What Are You Doing Right Now

@MattSpeller Whatever happened to the giant extra batteries with third party back covers they used to make for cell phones? I would much rather have a thicker phone that lasts longer.
PS. What color is yours?
Otterbox has a external battery case for the iOS 4. It too my phone from running a solid 2-3 days to nearly 10. Of course that also tells you how much I used it...
Alas - last year I upgraded to the 5c during the $1.00 upgrade period.
-
@johnhooks No doubt! I'd rather just have my Nexus be twice as thick right from the factory with a monster battery.
Mine is (heavily abused) black haha
-
@MattSpeller Ha, I wanted the red one so badly, but they were out when I ordered so I got a white one. It was last year right after they announced the Nexus 6 and I was afraid they would run out because the play store had none of them for a while. I waited because the speculation was the 6 was supposed to be close to the same price, so when they said $700 I promptly ordered a 5.

@g.jacobse I have this ridiculous case for mine that has an extra battery in it, but I stopped using it because you can't plug the usb into it to transfer data with the battery in.

Nice looking case... but yes,.. that is a draw back. The Otterbox case did allow for data, worked fine with iTunes. Sadly, I don't believe they carry it any longer.
-
Actually - just checked. Otterbox now has the Resurgence Power Case
-
@MattSpeller They have them for the S3. This brings back memories to my LG VX9800 days. I had a giant extended battery that made the bottom half of the phone super thick, since the battery was the actual back of the phone.

@johnhooks lol awesome! Also reminds me of my old motorola startak
-
@MattSpeller I remember my dad having a bag phone when I was a kid. That was a man's phone.

Fondly remember those - everyone goes outside, lights a smoke. No one works, no one gets hurt.

Frustrated that I can not locate the set up instructions for setting up Linux on a USB drive... Don't want a live version.. that's easy.
Keep looking... i know it's here.... (ruffles internet pages)

Installing TO. Installing FROM isn't an issue. I had a working drive running Mint 17.1, but it wasn't partitioned right.
-
@g.jacobse try taking the HDD out of whatever you're installing it with.
Is it not recognising the USB drive when you go to select where you want it installed?

all devices work,. it's the 'LIVE' vs. 'installed' Live doesn't 'keep' programs and settings. so installing programs 'clear'
-
@g.jacobse oh strange! I've never had that issue! Admittedly it's been a while since I last did one. Wish I could offer something more useful

Are you doing it through a gui or are you dd'ing the ISO to the drive?
