A part of me wants to buy a new 2-in-1 laptop/tablet and be done with it. Another part of me wants me to wait for a bit more just in case any new announcements happen.
The thing is, these 2-in-1s seem perfect as it is... I'm hard-pressed to see anything Kaby Lake could provide significantly better than what is already on Skylake CPUs. It's nice to be able to want things... sometimes I think the 2-in-1 models need a refresh badly. It's like for some reason it's lagging. |
Phew, after two hours of working on my site, I have my fingers crossed that I optimized the fuck out of it, and hope that it doesn't crash.

The first-generation Surface RT is slow as molasses when visiting many web sites now. The gaming laptop I have, I rarely use it ever since I've gotten this desktop, and I don't really bring it out as much as I could due to its size and weight. Since I'm no longer having graphics power as a priority, a 2-in-1 running a Core m3 or i5 seems like the best fit now. It'd be smaller and lighter than a "normal" laptop, and I also can get rid of my tablet which is rapidly becoming dead weight due to lack of performance. Moving from tablet guts to laptop guts should also make it a lot less likely to be obsoleted, given that people can still do fine with a decade-old system today. In fact, if I could, I'd have already bought the Acer Switch Alpha 12. Think Surface Pro 3's everything, make it cheap, make it include the keyboard and stylus in the first place, and make it fan-less (despite running a 15W processor). I don't mind having a slightly less sharp (though still very high-resolution, given that it's still 2160x1440) display, or having 5 hours of battery life to 7, compared to the current-gen Surface Pro 4. The thing is, neither Acer nor Microsoft have gotten around to refreshing their Surface (clones) with Kaby Lake CPUs yet. Would be nice if I got myself a few hundred extra hertz and video chip. |
I just ordered my new phone (a refurb nexus 5) and I'm thinking of installing multiROM on it, and am curious if anyone here has used it before and if so if they have any tips installing it correctly?

It's pretty hard trying to resist the urge of upgrading your desktop given all the hot new products that are just now coming out...

Being tempted to upgrading to new computer hardware is definitely a thing... been thinking of getting my CPU swapped out for an i7-4790K, or even just change the motherboard and RAM to support either a 7700K or the R7 1700. Hmm...

I really need a new Android device. It seems my Nexus 7 is getting slow these days, and my Moto G barely has enough storage. |

Perhaps one day I'll find an actual reason, but that day is not now. |
My Honor 7 Lite just updated today from EMUI 4.1.2 to 5.0. Holy hell, I have had everything from a Sony Ericsson to Sony, an LG and a Samsung, and I think this is the first time an android device has ran faster for me jumping up a generation in android versions on a previous year model, this is seriously impressive. Loving the pop up windows coming from the bottom, the rounded notification bubbles, and I also think the app drawer is pointless. The iOS style homescreen has grown on me, 4 simple folders and nothing else, its just so simple and minimalistic. Only thing annoying me is the recent app drawer, I want the carousel back, the stock cards are boring.

I own an LG G4 and at first LG didn't even want to bring Nougat to this device.
They changed their mind after a "riot" on the XDA forums and honestly I don't blame them, how can you not bring Nougat on a device that's just 2 years old and that goes pretty strong still to this day? The problem is that now that LG has been forced to make this update I'm afraid that they will come up with something rushed and not well optimized, I hope not. |
Hi Odin.
How's the weather m8 I'm stuck with a S6 for now and I'm trying to decide between the ZTE Axon 7 or Oneplus 3 / T depending on budget. Trying to get one that has good development support. |
So for those that have web servers utilizing PHP and MySQL/MariaDB, I really recommend installing phpMyAdmin if y'all don't have it yet. It's a great and easy way to maintain databases and database tables on your server that way you don't have to go through all that command line shit.
