    Xarvz got a reaction from Alesek in Pixel vs Galaxy s7   
    So I waited months just for the new "nexus" to come out, instead we got a new line called Pixel. That said I can't justify the price. It costs way too much for what you get (lack of water resistance and an SD card..)
     
    As for the Galaxy S7, I dislike TouchWiz, the backwards buttons and the physical home button. I personally could get an s7 brand new with a warranty for 480€ but I won't because the only thing that makes me want it is the camera tbh.
     
    So for me, it came down to the HTC 10 or the OnePlus 3. Some advantages of the HTC 10 are better speakers and selfie camera which personally I don't have much need/use for. So if they're something you care about, go for the HTC 10.
     
    Finally the OnePlus 3. The advantages of the OnePlus 3 are a stock android like experience, Cost, almost the fastest android phone there is, the fastest fingerprint sensor & charging and a good camera for the price and my needs. The only real disadvantage for me is the size (I'm coming from a 4inch display and have medium sized hands so it will be hard to get used to)
     
    So it really depends on what you want out of a phone. Maybe you really want a good camera, then just go with the S7 despite its flaws at least it's waterproof and a lot cheaper than it was at launch. And who knows maybe you like all the things the HTC 10 have to offer. I don't dislike anything about it, if it was cheaper I'd go for it over the OnePlus 3 just because of my concerns about size. So for me, I'm going with the OnePlus 3. Hope this can help somewhat.

    Xarvz reacted to DanTheDJ in PLEASE HELP - How to Wipe SSD with OS and configure as storage drive?   
    Firstly, welcome to the forums!
     
    In Windows, it is quite easy to format drives. You could plug the SSD into the laptop you wish to use, and it should show up as a drive in My Computer/File Explorer.
     
    If you are on Windows 8 or Windows 10, right click on 'This PC' and click manage,
    If you are on Windows 7, go to the start menu and right click on 'Computer' then click manage.
     
    It should bring up a program called 'Computer Management'
     
    On the left hand side you should see 'Disk Management' - click this and it should bring up an overview of all of your connected drives. You should see your OS drive, plus the other SSD.
     
    Right Click on the SSD bar at the bottom of the screen, and click 'Delete Volume'
     
    Let it do it's thing then right click on it again and click 'Create new partition'
     
    (Call the disk what you want to name it and choose a drive letter)
     
    The newly formatted drive should show up in This PC/ My Computer
     
     
    Normally I would just right click on the drive in This PC/My Computer but I have had multiple problems multiple times with doing this with SSDs. The Computer Management way always seems to work for me.
     
    Enjoy the forums!

    Go to Best Buy and find the cheapest, off-brand thermal paste you can find. A friend of mine did that and his laptop CPU hit 100c, and everyone knows that higher is better. My AMD hits 10,000c regularly, I even renamed it "The Motherf***ing SUN" to fit its heat output.

    Steam and Origin download in megabytes (MB) per second instead of megabits (Mb/Mbps) per second.
     
    also be happy with ~9.5MB, that's good. I barely get 3 on the Atlanta servers.

    Xarvz reacted to Centurius in New HTTP 451 Error to Indicate Government Blocking/Internet Censorship   
    Originally proposed in 2013 the Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF) has now approved the use of error 451 to indicate a page has been taken down for legal reasons where previously only 404(not found) and 403(forbidden) could really be used. The goal is to be more transparent about internet censorship as well as making instances of it machine readable. The 451 number is most likely a reference to the novel Fahrenheit 451 and the temperature is roughly the point at which books burn. Use of the error might not become widespread as censorious governments and law enforcement agencies may disallow its use.
     
     
    ---
     
    Personally I am a great fan of transparency and as such welcome the error, at the same time I am disappointed that there now actually is a need for such an error and fear that in less open countries, and even our own countries companies being forced to hide actions taken on behalf of the government via warrant canaries, it won't be very effective.
