Most of the smartphones have poor sound quality since there is very little space dedicated to the speaker. Only the camera or two are important.

Not much anymore. :( I read this week that the old Windows help was being removed. :mad:

Is anyone having issues with the Coratana after the April updates? Apparently it locks up the machine. :(

I think it is still there but the best we can do. I disabled the camera and mics in the BIOS. I hope the Coratana cannot override it.

My concern is how will all the autononymous cars work with the more complicated situations. Half the roads have crappy lane lines illegible in the rain. There is no instruction manual in rental cars nowadays. There should be time to read with all Canadians in the toilets.

The autononymous cruising and braking in the rental car doesn't work right on the curves. :(

I'm interested in the glass function as some hotels have that. I have a basic Logitech BT that works ok, but is quite flat and feels cheap. I wish it were more like the 325.

What are the thoughts on the MX Anywhere 2S?

How to I get remove Cortana completely and where is the ****ing Control Panel? It's like the Windows 10 was developed by a mental case and/or a cell phone user. Most of the "apps" don't want to be to uninstalled. :mad:

It's like those old Netbooks, but designed for the Google to control everything. :(

So it has an x86 CPU, but doesn't have Windows 10?

I was able to obtain the Crucial Ballistix RAM more readily than the more basic Crucial. It works just fine despite the stupid-looking decal that is a picture of a heat sink. The laptop BIOS doesn't show any options for voltage, timings, etc.

I imaged the parturition via Macrium, but on the new drive the BitLocker causes issues with partition utilities when reducing the size. Apparently the original was corrupted somehow and when I attempt repair it is messed up. I guess it is time for the DVD.

I cannot get any charging on USB-C. :(

Fortunately I missed it. :lol:

The 860 EVO was only out a few months ago, so I doubt it. ;)

The laptop has only 52WHr and I suspect it would not operate at full power on batteries. The laptop would always be on AC unless the generator is off. Anyway, I don't want excessive heat in the laptop enclosure.

Haha. :D

Do you think the flash is similar to the 860 EVO, but the NVMe reveals the bottlenecks otherwise hidden by SATA?

Yes, those. I should have posted.

It is bring your offspring to work day. They are running aground all over the place.

Yes, but that did not work. I was able to use it on the older computer, the Devil Canyon. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but not a 1980s interface. :o

It is the Haswell E system.

Of course two weeks after I got the 2TB 860 EVO, the 970 EVO is announced at 2TB. :( Unfortunately there is no 2TB 970 Pro, which dashes any hope there would be a 4TB version. I suppose the 2TB 960 Pro was not popular.

I have Verizon as the home ISP and am unable to download from an EarthLink account. I checked the settings and their website for the ports, etc. Nothing has changed. I tried a second computer with the same results. It's ridiculous. Of course my concern is what if they decide I'm not allowed...

On Verizon I can download Fastmail and still Verizon (now AOL) in Outlook, but as of 1-2 months ago the incoming Earthlinks are not received. :(

Why would this be happening with one email and not another? Does the Verizon just decide at random? I know the email still works on the phone.

I made a bootable USB and tried it on the desktop system. Unfortunately the CloneZilla hangs on the orange and white screen after selecting display resolution. :(

Usually I take two of those internationally. Once I took only one 100-400 II, but also a 200-400/4 and 500/4.

I thought Farley was dead years ago. :scratch:

The stupid internet service is not allowing email. :cursin:

The order was re-placed now with May shipping. I'm not sure about the USB power since multiple voltages are available. Does the USB-C port need 19V to charge?

It only has 82WHr of batteries, so obviously the 180W is for the CPU/GPU. 65W is about right for charging. Why is the resolution so low for 15.6' display? Is it for the gamers' vision?

It's just a spec sheet without images. Maybe my bowser is not up to par.

Yes, we are doomed by Uncle Bob, etc. I will probably be completely dead by the time there are no cameras that accept 500mm lenses.

I suppose nobody remembers those dancing magnetic domains anymore. :(

WD 14TB CMR WTF is CMR and how does it differ from PMR? Obviously it does not suffer from the dreaded shingles.

Forget the airplane, who wants to haul that big honking adapter around the rest of the time? I'm surprised it can't work off of a 90W adapter. Meanwhile I'm hoping to charge the little KABY Lake R with a 30-40W USB-C charger if needed. The 65W charger is bit bulky to carry.

Well, it is only a 27' CG with internal hardware calibrator, not the 4K. It is well beyond the capacity of my eyeballs to see each pixel of the 4096x2160 31.1 display over a large area, not to mention being $6000.

Maybe it will only cost $5000-7000, unless the optics are mediocre like the 200-500. However, the crappier the optics the less people will pay. In any case, f/5.6 seriously limits use in low light and with teleconverters. Pros would prefer the f/4 and most everyone else would be fine with a...

I meant that reply for SD. Anyway this has moved to tax policy rather than the return process.

Will it really be that much lighter than a 500/4?

Nobody is forging you to use the HR Blocks. Nobody forces you to use a lawyer to defend yourself or an auto mechanic to fix a Nissan either.

Taxes are far less complicated and problematic than computers and IT systems.

Sure they have phones, but no email.

Well, crap. I moved all the known emails to that after the Verizon went out business. :(

Fastmail has created a massive hassle. :( Apparently that is considered a dodgy domain.

I've been playing around with the 2TB M.2 860 EVO. I'm pretty impressed so far after a few TB written. It doesn't slow down after extended writes like the old 850 EVO. The chips are warm but not hot. I need an adapter to use in a PSD and will try that later.

It is a matte screen Eizo ColorEdge. They provide a small bottle of cleaner and cloth, but not much info.
