My good ol' Rugged Samsung boots @ -40 even a leaving it in the car over night. Sure it runs Android 4.4.1 never receiving an update ever. But it'll boot up.
From the department of who cares. I certainly don't buy a phone because "it has the best display ever". That to me basically says "the display that'll suck my battery dry the fastest".
I agree with the multi ads. Pisses me off with Spotify & now YouTube. If it were a 10-30 second ad fine, but when it runs multiple, I get tired of waiting and turn it off
It's 2.07 because Facebook went on that campaign where they were creating profiles for "everyone" whether they were a user or not. So others could tag them (without their knowledge of course). Nobody really made a stink oddly enough (head scratch). Now active users vs fake users vs db created users would be an interesting ratio.
I had cable for many years too. Was about $160 a month. I thought I'd get value out of it since 5 Yank stations promoted NFL, I tune in to the stations, it was either 5 stations of Buffalo Bills or Deflategate Pats. I also thought hey I got SportsNet & TSN both havnig 5 stations each such as West, East, Central, but I tune in to watch MLB or NHL and it's 5 stations of the regional team. When I inquired why West doesn't show Western teams, they go o it's based on your region. Defeats the point really of 5 stations. So I realized i was watching 5 stations, so I called up said Cable company explaining hey I watch 5 stations, I'll give you $5 per station and delete the rest. They stated COULDN'T BE DONE, they suggested I enroll in basic cable then add on the 5 stations I did want, but that brought me back to like $75 dollars....for 5 stations I wanted. So, money in hand, they wouldn't give me what I wanted at a price I'd be willing to pay. So Cancel city, I tried to give them money, they wouldn't accept it your honor.
I used to work as an Asus repair tech and the building beside us was RIM at the time. I had to periodically walk through there and was 100% women. They hired 1 guy, Monday he started working with the girls, that's all they could talk about was how great it was to work with a guy, they don't get why no guy lasts. He joked with them n such, they loved it..... Until 1 got offended by a joke slash tease, then they turned on him like a pack of wolves. By Friday he was fired because of the stink the women made about his jokes (that they all loved beginning of the week).
Even our cleaning lady hated that department, too much drama, backstabbing and cutting others up. She'd hide out in our building because all the guys did was their work and messed with eachother (we all knew it was in good fun, which it was).
As big of a predator Walmart is to local economy, still amuses me they're complaining about Amazon and how "unfair" they are. The day I see robots flying around Walmart, is the day I exclusively buy from Amazon. Suck it Walmart,
They already do 1 or 2 options right now. They leave it in my backyard at my backdoor. OR they leave this neat little high tech slip of paper detailing the precise GPS location I can pick up box with slip & ID.
To me these are working pretty well up until this point.
When they tried to charge me $500 to replace a Nexus mobo, that's when I buy the $100 part from a parts company and replace it. These technologies are not difficult to repair (former Asus repair tech)
They tried something different in Canada, offered a barebones cheap minimum package for low income then can add channels as needed. Boasted how great it was. The only problem was, the channels you got in the basic package were the ones nobody wanted and by the time you added the 5 channels you do want, it cost more than a package.
Not everyone can walk out and afford a 40K brand new electric car. Then have to pay an additional pile of money to install a charging station at their residence. And good luck having enough charging stations at apartment buildings or on the street where some people park. Then factor in the high rate for electricity. The issue has become, these cars haven't had a chance to filter down to the non 1% people into the used car lots. Until they make it affordable, I'll be driving my dieselgate VW.
Amazon is a part of it. But local stores don't sell what I'm looking for 90â... of the time. So I have to turn to Amazon/eBay to purchase what I wanted.
Plus, why are local businesses mad? They're planning to move to all robots and screw employees, people just said well if I must order from a robot, I'll have it shipped to my door.
Lower phone price? Get a grip. New latest Flag ship phones run$1000. Or you could buy a no name Amazon phone with similar specs for $80. Even if your no name Amazon phone dies once a year, still cheaper and better off than A Samsung
How can torrenting "get you sued". Most countries have decided that you are not your IP address. So unless they confiscate your laptop, find the movie, they don't really have a leg to stand on. Especially if you're storage hard drive is encrypted.
Well ya, when most kids now adays live in moms basement till they're 30, that probably explains how they finally move out. "Aw shit she's knocked up". Her "let's move in together for cheap rent"
Same, I took a look at what's out, and closed my browser. Only summer movie I saw was Despicable Me 3 (for the little one). Other than that, a hard pass on Super Hero movies.
I don't know how movies are being "made for the Chinese". I know there's a pile of new shows being dubbed"American such n such". American God's American Ripper. Pretty'Murican enough for the rest of us.
There's simply nothing worth watching since almost every movie is Super Hero based. They were banking on a series of cookie cutter movies and flopped.
Kia is notoriously bad like this. My uncle bought a car from them, came with no floor mats. When he went back, dealership said "that's extra". He called me, I called corporate and week later he had his mats.

Just ask the NFL their views on it lol. Seen enough coaches throwing theirs.

They can do like they always do. Leave it at my back door.

Yep same way with Audi, need the 20 minute diagnostic tool to reset the oil service light so only Dealership can do it
No worse than Walmart coming to town.
Malwarebytes blocks Coinhive nonsense also.

Kaspersky was always in the discount bin any time I was at Best Buy.

Also it'll become illegal for diesel vehicle owners to claim they're "rollin coal".
