  1. I know one thing...my bluetooth worked flawlessly before it forced the update on me and now i have to sometimes turn bluetooth off/on to get it to connect to my truck radio(sony). You can actually change the touchwiz stuff. I forget what its called but in the app store there is dozens of them to choose from. Even microsoft makes one
  2. I couldnt tell you the difference without playing with both. But for an example cheap phones often lack things like an led notification, flash for the camera, poor picture quality, screens hard to see outdoors, no auto screen brightness, no fm radio tuner, laggy performance, popular apps not compatible.those sorts of things. Speaking of apps not compatible, i ran into this issue with my phone not being able to use my company card reader. So now i have to use their iphone to take credit cards.
  3. The cheap phones are not the same. They have different os's and missing tons of features.
  4. All i know is i gave my employer their iphone back and use my personal samsung android phone for work instead. It felt locked down as if it were a toy. I dont like anything about the iphone. I also gave them the ipad back. I dont see how anyone with any kind of pc experience likes apple products. The frigging ipad they gave me didnt even include a calculator. And there was only 1 free one to choose in their app store. Yall can keep your apple garbage
  5. so how many of you vaginas not watching football now? I think some of you would literally jump off a bridge if he said to.
  6. wonder how many salesman will tell the new owner "now don't you use those front brakes, that's why the rear has a 15" disk" nice bike...I guess lol. I actually like the rims.
  7. I wish diesel would die off in anything non super HD(below an F450 and construction equipment for example). they stink so bad it burns my sinuses and throat. everyone takes the def stuff off and pollute like crazy recon I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, https://blog.caranddriver.com/peeved-by-vws-diesel-malfeasance-chevys-new-diesel-engine-may-be-your-salvation/
  8. you know what's sad? I still have to settle for 4.7mbps DSL. we can't get fioptics where I live. 12 min drive from downtown cincinnati. my mom lives in a rural county in strunk kentucky and they have fiber optic internet at 100mbps. cincinnati really is 10 years in the past on EVERYTHING.
  9. I suggest you get on a trucking forum asap. I looked into doing this and quickly realized all the cons. and they're big cons. any company that is going to "train" you will keep most of your paycheck until it's paid back. you will be OTR driver for at least a year or two. that means you will be spending 20+ days at a time in that truck. you will sit out on the road for a day or two before you are given a run. schedule so tight you can't stop to use the bathroom or eat. you have to pay fines for broken trailers if pulled over. the pay they claim is almost impossible to accomplish. you can only drive for 10hrs a day so do the math... it's not what they sell you. you've been warned..

  12. lol the ellis island award has nothing to do with black people. it was made up by Trumps real estate broker. as a protest to Ronald Regan's medals of liberty awards to 12 naturalized citizens for the centennial celebration of the statue of liberty. who were not actually naturally born citizens. the NAACP did not give this award to Trump. his buddy (william fugazy) gave it to him. fake news out of the trump right as usual
  13. honestly what kind of cop would even care? I've been wearing them for over a decade. so does 90% of the people I ride with. this isn't like driving while intoxicated kind of breaking the law. but it is the kind of stupid only a gov would come up with. I can hear everything just fine wearing them. car horns, cars next to me etc. well, you guys know...
  14. I'd go with the kawi over the honda also. I'm a fan of yamaha's because of the built in diagnostics. but in 2017 that's gone. there is plenty of power in the R6. more than most of us could tame. yamaha seems to restrict them from the factory more than the other brands. once the ecu is flashed they wake up. the R1 can gain 10hp just by turning off some of the noise restrictions in the ecu. I flashed my ecu and use an auto tuner and it's a complete new beast than how it came.
  15. looking for a good deal on a nice tool box? check out lowes for the white kobalt box model 41PTCWHITE it's exactly the same as the stainless one they have on the floor except it's painted white. I'm pretty damn happy with it. comes with a 3 outlet power strip with 2 usb ports, a cord grommet hole in the top, ball bearing drawers and drawer liners. $199 is tough to beat at this size and quality. even the top chest from harbor freight is $299. if you like white that is. if not they have black(with blue drawers), red, lime green, stainless. all cost more though. mine just needs some stickers the lower box is a US General box from Harbor Freight. I'm not a fan of Harbor Freight stuff but these boxes are very good quality. the lock mechanism and key is cheap and flimsy. is my only complaint. the large top drawer has all my air tools and misc heavy items in it. opens and closes like silk. either one of these are surprisingly well made for their price. especially compared to craftsman boxes. as you can see on the left. are garbage compared to these. I recommend anyone check them out if you're looking for an upgrade without breaking the bank.
  16. me and my brother have been talking about this. He brought up a pretty good point that maybe because we don't really understand it or it's just something everyone is over looking. that is you are giving out this info yourself on a regular basis. think about all the forms you've filled out that needs your SS, drivers license number, current and previous addresses and so on. when you apply for a job they want all of this. the bike dealership has all this info if you applied for a loan, the DMV has all of this info, schools have all of this info, ever rent an apartment? that landlord has all this info...and so on. maybe this is actually being blown out of proportion? if thieves want the info they really don't need to hack anything to get it. it's easily available to just about anyone. maybe it's time to outlaw all these places wanting this info in the first place!
  17. after getting the report, there is nothing on it. it was a question they had to freeze my credit. maybe it was just a trick question. but I started to panic for sure. apparently 90% of everything I've ever purchased has used transunion. all 3 companies do not have anything on them. so I'm ok for now i guess. all 3 have been frozen.
  18. also experian or equifax will allow me to view my free annual credit reports.
  19. I also love how you can't get ahold of equifux to freeze your credit with them. nice... and experian is showing I opened a car loan in march of 2016. I surely did not. this is not showing on free credit report results.
  20. don't enter any kind of info to their site (real info) and do not sign up to their protection. you forfit your rights to sue them once you agree to their terms and conditions. they're telling people all over the news to be aware of their clause. so far experts are telling people to freeze your credit and keep checking your bank accounts daily. all 3 of them do charge you to do freeze your credit though.
  21. Damn. Never heard of that. We used to have safety meetings at work and one of them was about building materials with asbestos. Old siding that resembles a pressed wood product has asbestos too. We were not allowed to cut, drill or remove it. I had to take the lead safe renovator classes at the university of cincinnati and the whole lead paint stuff is blown out of proportion. Its only dangerous to children under 5. To clean the jobsite they said to use swiffers lol
  22. this is a lost cause. yamaha doesn't give this code out. I've asked dupont, basf, and ppg. a body shop would just trial and error the color match. for example, http://www.refinish.basf.us/colortools_about
  23. consumer reports did a list of the most over priced vehicles on the market. ford F250, 2 models of dodge rams, and the gmc sierra 2500 made the top of the list. there is no reason a pickup truck is going for $50K+ new. these things should be starting around $20k ending around $26k. in my opinion a 4x4 truck is a waste of money. youre not supposed to drive it above 55 for long periods. so useless to get to work on the 1 day a month you might need it. I think a lot of people think a 4x4 is the same as an all wheel drive
