  1. Is this even news? Anyone with any iota of common sense knew this was happening. Nothing to see here.
  2. Goto silver rising and listen. They get in the flow there.
  3. I have a very similar setup to rick's guitar rig now. Just waiting to get a similar guitar. The tone that comes from his system is awesome. I have two fender amps, Line 6 pedal board instead of a mishmash of pedals, running through the amps in stereo which is WILD for delay and modulation effects (they swirl around you). The music has feeling! I am putting down the floor in my music room next week so my gear can go back in it's home. I will have two rooms finished from the flood then. Our gym and music room will be completed by the end of next week if everything goes right.
  4. Going with my favorite bands. Here is Phish on Jimmy Fallon a month ago! YEAH!
  5. Here yah go. Three and a half hours of musical magic! YOU ARE WELCOME!
  6. I have the sanyo PLV-Z1. It upscales to 1080 and has awesome color. I purchased it back in 2003 and have owned it ever since. At the time it was rated one of the top 5 projectors under 5000.00. I paid 2800 for it back then.
  7. Not at all. You want control freaks, use MacOS!
  8. Tesla's would be way better with gas engines. Windows is king for productivity. the android versions of software and iOS for that matter too, are all gimped in some way. When you have windows, you have the full versions of the software. I have used all three, there is no comparison when trying to get work done. Windows is the best. I have owned surface devices in the past. They are awesome. Being able to take your tablet, pop into a dock and have full windows on your displays, but have it on the move as well is a god send. Android is great for consumption, looking at FB, youtube, etc. For doing work, its not even close.
  9. 100 percent. The walls are bare without them. ha ha. I am adding another 43 inch to my workstation for viewing completed projects. I don't shell out alot for them since they are disposable these days. The good ole ONN roku tv's from Walmart do the trick without issue. Their speakers suck so alternative audio is a must.
  10. Because like any big headed rich dude, they love their "tires pumped"...no matter who's pumping them.
  11. Of course a Laptop would be better, but even a tablet style device running true windows is a much better way to be productive, no matter what the "product" is. Android is awesome for consumption. Windows is much better at production.
  12. Talk to me when it runs windows. It's a cool tablet, but for a productivity tablet nothing touches windows based systems. Having the full versions of software is a big deal.
  13. Can't these companies be original? Their software is a blatant ripoff of apple. I thought it was a review of an ipad. I still think the best tablet now is the surface snapdragon. Have all the power of a real OS in a 12 inch device.
  14. I know. I saw it a while ago and forgot all about it. There are a few different models in the wild now. I also found one that has a complete docking station included as well. I like the Pocket Ai the best because of the very small size of it. I want a very small kit to carry with me, and it fits right in my carrying bag. I was taking an extra touch display with me to have a very similar setup as I have home, but I am not sure that will work with the External device. I have to look more into that one as well, if not, I will leave the display at home and use the extra processing power.
  15. My advice is to only purchase electronics from the Amazon renewed store. Ordering something from ebay like that is a gamble and if it is not what you think, returning it is a PITA. I, moving forward, will only be purchasing from the renewed store for all my devices. You get great deals on 1- or 2-year-old tech items with full warranties. It's a fantastic way to save money and get great devices.
  16. I'm sure they are, if you want to buy used. If you don't, then the cheaper android devices now are really really good.
  17. We are going on a 3 week camping trip next summer and for the most part we will be eating our own food. We bought a portable 12v fridge for the back of the jeep and will have our 2 burner propane stove with coleman box oven as well. There will be a couple of stops at McDonalds for Colin, and one stop at Mary's African Cuisine in Halifax when we are there (they have wheat free dishes on the menu). Other than that, it will be going to the grocery store every few days when we move from one campground to the other. Technology has made it easier to find places if need be however and I am grateful for that.
  18. I am on your side. I had a different kind of health scare, as you know. However, my son with autism has these panic attacks when certain things trigger him. When he was younger he was afraid of dogs, animals of all sorts, he still cannot be left alone. Someone has to be in the house with him or with him outside at all times. I completely understand what you are going through. How to beat it? I cannot give any advice, only you can get that done. If it is legal down there, try CBD gummies. You don't get high off them, but they do stabilize alot of things in your internal systems. It can reduce pain, stress, regulate your nervous system and treat alot of different health issues. Before it became legal here, there was thousands of studies proving the benefits of it and finally the government woke up and stopped with the religious kookery blocking very beneficial natural treatments. EDIT: I have arthritis in my neck and back from 35 years of off road motorcycle and snowmobile racing and getting hit head on in an accident (not my fault). CBD is the ONLY thing that gets rid of the pain so I can sleep throughout the night, wake up the next morning, get out of bed and not walk like quazimoto for the first 30 mins of the morning. That stuff works, and it's a "miracle treatment". It also makes me not want to kill people that come into work acting like aholes.
  19. Any car/truck/SUV that I have owned and was driven in the winter here had it's windshield replaced before it gets any swirls. They use boulders here for ice control, so sure as there is S*@T in a cat, my glass gets cracked, chipped, stoneshot every winter.
  20. I have a very large house. Plus I have tv's in each of my garages. I have 2 tv's in my rec/theater/bar room, plus a 120 in retractable screen and projector for movie nights.
  21. Exactly. I have me, my wife, my two sons (at times, one moved out at 17 to goto University and has been gone for the most part since-he's 26 now). We all have phones (I have 3 different phones), tablets, laptops, desktops, all our rooms have smart TV's ( 12 including the ones in my garage) cameras, and more. Not hard to rack up stuff connecting to the system.
  22. If you can hook your fingernail in them, no polish is taking them out. if they are light swirls, you have a chance.
  23. We have had both of ours since Nov of last year I think. I have yet to have any of the issues you mention. The internet is full of false information when it comes to pixels as apple fanbois love to fire out a lot of garbage cloaked in "unbiased" testing. I am coming from real world use of two Pixel 8 Pros that are daily drivers. Battery life is on par if not better than our iPhone 13s, there are no "glitches", quality control issues, I have never had a "botched" update and Charging time is fine. I have enough battery to last me the entire day using my phone ALOT. I throw it on the wireless charger in the evening and it's ready to go the next day.
  24. I would go with either a razer 16, xps 16 with Nvidia graphics or the new ProArt 16 from Asus. Three of those will work great for graphic creation. As a content creator myself, i know our needs are different than gamers. I use a Dell Inspiron 5406 2 in 1 as my main laptop, but am purchasing an RTX500 mini eGPU for a graphics boost. For my work Intel's quicksync will take advantage of the extra GPU to make my projects finish MUCH faster.
