You guys know Destiny 2 is coming to the PC?

Loved it on PS4. It's a game that should be on the traditional KB/M controls.

What you have in your machine right now? I still have a 980 Ti to sell. Thinking about maybe even giving it away.

Edt: Lost the case stickers for it. I know that is a huge sealing point. Sorry.

Did you play Destiny on consoles? It had its issue but was really good at times. It did certain right and you felt the potential, just lack of any social aspect was missing.

Does Samsung still lock their bootloader's?


In the US yes, do what I'm doing and get the international version they have unlocked bootloaders and XDA pretty much only develops for them.

Plus the international ones come with the Exynos CPUs that offer a bit more performance over the Snapdragon.

We purchased an International one off Amazon last year.

I just do not like anything about it. At first the camera was great and performance awesome, but after a while it slowed down for the SO. After updates settings she turned off would turn back on, all sorts of stupid shtt. She fckking hates the thing. She is not one of us and doesn't have time to fckk with settings and stupid shtt.

Like I said, we have both been spoiled with pure android experiences. Maybe that gave us a bad taste when she moved to Samsung.

Plus im scared of monitoring her phone and making sure Samsung isn't turning things on that auto logs you in. Ever since having the phone, we have had pictures of inside our house posted on Google maps.

Only reason we even found out was because Google sends you an email saying thank you for improving Google Maps.

creepy. She probably accepted one of those usage send information things.

The international ones are rooted as easily as a Google phone and there are tons of roms and kernels on XDA for them only so I'm not too worried about it. The new Exynos S8 benchmark overtakes the iPhone 7/+ for the most powerful phone currently out.

Plus they got rid of TouchWiz too even though I'd mod the shite out of it anyways.

It just checks too many boxes for me to not get it, 6.2" edge to edge HDR amoled top display on the market, stereo speakers, wireless charging, top tier camera, great design and craftmanship, etc.

IdK. She doesn't use the phone for many apps and no games on it.

I will screenshot the email google sent her. The craziest part, the photo uploaded didn't come from our phones but came from her account. It was like a snapshot inside an app like you are saying. We even scrolled through hundreds of photos on my NAS trying to find it.

She has all the steps put in place to limit being hacked. I make here turn on 2step for everything and gave her strict criteria for passwords. Mainly because she handles all the money now. Let her just dump shtt into the savings, pays bills and amexs. A lot easier that way.

Watching some videos on the S8.

Damn its a nice phone. But the fckking software and me not trusting Samsung will keep us away from it.

But... it is nice.

It is, I'm excited. Sad to see the 6P go it's had a helluva run and will go down as probably my favorite phone ever.

Pour one out.

Nexus 5 and 6P are my goat phones. I thought nothing would beat the 5, but the 6P has made it damn tough to pick
