    SMS is really useful though since it's connected to a phone number and not an account. So for example a two step verification for something, instead of being tied to an application and in turn tied to the phone, if it's SMS like Google/Sony does then if you lose your phone, you could easily go to your provider, disable that lost SIM, and get a new one and you wouldn't have to worry about people having access to your authentication system and to set it up again on a new phone.

    I personally would wait for Vega. If performance is fine right now.
    Same price, likely, but power consumption and performance jumps. 1Q18 isn't too far off actually.

    Whatsapp is tied to your phone number as well, you don't create an account.

    Bought a Fire HD 8 tablet although I really don't need it. Damn Black Friday!

    I don't use Whatsapp honestly so no idea, I don't really use messengers that often really. I just find that there are use cases that are nice. And it also helps that you don't have to download anything in order to use.

    Outside of Facebook messenger, Whatsapp was the only way I could talk to my friend from Egypt - but we stopped using Whatsapp, just use Facebook now.

    To go to the store on Black Friday to get an S8 or not to go... that is the question.

    Just bought Star Wars Battlefront 2 on GreenManGaming.

    Why? I don't know... want to play a newer game for once. Path of Exile is fun but sometimes I really just want to enjoy some Star Wars FPS and at least it sounds like they got parts of the game right...

    If I were to get an Audi that is below $100k, it would be the S7. I prefer the look of the 7s to the 8s.

    It's worth it depending on what you have currently, but if my memory isn't failing me I think you once mentioned you had an S7? If so then nah.
    You're also in the US so no nice Exynos model for you...

    Edit: Big surprise, his brother did buy it.

    I would be willing to go as your date, but you would have to buy me a nice dress and I am not shaving my face.

    Interestingly, all but one of my relationships has ended in May. At least of those that have lasted two months or longer. I had not thought about it until now.


    Also, Ew, evga. Luckily they have decent support in the States going for you.
