Oh boy, midterm tests!
Random Fact: Radioshack seems to be by far one of the hardiest companies to exist, having been founded nearly 100 years ago, and going through multiple bankruptcies, and four corporate owners: Theodore and Milton Deutschmann, the two original founders, Tandy Corporation, a leather company that owns a branch on the same corner as my local thrift store and a laundromat, RadioShack Corp., a re-badged Tandy Corporation that split off from the original Tandy Corp., and finally, General Wireless, its current owner who had recently gone bankrupt after a deal with Sprint turned sour.

Geez, it's getting pretty windy here in Utah. I guess Fall's arrived.
Ever try running a full desktop Linux distro on a 3-year-old Android flagship? Don't. The Samsung Galaxy S5 can't handle Debian. I learned that after spending a day going through installers and figuring out what the heck went wrong every time it crashed. I've since restored the phone back to how it was before, since it is my personal phone and all. :P
No, I didn't factory reset the thing. I was using an app that used the internal Linux kernel of Android as a base for Debian to run off of. All I had to do was clear out some folders generated by Debian and my phone was back to how it originally was.
It'd be nice if the Radioshack that used to be across the freeway from my house was still open. Unfortunately, the closest one now is quite a bit further away than a short car trip.
