Linux seems really quick so I don't think it is the hardware itself unless it is the hard drive. I'll run those other benchmarks. I got it mostly back to not too bad by the ccleaner registry cleaning, disk cleaning, uninstalling MSE, disabling windows defender, installing nod32, uninstalling...

So my wife has a HP DV6-2157US laptop. It was just shutting off. So I opened it and checked for dust and replaced the thermal compound between cpu and the heatsink. It doesn't shut off anymore. View of fan / heatsink View of CPU My first question is should I have replaced the thermal pad on...

Most carriers in US block tethering unless you've paid for it. So you need to root and use that app or similar.

Anyway I messed with it some more. The power profile already had the hard drive set to always on. I must have set that previously to try and resolve the issue when I had the samsung drives. I tried updating the bios and the chipset driver to the intel storage matrix one. But it happened...

I use keepass on my computer and phone. The small problem is keeping them in sync. I can't bring myself to store the kdbx file with all my password on dropbox. Also I can't trust all my passwords in the cloud, salted hashes or not.

Hmm I found this hotfix.

Read this today: https://blog.algolia.com/when-solid-state-drives-are-not-that-solid/ Not sure what to make of it. Seems there is some confirmation of an actual issue here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fstrim/+bug/1449005

I don't think I want to prevent it from going to sleep. I just want to ensure it wakes up as it should. I mean it is in use for a couple hours and then should sleep. The crashplan backups will take a while as well. But most of the time it is left on I'd expect it to be in a sleep state. I'm...

So you know those seagate drives? One appears to be dropping from the system. Rebooting fixes it. But because I put my programdata on that drive, it causes issues with loading my profile when that happens. So I can't login. This is like the 2nd or 3rd time it has happened. And reviewing the...

Thanks coug, merc and all. I see that Broadwell is the new thing. But Skylake is the next thing. Do we know when that will be available in laptops? I could wait till the end of the year probably. It's just my birthday soon so I was looking at what to get. [Edit] I see from reading coug's...

Just wanted to clarify, I'm planning to hook it up to my regular monitor for photo review/edit. So the high-res screen isn't a requirement. It is what I initially wanted but I think I'm still asking too much there. It would just be too expensive I think. So I'm looking for some processing...

So as I indicated in another thread my main desktop is quite old and the location means it isn't used much. So I'm considering a laptop. I was looking the at 15" retina macbook pro and the xps 15 with the high res display. Then I thought maybe just hook the laptop up to an external monitor as I...

Switched over when it was written up by lifehacker. No issues so far. Haven't quantified any speed increase but chrome feels less laggy.

I think I was wrong, I think it was restored from recovery partition. I disabled the touchscreen from device manager and no more problem. I updated it to 8.1. But a SFC /SCANNOW doesn't seem to complete without issues though.

As I said I think he wiped it with non-legit windows 8. So the product key is probably long gone. It looks like a fresh install with nothing on it.

Okay I think I've eliminated the digitizer itself as the problem. I opened the screen up and there was a connector with two parts. One was not connected. I put that back and still same problem. I removed both of them and still same problem. I tried to insulate the connector itself and still...

I couldn't get into safe mode on this thing except by rebooting it through windows that way (hold shift while clicking the power icon thing). F8 at boot didn't work. I'll take the screen apart and see if the digitizer is separate. Looks like you can order them separately online but that...

So I've been tasked with looking at this gateway NV570P laptop with a touchscreen that is going crazy. By going crazy I mean randomish touches all over and if the onscreen keyboard is brought up it types like crazy. Windows 8 ish. Looks like the nephew tried to reinstall windows but it has a...

Signatures are superfluous. I don't think we need to know what you're running or shooting with on every post. We can put that information in the profile.

Why get local numbers? Just port your numbers.

I mostly shoot my kids sports and other events. Dubbed the team photographer for a number of years now in baseball. Recently tried a bit of basketball (hello ISO 3200). Started with Soccer. I sometimes do party type situations - mostly I take pictures of the kids. I do occasionally do some...

As I own the D600, the faster cards make a noticeable difference. I have two faster cards that I usually use. When I fill them I have a pair of slower bigger cards. I hate using the slower cards.

Mostly I want the large high res screen. The surface pro is nice but small.

Wow almost 8 years now with this system. Still low usage mostly for finances / photo work. I wonder if it will support windows 10. Upgrade plans are something like a surface pro 3 or one of those high resolution apple laptops. Someday. Something else always seems to take the free cash.

They probably want to sell you the install services which is why there is no documentation.

I don't know about the S5 but the note4 battery life is great. I mean like not even 50% by the end of the day. Though I'm a light user. Quick charger is also a real plus.

I think the S5 is your safe bet. I have the note 4.

And I have 3 of those seagate 3TB drives....

And available as a linux version iirc.

I tried the nexus 7, it was too small for me and I returned it. The refurbished samsung galaxy note 10 2014 edition I bought has been good. I did drop it once and then the screen started to go out. backlight issue. I took it to various places and they wouldn't touch it. Finally I just ordered...

Linux Mint is free....

This is not the best movie I've seen.... and it was a made for TV lifetime movie but it was entertaining in a cheesy way. Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever Rotten Tomato

Hmm, how about just my background as I love it.

Awesome work.

I'm considering the LG G3 myself. Competition is GS5 and M8. M8 camera puts me off. GS5 seems pricey for what it is. Won't be doing anything till the new iphone is released though. My wife might want to stick with the iphone. Of all the reasons to get the G3, the screen isn't high on my list...

Does the phone get warm when using GPS with the screen on?

I did end up swapping out the P160. Mostly because of the power button issue that caused weird power problems. Eventually the switch failed altogether. I forget what case it was but whatever was cheapish at microcenter. Put a new antec power supply in there too to rule out any power supply...

It didn't seem to work on the kindle fire.

I saw the xmen, it was good not great. It is really hard to make time travel impressive. The very existence of it in a plot makes it harder to suspend disbelief.

Don't give in to the depression. It fucks with your head. You think totally irrational stuff and think they sound rational. Focus on the positives/hopes/dreams/others.

I'm concerned about Sam/Merc. Does anybody have contact information for him other than an e-mail address?

Yeah the non subsidized phone thing was played by tmo as a benefit. But when you figure cost of the phone and plan, you're not saving any money, it is actually more per month. I think they are just finding a new way to get us to pay more money for the same thing and like it. And I think the...

No experience personally but you can follow it in the xda forums. I kind of do which is why I know its been rooted and they've gained soff already. A bunch of people who have my current phone the ltevo upgraded to the M8. I'm personally probably going to pass on it due to the camera actually...

I may regret asking but why do you have a projector in your bathroom?

Saw captain america this weekend. The whole time I'm thinking why isn't he calling the avengers. It was a good movie but the isolation to the captain america world was disconcerting. I also saw the Grand Budapest Hotel. The theater was full of older people. Seriously like an aarp convention...

The list has been freeze framed since the trailer with it was released. It apparently changes with country the film is destined for. http://io9.com/captain-americas-catch-up-list-is-different-in-differe-1555534018

I bought a refurbished samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition from the woot sale Wednesday. I'll have it next Wednesday. It was about $370 after taxes and shipping. 16GB version. If others are looking for something like this groupon has it still on sale.

Lunar, did you ever make it for the operation?

I use IE only on internal sites for work. And an older version at that due to compatibility. Chrome for literally everything else. Chrome with abp isn't immune to malware. As my nephew proved. But for most people who aren't installing random crap it does help a lot.

We have a fireplace yes. But we rarely use it. And thus have no stock of firewood that would have lasted 5 days. We retreated to in-laws who had heat.
