    Most of the changes can be reset but it's annoying that I had to. Doesn't seem like there's any fix for the shitty new battery indicator though.

    I guess. It's now a little lozenge that is much harder to read than the old design.

    It's getting increasingly difficult to get a decent phone that you can unlock the bootloader on. I'd like to see some pro-people, pro-privacy EU regulation, that made it illegal to sell a phone with no way to remove all of the crap that sends your data and movement to unknown third parties.

    Also, on this, where is the fabled return of removable batteries?

    Have you considered jailbreaking it so it runs on a custom *nix build rather than gasoline?

    Diesel. *nix doesn't run well on electrically dead systems.

    On a bus. Going for a pint.

    Excellent decision. Probably should have been plan A.

    Spent the last three months fighting with management and HR and finance and a corporate hiring freeze to get a new contract for one of my most important team members, and just as I'm on the verge of getting the final approval I need the fucker tells me he's leaving.

    There was a giant fuck off concrete block in the fast lane of the highway/motorway. I tried to avoid it but hit it at 80mph. Suffice to say my front right tire is shredded. Still could have been worse. I could be dead. I am always rushing to work. Today was no different but holy shit how did that get there!!!!

    Chicago: Alive.

    Chic's been due a high drama (actual) car crash for some time now. It's been a while since the last one.

    Glad to hear you are still alive.
    Can I suggest you leave for work a little earlier tomorrow, and perhaps keep within the speed limit, you know, just in case some mentalist has left their concrete block somewhere in your path again. And if all you've got from an 80mph crash is a shredded tyre you are one lucky son of a gun. Will you put a lottery ticket on for me this week please?
