I’ve got a Sharp that I bought, maybe 10 years ago. To give you an idea I paid >$2,000 for a 42” LCD TV. It still runs like a champ, and I’ve had 0 issues with it. It lacks some of the newer features of a Smart TV and only has 2 HDMI ports, but it works great.

Yep, same thing here. Also right now OneDrive’s sync tool (at least for business) is AWFUL. It will randomly hang on syncing files. It doesn’t give reports on why it isn’t working. Bandwidth transfer speeds are bad, file types are limited without the ability to change them.

Great recommendations for students. As someone who worked IT in a college for 5 years, you covered the main points. 1. Anti-Virus 2. Backup - I’ve seen too many students get burned by virus or drive failure. PLEASE backup your stuff, even to a CD or USB drive to start. Of course cloud apps work nicely. 3 “Where can I

We’ve also started leaving the TV on for our Great Dane. She’s an older dog and is kinda lazy if she isn’t playing or out on a walk. We’ve come home a couple times and surprised her because she didn’t hear the car or house doors.

Good call, you’re right.

That looks like a pretty cool tool. It doesn’t appear to have cosmetic repairs, like a cracked front bumper in my case.

There is an uninstaller that a TechNet forums user, MELERIX made. I have NOT tested this yet.

Very few programs do that. Most you can uninstall, and then pick another off the list after. I also recommend CCleaner for uninstalling. It uses the same windows uninstaller, so nothing in that regard changes. But, on slower computers it usually loads the list of programs a lot faster. You can also run it portable, so

True, kinda...still had to go to the tile “desktop”. It wasn’t as easy (not that it’s overly hard to uninstall an app).

Uninstalling from the start menu is a great feature. Too many times I’ve looked at an app and said “Eh, I really don’t use that anymore I should uninstall that” and then never make it into Programs & Features to follow up.

Even though I’m a Google Music user, I would have to agree. Anyone can grab the playlist link and start listening automatically. Google allows playlist sharing, but I believe users need to sign in and have an active subscription/trial to listen. Spoitfy is just quick and relatively painless.

I hear that. We refaced our cabinets and had to buy new pulls for everything. like $100 later....

I think it’s also important to know the housing market your in. Can you get away with doing some Home Depot specials, or are buyers going to be looking for top of the line finishes?

Purchased! I’m not a huge tv/movie person so this is a great piece for someone who doesn’t necessarily need top of the line movie sound.

Yep, been there before. Or “My friend who knows a lot about computers told me not to do the updates” /facepalm

Completely agree. It would be nice if maybe by default they were automatic, but have the option to switch it.

Interesting, I’ve only used Android so I figured everything worked on both platforms. It appears that it “works” ......but not really.

Went to send a text this morning and noticed this update. Long time coming! I really love pushbullet. especially in a professional environment, where I don’t want to be staring at my phone all day.

Yes, Pushbullet:
