    They (ipad) can do most anything, but it's the assbackwards way you have to go about everything. It's entire operating system is designed for consumption not production. The surface lineup, and this dell xps are much more functional, and able to do things easily like working with various files and drives. Connectivity is another issue with ipad. You cannot plug multiple things in without dongles...

    My wife and I both had Apple series 3 when they came out. It was fun responding to texts etc for a while. We then sold them and moved to fitbit. She has the luxe, and I have the Versa 2. The health tracking of the Fitbit products are way ahead of apples, and I only paid 139 cdn for mine and 119 for hers. I do like the samsung better than the apple too.

    I miss my 2000 supercharged Integra LS/Vtec every day. It was the 'funnest" car I have owned...Mustangs and SS camaros were a joke next to this rig. I had the engine and supercharger fully modified by Endyn Engine Dynamics. Had their Rods, pistons, cams, engine block cradle brace, head porting and the supercharger was extensively modified and pushing 22psi.

    I am wanting to move my photos/videos/music/Documents to my 8tb HDD instead of on my C Ssd. Now, these are tied to onedrive, Do I move them the same way I moved downloads, just make the folder in the 8tb and move the location to that folder?

    When they decide to do the next SE I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

    Just on WC and thought this is an interesting take on the whole "app store tax" saga that's playing out. If played correctly, Microsoft and Linux stand to make moves in the OS department and future of computing. Very interesting way to go about it. Thanks to Google and Apple's taxes, web apps on Windows PC are suddenly getting good | Windows Central

    Will do. When the time comes I have the build list done. Moving to amd thread ripper for the CPU on a gigabyte creators board that handles 256gb of ram has 3 nvme slots on Board and can take two 7900 video cards. Plus the extra drives I want as well. Should be a fun build when the time comes

    We are currently driving a 2015 Jeep Patriot with a bunch of stuff done. Got the 2" rough country lift ( I do NOT recommend this lift brand at all), and a bunch of mods for overland camping etc. We also have a 2003 Audi a4 3.0 cabrio. I am starting to do some stuff to this now like new wheels, suspension, and exhaust system for some nicer tones and looks out back.

    So, I ran userbenchmark for my inspiron 5406 while on all intel based drivers from their website and scored really low on alot of the benchmarking options. I then said to myself, self, what if I moved to the Dell driver package and tried again. I gained 20% in most categories in their benchmarking package. I am removing the intel software update systems for my two dell systems and moving to dell for their drivers. Every little bit makes a difference. There was one person on NBR who claimed they got massive gains by using intel's drivers so I did that as well. Guess he was wrong.

    I am using two dell 24" ultrasharp monitors. I cannot remember the model numbers. One is touchscreen and the other is not. I have both calibrated for photo/video/graphic work and both look identical. I love my setup for what I do. I was looking at moving to the Samsung M8 32" and have the LG doublestack (whatever it's called) as a secondary but I think I am going to save the money and keep what I have. My wife has an older HP 24" display she using for working from home. It's a nice screen. I am painting the housing after Christmas to make it look nicer in her office instead of a black brick thats there now!. My son has my old HP W2207(i think) monitor. I purchased that after I sold my Apple cinema monitor. It's image is AWESOME, and right up there with the Apple actually. I wasn't expecting as good an image as I got from it. Going from 27" to 22" was rough for awhile though. Ha ha.

    I don't game, I am a creator. I am wondering how these will do in resolve, lumiar neo, DxO pl6 and others. I moved to the Nvidia side of things when AMD bought out ATI. I figured they were going to make their cards better for AMD chipsets instead of intel, so I moved on. Maybe when I build my new system next year, I will move back to the Radeon side of the coin.

    I remember back in the day when I had my galaxy S2s and note 1, there was a certain app that had nice non annoying notification and ringtone sounds. Are there any apps that still provide this? I can't stand the Motorola offerings in my 5g. My iPhone tones are much nicer since I have a regular ringtone with no music and just a non-offensive text/email/etc tones instead of obnoxious ones in the moto.

