I moved on to Android about 2 years ago, but I miss using my 920 dearly. Only reason I moved on was apps. Otherwise the phone was hands down the best phone I have ever used. UI was simple to use and navigate, and generally a pleasant experience. Battery life was also very good.

It’s a thing. There’s a couple potential factors at play. If you have some sort of call scanner, it may auto direct those calls to VM. I think some providers now have call filtering that will do this too. And yes, some just go to VM.

Most things ship with in a reasonable time. I don’t order enough stuff, nor use any of their services, so I can’t justify prime. I simply don’t need it.

I’m right there with you man. I work IT and have answer all calls during the day, and definitely when I’m on call. I think the most egregious one called me at 2 AM. I damn near threw my cell phone through the wall.

Overall I actually don’t mind it. If I have any gripe, it’s the DRL’s. I still prefer my 5th gen RS’s cat eye look.

PSU, but not for the quality reasons most people will state. Of couse you should by a good one, but for me it’s spending the little extra to get a modular PSU. You only plug in what you need and have no extra stuff you have you need to gather and tie at then end. I won’t build another system without one.

Multiple drives are doing it? Definately check for BIOS updates. I’d recommend doing it with just the main drive installed as it seems to be affecting your boots with others installed, and you don’t want to interrupt a BIOS update by accident. I read your post as saying the 1 drive is causing issues, and that it’s old.

I have long given up trying to convince victims to replace Windows with ..., and I look for a windows license key. If I am lucky, there was a Windows 7 on the dead drive, and it has a license key. With that, I can use an OEM disk to re-install the OS on a replacement disk, and use the license key to pass Windows

Gut feeling is that your drive’s controller is on the way out. Hang on boot means the BIOS/POST is having issues identifying the device. As a precaution, you might look into BIOS updates. Sometimes they address incompatibility with specific hardware (rare, but it does happen). To be completely honest though, I’d pick

Well, that’s pretty normal. Really though, if you’re going to try and run off one drive, you need to start curating data, or keep moving data off. I have a 1TB SSD, and brought my old raid over from the old PC, so 3TB of storage. Games will still fill up the SSD, so I’ll have to put some things on that other drive

SSD’s are magnitudes faster than traditional HDD’s. Most common (read: cheap) setup is a small boot drive, and a large HDD for storing data. Regardless, We’re talking minutes to seconds here. If you don’t already have one, an SSD is hands down the single best upgrade you can do to your PC (as long as it’s new enough

Soon as I have my W2 and investment forms, I file my taxes. Get that shit done and I don’t have to worry about it.

It’s a security feature, and while a annoying, a decent one unfortunately. As an IT person myself, I completely understand where you’re coming from. However in the end it’s one of those security vs. convenience things, and security should rightly win out most of the time.

Windows 10 kinda sorta respects the UAC off setting. I’ve found that now some things run as admin, and some do not. Now it just won’t prompt you. It’s really a crap shoot.

ctrl + shift + enter to run as admin.

I did that for a long time, and it’s scared the crap out of me a few times because I’ve gotten out of the habit. Everything is flat around me, so I usually just part in neutral with the hand brake. However, when I take my car to get serviced or what not, they almost always park the damn thing in gear and I forget to

Yeah, it’s a damn arms race in a way. Can’t see traffic, so buy something that towers over it. Now everyone drive them, so you still can’t see traffic

If this isn’t the angriest old man face on a car...

How many HDMI devices do you need to push? I mean, 6 would be better, sure, but 4 is fine for most people. Setup box, a couple gaming systems, and something else. How many devices are you pushing?

We’ll have to wait and see.
