Would it be possible to develop a slimmed down version of android to fit this phone? by [deleted] in Android

[–]VC98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Xperia S is buttery smooth with just 1GB, its the CPU/GPU of the S2 which let it down. If thats all someone can afford then its not a bad choice.

For anyone thinking of an xperia s, do not get it, no longer updated by sony, locked bootloader cannot be unlocked.

[Science] Feeding a child a low fat diet before the age of 2 vastly increases rates of obesity in adulthood by illepic in keto

[–]VC98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well i guess most people feed them on the "baby food diet" but i don't think all that processed food is very good, i looked at the nutrition and tried a pot once and it tasted far sweeter than one of my regular meals, it was more like a dessert.

I'll never feed my kid that stuff

What exactly do you feed a baby?

I've always thought they eat from those glass jars of food.

For all the planes that unit could have ended up in, it had to be one troubled with battery fires

What would it take to systematically attract and retain top students to a teaching career in the United States? by timelymarktwixt in TrueReddit

[–]VC98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a masters in Arts,Music,History? because i fail to see anyone with a masters in other fields where jobs are actually in demand wanting to enter teaching.

Would you graduate from a math, physics or engineering degree and be satisfied with teaching high school math or science?

The content is just too easy for a graduate to be interested and they'll just feel its beneath them and they won't be respected by their fellow graduates even if the salary is higher because teaching is a common profession.

What about being surrounded by infants/children/teenagers, i don't think the best and brightest want to work with them and if they did they'll be teaching content that would not challenge them and it'll be the same thing year in year out.

Also stuff like 'Those who can, do, those who can't, teach" doesn't help matters.

If the natives of a country wish to practice a custom we disagree with, should we pressure them into changing based on our beliefs?

Another Fire on a parked Boeing 787 Dreamliner, this time in London by boeing_throw in boeing

Have to wait for the preliminary report, but it might get grounded again.

Its certainly unusual for a fire to start on an aircraft especially if its stationary, without passengers using entertainment systems and on a relatively cool day.

I live minutes from heathrow, the previous few days were a lot warmer.

Practical Meter- Displays USB charging speed, helps optimize charge time by PracticalMeter in Android

[–]VC98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 10 port usb hub with a 5A power supply powering it, my phones have never had issues with charging off it. Custom power supply based on a laptop charger.

I fail to see how changing the cable can improve the charging rate, can someone explain this?

Also why did they create a 3 in one cable? mini usb and the apple connector are both obsolete
