    It's a better phone. You can't just install a different launcher?

    I never understood the allure of stock Android. It's a bit shit tbh.

     

    To each is their own, have used Galaxies and Nexuses from my friends and tbh, the difference in fluidity between the two skins (Touchwiz vs stock) is huge.

    It's a decent phone with fantastic battery life. Plus you get mods to use with it as well. It'd be something I'd be looking at getting if it supported as many bands as the Z2 Play (which is overpriced).

    Can you get the Zenfone 3 Zoom?

     

    Not really a fan of ASUS' UI, I'd prefer stock Android

  3. I'm planning to buy a new phone to replace my aging Galaxy A5. Max budget is around P20,000 ($400). I'm considering the Moto Z Play, as the Z2 Play is over my budget, is only available in select stores, and the battery is crappier. OP3T and OP5 are not available in my place, you'd have to go to Manila to buy one. Is the Z Play still worth it?

    only if you can get it below the MSRP. it's not worth the original price anymore, but if you can get it at a discount, go for it.

     

    keep in mind the moto X4 is coming soon, and it might check even more boxes. (SD 660, IP68, 3800mAh battery, etc. if the rumors are true.)

     

    Motorola is extremely late when it comes to releasing new devices here in the Philippines. Last I asked, there is no word yet regarding current generation phones. They only sell the Moto Z, Z Play, G4 Plus, and other lower tier phones at the moment.

     

    Also, the prices here are inflated. The current SRP for the Z Play is PHP 23,000 (~$455). The closest phone that is decent for the price is the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) for PHP 20,000 (~$400).

  5. Our family computer has a bunch of issues.

    First, the time is always wrong when you boot it up (you have to synchronize it every time you log in to Windows). 

    Second, while it doesn't do it all of the time, there are occasions when it won't boot up at all and the screen would flash 'Keyboard Failure', then 'Hard Disk Failure - strike F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility'. Even though I would press F1 or F2, nothing would happen. I would have to manually reboot the computer a few times until I get it to work again.

    The hard drive is fine, according to CrystalDiskInfo.

    I already tried replacing the CMOS battery with a brand new one. However, the problems still remain. BIOS is the latest version.

    I reckon it might be something with the motherboard, as it once belonged to an old Dell Inspiron 660s unit. My dad bought it online. When it arrived, it was missing a heatsink.

  6. I have an old PC lying around and I'm thinking of breathing new life into it by installing Windows 10. It's pretty ancient hardware (Q9550, HD 5450, 4 GB DDR2) and the mobo doesn't support more than 4GB of RAM. Should I install 32-bit or 64-bit W10?

    humm, maybe reinstall it, are you supposed to be able to click anything? like my driver is just a driver and you can't do anything with it

     

    Tried reinstalling. Nothing. Yep, it's an app that lets met set audio profiles, etc.

    Everyone in the thread so far has given great, honest advice about dealing with failure but you haven't failed yet. Your semester is just beginning and you are only two weeks behind. Take some weekends / evenings to study and you will be caught up in no time. If you have an attitude like you are going to fail then you will. If you tell yourself you can succeed and put in the time then you will succeed.

     

    I surely will :) Thanks for all your awesome advice

    Personally, I'd suggest getting a laser printer before an inkjet. If you need an inkjet, I'd go with the Epson. 

     

    Yeah, people keep on suggesting that I get a laser printer but the cheapest one that I could find that prints color is almost double the price of these two

     

    Why the Epson?

    Your school doesn't have a library where you can print?

     

    Nope. I go to a public school here in the Philippines and they are notorious for the lack of proper equipment and facilities. Only teachers get access to printers.

     

    Besides, I want to be able to print at home so that I can finish my homework as late as I want to without having to wake up early and go somewhere to print etc.

     

    My whole family will be using this printer

  11. Hi, I'm a student and I'm looking for a printer with cheap ink. Here are the two best ones according to my research. Which do you think is better?
