Does your phone works with normal headphones without any mobile remotes?

Yes. I normally just used some regular earbuds, but they also work with a pair of those big ones that have a little microphone dongle and a play/pause button, but it didn't seem like the button actually did anything, unlike they did with one of my older phones.
 
Can someone shorten this gif for me please. I want it to loop when he's making the funny face. I've tried but the free software i'm using won't let me make the gif any shorter.

I learned to use Photoshop about 10 years ago but in rusty and I feel like all that knowledge in my brain was deleted to make room for dad skills. I'd like to become proficient again-is there a decent YouTube series that isn't hosted by some annoying wanna be internet star?
 
NeoGAF shows date and time as follows:

MM DD YYYY 01:01 AM/PM

Is there a way to make it

DD MM YYYY + 24 hour clock?
 
How come am i still a junior

Was I permanently juniored? :(

Looking at your post history, there's two minutes between this post and your 300th one. I suppose the process takes several minutes to replace junior member with a regular member.

Not that you should care now, but just for future reference. ;)
 
Currently RE revelations 2 Episode 1 is free on Xbox One (download). If I play this and finish episode 1 and later on I buy the Physical copy, will my save transfer?
 
I just noticed that my passenger side taillight cover seems to be coming loose. I don't know if it was a result of being rear-ended a few years ago, as while after the repairs I thought the light looked a bit asymmetrical to the driver side one, it wasn't as bad as it is now. Now I can just completely see the plastic cover shearing off from the assembly and the glue that once held it together.

My question is: where is the best place to buy a replacement taillight assembly? I looked at Pepboys online, and they want around $50. I looked on ebay and there are various prices between $39-50. Some site that was at the top of the list when I searched Google for it (not a sponsored site, just the first result) had one in the low $30s. Is it worth trying to find one manufactured by Dodge or is an aftermarket one going to be good enough?

eBay is usually the best place to get parts, aftermarket is fine. You might just try to repair it yourself though. Take it out, see what's broken, throw some epoxy on it.

It's rather strange. Usually when something's falling apart like this, you figure you should just be able to easily push it back into its proper place, but there's something inside that's actually resisting my efforts to push it. I'm afraid if I try to fix it I'll just make it worse and I'll end up driving around with a missing taillight, which I'm sure police would frown upon.

Don't try to jam it back in, try to take it out completely. You really shouldn't have much trouble taking it out and inspecting it. Just use google to find directions. What likely happened is a tab or clip snapped off the back and it's not secured anymore. Happens in headlights a lot.
 
Got a ceiling-to-floor cat tree that is stabilized by a spring loaded pole pushing against a flat ceiling.

I wish to put my cat tree beneath a sloped cathedral ceiling.

I'm thinking a wedge might solve this issue, but I don't know where a good place to get wedges is. I'd like an adjustable wedge, that way I don't have to get an exact angle. Does anybody know where to find a good wedge? Or a better solution?

Also, is it possible to delete comments on Neogaf?
 
Guys I remember someone posted a video here on gaf a long time ago, of a country in africa where gays are being killed and there was even a politician who wanted the death penalty (or lifetime jail? idk) to gay people... and there was a reporter who went to that country and eventually interviewed this politician, I wanted to show this video to a friend... can anyone help me?
 
Got a car question--can somebody explain why this happened?

We had just parked the car after filling up, but when we went to turn it on again, it wouldn't start. I called AAA thinking it was a battery issue, but when I said the lights didn't dim, he had us put the ignition to the "on" position and then press on the brake while turning on the car. Of course that worked for whatever reason.

I've had this car for almost 10 years and have never had this happen. Did it get into some kind of locked state? What did we do wrong?
 
Why hasn't there been a movie similar to the blindside but about an affluent black family who rescue a white kid from a method addicted trailer park family?

I want to watch something like that...

If there is one already, what is it?
 
This is a bit of a complicated question, but hopefully someone here has done something similar. I ordered my father an AT&T Lumia 640 for Christmas to use mainly as a wifi device. I've learned that they are reasonably easy to unlock, so I was wondering if it was possible to take the SIM card out of his emergency flip phone that he almost never uses anyway and put it into the 640.

The flip phone is just my old T-Mobile prepaid phone, which he just puts a little bit of money into each year to keep current. It should only do voice and text, although you can do some sort of pseudo-browser thing that accesses your account information.

