Linux on a phone (true Linux) is like my holy grail device. If it's able to seamlessly transition between a "desktop" mode when docked and a "phone" mode when not, even better. I have a Gemini PDA on order (dual boo

Mortal Kombat wasn't amazing but it's definitely watchable. The sequel, on the other hand...

I'm glad I don't have any warranty nightmare stories, mine have been universally painless (mostly for computer parts). I've sent back a couple of hard drives over the years and I don't think I even had to talk to custome

Write a book, maybe? You'd have to be insane to hire her or invest in anything she does in the future.

My favorite Tom Lehrer song is probably New Math. https://youtube.com/watch?v=UIKGV2cTgqA With its clever lyrics and rapid fire delivery it sounds like it could have come out last year and not fifty years ago.

I doubt reddit is happy about the popularity of porn on their site in general. Look at /r/all with the NSFW filter off and it's like 10% porn. That can't be good when they're trying to attract advertisers. I agree i

Pornhub has an opportunity here to branch out if they wanted to. They have the infrastructure, they could open a more general use, non-pornographic video hosting service.

Yeah, gundeals was strictly dealers only. There were other subs (probably banned now too) for legal person to person sales.

I've deleted both my YouTube and reddit accounts. I've been trying to de-Google my life, this will probably accelerate that. Just need a proper mobile Linux device and I can finally dump Android.

I always make a backup of all my work before trying to check it into ClearCase. It should not be possible to accidentally delete files when adding them to source control or checking them in.

My first smartphone was a Motorola Droid. It was painfully slow and had horrendous battery life. Each successive phone I've owned since has steadily improved both usability and battery life. My current phone has twice the battery capac

The Bluetooth in my car worked reasonable well for a couple of years until one day it stopped working entirely. Thankfully it has an aux connector (and I'll never buy a phone without a 3.5mm jack).

There's always that one guy asking why a product exists when it's "trivial" to spin up and manage yourself.

I occasionally give gesture typing a try since it's built into a lot of keyboards now and I've also found it to be imprecise. On a normal software keyboard I can type as fast as I want and count on autocorrect to fix most of my mi

I tried to order something today that's in stock and sold by Amazon and the delivery estimate was next Friday through the following Tuesday. I didn't bother and instead ordered it from Target for the same price and I'll have

It's all but impossible to buy a high quality dumb TV these days. I bought a 4k TV this past year with the intention of never connecting it to the internet but I guess I didn't do enough research because I can't even access a

I use Newsblur now (and even pay $25 or something for the yearly subscription) and it's pretty good but I still miss Google Reader.

A lot of Motorola phones are also easy to unlock and flash custom ROMs. Which is good since they are horrendous at providing updates.

I haven't used anything other than Defender (and the Microsoft tool that predated it, can't remember the name) in ages. I've never had any issues.

I go to Target like three times a week on average. $99 a year for same day delivery is totally worth it for me.

I'm really looking forward to the release of this. Im hoping to replace my phone with it, a device that dual boots Linux and Android and has a physical keyboard is like my dream phone.

I won't even consider buying a phone without a headphone jack. To me it would be like buying a computer without USB ports. The technology is decades old, still works perfectly, and there isn't a suitable replacement for it yet.

I use an encrypted container in Dropbox. I retain complete control over my files but they are still backed up, and Dropbox is smart enough to only upload the diff if something in the container changes. It's a little inconvenient in tha
