Broken Devices

I currently have 4 broken devices with me. The SkyPad 8” tablet that came with the Globe Tattoo subcription has a broken screen it is functional with a mouse or keyboard but generally not useable as a tablet. Mhae’s iPhone 4s, which was formerly my ate’s, has a broken wifi chip and it seems that the battery has given up. Mhae’s temporary Blackberry curve from the Netherlands is also here although it simply needs a battery replacement. KR’s then Bonbon’s Starmobile phone is also with me, unable to start, waiting to be brought to its service center since it is still under warranty.

These are repairable, but we seem to have no time and spare budget to get them repaired. We’ve since replaced the iPhone with a midrange LG Magna which is definitely a good deal at less than 5,000 pesos. It’s still certainly not a flagship phone.

Then my videocard gave up. I didn’t see that coming. I didn’t even think it was possible that after more than a year of not gaming on my main home PC, my Radeon HD 6950 1GB gave up. I miss its silence as the HD 5670 DDR3 I have installed as a temporary replacement has and audible fan. Yes, temporary. I’m eyeing an R9-380 by early next year.

I have yet to bring my Z1 compact for its headphone jack repair but thankfully my SBH70 is getting the job done right and well.

Apparently I posted my last month’s log to my other blog. Well that, I’ve fixed.

On non-broken stuff, “TV” season has started and my watching schedule is as below:

Monday	Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans
Tuesday	Supergirl
	The Big Bang Theory
Wednesday	Agents Of Shield
Thursday	The Flash
Friday	Arrow

Too bad I can’t get either TBBT or Supergirl on Monday so I have a consistent 1 hour per weeknight for these shows.

Also, we finally got the 4 i7-4790k-based desktops at the office, one awesome samsung monitor, and an additional license of Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium. We’re just waiting for the hopefully useable Mini-ITX systems.
