Do you mean in the sex sense or the other one? I'm asking for a friend.
Unless your friend lives in Australia...

Status: just sent a WOMM š. Not sorry, because no REPRO steps provided and following their description of the issue I had no issue.
Addendum: response (censored):
I think I found the problem. When I originally ran this I was of the understanding that it was just (unrelated thing that obviously doesn't include the thing they were looking for) she wanted but it turns out she wanted an All pull. So this is resolved.

Status: my productivity for the day so far:
In fact, so much so I've managed to keep up with threads despite being on š±!
Edit: why would Microsoft be so happy there is nothing in an arbitrary folder? WTF?

Phone's pretty warm after 5 minutes on the charger--is this normal?
Was the phone and/or charger and/or battery made in China?
If so, then the answer is yes. That's normal. All those electronic certification stickers on the back are cargo cult, merely for show, easily downloaded off GIS.
If no, then the answer is no. That is not normal. Someone fucked up the electronics, and you have a fire hazard on your hands. Or bouncing between your hands as you go "ow ow hot hot ow".

I can tell that it's lunch time in the US because it isn't breakfast time or dinner time or snack time so that only leaves lunch time.

Can't wait to see if Marshmallow is smarter than older versions and won't try to update all 17 or whatever Google apps at ones
Marshmallow is smarter than anyone.

@Jarry done

@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:

It's modern-day electronics, so I'm going to go with "yes". But people above who said it's probably "doing an initial OS update" are probably right. It didn't seem to do that later.
5X comes with a 3A charger, too.
-
@Lorne-Kates ...the hell? Is that Canada's answer to Adult Swim?

@FrostCat said in The Official Status Thread:
Status: My 5X showed up. Busted shipping box, but the phone box and the phone itself appear undamaged. Turn it on, and it wants to connect to wifi, then update a 112MB update before anything else. Then it complained the battery wasn't full enough to do the update.
Phone's pretty warm after 5 minutes on the charger--is this normal?
Is it a quick charger? Because if so, yes.
Also it charges in like 20 minutes...

@Lorne-Kates speaking of snack time, I'm starving.

@sloosecannon said in The Official Status Thread:

It's the 3A charger the phone came with.
USB C cable, meaning I can charge the phone from my NUC! I bet it will only deliver half an amp, though.
That cable is YUUGE.

There's human breast milk in the other thread.
-
@coldandtired Yes, but my day began an hour early today and it's thrown off my sense of time. When I made that post I could've sworn it was at least 45 minutes earlier.

Status: Amused.
Edit: At least it worked enough to actually log me on. and a full refresh fixed it once the cooties were over, so meh.

Status: Yesterday there was a nice handwritten note on the apartment building door saying something like "Whoever broke all the glass bottles on the sidewalk, please clean up your mess!" Today the note is covered in crudely-drawn penises.
-
@FrostCat USB-C is my favorite thing in the entire world right now. So robustness. Much reversible. Wow.
-
@Weng to be pedantic, USB-C is just the shape of the cable. so the only thing it gives you is reversibility. IIRC one of the older OnePlus phones came with a USB 2.1 C cable.
-
@bb36e The robustness and reversibility are both features of the connector.
Seriously. Fuck Micro-B in the ear.
-
@Weng I officially have TWO USB-C devices, my NUC and my phone.
The phone plug is very tight.
-
@FrostCat It actually holds the weight of my giganormous phone after being used more than ten times! ITS AMAZEBALLS

Actual email I just sent (on a group email chain containing prettymuch everybody in my general circle of friends):
"Hey ,
Remember how I told you I was going to park my car in your garage during Gencon because I'm paying for your hotel room at Gencon?*I'm actually parking it there starting tomorrow for my Columbus trip, too. 's apartment complex is full of children that enthusiastically smash car doors into the side of other cars, as evidenced by this photo:
[photo of 's car with a giant crease in the fender]Would you prefer payment in beer or lapdances?"
*The roadtrip leaves from his house, he doesn't have street parking, and he's driving his car there anyway - and has actually already left, but he doesn't want people parking there because he's a new homeowner and he's hyper-nervous about liability and insurance. I told him I was going to park there. I did not give him the option. He's still kinda butthurt about it.
-
Update: He prefers beer. What the fuck.

Status: using four computers in my fleet for Scouts. They're making a brochure in Microsoft Publisher.
They're doing pretty good for being slated as digital signage units.

That's not a smiley face. That's Microsoft's "oops, everything is fucked" face. As seen on the BSOD.

What about the weird USB 3 micro-B that was only used by some external harddrives and the Galaxy S5?

@Weng your friend is a madman.

All of my external hard drives using the laptop (2.5) size drives use that connector. It's ok, I guess.

Status: And now I'm pretty much set up, just need to install all my helper apps and Visual Studio, but that's for another time.
I'm surprised how snappy my new... I mean, refurbished laptop feels!

Status: DB connection pool mysteriously began leaking connections yesterday. Fun times for all.
-
@boomzilla Ours too. One user had 6000 connections open
-
@Jaloopa Our pool is limited, and for some reason yesterday the size that has been used for years is no longer any good.
