The "Random Thoughts" Thread

Got a new phone. well, kinda. Got a "Blu Studio 5.011" from frys at a reduced price because I'm pretty sure someone returned it. It hasn't got 4G but I don't mind because I'm still using prepaid, but it's got a lot of other impressive things for its price, like it can watch youtube videos and its got a front facing camera and a flash for the rear camera, but all that worries me, because there have to be compromises somewhere.

I'd be impressed if it lasts to be honest.

Can't say I've ever heard of the Blu Studio phone before but it seems like a 2013 Android based phone. Not too bad if you got a good price for it.

I'm overdue for a new phone replacement. Hitting 2.5 years on the Galaxy S3. I have my sights set on the Nexus 6 after Verizon completely screwed up the Xperia Z3.

put a dead HDD in the freezer today, lets see if the myth works.

didn't work.

[Shawn Zipay]

Yeah, that's really just a temp fix for when it works and only then it works long enough for you to pull important data off to a backup drive.

[signa]

Ya, that's what I tried to do, pull some stuff off of it but it won't even show up in the bios.

side note - my 2004 original WD Raptor 74gb finally died also.

nice work on the shiny new logos.

[Shawn Zipay]

Thanks! We uhm... had them last year though. Both of them actually. I'm just reusing them.

- finally got my windows7 remote assistance to work with easy connect. Could never get it working through my router. Turns out you need to be running ipv6 (which doesn't play well with legacy apps such as outlook 2003). Luckily my new RT-N66U router has support for ipv6 and allows you to run 6to4. all works great now.

wish I understood all those technical terms. Most of everyone I know sees me as a Tech god/genius as I end up fixing everyones software problems, but the only diference between me and them is that I know how to use google. or at least I'm the only one who tries

Just bought ground zeroes.

Sigh...

I keep telling myself not to keep spending unnecessarily, but then Kojima has to pull shit like this and release it on PC.

Plus it seems to be one of the better PC ports released this year.

Titanfall was up for a pretty good promotion. I was wondering if it is worth it. I really wanted to play this game but some people are saying it's kind of dead. (matchmaking always ends up killing games too soon)

[signa]

I really wanted to play it too, but it seems like it went from top price to bargain basement really fast. was it really that bad?
