Not me, but I tried to do some maintenance work on my kids' iPad yesterday.  What a horrendous design.  

1 - You can't mass delete photos?  Really?  I have to go through and put my finger on all the 139,303 pictures my daughter took of her nose individually before hitting delete?  What a colossally stupid design.  I have looked and looked for ways to "SELECT ALL" and delete.  Nope.  
2 - For my Andriod, I have a setting that checks for battery optimization, will close apps I'm not using or put them to sleep, clear out memory and make the device work more efficiently.  I looked that same setting in the iPad - guess what's not there?  So I looked for apps that would do the same.  Tried two and gave up.  They suck.
 

My wife and boss complain constantly that they cannot delete more than one email at a time and that old ones tend to repopulate after deleting.  I can't imagine that is the only option, but I've seen it with my own eyes.  Apple sucks.

Galaxy J7 here:  Settings > Device Maintenance

That's it.  It'll run a diagnostic, give you a score out of 100 on how you're doing, suggest changes to storage, battery and memory and do the work for you.  Good luck finding that on an iPad.

My wife switched from her Android to the iPhone so she could facetime her family.  She hates the ####### thing with a passion, other than the ability to facetime, which annoys me.  You want to watch my fatassss break landspeed records, have my wife facetime call her family.  I disappear like a donut on Shuke's desk.

"Your iPhone is running out of memory.  Click here to buy more storage".  #### you, Apple.  ####, you.

You anti iPhone guys ought to get together with my Galaxy-loving 59 year old brother and 82 year old mother and share horror stories.

 
I have a 7s.  No animated poop emoji or unicorns or any other #### like that and Siri has been eliminated with extreme prejudice.

yeah, tried all of the innard fixes, restricted data, optimized apps, etc - still draining like a right mutha - even went with some third party apps that were great at turning off background static, but ate a ton of battery life in the process. 

i'm just gonna chuck this ###### into the East River. soon. pics will ensue.

That's too bad.  The batteries do weaken over time.  Maybe a new one?  I dunno.  I try to keep my device running light and unencumbered by unnecessary apps, so that's helped with this battery life and overall performance.  The battery on my last LG device was horrid doodoo.

Take your battery out. Lay it on a smooth glass surface and try to spin it. If it does, replace it. Wa la!

Speaking of which, I had my first appointment tonight at the "Design Studio" where I choose all the garbage for the new house I'm having built.  Holy hell, I had no idea how many decisions go into a house - usually I just say "how big is the naan oven" and then "SOLD!"  The number of times I said, "Do people actually care about that?" was enormous.

This was a two-hour appointment, which will be followed by a four-hour appointment in a few weeks and then another two-hour appointment thereafter, so there is opportunity for even more ridiculous upgrade opportunities, but my favorite today by far was this.  It's a bit difficult to understand from the picture, but yes, that's a TV installed within the bathroom mirror, which of course the lady assured us came with a remote since you wouldn't want to poke your mirror with your finger.  

I couldn't stop laughing for about five minutes straight.  When I finally did, I asked her, "Is that for people who just need to watch TV while they're...pooping?"*  She said mostly for people who might take 45 minutes putting their makeup on in the morning.

A TV.  In the mirror.  Wanna guess what it costs?

*I wasn't pooping.

I’ve looked into this upgrade.  As I recall, depending on surrounding upgrades it costs between 35-40% of your dignity.

Diamonds...and Rust!  

Great reference. My Galaxy S6 needs recharging every moment of its waking existence at this point.  

 
At work this evening I overheard a group of people extolling the virtues of installing a tv in a mirror. I didn't have the balls to ask if it was in the throne room or not. Actually actually true. 

 
Posted this in the small business thread but got no response but I know we got a lot of smart businessy and lawyerey types in here

Wife is starting to make and sell arts and crafts stuff at a local pop up market but may want to get more involved (setting up an ETSY site, etc)

So far she's only made a few hundred bucks, but if she's able to generate a more consistent sales I assume I need to start getting Uncle Sam involved? 

Couple of main questions

1. Should she file as an LLC or something like that?   My concern is some ####### getting a splinter from someone wood craft or something and suing us, just trying to find the best way to protect us there 

2. At what income level would it make sense to start reporting income, paying taxes, finding things to deduct, etc?  I don't expect to get rich or anything, but hopefully she can at least make a couple hundred bucks a month or something

@General Malaise - Looks like our Bears have hired former Ducks coach Mark Helfrich as their new OC. What's the word on this guy?
Click to expand...
Yeah, I don't know what to say really.  Did he just inherit a great team and system and run things status quo?  His offense seemed to fall apart once Scott Frost left and it didn't just fall apart the following season.  Frost wasn't there for the Alamo Bowl Game where TCU came back to win after being down 31-0 at the half.  That was inexcusable.  Helfrich should not only have been fired after that debacle, but tarred and feathered.  I will never forgive him for that.  It was as simple as lining the QB under center, waiting for the play clock to run down to 1-2 seconds, snap, hand-off, take the 3-5 yards, chew clock, rinse and repeat.  He had his back-up QB stay in the shotgun with a center who couldn't snap the ball and continue with the fast tempo using a pivot who couldn't throw the ball in any other direction but sideways. 

Sorry, it's been over 2 years and I'm still mad about it.  I think Helfrich is innovative, but he owes a lot of his success to Chip Kelly, who's dalliance in the NFL worked initially but not long term.  He might help with the growth of Trubisky but he didn't really groom another QB once Mariota left.  His in-game management was curious, his teams had way too many penalties and let's not forget this fun little fact:  That kid from Hawaii that just won Alabama another Championship?  Yeah, he wanted to go to Oregon.  Helfrich was worried about his grades and didn't offer him.  Thank you for that, Mark. 

 

While the quarterback coach/offensive coordinator in 2014, Frost was part of a Mark Helfrich staff that elected not to offer Tagovailoa a scholarship as a sophomore, despite his heavy interest in the Ducks due to his relationship with, and admiration for, Oregon legend Marcus Mariota.

So focused was Tagovailoa on Oregon that even an in-person visit from then-USC head coach Steve Sarkisian in December 2014 wasn't enough to sway him, according to his father, Galuega.

"To have Sarkisian come out here and actually offer him was a huge deal to me, because he's the head coach at USC," his father said. "To have that, it blew my mind. I told him, 'The head coach of USC came out.' He said, 'Yeah, I know Dad, but I want to go to Oregon. I've always wanted to go to Oregon. Marcus was out there. And I keep telling you, Dad, I know these schools want to offer, but once Oregon offers me, I'm done.' " 

The delay led to a communication breakdown that left Tagovailoa confused.

"Sometimes I forget that Oregon has interest in me. Coach Cal (Lee) tells me to call coaches. When I do some coaches don't answer," he said in spring 2015. "I have no clue who I'm calling. Coach Cal gives me their number... but the last time I was in contact with an Oregon guy was (offensive coordinator) Scott Frost when he came down."

It wasn't until approximately 18 months later - after Oregon secured and then lost the commitment of four-star quarterback Ryan Kelley and Tagovailoa committed to Alabama - that Frost and Oregon coach Mark Helfrich deemed Tagovailoa worthy of a scholarship.

By then, Tagovailoa had soured on Oregon.

The rest, as was quite apparent Monday, is college football history.

Interesting.  I was under the impression that Bears fans don’t know no talking good like me and you, so their vocabulistics is limited to “Da" and “Bears” and “Ditka”, exclusively in that order.

 
So while shopping around for naan ovens on Amazon, I looked for clip-on lights (for hats) and realized they’re aren’t very many out there. Got a great oven though.
