  1. My dell laptop fired up and had a bunch of updates from intel for it. Knock on wood, I have not had an issue since. I am crossing my fingers that the updates fixed the display issues I was having. I hope, as I don't want to go buy a new system right now. I would rather use what I have and be happy. I plan on getting a portable egpu to boost video encoding speeds, but other than that I am fine with my dell and iPad 10th gen if this works out. My iPad will be my inspection and management device. My workstation will be my main editing system and my current dell notebook with egpu plugged in will be my on location editing system. I hope it stays reliable now.
  2. I have one for my work station phone for scanning ids etc. I agree its a great phone with little fuss. I charge it once every 3 or 4 days. We don't use it much but I like it better than the iPhones at the other stations.
  3. I am constantly in flux. ha ha. I am going to look at android tablets too. The software now has an android app as well. I am probably going to get a new PC but remove my ipad and get a nice android tablet to replace it. We will see. iPad26 is great for functionality, but it's slow as dogs*^t. Plus I want wide screen monitor capability. So, that rules out my current iPad. EDIT: the more I use my iPad, (which I am typing on now) the more realize that I can use one for my daily driver. Ha ha.
  4. Well, well, well. A new software package for the programs I need for work are now available on iPadOS. Hmmmmmm. That’s interesting for sure. I may try doing all my work on the iPad first and see how the work flow is. I would like to get a Pro so I can use an ultrawide monitor for when I am at my desk however. I will keep my windows desktop for when I need to use my flatbed scanner and large format photography printer. Let’s see how this works! I guess to replace my dying pc I will get an iPad Pro and all the fixin’s. If not I am going to a MacBook Air as I cannot find a windows pc that appeals to me.
  5. I got W11 installed on my wife's system without issue using FlyOOBE. worked great. Just pushed the install through without losing software or files on her pc. Took about 30 mins on a 4405u cpu.
  6. Because of software constraints (needing windows to run certain software I need for work) I have to stick with windows, and therefore I will be replacing my dell notebook with something new. What that is I don't know. I have to look at efficiency of a portable eGPU unit plugged into the laptop for video/photo editing work. I have been looking at a new one with a 7600XT in it. If, when it is plugged into the TB4 port of a laptop it gives the power of a 2070 super to a 2080 super, I will just get a new laptop, plug that in and be done. I could not do the iPad. The software was not able to work on it.
  7. When mine can't run the software I want to run anymore, its time to upgrade. This time however, the reason is for slow hardware failure. It works 90% of the time, but the other 10 it craps the bed.
  8. Yea. Working on my personal server today actually. Need to get it fired up and working as we are pulling completely from MS and their bull.
  9. Yeah I know. I am going to wait for the release version and update my little linux box to see how it works. I am going to give it, the new version of elementary OS, and Mint a go to see which one wins for our primary OS. I know garuda etc are out. Just too much screwing around. The main players for us will offer ease of use and lightweight. Who am I kidding, all linux distros are lightweight compared to the elephant that is win11.
  10. Please cool it with the R word. I am sure you can find another one to use.
  11. I am finalizing my off line data setup here now and getting it fired up. Once that happens I will be removing all our stuff from OneDrive/OneNote. Next will be going to LINUX ASAP. Even the wife says it's time. I have to keep my son on Windows where he has autism and change is very hard for him, but he does not have any real stuff on his pc only gaming. Keep him on a basic MS account with no extras, besides maybe game pass PC edition. For us however, we will be running linux for all our stuff. I will use my iPad for work software for our inspection business.
  12. I was just reading through the zorin os 18 build is shaping up to be awesome. Lots of new visuals and some great new features. Moving to it as soon as it comes out. I have a good grasp on how zorin works and it is a great replacement for windoze
  13. I noticed when I went in to look at how much game pass increased for us here in Canada that the PC only plan only jumped by 3 dollars, not 50% more. We get all the benefits of new games on release day, 400 titles available just like the Ultimate tier just not the Xbox usage. I am ok with that. ha ha.
  14. I noticed the other day when I went to the task mangler the other day that my graphics ram is now showing 32gb. It used to show 8gb as max allocated. Did intel update drivers and software to make use of more ram in the system for graphics use if you have it?
