

    Ahh, they were the ones who did the early rollout in Poland so could say they had upgraded to Lolipop, even though it wasn't widely available. Carriers definitely do their best to shit up updates, especially Verizon, but LG has a reputation for being slow to do OTAs. Would love to see that...

    The achievement store helps a bit with frogs and imps if you need them. Got Colt's sphere so I'm running an anima one almost fully imp buffed as my leader nowadays. I can also throw up Ultor, Tridon or Kira as needed and I will have a 7* Zelfaga once the mech dungeon rolls around again. ID is...

    They even beat out Motorola? Which phone? I had thought Motorola beat everyone to it except for the N6 and N9.

    With the reclassification of broadband, I pay TWC $55 a month for non broadband speeds (20 down, 10 up), and TWC's turbo tier is the only broadband available where I live. Who the fuck do we have to bribe to get some competition?

    Probably the LG G4. It has a removable back with a replaceable battery and SD card slot. Arguably a better camera as well. The down side is that LG moves at a glacial pace with updates, plus it still has it's buttons on the back, if that annoys you.

    So I was stupid and managed to snap a blade off of one of the fans on my MSI 970 GTX. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells replacements and everywhere I look I see people saying you have to send it back to MSI to get it repaired. As I'd have to pay shipping and labor to replace what is at...

    I'm glad that I listened to you guys and gave Danmachi a shot, I was going to give it a pass based on it's summary. I'd put it just behind Shokugeki no Soma for this season's shows. UBW's episode today was great and it looks like it might end up as good as Zero.

    Being an adult sucks

    As someone who can barely tolerate living with a fully functional human being, I would never be able to handle being responsible for a kid. Good for you folks who do have kids, but it annoys me when people act like I'm some sort of monster when I say that I will never want kids.

    It's really nothing more than a nuisance, just one more thing to uninstall on a new computer. I just dislike candy crush due to that bullshit king pulled trademarking the use of the word saga in video games. /firstworldproblems

    Unless you're sideloading apps from sketchy app stores or downloading pirated paid apps, phone antiviruses are just a drain on the phone. This is for android, I have no idea how risky it is for jailbroken iphones.

    I'm doing some traveling in August, and was thinking of getting some noise cancelling headphones for the flight, but I don't know squat about them. Ideally I only want to spend $50-100, but after doing a little research I'm wondering if anything in that price range would be worth it. Since I...

    On my 16GB Nexus 4 I always wanted a SD card slot. With the 64 GB OPO I don't give a shit. I've got a couple nandroid backups, a full backup of my apps and a bunch of music and still have plenty of space.

    If that's how they did it I doubt much has changed there. Just did a couple tests with a few severs and pings ranged from 102 to 141 ms . Most of my mobile data use is streaming music while driving, so ping doesn't matter much to me anyway. Download speeds were 29-33 Mbps, which is better that...

    On that note. Straight Talk just bumped the BYOD plan to 5GB of LTE data. Granted, you get throttled to 64KBps after that, but if you can keep under that cap it's great. Hell of a lot cheaper than those old grandfathered plans.

    Coworker has a Note 4 and loves it. It's still one of the best phones out there if you don't mind the size. Unless you're already invested in the iOS ecosystem or really want something that is iOS only, I would definitely go with the Note 4. The OPO would also be a good choice. The invite...

    Left headlight didn't come on when I headed out for work tonight, so naturally I get pulled over twice on the way to work. First stop takes nearly 10 minutes for the trooper to run my license and issue me a fix it ticket. The local cop who pulled me over maybe 2 minutes later insisted on running...

    That was my thinking as well, Microsoft took a look as AOSP and added what they needed to windows. If Chrome can run .apks with a simple extension, it can't be much harder for windows. Edit: Apps that rely on Google APIs like play services and such may have issues running on windows. I know...

    I don't remember where I saw it or I'd link it, but my understanding was that for android apps, Win10 will run .apks with no modifications necessary, but iOS apps have to be ported.

    Generally, all in one modem/routers are pretty shitty. Looks like TWC found something even worse than the Ubee modems they have been using for a while. With the Comcast deal dead, I'm already seeing articles speculating about Charter buying TWC. Who do we have to kill to get some actual...

    Been running the latest technical preview on my surface pro 2 for the last week or so and it seems pretty solid. A few issues like the bluetooth drivers being a bit flakey (as the were on windows 8/8.1), random prompts for tablet mode and clicking on some notifications doing nothing. The new...

    It was always my understanding that landing on a barge was just a safety precaution and eventually this will be done on land. Watching the video, I guess things didn't go quite as well as I had though, as the vine SpaceX had posted earlier cuts out before things go sideways.

    So, SpaceX managed to land the first stage this time, but it ended up tipping over and was too damaged to be reused. At least it didn't explode. https://vine.co/v/euEpIVegiIx
