Seems to be the pro version with a limited licence

@Onyx For working all day they might get uncomfortable but Garmin tells me I've run 175km with them since I bought them and I've hardly noticed them.
@anonymous234 said in Commuting WTF Thread:
the crowd of people in front of you won't fucking make way.
Solved problem:
@Onyx I use these for running. They can also be used for swimming but I've never tried it.
They stay on, block out all sound, and have built-in storage so you can leave your phone at home.
I have the cheaper model with no Bluetooth so I can't comment on that.
There's a Gordon Bennett street in Warsaw which always amuses me.
But in looking up the spelling it turns out it's from a real person and not just a minced oath.

@blakeyrat If you ever want a Minecraftesque game, but one which actually pushes you do do stuff, then I can recommend Dragon Quest Builders.
Asked whether Hunt’s threat [...] or Raab’s threat [...] were the kind of good manners usually associated of the British, Maas replied: “At the recent Nato summit I took part in bilateral talks with [the Turkish president] Mr Erdogan and Mr Trump, so good manners are always relative.”

My girlfriend's laptop has been nagging for weeks about some updates but she needs to watch a whole season of some shitty drama to free up enough space.
@mott555 Have you tried running the update tool (not Windows Update) and told it to clean install?
Maybe @Fox was on to something. Very short article mentions the guy having a sign four times
Works perfectly in Vivaldi. Looks quite professional for what is basically a guy in his flat.

I checked my letterbox this morning to find a letter from Pearson. This is rare enough to be exciting (I've had more court summons in the last ten years than letters). Sadly, it was a letter about GDPR.
I'm pretty sure I've done some training with them so them having my address is conceivable. However, there is no way they have my address without also having my email address.
Bonus : the letter stated I needed to log in to my account and agree before the 15th of June. The letter was sent on the 14th, and no doubt didn't get to me before the 18th.

@rhywden Interesting. Would you have a link to something that discusses the experiment in depth?
It was carried out by professors A. Esop, H. Are, and T. Ortoise.
Did he have an MS account signed in on it? If so the contacts are normally backed up to Live.com.
@blakeyrat Like with the Assassin's Creed games I long ago lost track of which game I had played and whether it was any good.
I remember reading somewhere that the part of your brain responsible for writing is not the same part that handles typing.
This leads to people making mistakes on the computer that they never made when using a pen, with homophones being the most common.
Personally, I dislike the 'mash-the-submit-button-I'm-too-important-to-check-the-two-sentences-I-wrote' mentality which most forums have, although this one's pretty good.
PSN added CoD: Black Ops 3 to the PS+ subscription this month (EU, not sure about the others).
@mrl I don't understand any of this but I clicked it anyway.
@blakeyrat said in Android without google?:
Oh, you also learned this the hard way. Wouldn't it have been nice if some of those "Android Android rah rah rah!" people told you up-front that what you wanted to do is literally impossible because their OS is so poorly-made.
But at least my phone keyboard can send me notifications full of advice now!
If you haven't got Oreo yet it has extra notification fun
@magus said in Android without google?:
If whatever you ended up with allows the Microsoft Launcher, tell us how it is. My Icon is still holding on for now, but I'm looking at this as an inevitability at this point.
I was going to put this in Blakey's thread but as I'm still 300 posts behind here'll do.
Like him, I wanted to have the Windows Phone unread emails badge. I have a personal and business email address so on WP I had one tile for each of them.
I have a Huawei phone which has a few apps forcibly installed. They aren't too bad by themselves but they cause problems when combined with lazy devs.
I've spent the last few weeks trying to find a launcher that will provide some of the basic functionality that's built in to WP phones, with very limited success.
First I tried Launcher 10, which tries to copy WP. Looks pretty good but only grabs data from the default apps (thank you Huawei). Meaning that it will only grab pictures from Gallery and not Photos.
Tried Evie Launcher. Can't display the weather widget.
Tried Smart launcher. Can't display the GMail calendar schedule.
Tried Microsoft launcher. This one's the best so far but has its own problem. Namely, email. Once I had had MS launcher for a while I still couldn't get emails right, so I installed multiple clients, all connected to the same GMail account. It looked like this:
There are six email apps there, with various unread badges.
Here's another
Now I added a widget whose sole job is to display unread GMail emails.
Now here's the kicker. None of them except Outlook are actually displaying unread emails, but rather unread notifications. Clear the notifications and the badges disappear. I believe at the time of the screenshot I had three unread emails so none of them were correct. Outlook never shows more than 1.
While I was more than ready to write this off as yet another of Android's wonders, it actually turned out to be the fault of the launcher as the others display correctly.
Consequently, I'm still trying to get a home screen with weather, a big clock, unread emails, and my daily schedule. It seems to be a bridge too far.
@dcon said in Your $100 smart lock is actually a $0.50 paperweight:
: Oops. That update went sideways. Sorry we bricked your lock! For the low-low price of $999.99, we'll send
a lock breaker outyou a screwdriver to remove your lock.
I feel your pain. I, like you and Blakey, have also had to downgrade to Android recently. And I've gone back to feeling like I'm the administrator of my phone rather than its user.
Expect to spend days making the thing shut the hell up and stop spamming you with notifications, with many apps refusing to allow them to be turned off through the system settings (Google Maps has 8+ pages of notification toggle switches).
While the Google aspect isn't too bad (although it's spread to my PC browser) some phones have their own versions of apps, and some third-party apps don't allow you to switch from the default :(
For Honor is free on Uplay for the next few days. You need to get Ubisoft on you, though
@blakeyrat It will also have even more pointless shit to pick up and if we're lucky we can look forward to another ten years of whatever this version's 'arrow to the knee' is.
@masonwheeler could be this one (not complete skull)
@blakeyrat I was pointing out that it is 'news' in some form, but it isn't newsworthy.
I would still argue it fits the definition due to being a report about recent events, and while it may be of less interest to most people, it's certainly better than the 20 Trump stories a day that has become the norm.
@blakeyrat said in BBC News and the case of the "why the fuck is this news?":
This is not news in any way, shape, or form.
I didn't know about it so it's news to me. What is your definition?
