woke up this morning with $1000 withdrawn from my checking account. Someone hacked my paypal and helped themselves to my money. I called the bank and put a stop payment (it was still processing), and it was a minor headache as the support kept transferring me from one department to another.

I'm on Android O now. It's... practically the same as 7.1.2 that the phone came with. How boring.

They shuffled around some things in the settings etc and I've already had three support calls with my dad because things look just slightly differently (or are arranged slightly differently) so he gets confused. This is Windows levels of fuckery.

That was a pointless waste of time, I guess. And bandwidth. A gigabyte per phone, for that.

Tasty · « **Reply #5050 on:** January 30, 2018, 09:34:49 AM »

Which phone do you have?

Oreo was a pretty nice upgrade but nothing earth-shattering.

Corporal · « **Reply #5051 on:** January 30, 2018, 09:48:34 AM »

Xiaomi Mi A1, middle of the road phone (4 GB RAM, 64 GB Flash, 625 CPU), released under the Android One label so no added fluff besides a custom camera app and an IR remote app and an Indian(?) social network app and... I think that's all.

It's pretty sweet, all things considered. Ranted and raved somewhere in this thread about the freaking google search and -assistant invading nearly every button press and app, but after installing nova launcher and fucking around with some settings I'm rather content.

...and if google allowed me to access the FM radio without fucking around with a service menu or rooting my phone and crawling around in the guts, it would be even better. But oh well. German radio is something I'd listen to once every three years or so. If I had no other option. And was forced at gunpoint. But still, it's stupid that they hid it away.

My thumb has been fucking sore for a few days now. I know it's because I always use my phone with one hand and now I've been trying to stop but goddammit I just can't type on my phone with my index finger while holding the phone in the other hand, I'm physically unable to do it. It's the way old people use their phones, I've never done it and I can't learn it now $:-\$ I now try to remember to keep a pen with a stylus tip on me at all times and use that instead but it feels so dumb. I used to have a Note but I never used its stylus for typing either. I think I use messaging apps too much to get this level of pain

I guess I'll just keep massaging my thumb and using pain relief gels and hope something will finally work. And when the ache's gone and I forget all about it I'm just going to start using my phone with one hand again

I've got a trip scheduled to leave next Thursday to Russia. I really want to go but it was last minute notice and I had to get a business letter of invitation which has to be issued by the Russian government. It takes 7-9 business days. Today was day 7 and I got nothing. They take tomorrow off so I know it's not coming tomorrow and Thursday is the last day I can receive it, drop my visa application and get it back in time for my flight next Thursday. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

So now I'm stressing.

if you stopped being a wimp you could type faster with your index finger faster than you ever could with your thumb.

2 thumbs are faster than an index finger.

Bought a pair of Apple's Lightning connector earphones, because my son was borrowing my standard jack ones. I need a mic-equipped pair for work, so this precluded them being useful to him. I think i mentioned here, first thing was my wife borrowed them, but only once.

My iPhone 6 battery life is straight garbage. Not on the same unbelievable tier of the old 4S, but bad. I bought a case with a built-in battery. That's' helped, but it turns out the case doesn't do pass-through for the Lightning, so the Lightning headset doesn't work with the case. I switch out for my old no-battery MagPul case so I can use the headset.

I go to a downtown meeting on Monday, turns out they'd moved the time from 11AM to 2:30PM, so I've got to entertain myself. My phone battery is dying. I buy a charger battery at a convenience store. It adds 30% to the charge, then the phone says the "accessory may not be recognized" and stops charging.

After returning home, I switch back to the the battery-case, only now the phone charge is draining faster than ever. The screen may also be popping out a bit, which was an "infected" battery last time it happened.

I may be getting a new phone sooner than I can afford it. $:-\$

Not sure if it applies to Japan but Apple is offering $30 battery replacements at Apple Stores in the US because of all the bad press they were getting. I think it applies to iPhone 6 and up over here.

Thanks.

I replaced my screen with a 3rd party one, so Apple may decline to service it at all. But I'll ask first. :-/

Anyway yeah I'm trying to use my index finger now like a damn 60 year old. Feels lame. At least my thumb's getting some rest and it doesn't hurt as much today.

I was turning on the car this morning for my wife so it would heat up before she hits the commute, but I think I dropped my phone and now I'm stuck all day without a phone. Was supposed to call some city council about permits for a coffee cart but I guess that will be tomorrow.

New math huh. First, we had addition. Now, with Math 2018, we humbly introduce... a way to add like never before! This handy new tech we like to call Multiplication lets you add countless amounts of numbers in just a single operation!

No but seriously though, all the best. Hope the numbers work out.

Maybe snap a few pics if/once you have something to show. It's always interesting to see such things come to life.

Also, pimp your cart out with racing stripes. Red ones. Trust me, I'm an expert.

There's this thing going around Twitter* where you post the first thing you ever bought from the comically evil book selling website and when I checked mine it was a Tahar Wattar novel ~10 years ago. This is a very specific kind of self-ownage.

It's official, I'm white.

Previously thought to be 50% Filipino, and less than 50% European mix (paternal side contains either 3.15% or 6.25% Chinese, thanks Great Great Great Grandpa "Sheets"!), I have discovered my mother is 25% Spanish, which means I am majority European. On the plus side, I am now Hispanic.

If it makes you feel any better, a good chunk of /pol/ might not consider you as white.

last night I dreamt I had 4 prostitutes living with me. I made them work for me until I was able to get a really nice car, I think, and then I buried them alive in a nearby lot where there is concrete foundation being poured sometime in the next night. There was sadly no explicit sexual or violent content in the dream.

Well, gas heater shut off another week

While searching for a leak in the building, the guy mandated to do the roof found out our gas heater wasn't connected to the chimney. Fix was due today but because it snowed for 2 days apparently the part wasn't delivered.

A friend offered me to take a shower and I'm using an electric heater to make do but boy no running hot water is not fun even though it's not the worst thing I had happen in a flat.
