    Anyone have issues getting their iPhone 8 or X to connect to Bluetooth? My 8 randomly doesn’t like pairing, and the work around seems to be to hit the mic button, wait for the “bing”, and then it connects.

    It’s pretty consistent and pretty annoying.

    Haven't experienced that, same thing on 11.3?

    Anyone look at new ipad specs vs ipad pro yet?

    New is $299/$329 and Microcenter has pro for $399 still. Thx!

    Biggest difference you will notice is the display. Pro's have laminated display, True Tone, etc. Much nicer display, and little better chip, but right now pretty hard to justify the extra money for the Pro unless you need to perfect display. Now when they update the Pro in June or September, will probably be a much bigger difference.

    Ha love they mentioned it might be a weather balloon in the article. 

    Lets try this bullshit excuse again

    That's why they call it space.

  4. Don't know enough about it, but know it must be tough. Sounds like you are also extremely lucky. Have two babies a little older then yours, they are amazing and badass like your son.

    Looks like this is not supported for TMobile. Could be wrong. I see the Pixel 2 will be supported by TMobile, though.

    They work on T Mobile, just have to get the one from google and not Verizon. Been using them on at&t with no issues.

    Not a damn thing. But if bloatware doesn't slow down your phone or eat too much of your storage, who gaf?

    Well Samsung phones are known for slowing down at 6 months to a year, now if it is the bloatware, shitty software, or terrible ram management can be debated. Part of what makes Pixel phones so appealing, but Samsung hardware is pretty great now.

    Eh. yeah. Samsung packs a lot of dogshit on to their phones.  But the objection is mostly theoretical.  It doesn't slow anything down (cuz the damn thing is so fast to begin with) and I still have 48G of memory left.

    What does your remaining memory left have to do with the speed of the phone? 

  8. Since FB is in the news for stealing all of our data, you can see what google gets from you, especially pixel owners. Always knew what they got, but creepy to see, especially when you look at the maps, etc. They can map everyone of your days.

    I want a goddamn new Mac Mini. 

     

    Also, there’s finally some better deals on iPhone. Verizon has a 50% credit with a trade in. 

    It has to be taken over 24 months but that’s $500 off of a X. Similar deal to how I got my 7+ for $320. At this point I’ll probably wait for the next release though 

    Rumors of something on a new Mac mini at WWDC, but I won't believe it until I see it.

    Anyone that switched from ios to Android care to comment on the difference between the two? I'm sure it'll take a little getting used to, but is one better than the other?

    Really a matter of preference these days, both platforms are solid. Android gives you more customization if you want it.
