For one thing, a OTA update failed after I once flashed the custom recovery (until I re-flashed the factory recovery). My point is there is no need to have the custom recovery unless you are going to be changing ROMs often (and want to create low-level backups, etc.)

To that end I love G-Ear (for Mac). It manages my All Access library as if it were a local iTunes library. Supports 2 factor login, LastFM, Airplay and Chromecast. The UI is super simple and playback is great. But if (like me at the moment) you are on Windows, you seem to be out of luck.

Another thing that most guides out there seem to miss.... If you need to do something in a custom recovery ROM, you do not need to flash it. You can just directly boot it from a local image on your computer using adb. A lot less destructive.

Just something I wanted to do... I had a classical DSLR sans GPS and I used the now-kinda-defunct Latitude on Android/iOS's historical data to do the correlation.

I developed an app for Mac called Longitude a while ago (now defunct) on the Apple app store... Did exactly this...

Comcast Xfinity does not allow my HBO Go to work on my Roku.

Wow, 4K displays seem to be so much slower... probably meant for TV with all the extra image pre-processing...

PS: We're not talking about what is accepted, right? But what is (more) correct?

Word : Short-lived

To give the answer that I think is the correct one: Yes.

I shopped around for quite a bit for sip providers... I suggest you try to create callcentric account. (It is free to get a SIP number and an incoming-only NY phone number).

Actually dropbox stores versions. My system is overkill: I have several cloud drives that are synced across multiple machine (redundancy there). I'm using a Synology Cloudstation drive for this, and this has file versioning built in. If this is not enough I also create snapshotted (every six hours) of almost ALL my…

I host my own. Although I have 1 TB of Google Drive space now, I prefer to do my backups on my Synology NAS. They have a VERY good Cloud Drive solution that works on my work Linux, home Mac or any of my windows VMs I run. My connection at home is pretty good so this works very well for me. (I also created snapshot…

Most applications are stopping the use of this as Google are going to be closing their APIs around this service. I was using the app GrooveIP for this, as well as a ObiHai device at home to connect Google Voice on my home phone. I've since moved away to a standard SIP provider.

I've hosted Subsonic as well as currently using both openvpn and TT-RSS extensively.

For $10/month I've been running a shared linux machine on rackspace etc for more than a decade now... running it as a SVN repository and RSS reader now... also useful for proxying out from behind restrictive firewalls... (the costs have been shared between a few of us...)

Vote: Android Native Dialer.

After my Time Machine volume spontaneously combusted for the second time (It get a problem and then has to re-create itself) I decided to skip it. The first time I tried it with a generic NAS, and the second time with Time Capsule itself... not really that stable for something that's supposed to be mission-critical.…

Yup, I was interested in using it a while ago to post to several locations... and I saw that Maria Popova was using it to great effect. Problem was that I needed to post to Google+ so my only solution was to use G+ as my primary platform and then cross-post using IFTTT.

Perhaps a bit off-topic, but last I checked Buffer could not share to Google+.
