Final result: Battery has 84% of design capacity (2,860 of 3,400 mAh).
I will be on the hardwood at the Hunter Sportsplex in a few moments. See you in a bit.

Shhh sshhh! He's here now
 
@CanadianLuke ?

Our team lost, but I managed to deliver a record number of high-quality photos today.
So... thought about this phone thing again. It would be better to skip 5G on my next upgrade. The technology is far from mature.
 
Good job!
Well, yea... Mature is usually around 18 years, right? :P
 
:p
 
6:06 AM
I used the same analogy with Active Directory vs NT4-style domains....
"We need to treat AD as though it is our 18-year old daughter who has all the Fortune 500's wrapped around its finger, while her older brother, Mr NT, is out behind the store blowing guys for cash with how outdated he is"
 
You around on Matrix?
 
Nope, on my home computer
 
I think I'm just going to get the Galaxy S10+ or (if sufficient funds are available) the Galaxy Fold. But I'm not too sure if I want to drop more than twice the value of Stolas onto a phone...
 
Dude... Why?
If you have that much disposable income, there are MANY things you could better spend it on
 
Like @JourneymanGeek about Threadripper... it's the cool factor :)
 
6:10 AM
I realize you're young, and you can afford to take risks and make mistakes... But be sensible and listen to people like me who have gone through that phase of having all new and shiny, no matter the cost... It isn't good
 
Yeah. I cannot see the value in something like this.
My phone's battery is actually okay (84% of design capacity), just needed calibration.
Do I try to just stretch the life of this phone as much as possible?
 
My phone is fine, other than the camera... So I bought an upgraded version, while I send my main away to get repaired under warranty... even though I need to pay $60...
If you're trying to save up for something, like a home or car, yea
 
Wait one more phone generation?
 
Zenfone 3 vs Zenfone 5
 
@bwDraco I'm not buying it though ;p
 
6:22 AM
Because by then, I am not too sure about whether my phone will hold up to a full third year of operation.
@JourneymanGeek i7, i9, or waiting for 7nm Ryzen?
 
I9 at the moment
 
Wait until you get the 7nm Ryzen in your phone!
 
lol
(because third-gen Ryzen is still several months away)
 
Ya. I kinda want to do the build soon
 
I wonder when Intel will come out with a 10nm desktop processor...
Mobile first.
 
6:26 AM
I remember back in the day when size mattered, but the other direction...
 
AMD's going to be first to market with full-power desktop "7 nm class" processors.
Come to think of it, replacing my phone within the next few months would actually disrupt a planned 7nm processor upgrade for Astaroth due to funding constraints.
 
Bob
6:50 AM
I think I'll get another 2+ years, assuming no accidents
 
7:02 AM
The PC replacement plan is due to gradual hardware failure - and I do intend to reuse or boneyard as much of it as possible
 
Bob
Oh, 2 years on the phone
PC should be good through 2022 at the least
maybe a GPU replacement if next gen turns out good
 
Also not getting a threadripper unless I make twice what I do now or I win a lottery ;p

Story time! First time I'm ever making an app: I'm twelve years old, with very little actual programming knowledge. What do I do? I create a basic UI in MS word '13 using shapes and arrows, take a screenshot, crop in MS paint, embed in an HTML doc with a <center> tag, create an image map (remember those?), And then use a service which wrapped a given HTML page into an apk with webview. I really wish I was making this up.
I'm shuddering at the thought of it, but looking back I'm surprised at just how legit it looked.
Most people liked it and at its peak it was used by over a hundred kids from my school.
So... Yeah. Welp. I'll dig up the HTML code if you guys want.
Oh, and I used Google Drive to serve the HTML page.
Shhshwnanhwhwhbwnwnwnnwnw.
Pinging @Bob just to make him feel the horror.
 
11:02 AM
That's clever though
 
!!/halp
 
!!/halpcat
 
(here's a secret: a few months ago I was participating in a hackathon and we were considering an idea when we would have had to come up with the mock-up of an app, and I still would have have used an HTML page and then wrapped it in an apk, because five years later I still have no idea how to make a proper Android app.)
@MichaelFrank this is why the first thing I state on my portfolio is that I'm great at hacking around and finding alternate solutions. I do this allllll theeee timeeee.
Even if I have no idea how to do something, I almost always figure out a way that works, and that @Bob hates.
Which is justified. I mean. Just look at that abomination mentioned above.

I once used 10 puns to try to make you guys laugh.

No pun in 10 did.

5:39 PM
Anyone around?
I'm feeling oddly disconnected from reality, which isn't great
 
5:57 PM
@djsmiley2k hai
What's up?
 
sup
 
Studyin'
Physics is killing me
 
oooo
once you get your head around it tho, it's awesome
but the memorisation stuff sucks
I'm trying to figure out what to do about a neighbours tree
 
@djsmiley2k I know it's the part that killing me
 
the law says we can cut back overhanging branches
 
6:00 PM
@djsmiley2k give it a hug.
 
but the litteral trunk of the tree overhangs the fence
 
@djsmiley2k don't unless you have really good reason to do so.
 
if i drew a line to the sky, from the fence, it'd cut the top 2/3rds of the tree off and likely kill it
hmmmm it's killing our garden?
blocks out most of the sun
 
Ahh.
Dunno, man.
Speak to your neighbor about it?
 
yeah, ned to find out which house it is
it's the 'bottom' of the garden, so backing onto someone elses
I can get up a ladder and cut it back, but just worried they maybe upset about it being done
 
6:03 PM
Yeah, speak to the owner first.
 
so the blue line is where the fence is, the blue circle being the trunk on their side, then 1/3rd of the way up it goes onto our side
it's like 40ft tree
so with the sun coming from the south you can see it pretty much shades the whole garden
 
Hey so this meme I made got 7k upvotes on Reddit :)
 
lol

Guys. It happened
I got the perfect idea for an app
This will make me hundreds of thousands of dollars!!!!
 
7:31 PM
:O
 
7:50 PM
Gonna tell us anything? D:
 
8:43 PM
roar
 
9:31 PM
The app is a PHP interpreter for Apple phones?
 
9:45 PM
Hmmm... MyFitnessPal had a breach early last year and my details were included in the drop. I'm pretty sure I auth'd with Facebook though, do I need to do anything about that?
 
10:39 PM
I'd hope that facebook revoked the access keys
you might want to revoke the access for the app from your profile
