  1. What 8 inch tablet (android) ?

    Good to know. I knew the 810 had issues but never ran into them until Bloons making it choke. Maybe I'm oblivious to lags and micro-stutters but I've never noticed them in my everyday use and the phone's generally been smooth for me.
  2. What 8 inch tablet (android) ?

    I've used the Huawei Mediapad M3 for most of the the past year. It's a good replacement for my 2013 Nexus 7 for my primary uses (web/email, lots of video, and some gaming). The CPU is surprisingly capable, at least when comparing Bloons TD5 performance on it and my Nexus 6P--the 6P chugs and...
  3. So how is the Grand Mac?

    Only 15%? It seemed much bigger than that to me, to the point where I felt over-full finishing one. It's basically a huge Big Mac, nothing more.
  4. What's a fast reliable way to transfer a large # of files between phones?

    Same here. SendAnywhere also works from Android to/from Android and Windows 10 to/from Android which covers every use case I have.
  5. Montreal Canada, Eh?

    Adult here. I went to Montreal and to the Biodome a few years ago. The butterfly exhibit there was awesome...looks like it's still there but I'm not sure if it's permanent and/or seasonal. Montreal is also home to my favorite restaurant anywhere, Joe Beef. We feasted there and closed the place...
  6. .

    Without knowing what functionality you're looking for specifically, Solid Explorer is the file explorer I've seen suggested the most. I'm old school and still use the very first file explorer I ever tried for Android that still meets my admittedly basic needs, Root Explorer.
  7. Walmart buys Jet.com for $3b to compete with Amazon

    American here who spends thousands of dollars online shopping annually. Never heard of Jet before this news broke.
  8. Headed to Chicago in a couple weeks, questions... (Updated)

    Stuff worth doing not mentioned yet: Go to the John Hancock building's Signature Lounge which IMO offers better views than the Sears Tower. Note that it's a different elevator to get there than to the actual observatory level. For the price of admission, you get one "free" drink in the lounge...
  9. people who have vacationed to europe - first timer looking for some advice

    Agreed. I flew into Nice for a Southern France vacation a few years ago. Nice is a dump compared to nearby Villefranche-sur-Mer (where I was staying), Monaco, or Antibes (visited the latter two). OP: If you look into dullard's great suggestions, I'd also recommend Collioure although that...
  10. So, are we saying VR crapped the bed already?

    I don't think that model holds true anymore given how practically everyone has access to mountains of porn at their fingertips. It's not some rare, taboo thing that was hard to come by like it was back in the days of magazines, VHS/Beta or even the early days of DVD. I agree with vi edit on...
  11. Considering switch from Sprint to Project Fi

    Does Project Fi actually work with phones other than the Nexus 5X, 6 and 6P? I know some people have gotten it to work on iPhones but that the process was a crapshoot and that some functionality may be lost on phones that aren't officially supported.
  12. Am I being racist for wanting my kid to go to a diverse school?

    I was in elementary and high school in the 80's and early 90's in the Chicago suburbs; I have no doubt that people's experiences will vary depending on where they are in this case. In my schools, true to stereotypes, black students tended to be better athletes and Asians tended to have book...
  13. Am I being racist for wanting my kid to go to a diverse school?

    I'm not white and I went to an elementary school that was 95% white and a high school that was probably 75% white and didn't run into any of that beyond one high school fight with a guy who was known to be a dick to everyone.
  14. I am happy that i use an adblocker because it protects against malvertising ?

    Not that I doubt you, but what YouTube videos have ads inserted in the middle? I regularly watch quite a few longer videos that would seem to be prime targets for such ads (game quick looks that range anywhere from 30-90 minutes in length) and have never seen an ad in the middle or at the end of...
  15. What to do in Stockholm?

    Go to the Vasa Museum. I'm not a fan of museums when I travel because they take away from all the other things you can be seeing or doing in your limited time but that one completely sucked me in. I'm also the weirdo who spent like three hours *voluntarily* riding the metro to different...
  16. i picked the worst time for a europe vacation :(

    To be fair, most people are idiots incapable of assessing realistic risks if the rhetoric spewed by our politicians on both sides of the aisle is any indication. People have already said it--just go and enjoy yourself. You're more likely to get hit by a car leaving your house than caught up...
  17. project fi is available for everyone now!

    Fi data and voice have been fine for me so far aside from the occasional slow transition from wifi to mobile data but I'm having the unusual problem of not being to receive SMS/MMS from anyone not on T-Mobile; I can send SMS/MMS successfully to those people, though. I filed a support ticket with...
  18. Uber Made Me Do It

    My Android phone doesn't seem to have the option to decline Satan permissions. Is that an Apple or Windows Phone thing?
  19. 9/29 Google Press Event Discussion (Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X)

    I don't own one but my friend complains endlessly about the 5X being laggy and crash prone and the camera being garbage. Various forum posts seem to corroborate these claims. Hopefully that performance update actually corrects some or all of the issues.
  20. This is Uber's New Logo

    Because that worked so well for Marissa Mayer who had significant input on Yahoo's new logo that looks as bland as a logo could possibly be.
  21. Vegas baby! Need some things to do.

