If you bought a new phone in 2018, why?
And why did you get that *model/brand*?
If company phone, then why not just pass?

I currently have an LG G4, which was a flagship phone of its time.
Now I'm considering buying a new one because this phone doesn't seem to like WiFi and my wifi doesn't seem to like the phone.

I don't think I want another flagship phone again, since all I've used this one for is email, telegram, conference apps, netradio, banking, devrant, Google music, pedometer. In the beginning I liked it had FM radio, but I'm not even using that anymore. And never used it for gaming (no blizzard, I don't want Diablo on mobile)

I don't want to throw lotta money at it.
So some of my requirements are: rootable, if possible changeable battery, great camera, latest Android version, exercise tracker of some sort.

Any alternative ideas for phones to look at or website that can give a list based on selections?

We have a patching system that takes a main version and applies small changes while they are able to work. I designed it inspired by how Google and Mozilla does it.

Last week I prepared a small change to the patch by replacing a single exe and leaving everything else so no database changes were required.

I committed the patch file and left it for our testers without changing version numbers as that wasn't required here.

Well... More changes were made and version numbers were bumped. Which required version changes in the database, but no changes were being executed by the tiny program that does that because they made changes to that instead of just reusing the old version to.

That change were made to prevent it from redoing old changes which I guess is fine. Except now it did no changes at all.

Please test if you change what I commit.

I hate when my co-worker a second after explaining the problem for him automatically says "I don't know what to do".
Maybe think about possible options instead.

Which do you prefer:
A = (stat != "0")
Or
B = stat != "0"
Ignoring that () are redundant

Grrrr every 2nd request to github fails with certificate errors right now

Thought there might already be the first high altitude rant.
Hello from 10km above you all.

Things to complain about:
The LOUD plane.
The LOUD Asians.
The seat swapping Asians. Throws passenger manifest out the window in case of accidents.
The hairiest dude next to me which is only like 3 links away from being descendent of monkies.

The good stuff:
Modern Boeing 737-800.
Free WiFi for everyone.
Friendly crew.

I now know how serious linksys takes my security.

Today I heard a story from my workplace about a clinic that uses our software.
They received a virus that causes the computers on this clinic to bork because the owner clicked a link in an email with a fake postal message.

Right after we had restored them...
Then he wanted to see if it would happen again if he clicked the link...

Thought that would have taught them.
But it happened a 3rd time in the same week.

So this fucking registry database key exists.
Thoughts?

Went to the most pleasing grocery store yesterday. I couldnt quite put my finger on why that was, until I actually paid attention to the aisles

Today I met the realization that someone lost the source to the compiler True Basic.
Bugs in the source of the compiler and it cannot be fixed, ever in that language again.

Another ocd annoyance

I'm in this crazy place today. I like this kind of crazy.

Just noticed I've forgot to cancel pinging of my raspberry pi since yesterday. 11881 pings later, it is up.

I still don't.

Using devRant too much?

Who would admit to having using that Java based button with hover effects on web development when it was widespread in early 2000 and late 1998?

Visual studios default is 4 spaces. None of us current 3 out of 4 developers have changed it. And no past developers have used anything else.

But this one guy...
I can't modify this file without indentations fucking up all over the place.
