I really like the OLED panel. When you turn the phone about 45 degrees or so the colors do noticeably shift to a cooler color though. 

 

Bot it sure about this whole “True Tone” thing. @vetali have you noticed with True Tone enabled it just seems to make colors warmer and that’s about it??? But to me they are too warm.

I had truetone on for about 5 minutes and turned it off. Makes the UI look off white.

You sure its off white and not eggshell?

I dunno. It just looked ass so I turned it off.

I wonder if i'd be able to deal with it. I use F.lux and i've got the "eye strain" thing enabled on my phone. True colors have lost all meaning to me.

You could just enable nightshift all the time. That makes it super off white.

That is essentially what the eye strain mode thing is.

I use nightshift and I’ve used flux before that for years (for so long you had to jailbreak to get flux lol)

 

But yeah only at night... during the day I like my phone to have accurate colors

There's nothing like the fear of dying to scare away the winter blues.

I'd rather have a trip to somewhere warm

You know not the glory of Pummelonia?

 

Doesn't surprise me, really. It's a reference to a super obscure Adult Swim show that is basically a gore filled acid trip.

Starting an SMS group chat isnt an issue until someone wants in or out. Then everybody in the chat has to delete the chat all at once. 

Not to mention that texts cost money.

I'd sooner listen to a metal band named Jared.

Do you not have unlimited?

Looked up my plan. As it turns out i do.

Me: 'Yo i kinda wanna start a group chat for the car thread. I'll add you, tyler and vetali to it. Gimme sec'

 

you: 'NO'

I don’t remember this. You sure I wasn’t replying to something else you said? 

 

Or or did I mean that for someone else....

Hey don't go dissing on my band

I'm not, I just like a bit of irony in my music now and then.

 

Heavy Metal band named the same as a typically boring and by the books character? Sign me up.

IIRC we have unlimited everything. When i install game i'll put my computer on mobile hotspot so it doesnt nuke our connection for the rest of the house. 

Now that is surprising. I've got a 24 gig cap on my mobile plan. We're usually the ones without caps over here.

I mean you'll be fine in CA emissions wise if your car is 1975 or older, but have fun if its anything newer.

Yeah, I was in California for six years.  You can't pay me enough to go back to that State.

Was stupid expensive to even keep tags on a 1997 Sonoma 4 cyl pickup when I was there.  Then the DMV would not allow me to tag my motorcycle there (so, smacked Alabama tags on the motorcycle).

I'm not 100% sure which i prefer. The muscle truck is a stepside and it looks damn good. But the notch in the side is great too..

Nice to see someone go with the six  

 

One of my neighbors has a late 80s C10 like the one above and it always makes me want one when it rumbles by. Its a 4x4 too.. Which is the one i want.

His doesn't have the sliding rear window like the one above though. And that is not common around here. I like them

I think my Dad's has the middle slide window.  I will check tomorrow.  Will take some pics too (it real ruff looking though).  Poor thing need some serious rework.

Unlimited pans are kind of coming back but with caveats (like de-prioritizing after certain amount of Gigs).  Myself, once I get my quad shield coaxial cable and the adapter to hook the router to this 10dB yagi antenna, my Internet going to run off the 4G cellular network.  Doing speed test off the phone, darn thing smokes the satellite connection on two bars.  The antenna should allow me to hit four or five bars if I aim it right.  Plus, being in the country side, even if de-prioritized I should keep good speeds out here.  (Heck, in the city I tested...100Mbps down, 49Mbps up while near a tower with 48ms ping)  If I can even get half of that, it will blow the sat out of the water and be cheaper.

I have unlimited on mine buuuuuut no hotspot. Tho 100 bucks for 3 lines with really good speed so I guess we can't complain too much.

I'll never use up 24 gigs of mobile data in my lifetime though. So it ain't too bad.

My dad pays 100 for 5 lines, unlimited everything, but 4gigs of LTE data, then it gets throttled after that.

Maybe?

 

it was a whiiile ago

Honestly just just fuck it and create a whole SMS group chat or a discord or something like that since I wanna be connected with my car thread nerds too.

Somehow I've only used 3GB this cycle, which is really odd for me.

I've hit 40GB of LTE and never got throttled which was surprising.

Ours here is unlimited but anything after 22 they slow you down.
