Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Chief, I recently put a 250GB SSD in my 3 year old laptop after the hard drive started to fail, and it definitely made it a kid again. :)

My reasoning was I can get a good price on an SSD by itself, a LOT better than any full system would charge to upgrade to an SSD anyways. So when I do finally get a new laptop, I will just get one with a regular hard drive and move the SSD over myself. :D
 
Great thoughts, Anti.

Yeah, I figure that the new laptop, hybrid hard drive and SquareTrade on both will run about $1500 :eek: and there's no telling how long it would be "top of the line".

Sure, it'll do everything I want or need it to do and I would expect it to last a good 4 years. Still, that's $375 a year for the privilege of replacing my aging laptop (which I might sell and offset the cost by $150-$200).

Or like you said: $150-$200 for an SSD and turn my aging laptop into a much faster (but still aging) laptop.

AUGGGHHHHH! Decisions!
 
Haha, it was the most liked comment on YT. :)
Apparently there's 3 more youngins growing up. One is already learning the mandolin. Can't wait to see if something comes of it!
 
Good morning everyone - nice 3-day weekend for me and back to work today. Really hurting from the gym yesterday, but the good kind of hurt.

Everyone that has flashed JBS 4.5.6, how is it performing for you. Lately on 4.5 (regular) I have been seeing a ton of lag when unlocking the phone and typing on the keyboard. I want to attribute it to the amount of apps I have so I am going to do a nice big uninstall today because I think I am at around 200 total apps and that seems like quite a lot honestly.

Also planning on doing my first all-grain homebrew recipe this upcoming weekend. Going to be a simple, one malt / one hop recipe to get me started, but should be very delicious nonetheless. I bottled my Pilsner and Blue Moon clone yesterday with the day off. Cannot wait for those to be done - pretty stoked on those.

Chief - did you pick up a Vavo from UDS, that honestly gets a bit more use than my Capta does because it sits on my side table next to me bed. BUT they're Kickstarter releases have been awesome so far - cannot wait to see what else they have in store for us.

No Stigy, I don't have a Vavo but I DO have my Capta and use that thing every night as my bedside stand for Ginny. I still have the issue, though, with cables wanting to go everywhere but where I want them to... and Snable will fix that, so I DO hope it gets funded.
 
Anti, convinced me to break out my guitar for the first time in a while, and now I'm contemplating getting a banjo! :eek:

Stigy, if you need any tips or help with the brew/recipe, let me know!

I've been on Sourcery 4.5 since it came out and it has had a lot of lag and just acting weird in general.

Clean install? Haven't had too many glitches with AOKP, on the stock kernel. Crossing my fingers that the Gnex isn't reaching eol with ROMs. Remember when my Droid was just limping along with later Gingerbread ROMs.

Ah yeah I hope so too - just backed it. Pretty excited about it if it makes it, which it should.

Definitely will do - going with the Brew in a Bag (BIAB) method this time around so we'll see how it goes! Really excited to try it out.
 
Hey guys, need a little help, if you would be so kind:

So I just sold Nexy. Poor girl. But she'll be in good hands.

I have 2 questions: Should I also ship my Nexy's 4G sim card, or should I ship out a new one?

Also, how do I wipe all info on my phone's memory? Should I format the SD card partition in recovery?

Probably double posting, but just saw this.

I've been seeing the same thing lately in 4.5 (from a clean install). Home screen redraws and lag on the keyboard and in Chrome.

Maybe I will go to AOKP - dread you liking it? Is it 4.2.2 based?

Ha, know what you're talking about but never tried it.
I have a massive 60qt cooler and hand made cpvc manifold I use. Works great but my efficiency isn't the best with batch sparging. My brew pot is awesome though. Welded a nice drain pipe for it. Works okay unless I use too many whole leaf hops.
I've also tried the no chill method and the resulting beer turned out fine so if you don't have a good chiller, give it a shot. :)

I installed it after I completely wiped my phone and started over.

Don't ship any Sim card, as the buyer will need to get their own.
