Thanks for the link. I just ordered Sennheiser Urbanite XL Over-Ear Headphones - Black Sold by: Amazon.com Services, Inc $69.95 I had a premium set of Sennheiser over ear headphones from 1975 until 1985. They got lost in the Hawaii move. Hoping the above will do the job for a reasonable...

I've got two pairs of the Motorola S305. I bought my first ones about 20 years ago, and the battery is amazing, still going strong. Covers fell off the ears, so bought another pair. GREAT value. Not overly loud, but adequate most of the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAnuk9rjZNM

Been wondering what the onboard sound of my computer is capable of driving. In other words, what is the point of wasting money on headphones when the sound quality off the motherboard onboard sound is too poor for the headphones to do much with? Just ordered these: Sennheiser Urbanite XL...

Went with Xfinity and their Verizon networked 45 dollar unlimited plan. Only problem is they limit the phones to .6 mbps when used as a hotspot. I get to watch a lot of stuff on my phone, instead of my TV. Still, for a bit down, and 30 a month, the Samsung 9s Plus is a great phone, and worked...

Thanks for the heads up.Looking for a larger screen, 17.3" , 1080p. Mainly used to stream video from Xfinity X1 DVR. Oddly, the laptop works, but the desktop doesn't on the wifi hotspot near this house. Might be the wifi capability on the desktop, or Xfinity might have blocked the desktop.

This is the model I ended up with, after going through 5 of them. Two USB C ports to charge through, not a POJ proprietary tiny bayonet, into a flimsy housing. https://www.cnet.com/products/acer-chromebook-15-2017/review/

Apparently uses a small form factor M2,with no active cooling. Tried to find an upgrade, but for the model I have, no joy. Resigned to staying with 32 gig, with the OS and stuff taking about half. Additional storage is on a 64 gig card, that I don't ever use, so I'm putting that back in my...

300. dollars for service every 5 years. Watch was in an estate. Guy never wore it. Wore a fake Rolex, when he had a real one. Almost perfect condition, but did replace the crown, with an original issue from Seiko.

Yes. Says SSD, not very well described in any documentation I've found...

Learning a Chromebook. Good stuff. Learned to disable the pad while typing with keystrokes. Learning more and more as I go.... Pretty amazing how fast this the Chromebook is with a SSD and an anemic processor.

Waiting for a price drop... Hasn't happened yet...

Plans changed. Staying with X4.

Seems someone at GoogleFi listened. They put a cap on data charges, limiting my bill to 62.00 a month. After 15 gigs, it slows down, ala Tmobile. The maximum GoogleFi will now charge for is 6 GB of data, or 60.00. The first bill is weird, since the entire bill is 62.00. See if that continues in...

Talk about being behind just found out that there were two more Hobbit movies and 2013-14 I haven't seen Black Panther Marvel movies I'm always interested in

Just saw the new Jedi Star Wars movie not bad I enjoyed it except for Carrie Fisher died

Currently using this: Acer - 15.6" Touch-Screen Chromebook - Intel Pentium - 4GB Memory - 32GB EMMC Flash Memory - Pure Silver I like the price, 299. the screen, it's fast, and I'm slowly but surely turning control of my life, and my typing over to Google. Plays Xfinity video, pretty much does...

That much data moving does the GPU become the bottleneck? There doesn't seem to be a standard way of stating what the interface is. there's a bunch of them that have pcie listed as the interface and others are pcie nvme. Others just listed as SSD with no interface listed.

Has anyone run speed test on the SSD pcie nvme hard drives on any of the laptops?

Which current laptops offer the new NVME SSD interface? Lenovo Y 920 for one...

+1

Any progress on getting this into desktops or laptops

Thanks B thanks the XPS screen at 13in is too small for these old eyes.Lenovo looks good features except for no optical drive and pricing to be right about right.

So, it finally died. Keyboard is gone, hard drive, though replaceable, is clicking, and starts sometimes. GPU is too slow to play Xfinity streaming service, etc. Not worth fixing, or trying to upgrade. So: Been looking at Panasonics, but, they are again almost all 1000 dollars for what I'm...

Went with Moto Android One, X4. 325.00, 150.00 credit from google for returning Nexus 5X. 175.00 for an enterprise phone. Only bad is 7.1.1 no Oreo yet. Staying with Fi. Support is worth the cost.

Seems to be a bit easier to find stuff then 7. Some stuff is embedded, deeper, and many pull down menus forward. So far, so good. No irrational stuff on my end...

TMobile One is 70.00, and supposed to be all included. However, the 'unlimited' isn't, since over a certain level, you are throttled. I used 6 gigs this month, total Fi bill, 80.00. Prior, when I'm working other jobs, the bill has been 30-40 dollars. Thinking stay with Fi, and live with it...

Hi I have an aging Nexus 5X that I use for Uber, Lyft, and GPS apps. I'm looking for something faster and more reliable. I have been looking at the Android One Moto X4,400, and considering a Pixel 2,650. Those are the only phones I have considered, due to Google Fi limitations. Google Fi, so...

Oddly, supermicro's did have drivers... To be honest, when the new OS came out, we built a new computer, with a new OS, and ditched the old back planes, due to lack or drivers, bad fans, etc. It's easier to have 3 or more drive bays,with replaceable drive bays, in the front, then a 5 drive bay...

OK. I get the new Lenovo's suck. Anyone happy with any version? I'm looking to in theory, replace some very old Panasonic CF 51's. However, what I want is absurdly expensive. Would like an suggestion for a decent laptop.

Think Euro country....;-)

I was hoping to use this for such things as bank connections, etc. Doesn't work...

Seems Ting is matching prices for data with google fi, but not with text or calls... 10 bucks, one gig.

Another test: closer server: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/6078948824

NordVPN: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/6078929250 Cheap, but really sucks speed wise. Astrill was twice the cost, but about 8 or 9 times faster.

Security, downloads, etc.

My problem with my SM backplane was driver support, and inadequate, quite, fan solutions for the box.

Astrill: High cost. Weird billing company. VERY fast, near 120 mb/sec. Great software. NordVPN:Sucky software. Half cost of Astrill, for 1/10 the speed, or less. Terrible software. So far, no weird billing.

Hi Which, why, cost,speed, reviews?

Seems the Android updates have solved the battery problem. Still giving GSam a try...

Or this: Cheaper: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129100 opinions? Anyone used one, or the other?

This maybe what I'm after: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112469

Having problems with Nexus 5X battery. I start work at 7am, and go all day, sometimes till 10 at night. Program I have to use to enter scores seems to eat battery life, and need some sort of recharge around 7pm. Runs on chrome.

Nexus 5X updated to 7.1.1 yesterday. Don't see any difference from 7.0. More later.

Klipsch has a set. Haven't tried em. 150-200.

Ideal would be a case with the front panel 10-12 5.25 inch drive bays, though that would be overkill.

Hi While I don't use them often, I like 5.25 inch, hot swap front drive bays. found this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129100 and appears to be an answer.
