- I know, I really dug up this quote but I had to.
This month, I am doing a challenge of using just one phone for the whole month, which is an easy thing for many but not for me. I'm someone who feels a need to change phones after 2 weeks at least because something bothers me about the one I was using. In this case, it's just switching in-between what I own. Sometimes I'll use one for a week and then something comes up so I'm changing it. I have felt the urge to, but I haven't actually caved.
Anyway, how this connects to you is that I was thinking about what you said and how right you are. I'm hoping that my dBrand skin would help me feel less annoyed with how, uh, not unique looking, my iPhone is.
It's nice to have a good camera on hand. In all the phones I've used in the past two years, I only miss my Z3 and the Mi 5. Z3 was great outside of the camera, and the Mi 5 was shockingly good, outside of the lack of LTE.- Share

- I'm going to need more storage containers for my vinyl LPs. I've always had vinyl LPs since I was a kid. However, my vinyl collection has been growing since I got a new turntable last month, and it's outgrowing the milk crates I've kept my records in for all these years.

My issue with LG is that since the G3, there has been some quality control issues - boot loop and all that jazz. If they can continue to refine the design language from the V20 and step their quality control game up, it would be interesting. Personally i don't like the move to a bigger screen on the G6, but maybe they make the V series have removable batteries as the G series fixed ones. Who knows.Last edited by MSFTisMIA; 01-24-2017 at 10:28 PM.

- So I like the Honor 8. I don't love it, but I like it. It's not as charming as the Mi 5 which grew on me, nor it is as pristine as the Z3. Still, it's a very nice device. There's a lot I appreciate, but isn't unfamiliar to me from what i saw on the Mi 5. I hope that EMUI 5.0 plays much better with Android wear though...

- So...If I were a phablet guy, I'd be using a combo of the 950XL and the V20. It's strange that as much as I like the V20, if you buy a 950XL outside of the OS differences the cameras and video recording capabilities are pretty close. I did like the 950XL, except the software at the time made the battery life garbage for me.
If money wasn't an issue, if I was only to use one system setup...I'd buy a G5 + the HIFI DAC. If I were getting a 950 as a compliment, I'd get a HTC 10. I really liked the smaller Pixel, but price and camera lens flare cross it off my list. It's good to see that there are many choices out there, but i think for me it is hard to find all I want in one device. Maybe if i liked Samsung I could be happy with a S7...- Share

Besides, I got my tablet to offload much of my phone's heavier media consumption anyways. That's working just fine.- Share

- It's why I've stopped and settled with the Honor 8. It's good enough in all the areas that are important to me, and I can deal with that...As opposed to having something that's a home run in one area and has deal breakers in others. I've used too many phones like that in the past.

- I liked the G5's design. It just felt like a prototype because they rushed the design to market and were being LG - too creative for their own good. You saw the V20 was a great refinement of the G5's design.
My issue with LG is that since the G3, there has been some quality control issues - boot loop and all that jazz. If they can continue to refine the design language from the V20 and step their quality control game up, it would be interesting. Personally i don't like the move to a bigger screen on the G6, but maybe they make the V series have removable batteries as the G series fixed ones. Who knows.
I'm not liking the whole modular thing, mostly because they don't really offer anything better or new. I'm not just talking about the G5 here, I'm reffering to Moto Z as well.- Share

And don't expect any better battery life on current builds. Or better stability. Or anything better. It's just a bigger mess than it was.- Share

To give an example of some things I've read, some Muslims have been offended by a pig cartoon (Peppa the Pig) and other cartoon characters so nothing surprises me any more.
Then of course there are hard core Christians being offended by sex, nudity, a woman, or anything else that dives them crazy.
A lot of the times some people in the USA get 'offended' at something and use that as an excuse to shut down conversation.
This is the reality of the world we live in.
I get offended by lots of things, stupidity, ignorance, lack of humanity, violence, war, etc but hey, I'm an atheist what do I know?- Share

- Well if you try real hard you can find people offended of all kinds of things.

This second thing isn't only relatable to Christians, it goes for all religions I guess. Don't get me started on how the sex is treated in muslim communities, at least here in Bosnia. It's a taboo topic.
And for the "I'm offended by that" folks, I just try not to cummunicate with them. I really don't like paying too much attention on whether I'm going to offend someone or not. And as I said, I'm not the most PC guy, since PC just makes you lie about your feelings and point of view.
The offended folks are usually liberals lately, I might be wrong, but that's how I perceive SJWs.01-25-2017 10:20 AMLike 0 - Yup, that's what I meant, it's creepy as hell.
