I've become a huge fan of these mini PCs. So far I've bought three of the AceMagic PCs at almost exactly the same time it was mentioned that they may be infected with malware. No worries, since by default I reinstalled the OS from scratch off a USB drive. (If there's lower-level malware, ok.)...

I'm glad the burn-in problem got a lot of comments. I knew beforehand that it might be a problem, and didn't use my 55" LG C7 OLED TV for anything other than TV and avoided static pictures. I also used pixel refresh, etc. So I thought. CNN's Breaking News caption is forever plastered on...

A fun thing is that NASA publishes relatively detailed 3D models on their website. Here's Perserverance: https://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/perseverance-glb It's not just a mesh, but in Blender fully actuated, textured, and a sample animation.

Anyone trusting Trump about anything needs to get their head examined.

I'll go on record saying this is the dumbest large acquisition Microsoft could make. A year or two from now teens will have switched to Beebo-chat by some other company. It's not like this is unique technology from what I can tell, and it's not liked LinkedIn where there's a heavily invested...

Yeah, this idea has no foundation. Even with its trillions of market cap they'd have no case.

Exactly.

I downloaded the current (uncompromised) Windows binary, and got the following: Double checking, of course none of the code is signed. Code signing isn't a panacea but it's a level of defense-in-depth that can also help other tools like SmartScreen and virus scanners do their job. I wouldn't...

I'm biased because around a year ago I spent way too much time banging my head on the desk trying to get to the root of the problem. Most of what Malwarebytes does is probably good or at least OK. Them trying to forcibly inject code into Edge using CreateRemoteThread or similar techniques and...

The whole remote is shockingly bad in virtually every way. It's tremendously frustrating to use, especially in the dark when you just want to pick it up and quickly pause/resume something. I can barely imagine what a game controller from the same team would look like...

Outlook has its issues, mainly around search, but it's a workhorse. Do these other clients have the same super-detailed rules and "Advanced View Settings" style customization?

Along with dilution and the fuzzy-trace theory, I wonder whether stating the longer list of side-effects leaves an impression of more thorough testing of the drug.

Ah, I navigated to a US version of the site that didn't show the Plus model: http://www3.lenovo.com/us/en/tablets/an ... areSection I stand corrected, and this looks like a promising new option! :bigdumbgrin:

Like the Fire HD 8, that one also only has a 1280x800 screen. I've had the Fire HD 8 for about 10 months and it's solid for what it is, but haven't used it much. I like that it's expandable, especially now that Netflix lets you download content. For Android my go-to tablet is the Fire HDX 8.9...

In the spirit of posting screencaps, here's one that prompted me to see if there was a recent thread here... The video was autoplay. :(

My personal opinion is that having 1st class hardware has made Microsoft pay more attention to the real world. As an example, laptops flat-lined for a decade or so at 1366x768 resolution with equally terrible everything. The Retina MacBook Pro jumpstarted the trend, but with the Surface line...

Actually, IE supported IDN as far back as IE7, and MSDN has a thorough write-up that discusses this exact issue. See the following from 2006, which is linked to from Chrome's recently updated design document mentioned above. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb250505(VS.85).aspx Also...

Speaking of the lock screen timeout, this should help: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-co ... -windows-8

I'm biased, but a couple thoughts. Regarding the maps app, having a fully offline vector based app is key. Nokia's Here maps were pretty good but it seems it got lost in the transition. On the upside, I've been carrying a variant of the 950 and iPhone 6s in my pocket for a while and my usage...
