Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

My friend is having a birthday party in a local pub for his 18th. There's going to be a great gig, an old Ex Yu band is playing, I already bought the tickets but I'm just too sick. We'll see what happens, I'd like to go, but if I don't get at least a bit better the it's not gonna happen.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Morning folks. It's a decent looking day in this corner of the US of A. Gonna do some chores in my apartment before i head back into the city and start my two week long test drive.

I've decided to go caseless with this thing. I haven't done that with a phone in years. I did throw on a tempered glass screen protector, but that's all. I've got a black leather back and it does make the phone more interesting to the touch and looks wise. I may have to poke around 6.0.1 a little bit as I feel ill probably be getting average battery life with this thing. Feels very light in comparison to the Maxx. I miss the Moto display already but this has a peek mode which is decent enough. Love the Knock code.

More to come later...

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

My iPhone 6 got 9.3, My Honor 6 LCD is ****ed, my Lumia 636 got two updates today. That sums up my mobile week.
I've got iOS 9.3 on both my iPhone 6S Plus and my iPad Air 2... Good stuff!

Also downloading the newest build of W10M on my trusty 1520 today.

My (also trusty) desktop gamer is screaming fast with all the new hardware goodies! (The new GTX 970 4GB SuperSuperclocked video card and the 250GB Sammy SSD. I also got some more RAM (8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz).) Gave this 5year old gaming build a new lease on life!!

Oh! Also got the brand new Corsair CX850M 850w PSU in there!

(I'm gonna make a "Rig spec post" in the custom PC builds forum section...

Anyway, There's a bunch of thunder storms coming through here today (btw I'm off today and tomorrow AND Monday!!!) so the PC is shutdown and unplugged!

Guess I might put these new strings on the Les Paul

Oh, I bought a mini smartphone tripod from Walgreens last night. It was on sale for $6 lol

Cool thing about it, is the phone attachment part also fits my full size tripod. Both my iPhone 6S Plus AND my 1520 fit with no problem...

Now I can start making more guitar videos!

You won't regret that latest build. It fixed two or three very annoying things. For the first build of Redstone, that's more than OK.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Processor - Original Intel Core i7 920 Quad Core (Bloomfield) stock @2.67Ghz (had it overclocked @3.6Ghz at one point, but I'm using stock cooling, and it's a 5year old CPU now, so I'm running it at stock speeds and it still performs amazingly!!

Memory - 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 @1600Mhz (upgraded from 6GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 which would only run stable @1066Mhz)

GPU - EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC ACX2.0 (SSC = Super SuperClocked +140Mhz (1190Mhz GPU Clock, 1753Mhz Mem. Clock)

SSD - 250GB Samsung V-NAND SSD 850 EVO

Good day to be up and about. Still a little on the cooler side, but no clouds overhead currently.

Not a fan as much of the 808 chip. I think it's OK, but it's probably the Adreno GPU that makes the phone a little more sluggish than it should be. Still, it has moments where this thing absolutely flies...

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

People never cease to amaze me about how they just don't use common sense.

It would appear than in 2016, "common sense is (still) a luxury that some cannot afford" is very relevant...SMH...

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Screen is pretty sharp, even though I'm used a muted background from Arrow. I got Nova finally set up to how I want so that's going to be the driver. Of course, I snuck on a beta version of Sony's Music app and a concept version of the Xperia launcher too. No complaints so far...just want to see how the battery cycles shake out...

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Looking forward to testing the camera out. I took one test snap last night and was pleased.

The only thing left to do is to completely transfer my music onto the SD card. I dropped a 128GB in there I bought on sale...

Audio seems OK. Maybe not as good as what I heard on my Z3 but as nice as Moto. Maybe I need a V10 to get all that audio love...

Oh and Tom Clancy's The Division is having problems on their server end. Game won't even start today because of a user profile / cloud saving issue they're having. It's definitely not my machine. Confirmed the problem with a bunch of other people with the same issue on Ubisoft's forums... They need to fix their game now!
