Here's the view from my hotel room in Ireland. Going hiking in a couple of hours.

No jet lag so far.

Nice view.
Enjoy the hike!

Ah that there's always a friend that does not follow my directions...

I ask you to do something in an email, but no, you want to be the only one who doesn't do it. It's been a challenge for me not to get into an argument with them since they have done this before with me.

Edit: Said friend followed my directions now, all is good.

Got my standard TMO text letting me know texting is free in Ireland and calls are 20 cents/minute. But I don't like that now data is only 2G in the free tier. The old plan I had was better since I got 3G (which covered H+ in Asia and Europe) and was plenty fast. Now can't use any services beyond notifications. There is a minor upside for unlimited LTE in Canada and Mexico but for someone like me I preferred the 3G option better.

I might get a Project Fi SIM card if my international travel picks up again.

Nice.

I can never sleep on planes so jet lag always gets me. Usually creeping up on me.

Quit complaining about your first world problems!

Ah, such a ray of sunshine you are today...

Here you go, Laura. These were shot with Google's HDR app.

And these were shot with the LG app.

I turned on my SE for the first time in weeks last night...and I missed it. I didn't cave but it did make me think about how I prefer iOS emojis and the tinier size. My Galaxy A3 doesn't feel big though, just the SE is more pocketable by a bit.

Thoughts on the Note 8?

I like that the dual cameras both have OIS, which can probably make for a nice camera experience. Also that the S Pen is also water resistant is a nice touch but those are the only 2 lights I see about the Note 8.

Cue Freddie Mercury as another one bites the dust. Just got an email from Wells Fargo notifying me that their Windows app will no longer be supported as of October 24. Truth be told, I rarely use it since I've never done a mobile deposit and it's quicker to check my balance through the browser anyway.

But I realize there are those who do and probably depend on this app so my condolences go out to them.

Hike was great. 4.7 km, 450m elevation gain, 1.5 hours round-trip.

Couple of other pictures from the hike.

All pictures taken with the Pixel so far. I took very few pics with the S8.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing these. 😊

You're welcome. "Better late than never", I suppose.

This may by odd to say, but i like the in hand feel of the iPhone 7 over the 6s. I can see why people love the SE and the 6S feels so much smaller than what I currently use.

Good thing all I plan to do is add work related apps (like 5 of them) and just use it for emails, calls and SMS with colleagues.

Oh wow, I wouldn't have expected you to prefer the 7 feel over the 6s. I can imagine how much smaller it feels considering that you have a V20 and Mi Note 2, along with the 950 XL.

Sounds like a plan. I'm wondering if you will update it to iOS 11 when it drops or no?

It's the company phone, so I'm going to go back in and turn off OS updates and only update it when IT says it's OK to do so. There have been updates in the past that messed up the settings before, so that's the smart way to do it.

I've said I liked the in hand feel of the iPhone 7 many moons ago here (around the time when I first went to look at the Pixel after launch last year).

Ah okay, I figured as much about the update thing.

Ooh that explains why I had no idea you felt that way about the iPhone 7, because I only joined in here a while after that.

Wow, MrMobile posted two photos to compare the cameras on the Essential Phone and the Pixel on his Instagram. The Essential Phone photo was destroyed by the Pixel. I love the idea and the look of it but I don't think I could swallow paying $700 for just an okay experience. I can't. It was even hard for the Robin, which was cheaper of course. I don't need the best but I need it to be better than this...
