    History of this message board

    That's a name I've not heard in a very long time... I played FFXI at the time, and his antics crossed into my shard and Linkshell. Fuck. I think I put that out of my brain over the years. Something odd about watching that from afar.

    Microsoft exchange or something?

    On top of that, most of the small business versions allow a good amount of access to AAD features like 2FA requirements for accounts. Deployed the service for years, and it was the go-to for an easily deployable system that has a lot of functionality to use if you choose. While it can be a...

    Bandwagon's Drones Thread

    Have you owned a drone before? I'm going to give you my experiences so far from a new owner with hobbyist RC knowledge and too much time to do research while unemployed. That being said, I'd give the Air 2 a try. I've had mine a few weeks now and have been over the moon with it. While biking...

    Indeed I did say that. I tried out the 6P about a year and a half ago because my Nexus 5 finally shit the bed. I hate the size of the 6P, but it runs smoothly and was cheap at the time. I was running an Xperia X, but after the last Concept ROM from Sony made BT almost unusable I decided to move...

    Finally decided to pick up an S8 to see what flagships are all about these days and have been nothing but disappointed so far. I get that the screen is goddamn wonderful, but there's too many small niggles to spend $800 and feel good about it. Are there any SD835 devices that are 5" or less...

    Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius

    So I'm finally joining back into some mobile games. Is this worth picking up at this point? I enjoyed FFRK for a while but the amount of characters became a little overwhelming when I left for a year or so after the initial release.

    Swype/Swiftkey/etc are already on iOS8, but there are a lot of limitations on the keyboard API in the current iteration. Quality is iffy assuming you're coming from Android, but they do provide the ability to use a swipe style keyboard. They don't allow usage in certain apps/locations, so it can...

    Rightfully so. It appears some people are struggling with issues related to both the 5.0 and 5.1 update on their Nexus 7 and Nexus 5 devices, causing a hard brick when trying to erase either the Cache or Userdata partitions. I haven't seen this issue personally, but had a friend bring this to...

    True. Updates are much quicker when using an iOS device, though you can sidestep this with Android by going with something like a Nexus device or someone like Motorola. They've really stepped up their game when it comes to OS updates by moving most of the applications to downloads and allowing a...

    I'd agree there. I worked for a company that focused on NFC deployments within advertising and it has been quite hard to just drop a tool that has some pretty decent use cases for me personally. Not much to be said about case or no case. Valid point, but still pretty weak shot against the...

    Earlier this year I decided to take a challenge from a housemate who is incredibly entrenched in the iOS ecosystem. I took three months and set aside every Android device I had and replaced them with comparable iOS counterparts. My Nexus 5 was replaced with an iPhone 6, and my 2013 Nexus 7...

    Ahh, you're right. I don't know why I thought 805. I didn't mean to make those few quibbles sound like dealbreakers, I just have little girl hands and prefer sub 5" devices since I always have my N7 or iPad Mini with me, as I'd rather read on that than a mobile phone. I stand by saying that...

    As people here know, I tend to go through phones quickly, so hopefully I can shed a bit of insight into how you may feel about the OPO. I've owned (and really liked) the M7, and felt that it was about the "right" size for a phone considering my usage. I personally don't mind a smaller screen...

    To be fair, you're also getting a much better build quality, metal frame, qi charging and up to 128GB internal storage. While this may not seem like a bonus to some people, the overall reviews have been overwhelmingly positive about the build quality and say that the phone feels as though it has...

    Better scoop up one of those boxes before they become worth some money! /s I can actually see how their marketing team may be a bit worried at the moment. You can't (generally) take away a medal from something like the Olympics, but the UFC? That shit changes hands all the time in one weight...

    There isn't a whole lot of information about this just yet, as Lenovo acquired the mobile division last year. If they retain the same release schedule, it will likely be August-October.

    This was a huge part of learning while climbing for me. I tend to do most of my climbing in gyms (or at least used to) but I'm stuck doing rehab/training in a shed right now due to finances. I learned more about climbing in the times I've been able to spend with people who are now incredibly...

    So, a month into trying out the iOS ecosystem again, I'm unsure if it is the right thing for me personally. I jumped in both feet and swapped out usage of my Nexus 5 and 7 to using a 2nd gen ipad mini w/ retina and an iphone 6. My first impressions are that Android still feels like it has a...

    The S3 was one of the last phones that included a Lithium-Ion battery instead of the newer (and more reliable) Lithium-Polymer batteries. Over roughly 500 charges, you can see a degradation of ~50% in worst case situations. That could be why you're seeing this type of battery loss, where the...

    Just get one of the other myriad of fitness trackers. They're cheaper, more attractive (subjective), and will give you a much better battery life over any of the up and coming smart watches.
