God I hate that wording. I get the feeling they 1) do not want to say what kind of nag screen there will be and 2) want to keep it vague because if everyone gets this “final build” and a license is still required, they basically have tricked everyone into using a crippled OS and have to pony up for a license.

Which is…

So I’m reading this and the wording doesn’t sound any different than when they said if you have a pirated version of Windows 7 or 8 you will be included in the upgrade path as well. But that doesn’t mean you actually have a genuine version of Windows. And my understanding is that it has been stated that there will be…

Is this just a fun project, or do you get features creating this instead of buying a chromecast?

I guess the same question applies to those who have rooted their chromecast as well.

I know you can modify the DNS that way so that you can look like you’re coming from another country. But is there anything else?

what’s the range on something like this? How far away can the charger and receiver be? (for example, how think can the top of my nightstand be?)

I asked this on another post, but is there any more details about people who have less than legitimate copies of Windows? Say someone has a less than legitimate copy of Windows 8 Pro. They are definitely getting a free upgrade to 10, but I seriously doubt they are getting a free license, and who knows if they are…

YouTube is the same way. I’ll be at my in-laws controlling youtube on their bluray player from my phone’s YouTube app and I have the option to connect to my home bluray player if it is on.

I use this feature to stop any videos that are playing at home (my wife will just turn off the TV and not the bluray player when we…

So how is this going to work for those who have a less than legitimate copy of Windows? Especially if it is the Pro version? I know there was talk early on that they would be getting a free upgrade, but no other details on that. A free upgrade.... and a free license? That doesn’t sound right. So then a free upgrade…

We used to get their knock off brand diet cola. Their bottles are bigger than in the store.

The real savings I find there is razors for shaving. I can get a 6 pack for a buck! There are 4 packs of triple blades with swivel heads that I’m finding work much better than the larger packs (and each individual one lasts…

It is totally Flash. Specifically, it is probably the ads. Even coming out of sleep or hibernate the problem can persist and when I check Chrome’s task manager Flash is taking up an unusual amount of memory and sometimes CPU (when it is taking up an unusual amount of CPU is when I see sluggishness on pages using…

I finally installed a session manager extension so that when I do a restart I don’t lose all the pages I have open. The only thing that is messing me up with this is I use a virtual desktop app and I lose where all those browser windows are open and have to move them back. (I need to figure out a better solution)

I do not. Ads have never really bothered me and the pop up blocker built into the browser has been good enough for me. But this is really good information to know.

So I tend to leave my computer on with Chrome up and running for days at a time (at the very least over night) and I have found it eating more and more RAM as time passes. Which has only made me concerned just because I’m afraid it is sign of some inefficiency in the browser.

What is Really concerning is that it uses…

Maybe. I mean, part of going with an HTPC from one of these guys is because of how slick they look. Having an external drive sit next to it seems counter-productive to that end.

I should have probably brought this up during nominations, but it doesn’t look like any of these can handle an optical drive? I would love to replace my BluRay player with an HTPC some time.

I 100% understand your sentiment. But what the Satanic Temple is able to do is be a serious recognized religion (recognized by Christians, the majority people group, anyways). No one would take the Jedi religion or the Flying Spaghetti Monster religion seriously. When the Satanic Temple chooses to defend something…

Fair enough. It was just a large reception hall with an attached kitchen. Like I said, we made it look really nice.

But if the location of the reception is important to someone, and that location is going to be expensive, more power to them.

I went to a wedding where the location cost an arm and a leg and they served…

That's true. When we got back from our honeymoon we were going to have a reception for my family and friends who couldn't make it to the wedding (the wedding was in Idaho, I grew up in California). We tried booking the church my brother is a pastor at and they wanted to charge us a butt load of money. Luckily I was…

My inlaws paid for most of everything, but I was still involved in the conversations.

I can't imagine what someone is doing to get to $30k+ for a wedding. I think ours only came out to a few grand. We reserved a public picnic area over looking the lake, which was dirt cheap. Our reception was at the local senior…

I’ve been reading “Soul without Shame” by Byron Brown that talks in great depth about this and how to engage with your inner critic (or not engage) and really exploring where you may have learned this way of thinking. A lot of the book was a little out there for me, but I still got quite a bit out of it.

So does this mean if I finally make more than the upper bound (hopefully soon, and just barely) does that mean I'll be upper class?