    Yes, I bought and sold it again. I had to stop working because of the pandemic so the Jeep had to go. We now are using the patriot full time for off and on road travels. We did pick up a cool little camper called a Sylvansport Go. It's awesome and the little patriot tows it without issue. thanks for reading. We have not been anywhere in two years for obvious reasons, so we are getting back on the go this winter and get some new content flowing in the form of video blogs and our blog site as well. I will keep people informed asap when new stuff pops up!

    Dell inspiron 5406 2 in 1. I have upgraded to a 4tb SSD from the 512gb version (much faster drive as well), and I have added 64gb of ddr4 ram. I installed the 2 512gb ssd from my systems into a dual SSD enclosure and now use both for scratch and project drives while using resolve via a USB C dock. This provides me with desktop editing performance of multiple drives in a compact travel package. Add on the second 14" portable display, and 2tb storage HDD enclosure, I have a system on the road that mirrors my home system (with less overall power) and it all fits in my MEC messenger bag. Great portable power for me!

    Oh, sorry. It's the 2007 model acer aspire 7720. there was a big writeup on it on the old forum. I am going to do the 17" panel replacement to UHD 1080, upgrade the processor and increase the ram to 8gb.

    I am close to pulling the trigger on a 2009 MBP 17" and doing the "unsupported" thing for an upcoming video for my new channel. I think it would be good for the overall theme of it. I will know in the next couple of days.

    If gaming weren't a factor, I would suggest even using iris Xe. I use it on my dell inspiron and edit 4k video, photo, do graphic creation etc all on it. I may be a little slower than having dedicated graphics, and for me now, time is money, but while on location, with the way I have everything setup now it works for me and I get the results I need. I did upgrade my ram and SSD to much better specs, but the system itself was 949 cdn. With Xe graphics, you have to make sure you optimize your software to run on it. Once done, it's smooth sailing.

    the pixel 7 lineup is great. I love the cameras in those, and the lemongrass and sage colorways of the two phones are so nice looking.

    Video, photo and graphics intensive projects with time constraints. Trying to remove every bottle neck. This system will probably be started next winter. My XPS build is trudging along fine right now. Doing what I need it to do, and what not. But once I step up to the new camera gear, I think it will have more trouble then.

    Thank you very much. Yeah Some of our stuff got deep, but, If I am completely honest, I was being funny some of the times which probably does not come off correctly in forums. But nothing was EVER PERSONAL with me, only the autism/"retarded" comments. I do NOT take kindly to those. I know it was not you who said that for sure. I cannot remember who it was.

    That's why I am a writer....I can come up with gems. ha ha! Back when NBR was rolling good on the forum side of things, but the main page was severely lacking, I offered Charles my services to write new and engaging articles for the site. He said that ship had sailed. Too bad, I could have provided some great content for it. I am currently going to be writing some new books, and other things soon and I cannot wait to get at it all. One book is about getting refugees out of Afghanistan with the Canadian Armed forces. There is a Veteran here with 4 or 5 books worth of personal materials, and images about how all that went down. Another client has a lifetime of hunting and fishing stories from all over northern Canada and Alaska. He wants me to compile them into books for him to sell. I get paid, They get paid more! I can even do the publishing layout and cover design etc. A one stop shop besides actually printing the books. I love telling stories. I only found out about this love since starting our family travel blog about having a son with autism and how we travel and give him life experiences, and adventures. It's all I want to do now. Tell stories about tech, family, life, and history.

    This case will be the base for my next build. I can reuse alot of my current parts inside, such as my noctua cooling components, HDD and SSD setups. I will be moving to a 13th gen i9, 4090 graphics card and asus proart board. I still only see the option for 128gb of ram. Can you get single sticks of 64 gb ddr5 yet? Fractal North Case

    I got the phone, it's actually the moto G 5g. Even better, but still no NFC. I have it setup now with the microsoft launcher and whitecons for the icons. Looks really nice. I am going to be putting a new memory card in it and setting it to system memory as well.

    Now that you mention overclock.net. I do remember him. I used to be a regular on there back when I was building machines. Health is number one priority now. I am getting overweight again, and our home gym got flooded out by sewer in sept. We are getting all fixed up in the new year. I am also battling some lung / respiratory issues where I am on steroids trying to combat whatever is going on. Not cancer etc, but scary when you cannot get a breath to save your life. Many people leave too young because of cancer and other illnesses. Hopfully he never suffered much and is at rest now! RIP!
