Nice.

I may just stick with my 6P for another year, not sure yet. Too many rumors of what is and isn't in/on the phone.

If I had a 6P I'll probably keep the phone.

But then idk, I like the smaller size

I would upgrade if it weren't made by HTC. You're mileage may vary though.

Yeah I probably will, I like the bigger size like the N6 myself. Screen wise.

Throw in the SD820 instead of 821 and no front facing stereo speakers and I'm out on the new one (if true).

I like HTC designs. Just their screens and cameras are historically vomit.

HTC killed it with the Nexus 5, still the best Nexus to date for most.

I don't give a shite about their own line.

Hell Huawei made the 6P, first phone for them in the US, and they knocked it out of the park.

That was LG. Also my favorite phone to date.

Huawei was already a good brand before coming to NA. Totally different.

Google explained that new devices that ship with Nougat on board would come with support for seamless updates that will make updating the entire system and Android apps a lot easier than before. That means your next Android update will be ready to go instantly, without requiring restarts or other annoying app optimizations.


Nothing worse than the slow arse App Optimization part of custom roms/kernels. So that's cool, but...

But to offer this feature, devices will have to sacrifice some of their built-in storage. A developer who has intimate knowledge of HTC’s plans, and who has leaked details about HTC’s plans before, says the feature will be found on the upcoming Nexus handsets.

Curious fact about Android N for upcoming HTC Nexus phones,all partitions will be doubled..What a waste of storage..

I've been doing a lot of looking around at a mobo upgrade for my pc. I have a micro atx gigabyte h110m, but I want a full ATX board for more RAM slots, some better features, and to fit the aesthetics of my case better (I have a corsair air540 but a micro atx board.. Lol) . Looking at a couple of budget ATX 1151 socket Z190 chipset boards.. How do you guys choose among Asus, Asrock, MSI, Gigabyte, etc..? Feature list vs price? Personal experience with the brands?

I like the red on the MSI Gaming boards but I don't really want to make a decision just based upon the color scheme unless that's just the only real difference.

I have the MSI Gaming M7 and love it, zero issues, great features, timely updates, and solid overclocking.

I think most go by personal experience with brands, I like Asus a lot too.

Nice! I've only watched 1 of the 3. Really need to get around to watching 2 of those. Hoping the Neo is lauched before Potter UHD blu-rays are released. If not I will be in the same boat as yourself.

I am going to guess the 1 that you have seen:

Deadpool

I got my numbers all mixed up. I said z190 but really meant z170 and after looking some more I think I'll be fine with the b150 since I don't ever plan on overclocking. MSI has the best deal on an ATX B150 chipset gaming board at 105 right now on Amazon.

Are there any drawbacks to the B150 chipset vs the z170 if I don't care about overclocking? Or should I open the wallet a little and go with z150 to give myself the option to overclocking if I ever choose to? SO.MANY.OPTIONS

No just Life of Pi. I tried watching Deadpool, but was bored. Need to finish.

The one I want to watch is The Revanent.

Edt: I bet Life of Pi will look insane on your TV.

Just got back from a GameStop myself. Picked up Madden for PS4.

I feel so low class in those places.

Damn, thought for sure it would be Deadpool and last choice was Life of Pi.

Yeah Life of Pi and The Revenant should look amazing.

Really not a fan of comic book movies. It rarely shows the reason why I love superheroes.

Deadpool seems alright, I'm just growing old and that humor isn't entertaining.

I drove past a Micro Center in KC last weekend and almost cried that I couldn't stop. I have never been in one.
