Thanks, I will try this out.
There are some interesting instructions here.
One thing I noticed seemed to make things worse was that I previously set mine into "airplane mode" all the time to save battery. The problem seemed to be that when it came back then every process on the tablet would try to contact home at once or something.

Oh, I know that feeling! 
I don't let my Android phone connect to WiFi often - pretty much only when I want to use it with Chromecast - as it will "pull" emails that I'd rather pick up on my tablet, as they are easier to read.
But...I turned it on last night for the first time in a week and it decided to update 24 apps! I don't have 24 apps installed on the damn thing! 
My battery is fine - it lasts all day, and it gets recharged every night - I use it as an alarm clock so it just gets WiFi off (to stop "email chime" all night) and stuck on charge.
Rest of the time, WiFi is on, it's on and working.
How long does yours last?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Battery power is good, even after 2 years and 3 months of owning this thing. Very happy with that.
Also, I use my as an alarm clock too. Best alarm clock ever. Great chime sound for waking up and you can set it just for week days which is great. Set once and forget.
Very happy with the Asus Nexus and would definitely buy analagous pad again. Too bad Google cut the 7 inch one. I don't want bigger and I definitely don't want a smart phone.

The 7 is a good size - big enough to read a book on, play a game (Carmageddon, Magic Rampage, Swordigo, and Plague Inc are the current ones), or watch Breaking Bad, but small enough to fit in a coat pocket.
Much bigger and I'd need a case and forever be leaving it behind, much smaller and it wouldn't be comfortable to use for any of that.
I do have a smartphone (Moto G), but that's because my ten-year-old HP6915 won't connect to Vodafone and they are the only carrier that works inside the house!

...because all hackers are hot, buff, emotionally and physically mature geniuses who can handle themselves in a fight and end up with the hot law enforcement officer / FBI agent / double agent.
I'm sure there's a job description for this somewhere.

Uncanny how you've described my entire life story. Are you stalking me?
Don't be such a doubter. 
Oh, I see why you're confused. I'm whitehat though. Blackhat is for weirdos.

At least in our own fantasies.

Just sit in the middle of the next Starbucks and open up http://geektyper.com/[^], press F11 to get full screnn, choose a theme (The first red font on black background is probably the best theme), and hack the FBI site. Do not forget to yell when you get "Access".
