Yes, why do you ask?

That's okay I just realized the glaring typo in the thread title. It was supposed to ask why we didn't have one already.

Desktop? Isn't it called the home screen? :razz:

How is there not a widget thread? :scratch: So, what are some of your favorite widgets that you're using on your Android devices? I'd start, but I've only got a few hours of Android experience under my belt and I'm still exploring the wonderful world of widgets.

I'm sure that's very much true. I'd love a large desktop monitor with 300ppi though. :mrgrn:

31.5" for 4k doesn't have quite the same charm after playing with 7" of 1920x1200.

Copywhat? :bomb:

After about 18 months is this still your preferred solution multiplatform IM solution? (presumably for Android)

Another factor is that more and more of the "track" gets paved over time.

I don't think that's likely the cause (out gassing). UV exposure has probably damaged the clear coat causing it to peel.

You don't have to remove the old paint. You just need to sand it pretty smooth to promote adhesion and remove any loose / flaking chunks of clear coat / paint. Given the state of paint you're describing plasti-dip probably isn't the right product. I'd suggest looking at this. There are lots...

I decided to dip my foot into the world of tablets and Android with a 32GB Nexus 7 (2013). I don't know what I'm going to use it for, but I'm pretty sure I can find something.

SuperSSpeed S301 Hyper Gold is the only one I know of.

Not that I'm aware of. AFAIK, you can't refresh the charge level in a cell. You can only write an erased cell. So, you could copy something to RAM, erase the flash, and write it back, but that would also induce wear. Very good SLC flash can have 20+ years of retention even after it's been...

Not exactly. A flash cell is a very tricky animal. It's a very analog process. It stores charge and the charge slowly leaks out. As the charge leaks, the voltage of the cell drops and eventually you can't tell a one charge level from another. The charge always leaks. It's just a matter of...

In terms of read write cycles and data retention, it's not as good as SLC. TLC takes it a step further into la-la land. Where reliability / durability matters, like in an car's engine controller, body computer, cluster, etc in a car it's all SLC flash. That's not a coincidence.

As if MLC wasn't bad enough.

Nuke it from orbit just to be safe.

They work fine for that too.

You don't get a 3.9gHz with all the cores loaded you get 3.7gHz.

Yes, I'm aware of it. I noticed it never made it to production. I also wouldn't consider a prototype car made in the 1960's to be representative of a typical modern car.

Why not? It wasn't very useful on Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge.

I'm sure Merc will be along shortly to comment on this.

Prior non K CPUs of Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge allowed you to change the multiplier up to 4 steps higher. That means you could take a 3.0gHz chip to 3.4gHz. With Haswell, Intel got rid of that.

Uh... Good luck with that. If you want to overclock you buy a K chip.

What? You want to be able to have your cake and eat it to?

Really? You can fit a gas turbine under the hood of a typical car?

Maybe I'm missing something. Fuel economy is a function of the amount of fuel burnt. In general a 400HP V8 will burn the same amount of fuel as a 400HP I4 with a turbo when they're both making 400HP. The C7 Corvette gets between 28 and 30MPG highway depending on the mode of the car. Last time...

And it still works fine.

Change the multiplier. Why are you screwing with the base clock?

Who cares about internal displacement of the engine? Lets look at power vs. engine weight and power vs. engine size.

The modern pushrod engine dates back to 1949. The overhead cam dates back to before World War I. Further, the power to weight and power to size ratio of the modern GM pushrod V-8 is pretty much unrivaled.

Its for fuel economy, not emissions.

Two words: CAFE standards

And those are where?

Yes, the C7 Corvette and S8 are definitely in the same class. :rotfl:

Surface Pro potentially gets interesting with Haswell's power savings. With the current HW I don't see it.

Are you looking to burn discs or play movies?

Yes, Happy Independence Day.

How are the shares restricted? Is it possible your 3rd party shells need to be running as administrator?

I love fireworks. I've been setting a few off here and there, but generally not after 10pm.

I'm guessing they fail from surges, but maybe I'm reading into his comment incorrectly.

:erm: Sometimes when you're in a hole it's best to just stop digging. :rofl:

I don't.

Ditto. It was hot with lots of rain, but it's cooled down to the 70's.

Nah, it's pork. Honest!

And that's a problem why? What program as you using that can take advantage of all that RAM?

It ended up costing ~$294 after a $30 coupon I printed from the internet at a local Midas. My comprehensive deductible is $250 so there's no point trying to give my insurance company a reason to raise my rates for $44.

I spoke too soon. It locked up before I went to bed. I made some minor tweaks and ran it overnight without issue. I'm going to run it all day today and see what happens.

It will probably be a wash when it costs about the same amount as the deductible.
