I'd still hold off for at least 3 months, given the Oppo/OnePlus track record of SOFTWARE PROBLEMS with the OnePlus One, OnePlus Two, OnePlus X. After about 3 months, they seem to get things moving a LOT better. The only caveat to that would be this phone is almost like the OnePlus Two from last year, different display, processor, ram, but similar. The OnePlus Two, was suppose to be the Oppo Find9, but with the overheating 810 processor, after the feedback from the beta testers (OnePlus phones), Oppo chose NOT to release the Find9 until the 820 processor, so perhaps they use the same software as the Two did, so the bugs this year won't take as long to squash. But, it might be better to let the eager beavers weed out the problems, if you just want to plug it in and use it without FC's, rebooting, wipe/reinstalls etc.
BUT #1, I'm a CONSTITUTION guy. THAT comes before this!
You are ALWAYS presumed INNOCENT, until CONVICTED!
Here's how this works in my mind. They take all the money out of your account(s). Say it take 2-3 months (heck, probably more than SIX)
for them to return the money. How much INTEREST did the OHP make, before they give you your assets back??
Amen, couldn't have said it better!
One side or the other, gets their group worked up to fever pitch to go after
the opposite viewpoint group, to shut them up.
Market is saturated.
Global economy is still pretty much in the tank.
Smartphones are BORING.
"Flagships" are WAY to expensive.
Everyone already has one.
Until the economy gets out of the toilet, and manufacturers come up with something that makes people
go WOW, instead YAWN, who wants to pay upwards of 700 dollars for something that works exactly
like last years model, with a faster processor, a couple megapixels more for the camera, and a gimmick
here or there?
We turn these things on, download apps, and automatically click the accept button, because they
have a 1,503 page unreadable document.
We scream and complain about privacy, but we gave it up decades ago.
I use a generator...18 characters.
I know people who use a random generator, but use a simple one for their master key....BRILLIANT!
Ask why, they say "what if I forget my master password?" LOL
Back in the days of 9600 to 33.6k modems, my password to log into a dialup BBS was 9 characters,
a word, but up/lower case, along with a $ and ! thrown in.
First thing I do when I get a new computer, is either set it up (not connected to the network), then pull the drive,
shelve it, install a blank drive, install the OS clean. If something happens to the computer during the warranty,
pop the original drive back in, send it back for warranty. Keep MY data off anyone who works on it.
Easiest way to keep the malware, bloatware and other crap off the computer.
about computers being hacked, is about like watching "social media" jump on something before
THE TRUTH is known. Social media blows up a story, then when the TRUTH comes out, they
won't believe it anyway. Just think Ferguson...
No big deal. Been screwing with computers for 35 years. For my elderly parents? NOPE.
I used the grc.com app to lock the update off their windows 7 computers. It was easier to do that,
then to dump/lock/change the settings to make their computers look like windows 7.
LOL, if it were stolen, who the heck could read it?
Kind of like your kids today. Write everything in cursive. Most schools don't teach it anymore since most people
don't write anything, but text, type it on a computer;)
The constant "news" about the illegal activity on her servers & email problems, by the time November gets here, it will be
another "what difference does it make" moment. The lib media will protect her, and, given the fact that over 100 people
associated with Bill & Hillary have met with untimely DEATHS, some people are probably hoping NOTHING happens to
it for fear of watching their backs 24/7;)
I know several people, that if they don't eat SOMETHING, 4,5,6 times a day, their blood sugar drops to a dangerous
level.
First thing I do when I wake up is drink a 16 oz glass of water. That way if I do eat something 30-45 minutes later,
I'm more likely not to scarf down 2nds at a breakfast bar etc.
Nuclear reactors for these.
On a side note, I don't know why anyone would want to spend a vacation, with around 10,000 other people on a ship this big.
I guess because of its size, you'd never see the whole thing, but when I think of vacation, I think of GETTING AWAY from people.
THIS is the problem with the USA. Over the last 50 years, we've divided ourselves up into ethnic groups.
We use to be called AMERICANS.
But, now we've divided ourselves up into little groups
African Americans
Asian Americans
Native Americans
White Americans
and on and on. We pit ourselves into one group or another. We use to be "out of many, one" but
now we are just splintered factions, fighting each other, with no end in sight.
slip & fall, if you worked in the shipping industry, if you or a loved one were taking the xyz drug, you could be ENTITLED to compensation
lawyers are to blame for this crap.
You went out the night before, had a couple drinks. You back into a car at work, they test you for alcohol and it registered.002, some idiot
lawyer will sue the company you work for.
Most of these slip & fall types aren't looking to go to court. They pretty much know the tipping point for companies. If the amount is under
what it would cost the company to defend it, they'll usually settle, which is what the slip & fall types want. They end up with 20-50% or more
and the "victim" gets very little.
In a class action, it's WORSE. Say a corporation is found liable for cancer, like the asbestos crap. Not saying asbestos is good, but 50 years
ago, no one had any idea. Companies had to dole out BILLIONS, and the law firm(s) got the lions share of the money.
Until tort reform has some teeth, look for companies to continue to drug test. Not that its right, but I don't blame em.
Maybe someone will perfect it some day. Annoys the hell out of me hearing people in the UNITED STATES
babbling on in foreign languages. You want to be an American? Live in America? Work in America?
Learn the damn language! ENGLISH! Don't like it? leave.
I couldn't care less. What do other cities look like? Once again, down with the "evil" USA and their "waste"
How about showing ALL cities in the world?
When, in the USA at least, IT'S THE CARRIERS that actually push any updates, to the phones, not the
manufactures. And, it's easier to DELAY or just flat out not update them, and wait for customers to come to
the store, and talk them into a NEW phone, with all the updates (at the time) installed. It's worked for them
so far, because consumers, for the most part, are lDIOTS!
How many hundreds or thousands of islands appeared and disappeared on this planet, LONG BEFORE man even set foot on it?
The islands in the ring of fire have been coming and going for centuries, but with the DOPES in the world who actually believe this
"man made" global warming crap, they are easier to control thinking their even breathing is causing ice to melt, polar bears to drown
(because of the ice melting)...they can be told how to act/live, which is the entire desire of this garbage.
Sure there is a benefit! Look how much money the federal government receives from the tobacco taxes.
Other than that, pretty much zip.
If there were no tax on tobacco, it probably wouldn't be around.
Pretty much all politicians feel they are above the law. Remember the house banking scandal back in the 80's?
They would write checks from the house bank for cash even though they had NO MONEY in their account?
How about all of the politicians that owe the IRS millions of dollars for taxes never paid?
Now, if you or I tried this, they would throw our butts in prison, but, because they are a politician, they get away
with it. Why? Because they write the "laws" and are the ones who hand out money each year, and they can make
those departments lives miserable, if they don't do what congress says.
Two rules in the world. One for politicians, and one for everyone else.
People that follow hashtags, "trending" crap on social media, need to turn off the phone and go outdoors
once in a while. There is a whole world out there!

If like some think, wonder how long it will be til it reaches its limit, and starts contracting? ;)
