    Looking for a tablet that I can use to stream video to my TV

    You can display your android screen on any tv/monitor that has Roku 3. Not sure what version of Android though.

    Win 10 Install and Upgrade-Preview Future Release 1703. Aka Creators Edition.

    Neither would work on 10, both work fine now that I'm back to 8.1 . I've changed my MS Account password and it works fine across all devices. There's something wrong with that computer - I really think I may have a corrupt profile and should probably just wipe it clean and start from...

    Win 10 Install and Upgrade-Preview Future Release 1703. Aka Creators Edition.

    So I did the advanced boot and selected the option to go back to previous build. It went back to 8.1 and let me in..... Think I'll leave this system on 8.1 for now

    Win 10 Install and Upgrade-Preview Future Release 1703. Aka Creators Edition.

    Thanks Tried that, nothing. I also have a picture password - when I get it wrong it tells me that it's wrong, when I get it right it tells me that the picture password is associated with an out of date password. oye

    Win 10 Install and Upgrade-Preview Future Release 1703. Aka Creators Edition.

    I installed 10 on a M6600 dell lappy - but the system will not recognize my password at the regular login screen, but works if I boot to a command prompt. Any idea what I can do from the command prompt to reset my password so it works at the desktop? I tried the "net user username...

    Does paying cash at a dealership really get you a better price ?

    It's an easy buying experience and they give you top dollar for your trade-in. None of the cars I looked at there were way out of line in pricing, my S5 was a good deal less expensive than the dealers used units.

    Does paying cash at a dealership really get you a better price ?

    I think they prefer that you finance, they can make more money on that than they can make on the car.

    Just updated my garage both cars replaced

    You don't like your Macan? I think it's a blast to drive. Could be a global conspiracy or maybe that pesky technology improving our lives. Either way, I'd still rather drive a manual.

    Just updated my garage both cars replaced

    Thanks! Compared to what? Macan is an awesome grocery getter. It's really a great choice if you want something sporty but somewhat practical I know, but at I got a smoking deal on it so I can't really be too picky. And the PDK has a better resale for some stupid reason.

    Just updated my garage both cars replaced

    Seats are very comfortable and have enough adjustments to suit me - I could have lived with the 8 way and saved the money - Bose is overrated, but sounds nice, I think they purposely put crap standard systems in just so you'll upgrade (I have standard system in my 911) - PCM is awesome, I think...

    Just updated my garage both cars replaced

    She loves it, she was really hesitant to give up her beloved 328, but after a day with it she's hooked in a big way. It's a pleasure to drive, puts a smile on your face and still retains some utility. Perfect choice for her - she's forever picking up crap at yard sales or Lowes and really...

    Just updated my garage both cars replaced

    The new version of the PDK is supposed to be rock solid (in the Macan) The 997.2 is updated and, again, supposed to be improved. I was asking a dealer about it, they told me that they get very few complaints and/or issues regarding the 2nd gen PDK and up. If I hang on to the car I will get...

    Just updated my garage both cars replaced

    The regular Macan isn't out yet, you're probably thinking of the Turbo S. If I were driving the Macan I would have gone for the Turbo S because I'm an idiot, but since the wife will be doing 99% of the driving in it she would rather spend the money on new pavers for the lanai or some other...

    Is there even a choice between those three? Did you consider a 911s cab?

    Is BMW M3/M4 best car in price range?

    Maybe an M2, but they haven't released the specs. If it's a 235 on steroids then why bother? If it's a tracked out 235 then probably not as good of a DD as an M3/4 Regardless, I'm really down on BMW these days with their stupid piped in engine noise. Just dumb

    OnePlus One: Experiences?

    I had one and sold it after a couple months - It's well worth the money, but there's better hardware out there and the customer service was non-existent

    GT350 Mustang rated at 526 hp, spins to 8250rpm!

    2015 cars are just a 50 year anniversary marketing deal to create hype. In reality the 2016 will be the same car, just worth about half as much to collectors 50 each Track Pack and Tech Pack (50th anniversary) 37 R's - is supposed to be the same number that Carol Shelby originally produced...

    GT350 Mustang rated at 526 hp, spins to 8250rpm!

    It's just under $50k base with the Gas Guzzler tax. Pretty much everyone is going to add a track or electronics pack, some color goodies - probably be around $58 plus tax. The regular GT is a different car, GT350 is a road track focused car with improved brakes, suspension, lighter front...

    Breaking Up With Apple
