@Bob negative -> negative isn't really informative, but negative -> positive or positive -> positive is. Negative -> positive would be quite weird though, unless he just never noticed the dropouts before
OK, USPS is telling me there's a flat rate of $45.95 for a padded envelope, which I could fit the cans in by swiveling the cups to be slim (inline with the band)
@allquixotic But that's only shipping - actual item worth is probably at least a good $40. Hm... maybe a bit lower if compared to sale price. They went for $60 'opened but new' on ebay a couple times
nothing but a slight amount of normal wear and tear on 'em... battery is still really good... and, hey, they're not defective, since they work oh-so-flawlessly on my iPhone
too bad I sent my Droid Maxx to a buddy, or I could send you the cans and a phone that has the bug... that way you could sit there and tell me how, in Australia, you don't experience whatever wacko interference causes the dropouts in the US, and everything's perfect :P
(which somehow magically doesn't ever happen on an iPhone, or at least not often enough for me to have experienced it in a few hundred hours of listening)
@Bob environmental noise that gets worked around perfectly by whatever iOS/Apple/their hardware supply chain for Bluetooth/CDMA/LTE does differently than Android manufacturers? :S
> I have the same issue with my new Galaxy S6 Edge+ Google music both from the cloud and from my phone are completely unplayable-- skip skip skip skip. Same with Pandora. This is to both of our cars (GM). This is complete crap. $800 phone that can't do what my $50 phone did perfectly.
> Happens on my wife's note 4 all the time and my note 5 was doing it today. Didn't happen on our s3 and doesn't happen on our ipads. It's super annoying for such an important feature. Paired with a bose soundlink 3
Onlything that's not working on mine is the microphone within apps.. well it works for calls only.. But everything else is working (Although I think after these changes my microphone should work)
GPS, tethering, Mobile, Wifi, Bluetooth, Camera, Sound.. All working with 0 issues.
hehe, my corporate discount site at Lenovo is selling off an Ideapad Y700 with 8 GB of RAM, a Skylake i7, and a GTX 960M 2GB VRAM with a 1 TB HDD and 128GB SSD and 1080p screen, for $809 USD
I don't know what it is about Lenovo. They refuse to put decent GPUs in their laptops. I mean, would it kill them to offer a top-end IdeaPad with a 970M?
I mean, basically what I would want in a laptop is a damn powerful GPU and reasonably light - I don't even need it to have good battery life; any time I'm using it, I'd have mains access... even on a train or plane these days
upgradable things can be shit for all I care; upfront purchase price is the hardest part for me... once I have the base unit, I can incrementally make it awesome
we have "light rail", which is electrified catenary cables overtop a reduced gauge track, built specifically for an above-ground sort of "subway" in Baltimore
Out long-distance ones are 'intercity' ... and don't have outlets AFAIK. Maybe the diesel ones do. The electric ones (which sometimes end up on the intracity lines, Oscar-class) don't
we have "commuter rail", which runs on tracks owned by the huge freight conglomerate CSX, and tracks owned by Amtrak, operated by the state, and it runs between major cities and large workplace hubs (mainly, it stops every 5 to 8 minutes between Baltimore and Washington, picking up people near where they live and taking them into the cities)
@allquixotic The 960 is already a decent GPU. In fact Lenovo is one of the few (only?) manufacturers right now putting ANY GPUs into convertible laptops. Sadly, they're extremely hard to get hold of and riddled with bugs
then we have long distance rail, mainly funded by the Federal government, in the way of Amtrak, and they run all across the country, but are not really suited to short distance
commuter rail is almost entirely diesel locomotives, with a few exceptions; long distance rail is also usually diesel, but light rail and below-ground subways are catenary cables and electrified third rail, respectively
out of all those train services, the only one I know of that regularly does not offer outlets is the subway
