The Nexus 7 seems to be sluggish but usable until Chrome is launched. The play store also causes issues
Managed to restart the Nexus 7. The typing experience is reminiscent of a 1200 baud terminal. There has to be something misbehaving to cauae this because Android cannot suck this much on a former flagship device. Or there's a check box in the configuration I am missing. One simply labeled "Don't suck"
@indigo The scariest electrical job I have ever seen was in the home of a childhood friend. His house was built in the mid 1800s so being wired for electricity was an after the fact.
I was helping his he and his father remodel the living room. While tearing out a wall, we noticed the plaster was black in spots. It was burnt.
Because the entire house was wired by running cloth insulated lamp cord and plastering over it.
How that house managed to not burn down is a mystery.

@larand Oh man. I need to see where it is and where it might hit. They mean massive service headaches for me as I have customers all through Louisiana, the gulf coast and Florida.
@skematica
Doing an entire disto really brought dependency hell home for me. I'd listen to someone at the LUG go on about how Microsoft was inferior because of DLL hell and think, "Perform a major digit upgrade of Python on anything RedHat based and get back with me. Oh, you'll have to use rpm itself and the --nodeps --force switches. Good luck ever using a system administration or configuration tool again."

@skematica When gentoo came out my only thought was GOD NO. A bunch of people blindly feeding compiler flags and switches they don't even understand to gcc and getting an OS who will then think they are system engineers and programmers. This will be both sad and entertaining to follow. The forums were a riot
@matigo I can only imagine how twisted the logic can get trying to support all of this stuff.

@matigo Users just don't get it do they? I swear. Makes me want to give them what they want but remove the indices.
