Office 2010 on the Core 2 Duos. 2016 on the i5s and on any newly setup laptops. Basically using 2010 on our older refreshes until our license keys run out as well as to keep from being deluged with interface issues people have on 2016, especially since we in IT only started using 2016 ourselves back in January/February.

We've generally been averse to moving to it, ourselves, with us already having all this internal infrastructure for our email and file shares. |

Also, while 100/100 is fast, sending 70+ users out to Microsoft's servers for their information versus just using the internal gigabit infrastructure (hell, one of our sites has a 10 gigabit fiber trunk from the main office building to the plant) to local email and DFS file share severs just doesn't make sense. |

Speaking of monitor colour type, can you actually tune the laptop monitor colour to warmer? Because sometimes when looking at the white screen for long time quite stressing my eyes.

As for us, we image our machines on a per machine basis still, as we have a lot of machines with specialized software as well as a lot of users who need their hands held when new versions of Windows are rolled out, though we do have one base image per machine type. Quote:

It'd be interesting if laptop screens had built-in color settings, but then that'd probably just jack up the price unnecessarily on many devices since most, if not all GPU control panels allow for color adjustment.

Been thinking about current generation Intel processors and...
Well, i5s. Two Pentiums duct taped together and given Turbo Boost and most additional CPU features, or i7s without hyper-threading and less cache? Fun to think about it. |
Well, this is why I hate myself. $400 to get my laptop up and wiped and reinstalled (Twice, loosing some files too) and it seems like the problem is probably just a bad fan, which was the case a few years ago, same laptop. I was going to do the 2nd wipe myself, but it would stay on (shut off randomly) or blue-screened before the backups were done. Now I need to buy one, and I'll probably choose to DIY it since shop labor is expensive. Though the fan placement on mine is all the way in, I think I have to take out even the mother board to get to it.

Not sure if thats possible Tsutarja, though it wasn't $400 in one sum, it was like $220 one time, $180 the other. There was also a $230 screen replacement years back, and forgot how much it cost to get my fan replaced also years back. Now if that was all in a single sum, a new laptop would defiantly be in the realm of possibility, but after paying it, not sure much. I do want a new one though, laptop. I mean a gaming / better desktop then I have now would be nice, but a laptops portability matters. |
Have to download Visual Studio 2012 and Visio 2013 for a class. Oh how fun this will be.

So, I'm going to butt in with something that's been on my mind lately, and something I'm sure many have had to deal with before: terrible ISPs.
Specifically, my parents have had service from an awful company called Consolidated Communications since we moved into our current home. We had hoped to keep our previous ISP, but unfortunately, Consolidated has a monopoly on our entire area. We've tried to find others, but as we are a little bit in the country, that doesn't seem to be possible. There service has usually ranged from "bad" to "mediocre", though recently has become nearly unusable. This happened fairly recently, after I began doing regular YouTube uploads again, and I feel it is an upload speed issue (speed tests show Download speed of 16mbps but an upload speed of only 0.08mbps). Thoughts? |

We've been getting DSL from them.
In general, I'm at a point where I find it easier to, each time after I finish editing a few videos, just take my laptop over to my sister's house and just mooch off her service to upload them. |
Unfortunately, DSL is very unstable and not the fastest considering it's coming to be a fairly outdated technology(™). DSL service is delivered over copper lines directly and that in turn doesn't allow for the fastest of connectivity, whereas most broadband connections these days are powered by fiber optics.

So I've been thinking of making the backup motherboard do something more useful...

I am utterly that the LGK10 isn't making a big splash in the midrange market. While the 410 is a bit dated, it's still a capable processor. Other then that the phone is a gem. Just got it yesterday and I am in love. The build quality is miles ahead of the plastic junk the Samsung J series is made of,maybe that's what it stands for, and UX is such a lightweight easy to use and look at UI. Camera is average, and I love the less saturated colors on the phones screen, nothing is neon and bright. I am an absolute fan of low saturation,so I cannot get the hate for this department. And again,the plastic chassis is phenomenal, such a sturdy phone.

Honestly, I would probably love a Samsung phone if it didn't have the hideous TouchWiz UI.
