Banks are already lacking cash at ATMs and refusing higher cashouts.

So we're in lockdown until April 15th now...

Hopefully this helps. I have my doubts but fingers crossed.

I think the lockdown will go longer still but who knows?

Apparently they're testing a vaccine in the USA on humans (bypassing the usual animal testing) already but it's a small trial. Hopefully it's good...

So I recently played around with Snapseed to try out some of the more advanced features.

The weather before now was pretty dire and now I can't currently go anywhere so I decided to make one of my pictures nicer.

This is what I came up with using two pictures.

It's not bad I guess for a phone app.

So the Mi 9 for work is over. The replacement is here and all being well, I'll pick it up Monday. I have no idea what I'm getting. I'm hopeful it's an iPhone 8 but wouldn't be surprised if it's a 7.

I can see why people liked the Mi 9. I can see why people flashed the Pixel Experience ROM on it. I'd love to run on this an old school AOSP ROM with GMS and I can pick what Gapps I want. Those days are gone though. It's a solid phone.

I'm glad that you are finally getting a proper work phone.

Got bored being indoors, stood in the middle of road and shot this...

2 weeks of work from home. It's way busier than usual. I would happily trade this in and go work at the office. It's been non stop on the computer and headset for 9 hours straight every day of the week.

I'm exhausted.

My Mi 9 is a proper work phone. . This exercise proves it. Remember, this was using it in a less than ideal situation and it held up just fine. I do like the device, I just think I'm going to redeploy it in a very different way.

That close quarters stuff is the most brutal and under discussed part of this whole bit.

Sucks to even think about it but I have a suspicion that domestic violence is going to increase tenfold but it will be kept silent.

Haha this is true. For what you do, I don't see a reason why you should use a phone that is a personal device for this. That's what I mean. This sounds like a plan. I feel like it could be different if it was your own thing you were doing.

Yes. I feel for y'all with spouses/partners. Not living alone means that I only have one place to work at.

I feel like that alone has made me more tired.

It's one of those unintended consequences that gets swallowed in a pandemic. One of the more common places for help is in the ER. The ills of the world still continue, in spite of the presence of covid-19.

Grinding away quietly on lock down. Not much else to say.

I feel that. While this has been a lot (and still is), I am a student who is scheduled to graduate this semester (with or without a ceremony) so I'm back on that. Our spring break was extended and motivation has been tough, but while it's on, I'm getting school stuff done as I can. One paper down (was due today, so it's not like I had a choice lol), another one to go. The virtual class experience will be interesting for sure.

I'm sure this happened in several countries but the Belgium's took it seriously...

A little levity doesn't hurt... Um, hmmmm....

This is what happens when you think your privilege allows you to put your mouth anywhere and on anything that you please...

So I'm looking through the collection as I shift through the latest round of itches. Feelings are the same...adding a Pixel, another Chinese exotic, and something else.

Glad these are only feelings right now. Ain't got no extra to make any moves.

One of my favorite features from LG is the secure boot/secure encryption. I don't keep as much data locally that cannot be replaced these days in the event a phone gets stolen. Still, I'd rather have it be a paperweight in those situations. So I keep it on for all my LG's so once it gets powered off, that's usually it.

Well, some may say it redundant as people don't steal LG's. Phone is a phone though...

The V60 looks really good and polarizing. The white color looks awesome. It's a big phone, that's for sure. LG is going even more mainstream. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm hopeful that it works, as they've been keeping up the the joneses specs wise and that didn't work.

I think with that and the new direction of the G9, maybe that will help. The issues I've had with them are that they took too long to refine their lineup and that there software support hasn't been great.

I don't think I'll get the V60. Not so much because of the size. It's more of I liked the combination of the where the old V series got to. I like the package offered by the V50 more.
