Is your location alert by cell tower or GPS?

I missed that when I left the Apple world behind. I couldn’t kill my 3G, and the three Androids I had after were awful. However, latest iterations have gotten much better. Our Samsung tablets last a week or so on a charge with regular use. As for my phone (OnePlus One), I unplug it when I get up in the morning, and…

Well, that is the fundamental difference between the philosophies of the two products. iProducts are designed to work very well in a specific and particular way, and if you adjust how you work to accommodate that you should have few problems. Android is designed to work however best for you, but allowing users the…

Yeah, I’m afraid you’re probably not the best person to be listening to considering you have some significantly wrong “facts” in your comment.

Looking at the script, no reason to think it wouldn’t work with anything that can run a Bash shell. So not just Linux, but any Unix variant including Android, OS/X or even Windows with Cygwin or the Windows Unix layer installed.

Agreed. Central to the redesign of my garage/workshop is everything is mobile...with minimal effort. Being unable to rearrange on a whim appears, at least in my case, to be the #1 reason for clutter and disorganization.

It’s all part of a larger process. At night, Tasker puts a notification up close to when I normally go to bed. When I click it, it mutes the phone, lowers the brightness, initiates some backups, sends out a few emails to “close out” my journal for the day, and sets the alarm if it’s a week day. For the fun of it, it…

Ironically, as I fast approach that mark, I find myself less and less inclined to accept outdated mindsets such as yours. But, then, I find being able to change my opinions based on new information and understanding to be a strength, whereas you think it foolish. I do genuinely feel sorry for you.

Certainly, but they can be pricey. Good one’ll run you about $40-50. I’ve been fortunate to have found a few attached to crappy bikes at thrift stores. Since the bikes sell for $10-15, I take the dynamo and donate the bike (after I’ve cleaned it up and made sure it’s working) to a local charity that gives away bikes.

Yes, thank you for confirming you are exactly everything that’s wrong in the world today.

Ok, I’ll do both, Dipshit: this “class” of which you speak is an outmoded concept of defining individuals based on your own interpretations of how they should be and act, without allowing them the agency to do as they would want. No one sane values it any more than they value the KKK’s interpretation of what…

An additional nod toward Gentle Alarm. One of the first apps I got for free when Amazon started doing that with their appstore, and I ended up buying it (from the Play Store) soon after. Its Tasker integration was the main reason. Now, when I dismiss the alarm in the morning, a whole bunch of other things are kicked…

Mmm...not true. $2.50/each for these. I have them all over the house. Work just fine and indistinguishable from incandescent. Considering I’d HAVE to buy dozens of the old-style over the lifetime of these, not to mention the absurdly high cost difference of operating, outlawing incandescent was the absolutely right…

“ financially responsible for any medical costs of anyone who gets sick and comes into contact with your carrier-ridden, unvaccinated spawn”

Okie-doke. I can dig extra-grumpy days.

Not a waste at all, how else will others come to understand if they’re never told? Even if it leads no where, conversation is always important.

I don’t disagree with you, either, however...for some people (hell, a LOT of people), an initial outlay of $100, $50, $25, $10, or even $5, can be devastating. Having to pay a jacked-up monthly fee on current plans can have a lot to do with that in the long-term.

To expand on what puffycow said: not everyone is affluent. Some people have to budget expenses, and an initial outlay of $600 for a new phone is not easily done. One could make the argument that a “cell phone isn’t a necessity”, but those kinds of folks don’t live in the real world (where payphones no longer exist due…

I get so ingrained in being a troll, I don’t even verify if my trolling is correct anymore...

Your argumentum ad absurdum aside, they already do label what’s on packages that contain “pink goo”. It says “contains beef”, because that’s all it is. Just because you’re a twit who thinks that beef is somehow magically transformed into something else by pureeing a little more than one normally does for hamburger…
