So I don't...drink, but, isn't 6 AM a little early? In any case, I got the internship I interviewed for and got a promotion for my primary job. They gave me an iPad. At first I was like "I don't know what to do with this piece of shit" but like any sentence that starts with "I don't know" I deferred to klein who was like 'get a bluetooth keyboard for this bitch' and now it's become quickly indispensable from an educational standpoint. I can read pdfs for class on it, highlight them through evernote, read a comic in between periods, take notes for class during a lecture, and use it as an impromptu second monitor along with my laptop, and it still has 95% battery by the end of the day. So yeah. I still wouldn't pay for it, but, I'm super cool with getting it free. The internship is mostly stay at home stuff too, which is cool. OH YEAH! OCRemix released an album for Final Fantasy IX, which the shit. Also, Big Boi and Phantogram just announced an album coming out on the 25th, and I think there's a Juicy J mixtape out tonight? And Rick Ross dropped a mixtape last week. Lots of good music comin out. OH YEAH YEAH. The new iPhone gets announced tonight. I've been saving up all my monies so I can get the one with the largest size and finally ditch my shit Nexus and shattered iPod touch that holds 32 gigs of my 75 gigs of music. The Nexus dies by 2PM and the fact that I have an iPad and a Macbook means that Apple's already got its hands halfway around my balls by this point anyways. Also I want to learn iOS development, so that's more incentive. Last Edit: I'm bringing back the plug.dj. Comment if you want a ping when I go in there.
Nexus 5 2015 in 14 days! My screen is officially at the shards-of-glass-in-your-fingers-stage.
Super disappointing. And it's not even a Microsoft Surface because it doesn't have a fullblown desktop OS, just iOS. But yeah, I don't even know. I hate buying phones. Am I eligible to upgrade? Would buying from Apple ruin my plan with Sprint? If I buy with Apple, what the hell happens if I lose my phone, AppleCare doesn't cover that. Does that mean I pay the full unlocked price upfront? Why the hell do I have to lease a freakin' phone!?
Maybe this helps you out. Yeah, I'm in a similar place. Have a MBP Retina that I love, a Windows 10 PC that I love, and a phone that needs to work with both. E.g. I use OneDrive for all my files but Mailbox for my email. I can upgrade in a month or two, and I might be able to get last-year iPhone for a price similar to an off-contract new Moto X. But I want a good battery in a small-ish size, so I'm also looking into the new Moto G ($230 and a killer battery). Cheap enough that I can just not insure it. But too cheap to be good? And I also need to combine it with a plan, somehow. #firstworldproblems
I am currently running a rooted, unlocked Nexus 6 and an unlocked, not-rooted-yet-because-Oneplus-is-a-pain OPO. The N6 is android; the OPO is a daily a couple days old because the rooting tools will convince you you're rooted, and you're not, and then you attempt to install Oxygen and you soft-brick. I ditched the 4S a year ago. I'll never go back. iOS is shit. Yeah, it works all the time and yeah - you never have to fuck around in the command line via ADB and recovery mode just to get a dialer that will actually connect to your cell tower but these two phones combined cost less than a six plus.
Ping me bruh. All this job searching and I forget that there's all this AWESOME SHIT going on. Big Boi and Phantogram? Let's hear it.
