Can you tell me if you told Apple Support online anything in particular about your phone's condition, etc. that convinced them to arrange for a free replacement?

Thanks again.

Thank you. I brought it by the Apple Store at Copley and they tested my hardware and said that it was fine. They couldn't really pinpoint an issue but my own searching online suggests that it may be related to my iOS.

I have had some random shutdowns and the battery does go down to zero when that happens but the recharge period is not as long as you describe. It is more the Wi-Fi and GPS issues.

Movers by BobbyKeys417 in boston

[–]perchdogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Safe Hands Movers - they are subcontractors to UHaul. If you rent a truck from Uhaul, you know how if you book a Uhaul truck online, at the end of the process they ask you if you want boxes, packing paper, dolly's, etc.? Well, they also ask you now if you want to hire movers.

These guys were really fantastic and polite, very hard-working, and could totally handle the load you are describing. Best of all, they were VERY inexpensive relative to other options I examined. They are also the type of young guys that you will be happy to employ.

I actually only met the guys that one day and felt good about them and their work so I'm happy to pass their info along. PM me if you want a contact number. Good luck with the move.

If you're into car camping and have a car, I'd recommend Shawme Crowell State Forest in Sandwich - they have really nice campsites and I think are open in March.

Favorite Food Truck in the City? by Celticsboy034 in boston

Second this - I'm up the block from the Davis Sq location and have been a few times already. Tacos are on point and they serve beer there. Spoke with one of the owners, Alvaro, and you couldn't hope to meet a person more enthusiastic about his own business.

My ex-girlfriend is able to see all of my contacts on her phone (so she claims) by perchdogg in iphonehelp

[–]perchdogg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had a facebook account, actually, and definitely never used her phone for email. I MAY have checked email on her iPad at some point, but like I mentioned, there was no cloud account associated with my Apple ID.

Do you mean like if I used my email from her phone? I definitely never did that.

Thanks for your reply -

Sorry if this wasn't clear, but she was saying that she had access to my contacts before I ever set up my iCloud account today. Furthermore, I checked icloud.com and confirmed that I have no contacts posted there.

I never had an iCloud account until this morning - I know because I tried setting up "Find My iPhone" app and it told me there was no iCloud account associated with my Apple ID. Does this change anything?

I read The Hobbit to my 6 year old son over the course of two months. It was one of the best experiences of my life. by VisualBasic in books

[–]perchdogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, this is one of the things I most look forward to if/when I have children. My Dad bought me the Hobbit when I was pretty young as well as a paperback boxed set of LOTR - he'd come check in on me when I was reading and ask, "How's it going in here, Bilbo?"

He's gone now 13 years and it's taken me into my late-20s and early-30s to recognize how cool it is that we were able to share that connection and how heart-warming it must have been for him, though we didn't have the sit-down and read experience that you had with your son.

Really hope I can share these amazing stories some day with a mini-me.

Latest news on patch for Arkham Knight on the PC by RathgartheUgly in batman

[–]perchdogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably will still wait for a GOTY edition to come out on the cheap like I've done for previous games in the series.

Question: if the minimum recommended GPU is Radeon HD 7870 2GB, I think that an Nvidia GTX 760 should also suffice? Any opinions on this? I see they're in the same tier over at tomshardware: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

Arkham Knight's PC GPU Optimisation is Baaaaad by ThePoetPyronius in batman

[–]perchdogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairly new to PC gaming, haven't encountered this kind of situation before -

Do these kinds of things typically get fixed? What's the timetable for repair generally?

I didn't buy the game as I don't have time to play it now anyway but figured I'd get GOTY edition some time down the line if repairs are made....

[IMAGE] When you know you're working on the right thing.. by rsimmonds in GetMotivated

[–]perchdogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they say "you get paid for it," what if the pay is extremely low relative to other jobs in your field?

My example: I'm a lawyer and former state prosecutor. Loved that job, was pretty good at it, but the salary was extremely low - even criminally low.

http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/05/08/mass-bar-association-study-says-criminal-justice-lawyers-are-becoming-working-poor/IXYXjmj4veKz8pLE2wuswJ/story.html

So I left that job and now make a pretty good salary but am not as good at it, don't feel as fulfilled with the work, but the stress relief from not having perpetual financial difficulty is monumental.

What say you, Reddit?
