That’s just not how it works. Why wait until the battery is nearly flat to recharge?
Just stop like you would normally every hour or 2 for 5-10 mins and plug in.
The latest Tesla chargers can add 75 miles in 5 mins so a 10 min break gets you another 150 miles up the road, by which time you’ll need another toilet break anyway.
I have a PixelBook and whilst it's a marvellous gadget the reliability is frustrating.
Bluetooth, sometimes works after sleep, sometimes doesn't, reboot required if not working.
Random re-boots during sleep.
Random runaway processes using all CPU, top of keyboard gets very hot, usually followed by a random re-boot.
Notifications swipes, sometime you swipe to dismiss a notification and it goes away other times it opens the application.
I'd not be recommending it to anyone until they have something that's approaching non-beta product status.
Not too worried about the battery, my original Note 2 still going strong almost 4 years on. Still little lag and not found too much that doesn't run. Off charge at 7am this morning and still 52% left at 8pm.
Updates, as in none from Samsung, however mean I'll never buy another Samsung shiny, it'll be direct to the OS manufacturer for me from now on http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/02/android_august_patch_bundle/
From wheel release candidate v0. 99 to 1.00.
New experimental multi-piston features with up to 64 supported pistons,replaces single piston support.
Audi indicator support added, arrow on dashboard flashes but external indicators do not.
BMW mode upgraded to sorry mate I didn't see you v2. 03.
Sales rep tailgate mode, distance reduced before auto braking from 3 foot to 6 inches.
An utter waste of the paper it was printed on.
More people will die from
a) The common cold
b) Stepping off the sidewalk
c) Being shot by their fellow Americans
d) Choking on a burger
Than will be saved by decrypting some terrorists phone/communications in the next 10 years.
I didn't see the 2ft high boulder in the middle of the street and smashed my car into it, now somebody else take the blame and pay for fixing my car already.
Holy Frack, if you can't see a boulder in the middle of the road, then what flipping chance do pedestrians and cyclists have.
Please post your car keys to I'm to stupid to drive, c/o Iwoz txting at the time.

Is for the government to take this in house as a Major Project, that way in 3 years time it'll have come to the attention of the NAO, who'll say it was poorly planned, poorly costed, lacked leadership and capability within senior management and will never deliver on budget or expected results.
Is higher frame rates not higher resolution, watching a recent movie in IMAX, some of the scenes were particularly jerky looking at the screened frame rate.
Don't get me wrong 4K will be great for pron, and whilst almost all panels this year will be 4k,most people are living with 1080p HD, and anyway where is the 4K content, not much around on terrestrial or Sky yet.
Paris because she'd look good in 4K.
is Grand Theft Star Wars, lets see a bit of the seedier side of the Star Wars universe, just imagine the amount of freeplay you could have on Coruscant or Mos Eisley.
Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 was the outstanding game of the time for me though, incredible sense of scale and height that had you feeling dizzy standing on the side of a ledge on Nar Shaddaa, awesome.
Mine's the one with a thermal detonator in the pocket.
This just isn't how encryption works. A legal request for data from a government would require some sort of shared key, else how would you decrypt the random bits.
Maybe the government going to have some sort of database which will hold all the keys for the population so that they can decrypt data as required, but how long until that database gets hacked, just think of the OPM raid.
Anyway that the 3 and 4 letter agencies think of getting there hands on our data, is unlikely to be the way that a terrorist communicates, they'll just roll their own encryption it's not hard to do, the maths is just a Google away.
Mine's the one with the PRNG stream in the pocket
Over here in Blighty our local "cities" can't fix the potholes, collect the "trash" more than once a month, provide social care for those less able to look after themselves, so why the fuck would I ask them to dig up the roads and provide better broadband than the stinking 2.5Mbs I get at the moment?
The Lebanese coder is right.
If we, that's us upstanding citizens, are forced to use weakened encryption that's breakable by Government level agencies, then how long does our data stay safe from little Timmy the script kiddie next door with a stolen credit card and access to AWS GPU instances?
It'll be all about the EE definition of a bad or annoying adverts.
And no, I'm sure EE won't inject their own or preferential partners adverts instead.
Bigger questions would be the legality of the ISP replacing legitimate adverts with white space, not gonna make a lot of website owners happy that's for sure.
When your ISP gets hacked (Talk Talk?) by some script kiddies in (insert random country) and all your browsing history ends up on PasteBin.
I'm sure the prospect of a 2 year stretch for "knowingly or recklessly obtaining communications data from a telecommunications operator without lawful authority" will put the wiilies up them.
But isn't it time for Google to step up and be responsible for it's OS and provide timely security updates ala Microsoft/Apple?
The handset makers can then just skin their flipping phones however they like and we'll be free to replace whatever crud launcher is default with our favourite safe in the knowledge updates will be coming down the wire.
Written on a 3 year old Note 2, that still works fine but will never get the Stagefright security updates, thanks Sammy /angry
