    Why is it so hard to migrate data from old to new Android phones (in comparison to iPhone)?

    I have found that with pixel devices it is extremely simple. I've never found it difficult to have everything transfer over. Things are either backed up on the cloud, or when starting a new pixel phone it prompts you to connect the cable to the old phone and it transfers everything flawlessly...

    Cryptocurrency Mining Slowdown Could Lead to GPU Price Cuts

    The End of Blu-ray

    I have yet to buy a Blu-ray player, still just DVDs. So I must be part of the problem. Streaming is just too easy, and my van still has a DVD player, so that is what we purchase for the little ones.

    Air Force Revs Up Production of Precision Bomb Dubbed "World's Largest Sniper"

    Looks like they can adjust the explosive nature of the bomb even in mid-flight. That way it can be a very small yet concentrated explosion, or something larger to take out surrounding targets.

    Samsung Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy Buds Commercial Leaks

    Looks like a beautiful phone. I personally love the hole punch design. Not a fan of the notch. My last two phones have been a pixel and pixel 3, but I do miss the hardware Samsung puts out. (don't miss the choppy UI that always happened after OS updates. Unusable)

    Google Pixel 3

    I'm jumping on the $400 off Verizon deal. Upgrading from my pixel 1 to a 3. Have never rooted, don't care about locked bootloader, and have been with Verizon 15+ years so device credits work great for me. Makes the phone much more reasonable now at that price.

    Classic NES Makes its Way Back Again

    Facebook Co-Founder Says Technology Will Continue Destroying Jobs

    States Push Back after Net Neutrality Repeal

    The FCC voted in 2015 to regulate broadband Internet providers as a public utility. This is what we are referring to as net neutrality laws. This is what the FCC just voted to do away with (get rid of net neutrality). It could be argued the idea has been around for longer, but the internet has...

    What Really Happened with Vista: An Insider’s Retrospective

    States Push Back after Net Neutrality Repeal

    So this net neutrality law only existed for what, 2 years or so? I just don't see why we need to allow the government to regulate and meddle with it when it has survived without their "help" for so many years before that.

    New Moto E4, Android.

    Amazon Echo Is Three Times as Popular as Google Home, Says New Sales Research

    Nope Typing on the laptop at the moment. And my poor car does not have Bluetooth. I kill cars with mileage, so I don't get the fun toys in my car unfortunately.

    I just ordered Pixel 128gb in black from Verizon's black Friday sale @ $15/month payment plan for 24 months (total cost $360). Finally replacing my S5. My idea had been to wait for a price drop next year, but this works. They have the 32gb at $10/month.

    s5 update to marshmallow

    I noticed that it changed the name and file path of the SD card. I use MortPlayer for my Audiobooks and it 'lost' my Audiobook folder on the SD card due to this following the update. I just had to go into the settings and redirect it to the new sd card file path. Might be something that helps.
