"The smell of soft metal is just starting." (7)
The answer is Nascent.
A soft metal - Sodium (Na)
the smell of - scent
And something nascent is just starting.

Actual conversation last night with a friend in another city.
Friend: do you have wifi in the bedroom?
Me: No, wife turned off for the night.
PS. I swear I typed 'wifi' but autocorrect turned it into something else!

Sorry to hear that. I have it and the coverage is great.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Really? I hacked that server[^] once.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I very briefly thought you meant wife and not wifi.
To each their own, but I prefer my wife's coverage to be minimal.

I got a The new Visual Studio 2017 is available! notification through my vs2015 installation.
A click takes you to Microsoft's site.
So no free upgrade. They seem to be trolling.
Does anyone have any information on upgrading the license, if at all possible?

Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

I just updated two google apps, on my phone.
meh.
I'll probably revert them to factory settings, within a week.

I allow most things to update, but not "play music".
And I install very few apps.
|
|
|

The thing about google's own apps is that they bloat like crazy (just look at the size of the basic "google" app, which just simply [NOT!] puts a search box on your screen -- which I removed).
If you have 3 or 4GB core memory, they soon fill it up with their own apps -- what purpose they serve, I neither know nor give a cr@p .
Even talkback (which they've killed, AIRI), has been updated in the last week. WTF do I need a couple of meg more of it for, if it's deprecated?

Too much information. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I have a smart phone: about the only app I have installed on it is "Here Maps" for sat nav.
I used to be happy with clam shells, but ... the smart phone works inside the house, instead of just in a 2m diameter circle in the garden...

You should probably have gotten a more upscale flip-phone, like my $US 20 LG . Seems to work everywhere - of course, no one but the Mrs. ever calls.
For now, at least, I do my navigation by knowing where I am! (and printing a google map when needed.)

We're in a "signal hole" between two hills, and the house has two-foot thick granite walls, so getting anything that picks up a signal is a bonus!

That's a bluddy good point.
My last "feature phone" did almost everything I do with my current "smart" phone.
