Galaxy ace have ROMs too? 😲
Ha ha that waterproof thing. The best in the phone. I used to clean my phone at tap, and my friends got panic.. My best phone ever. And that red lens green lens discussion on xda... I flashed the wrong rom what to do questions... 😝
What giveaway he promised you for this ?
oh yes... i used to dip it in water glass to win a bet often
i wish something as innovative would come these days... and yes... red lens was actually a defy plus with some things disabled from the chipset... flashing red lens roms would enable HD recordings and unlocked the camera... good o'l days...
I was wondering why there are no more deals for dc1-LA for vps/shared? (aon center, i suppose)
Ha ha. good old days indeed. Flashing was so much fun. Now with GBs and GBs of important data, can't even thinking of flashing..
That defy was the best phone I ever had. I got a lg g8x last year. I tried that waterproof adventure thing on this phone, and my power button didn't work for 3 days. 😝
I love it @Andrews -- slick slick slick!
Roflmao...
Yes... Gbs of important data... Back then SD cards ruled the world... All important mp3 songs/photos and what not on it...
Crashed the phone? Put the card in the new phone and enjoy!
I got a redmi k20 pro in 2019 august. It has to be the first time i have bought a flagship and honestly, the benefits clearly outrun the costs. Its a decent phone and i think it can help me with one more year at the very least.
Or till @dustinc plans to give away an iphone 13 max pro
Ha ha. You won't leave @dustinc until he gives you something..
K20 is good device. I used Poco F1 before getting this G8X. F1 is such a wonderful developer friendly device. Flashed lots of ROMs intlo. No worry about bricking. These phones are real flagship killers.
Hi @bakageta -- great catch! I can be a bit unique when it comes to overkill 😂 A lot of the build is overkill for what I'm doing, including the RAM. I could get away with 32GB and be more than fine. I did tone down the build on the home PC, including the PSU but even then the build is overkill.
The only reason why I went with the 5950X at home was because the 5900X were out of stock with my vendor and there was no particular ETA. The hardware market has been crazy. I most recently bought my brother his gaming PC and just to get everything for the build was ~ 1 month which is insane, but it's the reality of the market today.
Todays free game is Mages of Mystralia.
Grab it if interested guys...

Hahahha, while they do fail, it's so rare. Great finessing!
And here I'm who always runs out of RAM....
Let's go! I do enjoy sales, It's treated me well in my career - most people believe sales is a bad gig, but they're already salespeople themselves
I think a ryzen flash sale is in order now.
like a dope ass sale
This is the definition of a good guy! Love seeing this man, especially within this community. We need more people like you. Helping and giving are awesome things to do.
Awesome! I feel like if you're up for it, you would be an asset to LEB (writing tutorials) on gigs like this. You would simply reach out to the team, and contribute any articles of your choice, and there's a high chance they'll feature it.
I know I would engage and happily read!
@godslayer naughty naughty!
Let's gooo! Now that's a deal!
We hope that you enjoy our services.
Indeed, the conversations have been awesome. I enjoy learning and surrounding myself with people like this within the community.
I detect a challenge! Let's gooo!

I was able to catch some zzzz's
Refreshed, and almost on the way to the office.
Sometimes it seems that way 🤣
We did discontinue our VPS offerings in DC-01 -- we moved away from SATA and all new offerings are either SSD or NVMe. We have about ~30 nodes remaining that are still SATA, which is an accomplishment from what we originally did have as SATA. Our focus has been upgrading customers to our pure SSD product line at no additional cost.
LAX-DC02 has been a fan favorite, especially for users in China. Connectivity while it isn't perfect for the entire region, it's a great performing network for many with the region. So we often see positive feedback regarding the performance on both the hardware and network. LAX-DC-02 is the AON Center building in DTLA, what a nice building by the way.
DC-01 is still alive, and mostly bare metal at this point. This facility is LA2 (Coresite Alameda).
Hahaha! Count me in, let's upgrade some of your RAM.
Let me know what's needed.
wow... Thats soooo nice of you @dustinc . Thnak you. You are real Santa..
Yes k20 was supposed to be a successor to f1. I actually ordered and cancelled the F1. K20 was overpriced, but i still bit the bullet. It was the flagship xiaomi phone.
I have been very lucky with mi phones, they are definitely built to last. I had redmi 1s, the first phone to launch in our country. It still powered up and worked after 7 years :-l .
I do itch for an upgrade sometimes, but its more like based out of greed than necessity. So i defer it for a year, not much has actually changed in the tehnology landscape except faster charging and higher refresh rate.
And i wont leave dustinc till he gives me all the goodies 👿👿👿
True. These are great phones. I bought the F1 when they launched the red color. It felt awesome. As the warranty doesn't void even if we unlock bootloader, I unlocked the phone on 3rd day itself. Flashed a xiaomi EU ROM. These EU roms are better than normal ROMs, without mi ads and bloatware.
I waited long for them to launch F2, but they didn't. So I bought G8X. (for almost same price as Poco F1, on flipkart bigbillion sale) Dual Screen pulled me. But never used the dual screen extension till now, apart from experimenting few hours. This is a good phone, but no developer support. No ROMs nothing. There are some experiments in xda, but I didn't take risk.
Thats true. The processors and RAM reached a point, where we don't see the difference anymore in performance, except in benchmarking.
Camera is the only thing, that keeps improving and noticeable. I love photography, so I play a lot with camera. Always wanted to buy a decent DSLR (not entry level). But don't have budget for it. So I check the cam reviews first, whenever I buy some mobile. 😎
Maybe we can ask @dustinc For a DSLR giveaway?
Cmon @dustinc you now have the ideas for giveaways?? Fill us up!