If I can do this, what would happen if he tries to use data while he's out of range of wifi? Would it just tell him there's no network available or would it try to siphon funds out of the remaining prepaid balance to pay for the mobile data?

It should qork just how you want, with only calling and texting working. I had an at&t nokia 550 on a dumbphone prepaid account, the Internet services never worked, I couldn't use the 500mb of data I had, but I never got charged when I tried to use it either.
 
Can anyone help me find a music video? It's from Pink (yeah, I know), was released between 2005-2010, and had her dancing around on stage at one of her concerts.
 
Who would I contact to make my door more insulated/less drafty, and maybe windows too (though I'd imagine that would be much more money)? Googling just leads me to a lot of do-it-yourself projects and I'm not sure if companies that specialize in insulation necessarily do doors.

Is there an interior design / furniture thread on gaf? I've tried googling, but searching for stuff on the site can be tough.
Not that I've seen, but I do use a lot of sub-reddits for that sort of topic. Here are some of the ones I use:
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but hopefully it's somewhat helpful.
 
What happened to all of the 1TB PS4 consoles? I was browsing amazon, gamestop.com, etc... and the only 1tb console still being sold that I see is the ugly black ops 3 console.
I remember that once sony switched to the newer systems they were 500gb only, but did sony really never go back to making 1tb consoles? Was that just a limited time thing?

To keep the price competitive, I'm pretty sure they're going to continue with a 500 GB model.

In my region it is still possible to purchase five different 1 TB bundles. Once these are sold out they will be replaced with the new PS4 model.
 
Anyone else just get this message? I found it a bit strange:

"NeoGAF is currently experiencing high traffic from your ip. Your connetion has been limit please try again in a few minutes."

Yea I just assume there was an issue and the system defaulted that to stopping people from constantly refreshing.
 
Stupid question here: I preordered three adult tickets to Star Wars The Force Awakens. Plans changed, as they often do, and I'm now taking my 7 year old niece to see the movie with me. Can I still use one of my adult tickets for her? It's at a Cinemark theater, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance.
 
so, I've seen people on GAF using the term hometown and life to compare tow things; like breats and butt or something like that. I think I first seen it in threads related to Dragon's Crown. but I have no idea why these 2 terms and how they came to be and it always bothers me. can anyone elaborate for me please?

It's from an interview with Kenichiro Takaki about Senran Kagura:

I can't imagine why not. Children tickets are cheaper, ao they are making more money off of you.
 
Help me out. I've heard some complaints + passive-aggressive comments + comments are being made behind my back about typing too loudly. :/ I type really quickly. I...don't know how to press the keys more softly. Any tips? Is there a different keyboard I can get?

Is it so that you can type softer if you really think about it? Normally I just hammer away, and I even have a mechanical keyboard. I have my own office, though. Perhaps you should get that? Anyway, what keyboard do you have? There are some that should be more quiet.

I don't think I can say what keyboard I have, since I work for the gov't. Sounds silly but it might be privileged info. The thing is I'm a very fast typist and when I try to type softer I type super slowly. For me, at least. :/ I used to have my own office and I'd still get comments often (with my door closed sometimes too). Now I have a cubicle (but at a better job).
 
How the hell do you switch the camera shoulder position in The Order? It's meant to be changed by pressing the touchpad but doing this does absolutely nothing, unless Photo mode is turned on in the options, when it does actually bring up Photo mode. Very odd.

Edit: Figured it out. having Photo mode off in the game's settings isn't enough, you need to make sure that Camera Bias setting (in the main menu options only !) is set to on too.
 
I was a bit of an idiot and gameshared with an asshole.

Anyway he is threatening to take his account back, I have his account set as my primary PS4. Anyway I see there is an option for him online to deactivate all consoles so I have taken my PS4 offline, if he uses that option I assume the next time I connect my PS4 to the internet I'll lose the games?
 
So my father asked me to install some really old program that he dug out of his bookshelf. It's called TurboCAD Designer, and according to the floppy disks included, it's for Windows 3.1 or 95. While I'm sure there must be compatibility settings to make it work (luckily it does actually have a CD-Rom included in the package) I wondered if there were any free programs out there that would serve the same purpose, but with more modern amenities. I noticed Sketchup doesn't seem to be affiliated with Google any longer, but is that a fairly robust CAD program for a home user who just wants to play around?
