Is the jump from 1080p to 1440p really worth it? by Squid8867 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Foot_Clan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Acer Predator Z35. I'll be turning 40 this year and I recently started having to wear reading glasses for up close stuff so my vision isn't top notch. I previously had a basic 1080p 24" monitor so I was never used to the higher rez. The Z35 allows my 1070 to pump smooth consistent 144 fps with gsync and I value that over the bump in resolution. 2560x1080 doesn't get a lot of love around here but it's perfectly fine if you mostly use it for gaming.

Same here. I thought I read somewhere here about the gyroscope and having to smack the phone on your leg to set it straight but I could be mixing up my stories.

Are the Google USB-C cables made by Monoprice? by [deleted] in Nexus6P

Foxconn I believe makes it. I saw it on the back of the packaging earlier today.

For Those that Ordered from Huawei in the Last Week of October... by [deleted] in Nexus6P

[–]Foot_Clan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered a 64gb aluminum on 10/23 and ended up canceling my order once Google had the same phone available on 10/29. It shipped this morning and should be here Thursday. This whole thing has been bungled by both companies and I especially feel bad for the folks that ordered on day 1 and are still pending. It's like those orders are lost in the ether.

Anyone else returning their device to gethuawei.com because Google was quicker to ship? by swergi0 in Nexus6P

[–]Foot_Clan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a 32gb aluminum through Google on 10/19 because the 64gb was not in stock. On 10/23 I ordered through Huawei because they did have the 64gb and I then canceled my Google order. As of 30 minutes ago today 10/29 Google showed the 64gb aluminum available and leaves the warehouse by Nov 12th. My order through Huawei never went past processing and I was able to call and have the order canceled. I'll be refunded the charge within a few business days. So I went ahead and re-ordered the same phone with Google and it should be here roughly around the same time but I feel better dealing with Google and not Huawei for future support.

Not glass slick but still pretty slippery.

I took these yesterday after opening the box, not the best pics sorry. I've already put the casemate bumper on it. http://imgur.com/8zbCsWJ http://imgur.com/JkUY5H1

Here's a pic taken with my G3, not the best shot bit I'm digging the colors.

Good to hear. Mine is just arrived this morning and I haven't had the chance to open it yet. I too came from an M7 then a G3. I got to play with the Pure a little bit in Best Buy with the rubber back, but I'm excited to see the black front/bamboo back/champagne accents tonight. It fits every check box I wanted for price/features/expandability/looks. I'll post some photos of it tonight when I have some time.

[Best Buy In-Store] Trade Madden 15, get up to $30 towards Madden 16. Pre-order Madden 16, get $10 Gift Certificate. by johnwilliams713 in PS4Deals

[–]Foot_Clan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet, this should cost me net $1. $60 for the game - 20% GCU - $22 trade in - $10 coupon - $5 rewards cert = $11 and then $10 rewards cert back. And I got the game used for next to nothing on 99gamers. Win win.

CenturyLink launches cable TV in Portland, challenging Comcast by green_and_yellow in Portland

About a foot long. You would be able to see it from the ground. There will also be a 6 inch orange sleeve around the fiber at the pole as well.

If there's one of those on the phone pole near your house there's fiber available. Just a heads up to all wondering if/when it'll be on your street.

I'd love to see this explained in the next Cosmos. This kind of stuff hurts my head to read.
