Xperience and Red Team Resurgence

I did have a lot to blog about but I got to procrastinate a bit more this month. Two things are highlighted, though.

Xperia

As my Z1 Compact failed late last month, I was bound to get a temporary replacement until a new xperia compact gets released later this year (hopefully). I got myself an Xperia XA1 and a new SBH70 bluetooth headset. I’d also like to mention that I got Mhae a much less expensive wireless headphones—Soundbytes HBS-800. The transistion between phones was not the smoothest because of the proble with the Z1 Compact. Amazinly, I found out that it was in one of the non-default apps and I got to get the phone running as I wanted after a good number backup and restore schemes. i should detail this someday for reference.

AMD

Of the geek stuff I follow, AMD releases probably got the most completion before this month ended—others being Transformers, James Bond, comic book shows and movies. Kinda sucks, though, how the new Ryzen 7 pc at work got pulled out for service due to a faulty power supply. As for my Ryzen 5, I hope it keeps running this well. Anyways, props to AMD for their Ryzen 3, RX Vega, and Ryzen Threadripper releases/unveilings/announcements.
