As someone who often buys and enjoys generic versions of food, I feel it is a case by case basis. The quality difference of generics varies wildly vs the name brands. The generic may often be similar enough that it’s not worth the difference, but there has been many times where the generic is blatantly different. You…

I’m in agreement and your comment reminds me of this comic from Maximumble. People hating the very concept of the movie, but still spending loads of money watching it anyway. Here is the excerpt from the article following it:

I’m tired of hearing “you haven’t seen the movie yet”.

It’s a follow-up to this one. The comic follows light plots when it comes to the comic's main cast of female versions of Team Fortress characters. Short version is all the other characters got some type of job with Overwatch. This girl (spy from Team Fortress) has disguised herself as an Overwatch character but it’s…

Due to the web app not counting as a device, it’s also not too much trouble for me to limit my devices as well. I also can’t shake the feeling that this may be the first step to eliminating the free portion over a two to five year span.

Answering my own questions (can’t edit). They were in the Devices FAQ linked in the article. They are giving people time to adjust, but will eventually start getting a device limit message on what they consider to be the devices that are over the limit.

I’m curious how they are going to prevent syncing more than two devices? I currently have Evernote installed on four devices (desktop, laptop, phone, tablet). I’m checking each of them and they all seem to be syncing just fine. I’m wondering if it is because they were all already signed into before they started this?…

When Win 10 came out last year, I often had to deal with fixing the start menu from not working. The cause was very often related to problems with the Cortana system, which seems to be heavily tied to the start menu. There would be times when I couldn’t log in to the system because it would say that something was…

First thought when I saw the girl in the .gif image glitch a little.

I’m not used to the type of splinter in the video. That looks like it would be easy to see and pull out. Even without tweezers. The splinters I’m accustomed to dealing with that are annoying are those small little black splinters that don’t stick out and break apart when you try to get them out using tweezers, needle,…

This sounds like how I treat my email. There are emails I delete immediately after reading. Emails I save for a little while, but will eventually remove when I’m cleaning out junk I don’t need anymore.

Installed and really like the app for the Alexa feature. This is something I have been wanting without having to pay for another device. It’s especially convenient considering I always have my phone with me. I just used it to make my shopping list (Alexa is in my room, not the kitchen). It’s works surprisingly well.

Yes, though you have to hit a button to hear a response. There is a talk (you) button and listen (the other person) button. The app notifies you when there is a response and you click the listen button to hear their message. You will hear Alexa’s response when you click this.

And then burn the house down with the lemons!

30% actually sounds about what I would expect. I know this is Japan so some of the details may differ, but hopefully the general idea will come across with my examples.

I’m a bit of a completionist, and can be pretty easy to please when it comes to games, so I either have to completely hate a game or be seriously bored by it to stop playing. I came so very close to stop playing both FF12 and FF13 for the reasons you gave.

Couldn’t find the full version of this scene (goes on a bit longer), but this is what I think of when I see something like this.

I understand. For me it’s less about multi-tasking, but a lot of my work and personal activities require me to deal with multiple windows (different programs, browsers, emails, documents, etc) for a single purpose. So instead of having to abuse the ALT+TAb, which gets punished on my laptop, I can just throw them onto…

Adding a second display makes a world of difference if you always have a bunch of windows and programs open (even if you don’t I can imagine it still being useful). I find this more appealing than getting one big screen. The difficulty can vary from dead simple to being more involved depending on a couple of factors.

I might be over estimating things, but with the Play Store being added, that opens up a lot of potential for the OS in my mind. The Play Store already has a lot of apps that I can imagine being useful on a laptop. I can also imagine some apps that wouldn’t work due to touch screen could be tweaked to work with laptop…
