I have never modified my car, and likely never will. But it’s MY CAR and I should be able to if I want to. I’m fine with rules about what you can and can’t do while you’re still paying it off (since the loan company owns part of it). I’m fine with it voiding warranties, tinkering is an “at your own risk” kind of…

That's what I was going to suggest too. Even if Netflix isn't a perfect replacement for you because of sports or something, when money is tight, it's going to be good enough for pretty much everyone if it means saving $50 - $100 per month.

Some of the digital ones you actually can guarantee the quality by downloading it in advance. I can’t speak for other services since I haven’t used them, but I know with movies you buy through Google Play, you can have it download the video onto your Android device in advance, and the watch it even with no Internet…

Never say never. The only industry as insane about this stuff as the movie industry, is the music industry. And somehow we’ve gone from DRM filled crap, to every major service offers DRM free music files that you can actually download, and almost all the in the same file format of mp3.

I completely agree. I wish movie files were in a standard DRM free format that you could download as well as stream. We won’t be there anytime soon, but it could happen eventually, that’s what we have with music now.

Ah, I haven't heard of that happening, but I can't say I'm surprised. Definitely sounds like a good idea to still keep restaurant receipts then, at least until the transaction is no longer "pending" and has actually gone through a couple days later with the full amount.

Honestly I don’t understand how the game got released without this feature. How did they not realize how awful the long enemy turns were? I thought the game sounded neat and tried the demo before the game was released. I was enjoying the actual game play a bit, but didn’t even finish the demo because it was driving me…

Well for the occasional small purchase there's nothing wrong with just using cash and not tracking it, like I would do with the soda from a vending machine example in my original article. But if you make enough small purchases, it can add up to a meaningful amount even if each one individually is small. It would be a…

It can be faster at times, especially anywhere that involves a tip because that generally means you just set it and leave, no need for change because that's part of the tip.

Some great tips here! My tip for dealing with cash transactions is just don't use cash. Rather than manually add g the transactions and everything, or manually splitting the "cash and atm" withdrawal, just don't use cash in the first place. Cash doesn't get rewards points, cash can be stolen, cash takes longer. There…

Luckily I won’t be wearing a $2000 suit! Yeah I think you’re right that just glancing at my wrist won’t be too conspicuous. As you and ARP2 pointed out, as long as I’m not really focused on it, it will probably actually draw less attention then pulling out my phone would, so wearing it might actually help make me less…

That’s a good point. I obviously have to bring my phone, and looking at a watch is probably less conspicuous than pulling out an expensive smartphone.

Does a Moto 360 count as “flashy stuff”? To me it implies that I probably have a nice smartphone too, and those things combined imply I might have some cash in my pocket as well. But to someone who doesn’t know a lot about smartwatches, they may just see a watch and for all they know it’s worth $10.

I do have Lollipop (2014 Moto X) and the adaptive brightness is quite good 99% of the time. The only time I mess with the slider in the notification shade, is when I’m in pitch black, like as I’m getting in bed at night. At that point, I’ll often turn the brightness all the way down and wish I could go lower, which is…

Yeah 1080 is ridiculous enough, but now qHD and beyond? It’s maybe useful in a Samsung phone if you get the gear VR, by for everyone else, it’s just stupidly unnecessary.

Could be useful at night too, less pixels means less blue light, but this would (presumably) preserve the color of what you're looking at better than other apps that shift the display towards red. I'll definitely check out this app.

If it doesn’t come out in the states, I will probably cry.

So really there’s two versions, not four. They just found a creative way to do the download version without splitting it. And the special edition is just a combo.

When I was young, I thought this holiday was stupid. Now it’s probably my favorite holiday. I’m actually more excited for today, than I am for tomorrow (tomorrow is my birthday). I lost it laughing last night when I saw Smart box, specifically the part of the video where they say the full name: Smartbox by Inbox by…

Oh awesome! The screenshot above looks like just one mixed list, in pure chronological order. The update hasn’t rolled out to me yet, but it sounds like its even better than I thought. Thanks!
