    How well does Linux perform with 4k?

    27". I would have gotten a 32" if the prices weren't so high, 32" seems like the perfect size. I have price points that I refuse to go over no matter how good a product is even if I can afford it and 32" 4k monitors are way over that price. I considered taking a risk and ordering one of those...

    How well does Linux perform with 4k?

    Just got a 4k monitor and it is running smooth with Linux Mint. Didn't have to do anything but plug it in and turn it on. Set to the correct resolution and refresh rate automatically using the displayport. Loving it so far. Much better for me than 2k and ultra-wide 2k. Only complaint I have is...

    Way to force phone to continue playing video when screen locked? (Android)

    Play the video or podcast in firefox browser and it will continue playing with a locked screen. Works on youtube as well as other video sites. If you have t-mobile, playing youtube in the browser will count against your data, binge-on only works with the youtube app. This will work in google...

    I'm so done. Galaxy S7 not phone for me..

    I definitely liked the metal body with the HTC 10. I wish phones were either metal or plastic and never glass. The most delicate product in my house should not be my phone. It wasn't a bad phone, but the things it lacked or the things it did in a way that I don't like was not worth it for me...

    LG V20 - $672 on Verizon

    The G3 is/was a great phone. If the the G5 and V10 didn't have the bootloop issue I would buy one easy. Hopefully the V20 won't have one. Without the bootloop, once the price drops I would buy one immediately.

    [UPDATE 10/4/16] It is official! Pixel and Pixel XL (formerly Nexus 2016)

    Yup, good thing I never said that.

    Google actually acknowledges this problem. It's not made up. If other reviewers missed it that says something about them.

    LG V20 - $672 on Verizon

    Bootloops have been reported with the G4, G5, and V10. I think the G4 and V10 have it the worst but the G5 is not considered safe. I will let other people beta test and let the price drop before I consider one.

    I'm so done. Galaxy S7 not phone for me..

    I bought and returned the HTC 10 recently. Hopefully you will like it more than I did. Wasn't worth the $549 + tax.

    I don't know how anyone can say the Pixel has the best camera with that halo effect going on... http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/10/26/google-acknowledges-pixel-camera-lens-flare-issue-will-use-magical-mathematics-fix/...

    This is why Linux will never take over the desktop...

    @Red Squirrel Definitely a legitimate possibility, no doubt. That is why some people view their moves skeptically. As much as I don't trust Microsoft or any corporation for that matter to make the "right" decision, this Linux move in my view is not malicious. My guess is that someone at...

    Good inexpensive non-TN?

    Sleeping on it for you can't hurt and gives you more time to build up a bigger budget. Sock away $10-$100 a month and it will add up quickly so when you do decide to buy you can get a better monitor than you planned, at the same or better price. The fact that you hold on to a monitor for 10...

    This is why Linux will never take over the desktop...

    The funny thing about this discussion is Microsoft, more than ever, is jumping into Linux big time. http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-and-canonical-partner-to-bring-ubuntu-to-windows-10/...

    What OS do you like better? (Ubuntu vs. ChromeOS)

    The only feature that would sway my vote is if ChromeOS ran standard Linux applications in addition to Chrome Apps. If it did that I would view it as one of the better Linux distributions.

    What OS do you like better? (Ubuntu vs. ChromeOS)

    I love Ubuntu. I don't have a problem so much with ChromeOS. It's nice enough and I would have no problem using it, but any computer that comes with ChromeOS is locked down and more resistant to user changes than a Microsoft computer. Sure there are ways around it, but I can't support that...
