Games work in neither of my laptops, unfortunately. Regardless of what settings I have on them, they always seem to lag. Well, I guess some do work, actually, but not the ones I'd possibly be interested in. :(

Wireless hard disk drives?
Do you mean network-attached storage? They can be accessed over the network. (I prefer directly-connected external HDDs, if only because they're very speedy, and can be accessed with standard backup utilities.) |
My high school utilized NAT for the non-default student accounts and staff accounts inside their domain. Teachers had to be wired up to the network to access and sync their files between computers, and same with individual student logins as well.

NAS = network-attached storage, which I've just described.. Synching files between computers can be achieved using various methods, and may involve none of the above ;) |
Whoops, I fumbled on the terminology there XD
All I can remember is that one time, one of my teachers from high school logged into the presentation computer in the classroom (the one that's hooked up to the projector), and it wasn't connected to the network (because you had to run a wire across the floor). The teacher tried accessing their My Documents folder, but couldn't, so that's how I figured out that the teacher accounts used network attached storage. |

Not having to use usb and drag and drop all my projects from laptop to drive, drive to pc, pc to drive etc etc is my main reason. But I don't think there are many on the market at the moment. But using an NAS would mean it's not as portable as I'd like (I have to travel a lot). Welp, you can't win them all. |
Did I ever tell y'all about my old laptop's battery going bad? Well I had to boot it up yesterday to retrieve a file off of it, and I watched it go from 12% to 100% lmao
I just hope that my new laptop's battery doesn't wind up like that soon |

Sometimes I wish my phone had a notification for when it goes into battery saver mode, that way I'd at least know to charge it.

Oh, it does then? I've had it die on me without a notification in the past, but maybe because I just had it on vibrate only at the same time. Other than that, I think I saw it sitting at 20% last night when I caught it in Battery Saver mode. I don't charge it every night just to exercise the battery.
|
Thing is, you probably shouldn't worry about exercising the battery during normal use for a modern lithium-ion battery. Just use it without worrying too much about its state. Your battery and your sanity will thank you for it.
|
Speaking of phone batteries, sometimes, mine would just randomly overheat itself and lose charge completely. Used to think that Skype was the cause of it, but I no longer have it installed on my phone, though, and the issue keeps popping up again every once in a while. :( Should probably consider getting this battery replaced.
|
That reminds me, but somehow my mother's PS4's battery also seems to have expanded past its contraption and doesn't fit into the console anymore :p she's looking to replace it sometime in the future though.
Onto another topic, though: does anyone have any LCD devices with dead pixels? My mother's Nintendo DS (that I am currently borrowing for the GBA part of it) has several dead pixels. |
If I recall correctly, my GBA SP have around 3 black pixels in the screen, but I haven't used it as much nowadays.
|
None of the devices I currently on have any dead pixels.
I think I probably should get the laptop serviced anyway once I get back. The rubber sealing around the screen bezel edge and the top lid edge managed to come off. |
Ugh, found out this morning that my iHome no longer wishes to charge either of my iPods -.- it will still time-sync between the devices and play music off of them, just not charge them

Tried rebooting all involved devices? |
For one, it's happening on all of my iPods, and my parents' iPhone 4s (not 4Ss) as well, so I doubt it's the devices. It has to be the dock jack, I'm sure.

Malwarebytes V2 has officially been released sporting a new UI, and a few other features. In-app update will be released next week, or you can download the installer and install it on top of your current installtion(it's new path gets rid of the ' from the previous folder, and it will move all the settings over to the new folder, and remove the old folder).
Something else to note; it's now a subscription module, but previous users who have the lifetime license will get to keep their lifetime. |

I like how my Samsung Galaxy Reverb (SPH-M950) is oddly resilient with those sorts of things. My father, being an overall lunatic, stomped on it with his boot and it almost stopped holding a charge (not to mention a huge crack in the screen), but it's been fine as of recent. And the screen's not got one of those cutting cracks, so it's safe to roll over with your finger. ;) |
Apple makes durable laptops. I once accidentally sat on a classmate's MacBook Air while sitting on a chair because everyone forgot about the laptop in a group outing.
Phones, not so much. :3 |
