WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

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

There must be some Poltergeists active today. Earlier this morning Cortana just started rambling all by herself about how the Heat pulverized the Knicks last night. I know there was a rash of reports a year or so ago about this so I assumed it was just another Microsoft bug - gee, I didn't see that one coming. But then about an hour ago I'm dictating an email to my Office Mgr and her Siri just started blabbing some nonsense about where to find the best eats for this weekend's Ultra Music Festival. Maybe Cortana and Siri are having an illicit affair and are all giddy. Hey, don't judge me.

Looks like I will be scarce here for a bit.
Just got our tickets to South Africa.
Leaving Saturday morning and coming back in 2nd week of April.

Cool! Enjoy and safe travels!

The week continues to go off the rails. Wonderful.

One disadvantage of getting tickets so late - well no seat assignment on the Joburg - Paris leg and also no three seats together on the Atlanta - Joburg leg of the flight.

Let's see if I can get someone in customer service to help.

I got the update for my S8+ at the weekend, officially although I was in the beta. There's a lot of changes - certainly it starts up quicker and battery life is still good. Most of the changes are subtle or under the hood.

I think the S9 seems a bit... bland but I've not really seen one up close.

Awesome! I'm glad you got the update.

Two new specializations were announced for my program and I'm not sure which one I want to dabble in more. Either way, doing them means adjusting my entire plan. For one of the two, I am currently taking a required class for it, so that's nice.
I do want to go to both of the events for each thing, which means I'll be going to school 4 times next week. It would be in my best interests to go to both.

Registration (for next semester) opens next Friday so decisions, decisions...

Nice.
I went and played with the S9 yesterday. I like the subtle changes that Samsung has made to the S9 compared to the S8.

I certainly like the fingerprint sensor change and the idea that the phone is a bit quicker, more durable and so on but the software seems to be pretty much identical. I'm not sure how much of a game changer the variable aperture will be in terms of how different the photos are but for sure it will be a big deal going forward with future iterations.

It can't be worse than the S8 FPS location. It's my biggest knock against my Plus and almost unusable for left-handers.

I see that Best Buy has walked away from selling all Huawei related consumer electronics.

Very interesting indeed.

I think it's a disappointment that they decided to do that. If I'm not mistaken, they were the only physical retailer selling their products, aside from B&H Photo (which is only available for people in NJ and NY to visit).

It's not surprising they did that.

Maybe but they might regret this. Even the laptops? Seriously?

They won't. As big as Huawei is and as good their products are, the US government is bigger and more annoying to deal with.

That's a valid point. It's a shame because they do make nice products.

I agree. I wear one on my wrist every day and have the other in a box I use when I want to look more dressed up.
