Faiblesse Des Sens Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Starting the root process, sticking with the stock firmware, though. See you guys at 3am when I finally get to sleep after pulling all of my hair out. If only everything was as easy as a Nexus device. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Minus the bag aspect of it. It's for camping. I have a two week thing next month so I'll need some juice for me phone and laptop. And yes, it's a geology related trip (I'm a TA) so I need to read up on some papers and what have me. It should pull 13 watts in which can go into two devices at once. So say my camping lamp, mobile battery pack and my actual electronics. As with most camping stuff, it can also be used in an emergency which around here is an earthquake.

TheRevanchist Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Tip on camping: Sometimes you need to hike a few miles to get cell phone reception. UGH! But those solar panels are a nice thing to have. They work pretty well where the trees are a bit sparse or if you are in rocky areas.

Mal Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Where I'm going, there is little to no shade. Depending on temperature, daily mapping will have to stop by 2 PM instead of the usual 4:30-6:00 PM. Start early, end early. It'll be windy as hell too but my tent without the rainfly is just like a fishnet. Wind just goes right through it though, maybe I'll get a cot. Stay tune for more camping related purchases. I expect an used boot sale in the coming weeks since carbonates/limestone are really terrible on boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbassman39 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I've been here long enough to know that this probably isn't the right lace to ask, but I kind of forgot where to post a question like this: What PC mic/headset do you all recommend with-in the $50-$100 dollar range? I would like one with surround sound (not required) comfortable on the ears and head (I have smaller ears which means that the headband usually feels a bit tight on the top of my head) and finally a longer cable, my computer is next to my tv so I would like more than your standard 3' cables if possible.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Probably a better place would be PCs for Dummies. I'd move it but I'm on my phone. To answer your question, I have some Earforce X11s that I really like. They're not surround, but you can get Earforces that are. And the cord on them is like 15 feet or something ridiculous like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. GOH! Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Why would you need sunglasses? I mean, you live on Great Britain, where the sun is but a rumor of a memory. Are you planning to travel out from under its perpetual cloud cover? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm sure when summer happens he'll be glad he had those Oakleys for the few blinding hours the clouds part and the evil burning ball arrives in the sky. That or maybe he's planning to go visit one of the colonies? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 We do get the occasional visit from old yellow face in the South. Also, I am off to Dubai for a bit with the lady in September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Got myself one of these bad boys. Pretty sweet model, can shoot n load without interruption. Hold more darts. And cos it's the zombie range I can track all my darts easier in our fights. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I have a free ipad mini 2 wending it's way to me as we speak. I did always say to myself I would never have an iDevice even as a gift but I must admit I am curious to try one out and a free one is a good way to go about that. struggling to decide if I should leave it sealed and sell it on or have a fiddle, and sell out.

deanb Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Housemate has an iPad Mini. Seems to like it (despite the horrific case which doesn't really hold it, are you're super wary of the iPad sliding out and crashing to floor). But he's also on a MacBook and uses iPhone for work so it fits in his ecosystem. Depends if you want the cash/android tablet or to fiddle about with that more. I'm super happy with my Tab Pro (which is about same size as an iPhone, but 16:9 so great for watching films/TV on the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 after my moto g experiences, I doubt I will be buying an android device any time soon. I already have a windows tablet, miix 8 2 or something, by lenovo, so I don't need it. And while I wouldn't spend my money on it, having the £150-£200 or whatever I could sell it for sitting in my bank is hardly more exciting than having the item itself. I'm probably just scared I'll actually like it. I guess it's kind of stupid not to like apple when there;s just as many reasons not to like any of the alternatives.

deanb Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Oh I guess if you've a tablet already it's unlikely you'd need two. £200 might not be exciting, but that can be a weekend away...or a nice hoover or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 a weekend away... or a hoover. You certainly present a tempting alternative, but I'll probably keep it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
