I can understand your dislike for Samsung and the crap they force feed your phone, I got an S8 and the amount of rubbish loaded on it is staggering. Prices between SG and Oz are the same, I compared them when I got the S8.
Looked at the Pixel but it was more expensive than the S8 and did not have NFC charging, that was about the only difference. I'll be interested to hear if you are subject to the deluge of crapware on the Pixel.

Good to hear I think. Just assumed they must have been better when Lopitair mention ~$500.00 for the price.

Will probably be down at lunch and get them so reckon I will know in a couple of days. I'm prety sure there isn't any extra shite as it's a Google product and they only want to show off their OS and product.
Got the Google Nexus 7 tablets years ago for the family and they were bare bones, great stuff, nothing but the OS until you install what you want.

One could argue to put the mockers around endless slope and power ? (8)
put the mockers on = Pox
endless slope = hil
power = od

You're right it should have been put the mockers on

How does that get to "pox"?

It's a curse, if you pox something it is doomed

Hi All,
Wasn't really paying attention yesterday, Something was said about World Environment Day 'working' from home (which I can't due to needing hardware). I am pretty sure is next Tuesday, so where is everyone!
Hello, hello... anyone there! I'm sitting here on my own...

Didn't you get the memo?
It's Taco Thursday!

I should be a pure software developer, dealing with algorithms 90% of the time and UI the remaining 10%.
My first projects as an intern (no access to production code, only a bare minimum simulacrum) were revising our RS232 communication classes and implementing MODBUS protocol over RS232 and TCP/IP (for reasons we can't use external components). Thus I became the Communication Expert... the second project was piloting a device we never attached to our machines. Thus I became the Strange Devices expert.
Guess what I did most of my time in the past 6 years? I literally have more hardware on my desk than the blessed hardware engineer. I even got to be moved from the developer pen open space to the hardware lab.

Been there, done that. Have you acquired the strange soldering iron burns that cause havoc with finger print sensors yet?

No, I almost never solder as my circuits are so experimental (aka: nobody knows how The Thing™ should work or be assembled) that screw terminals, breadboards or insulating tape are my main tools.
The chip and board parts are firmly the hardware engineer turf, I work with industrial standards at 24V and several Ampere or more.

I did develop thick skin.
I do believe I acquired led poisoning in an earlier life as well.

Thick skin is a must, led poisoning ? Well after a day of messing with them the worst is a eye strain. Did you mean Lead poisoning...
|
|
|
|
|
I did, is that another sign?

Oooh, the worlds having an environment today.
well that's nice ... I think.

Nah! It's next week, don't dump plastics in the sea!
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, right.
So it's still OK to do it this week then? Great!