    Try your hand at the dumbest table game out there, casino war--yes, it's the card game war played for money. Somehow I managed to make it out about $150 up last time I was there in December. Beats being a few hundred down at blackjack. As far as restaurants, my personal favorites are Bachi...
  22. Android on your PC: Remix OS

    You haven't met my parents whose ability to learn *anything* remotely technical ended some time in the mid 1990's. Per a comment on Ars Technica, apparently the USB 3.0 flash drive isn't a strict requirement to get this up and running so I may give it a spin and see if it indeed works without...
  23. Any reason NOT to go with Cricket over Sprint?

    I would hope this has changed by now but when I left Sprint two years ago, the speed above was about 32 times faster than any speed I was seeing on Sprint in the city of Chicago. I have absolutely no regrets leaving Sprint for AIO (now Cricket).
  24. BIGG phones and people who love them

    Nexus 6P with a 5.7" screen here. Coming from two years with the original Nexus 5 which I thought was the perfect size, I've adapted to the 6P faster than I ever would have anticipated.
  25. Cricket Wireless

    The $5 auto-pay discount took a month to kick in for me--I never needed to contact anyone at Cricket to get it working. Haven't had an issue with it since.
  26. To be clear, 32 versus 64 meg storage on phone will not affect performance, right?

    Beyond the obvious, the only performance issue I've ever seen related to low available memory is that Google Play won't download updates or new apps even when there's sufficient room (e.g., you have 400MB available and the app or update takes up considerably less space than that).
  27. 9/29 Google Press Event Discussion (Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X)

    The Verge's headline for that article has it exactly right: The Nexus 6P will snap in half if you try to snap it in half. Because things bend.
  28. 9/29 Google Press Event Discussion (Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X)

    My 6P arrived today, a week ahead of schedule (originally 11/10-12). I wouldn't have known about it without people here pointing out that their phones had started shipping early. For some reason I didn't get a confirmation of my order or anything related to shipping so I've been keeping tabs on...
  29. 9/29 Google Press Event Discussion (Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X)

    Same here--aluminum 64GB 6P order placed on 10/2 with shipping 11/10-12. WTF Google?
  30. Suggestions for the first time online shopper.

    And downloading porn over a 14.4k modem. I echo the advice to stick with the majors at first. If you do any price comparisons you may be tempted to save a few bucks by going with a no-name seller. While the odds are against anything going wrong buying from lesser-known sellers, there's a...
  31. There's a mobile equivalent for every PC game

    I meant a steak that's prepared by someone who knows what they're doing.
  32. There's a mobile equivalent for every PC game

    Just because some people would rather go to McDonald's instead of a steakhouse doesn't make a McDonald's burger in any way equivalent to a well-prepared steak.
  33. Amazon's new $50 tablet

    That looks suspiciously like the original Fire from years ago. Did they just lower the price in hopes of clearing warehouse space?
  34. So Did Lenovo Finally Ruin Motorola?

    "Ruined" is a bit strong. We'll need to see if poor update support becomes a trend. Even with their recent update faux pas, Motorola is still one of the few hardware manufacturers I'd consider since they use a near-stock Android largely devoid of bloatware and I like their relatively minimalist...
  35. Nexus 5X vs. Moto G (2015)

    I've been using the Moto G 2015 as a temportary replacement for about three weeks now after using the Nexus 5 2013 for almost two years. While the Moto G's battery life is nothing short of amazing, that's the only thing it has going for it, IMO. The Moto G simply doesn't compare to the Nexus 5...
  36. Any better mini keyboard recommendations for XBMC before I buy this?

    I owned the Rii i8. Let's just politely say it was not a good device. The device couldn't hold a signal with my HTPC which was about 7 feet away and usability was subpar. It's collecting dust in a drawer currently. My HTPC keyboard of choice was the Logitech K400. It is a good device but the...
  37. Your wish list for the LG Nexus Bullhead (N5 2015)?

    I wish I had gotten a white Nexus 5 only because of the speaker dot being white, making it easier to quickly tell which way to hold the phone. If it's the same way with the N5 2015, I'll wait and see what colors come out before diving in.
  38. I think I want a Sony RX100 IV. Anyone have one?

    I just got the RX100 M2 and haven't had a chance to test it beyond random snapshots around the house yet. Some initial impressions, I believe both of which will apply to the M4: --The M2 is TINY. If my memory's not failing me (and being too lazy to check Google for specs), it's smaller than the...
  39. What's considered to be "above average" internet speed nowadays in the US?

    I can believe the 15-20 cited in this thread but there's literally no way it's 50. I know people whose home "broadband" is 3mbps down/500kbps up who suffer with those atrocious speeds because they simply won't pay more (we're talking people with expendable income too). That's not even taking...
  40. Are All HR Departments Useless?

    That reminds me of a recent interaction with HR. In my group, we vet resumes before they do and ask them to set up initial contact interviews to see if a candidate is likely to be a good fit. We targeted someone as a potential mid-level, research manager candidate. Per an internal email I was...
