ShadySands Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Yesterday was the 8th anniversary of my first date with my wife so we went out to her (and my) favorite sushi spot. Our first date was also sushi but we didn't plan it like that, just a happy accident. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Yeah, I'm worried about my mom though. I doubt she can handle her ****, so to speak, and will eat too much nasty stuff.

Messier-31 Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 My boss drinks a lot of coffee, I on the other hand prefer tea. There's this running gag of sorts at my office: my boss asks me do I want coffee, everyday. And I refuse, everyday. Usually after that he quips about advantages of coffee drinking, like "It is so healthy" or "You won't be weary at work". The other day he starts yawning big time, so I say "Who's weary now, greenhorn?" It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...
Malcador Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 My S4 isn't going to get patched for that BT vulnerability, so am looking at a new phone. Think I need financing.

ShadySands Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 My phone has been stuck in a boot loop since yesterday so I'm also in the market for a new phone. Problem is I've been waiting for the Pixel 2 and I dunno how long I can go without a phone so waiting for that to finally come out may not be an option Free games updated 3/4/21

ShadySands Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Google is overnighting me a free replacement phone even though the warranty is expired on my current phone. I have the protection plan or whatever they sell but there is a deductible for that so the customer service rep was just like **** it have a new one for free and I couldn't say no to that.

Keyrock Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) I don't understand the appeal of top of the line extremely expensive phones. What exactly do $600 phones do that my $80 LG Stylo 2 doesn't? All I really care about is having a halfway decent camera (which I do). Beyond that, all phones make calls, text, and run google maps just as well as any other phone. What do you get on a $600 phone that you don't get on a $100 phone? A nicer shell? I use a wallet case, I never see the shell. A higher resolution screen? Do you really need anything above 720p on a screen thst small? I won't give you the myth about the human eye not being able to tell the difference beyond a certain pixel density, but at a certain point you get insanely deminishing returns for a hefty markup. The ability to play ****ty mobile games with shinier graphics? WOW! Candy Crush at 4K, what a time to be alive.

ShadySands Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) For me it's just a shiny new toy* and I have no problems admitting that *to also include cars, guns, and computers and anything else where there is a much cheaper option that provides the same basic functionality Edited September 14, 2017 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21
Hurlshort Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 The phone usually comes with the plan, for me.

So you're trading in someone stealing your fingerprints to someone stealing your face... seems risky.
Gfted1 Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I hadn't thought of that... One cool feature that Ive read about, is that FaceID will not work when your eyes are closed. So no more worrying about random strangers entering my house while I'm asleep and accessing my phone. Phew, bullet dodged. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
