I use mine for work. It's not a critical part of my day-to-day job, but it's a convenient way to check and respond to email, read documents, etc. It's especially nice when traveling, so I don't have to lug a laptop with a power brick - instead I just take my tablet with a tiny BT keyboard, and my USB charger which I'd…

If you download and install Secure Settings, it will appear in the "Plugin" section of Tasker when you add a condition. You must install the Secure Settings Helper and be rooted (open the Secure Settings app and the option to download and install the helper is there).

I didn't say anything about the non-tipped staff.

I don't disagree that others should share in the tips (though the others are getting livable wages), just that the idea of dumping every server's tips into a pool and sharing it out among all the servers isn't really a good way to do it. There's nothing unfair about a hot waitress getting tipped because she's hot,…

For efficiency's sake, I never got around to it but you could probably use a counting variable for all of the various safe conditions. E.g. during every safe event, you add 1 to a %safetotal variable, then during each exit you subtract one - and the lock screen kicks in when the %safetotal hits zero. It's not as…

I use Tasker in conjunction with the Secure Settings plugin.

So, uh, you should profit off someone else's attractiveness?

Given that it has access to all of my email and a fair amount of other personal information (signed-in web accounts, pictures, Google Keep notes, etc.), I think a lock screen is indispensable.

Socialists and Marxists?

Yawn. This is ridiculous. There are a couple services that you can get really vested in - Gmail, Calendar, maybe Reader (though that was pretty easy to switch out of) - but most services are being used transiently.

Chrome has the ability to run in the background after it is launched, which is what it's doing there.

I was excited for a minute there.

I think the title is a little misleading - it seems to imply that 10 is a very specifically positive number, when what you're really advocating is long vacations (greater than a week).

Agree with the comment about keyed interior locks being a bad idea. If they're willing to break glass to get in, they'll just break more glass like a whole window. In any event, at that point they're a lot more committed and it's not likely discovering you have an inside-locking deadbolt is going to stop them. It's…

One thing we started doing when we were burglarized is to keep track of expensive things we own, serial numbers if applicable, and how much they're worth. You can accrue a surprisingly large dollar value in items even if you don't live extravagantly.

Yeah, applying a little thought to the reason for the backup (if you know it) helps. If you're in a 4 lane road and the reason for the backup is a wreck in one lane, the furthest lane from the wreck will generally be smoother and faster - same thing with merges in high traffic areas (there are a couple places here…

This is why I try to identify "marker cars" to help adjust my own perception of how fast traffic is moving in comparison to my car. If you can identify a few cars around you, it can let you calibrate whether you're actually losing a lot of ground (one lane really moving faster) or if you're just leapfrogging each…

That'd be an 8gb model for $200

Yes, my understanding is that it actually only happens when the tablet is sleeping/idle.

Gotcha. No, trim is basically an immediate function - it can take a little while to run, which is why Android has set certain bounds on when it will execute, but once it completes, the performance improvement will either be there or not.
