I dont think upgrading your phone, selling it (remember taxes and such) is gonna save you much in the end. Iphone performance really hasnt changed much in a few years, same thing with android. Next years androids are looking like incremental upgrades performance wise, with some new camera gimmicks and sofrtware stuff.
 
Honestly just buy the phone that you actually need, spending more for something that you dont actuallly use isnt really needed. I got a note 4 and a note 9 because i have pretty large hands and im comfortable with it. I like having a headphone jack, but nothing of the higher end models have it anymore. My Note 9 has the Green screen issue, but otherwise it still does exactly what i need it to do. 
 
Generally always will Reccomend buy once and use it till it cant do what you ask  it to do or it has issues.

For LineageOS, updates will download and update from the device itself much like official android does.
Chances of hardbricking your device are very slim. as long as you dont flash or break the bootloader, you can recover the same way you would install a rom, Android devices are much more resilient than when they first came about. Your chances of touching the bootloader however are slim.
This may or may not be true and you may need to adjust the camera settings through whataver camera app you decide to use. LineageOS isnt really built device specific, they are built in batches using known configs and drivers. You may however run into this issue with any other rom, alot are based on LineageOS.
Your bootloader wont auto lock unless you flash a stock image or you manually lock it. If you leave your bootloader unlocked, you will need to root your device with MAgisk and use Magisk Hide to take full advantage of the play store.
Installing anything larger than nano for Gapps, can prevent you from recieving local alerts.

That looks like a good idea, generally Sony phones are great. I had one and the build quality was excelent. You could do some games in that, to be honest as it has 6GB of Ram, 3300mAh battery and a flagship CPU (Snapdragon 855). Plus, it has three cameras.
 
The S10 though, is also a good option. Any flaghship, really

First if you want to make from scratch an excel clone, C# won't be as fast specially with cell recursion.
I suggest you simply add your functionality into excel directly. I have seen nearly complete excel and word overhaul done in C#.
 
That being said if you want to create from scratch and you know C# just go straight to .NetCore.WPF has some support for 3.0. Don't forget .Net 4.8 is the last windows only framework. .NET Framework is being killed next year. It will be replace by .NET 5.0 which is 100% cross platform using .NET Core which will support WPF and WinForm. Preview is already available if you want. Code will compile like you ticked the Native compile option in the project properties which will completely convert the code to a C++ native with extension modules (.NET another set of C++ modules). Won't have the same performance as C++ but with just the preview in my hands running simple sample performance loop, assignment, file handling it do get extremely close performance. On a basic loop test (loop + variable assignment and a mathematical operation) C# used to perform up to 8 times slower than C++ for the same code and on the new version ii is only 20 to 40% slower. Thats 7 times faster than it was but those are edge case scenario.

Yeah try Linux, then you can completely rule out whether it is Windows or your actual hardware. If it doesn't freeze in Linux then it may be time for a Windows reinstall.

Well, either way I'll keep you guys posted! I will also implement a new gesture system and animations just to feel as smooth as iOS.

For stock, how about Nova Launcher?
Otherwise, there is not really much of an issue. I switched form Samsung Experience (S7 Edge) to a Oneplus 6T (nearly stock like software). Aside from some Looks, it's all the same. Notifications look different, Icons look different, Menü has different colors, and maybe slightly different places where some settings are - you get used to it.
For Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime ^^
 
Installing a stock Custom Rom on a Samsung phone.. i don't like that - at least if it's the Exynos Model. Samsung doesn't give out source codes for their stuff, so.. Camera will NOT be as good as @ Stock.
 
If you buy Samsung, use their (sometimes really awesome) features.
If you really absolutely don't want a non-stock Android, you're stuck to Pixel (Oneplus is a cheaper Option, but a bit worse Camera (better with GCam Port, but still doesn't reach Pixel 3 Level), no official IP Rating, but according to most, better Performance than Pixel 3/XL).
 
iPhone Xr: Check it out if it really is an issue with the Display beeing LCD.
 
iPhone X: "Old"... Well, even a Pixel 4 (will be 2 years "newer" than iPhone X when it comes out) will not get longer updates than iPhone X.
It's a year old, but you will probably feel no difference to the Xs, and comparing to Android... it will still get longer updates then EVERY single Android that exists right now.
It will still serve you well many years.
 
Pixel 4: Interesting, as long Google doesn't fuck up.. i'm actually scared they will stick to 4gb... again.... (pls no... it was questionable on the Pixel 2 already...). For the time beeing, you could help yourself with a Oneplus 6/6t for the time beeing, since don't lose value that much.

The gcam port has some glitches but it's usable. I would just use it for pictures you really want to look good. Like if you have time to sit there for a minute and use it. It's a little bit unreliable. But even without the port the regular camera app is pretty good. And oneplus should release updates to make it better. 

Eh, I'm not a fan of iPhones at all. If you've been with android most of the I wouldn't switch. the S10 might be good for you. However with Samsung phones after a few years they get super slow and the battery gets pretty bad. I see people all the time complaining about their s5, s6, or some s7's getting slow and they end up switching to iPhones because they had a bad experience with older android phones.

OMG I JUST FOUND OUT! MY HDMI CABLE IS DEAD OMG I FEEL SO STUPID OH MY GOD IT WAS THAT SIMPLE!!!!! OMG! @Giiman95 @chckovsky @Airdragonz THANK YOU SO MUCH THOUGH FOR YOUR HELP I AM SO HAPPY.

Good to hear you got it sorted out!

@chckovsky I used a tissue to clean it.
 
CPU - i5 7400
Mobo - Asus strix H270f
GPU - 1060 3GB Gigabyte
SSD - Samsung 850 evo 250 GB SSD
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4GB 2133MHz

The like button is pretty much the same thing as a thanks button.

@Glenwing It just bootlooped. -.- FFS!!!!!
@Arcanekitten @Levent

@Anghammarad I'll try and I'll let you guys know

LIterally everything here. Took me few words on google search. It's xda forum so you can trust it in same way as linustechtips forum, it's just specialised in mobile technology 
 

If one-tap apps don't work, you'll probably be working with ADB (Android Drivers for PC) and your recovery. You'll have to be committed. I don't have a Nexus 5x, so I can't help you with specifics, but I'd suggest looking at forum below. XDA has lots of Android development for the 5x and many people willing to help.

Sniped!!

Look the one with DRAM chip. Samsung 850 EVO for example, it's not that much more expensive yet it'll last longer and perform better than DRAMless counterpart.
 
I don't think you understand term 'budget'. 

@wkdpaul I'm still at home but sometimes I can't be on my desktop and maybe sometimes I will be outside my house. I am using OneDrive and it's actually working for me so far.
 
Thanks for the help guys!

It could potentially fix issues found in firmware, but confirm with the manufacturer's release notes. If it's a generic "performance improvements" or something that doesn't specifically address a problem, like "fixed a bug that causes data corruption in some cases", I wouldn't really bother with it.
Updating firmware normally won't erase the SSD, but there still a chance of data loss. For updating the firmware itself, check with the manufacturer if they have a tool. Samsung's SSDs are updated through their Magician software.
Not really.
Speak with the manufacturer to see if you can recover it or if they'll send you a replacement.
I don't know, but I imagine it shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes.
 
Bottom line: Unless you know you have a problem with your SSD, don't update the firmware.
 

There's really no reason to update the firmware unless you're having issues with it that can only be solved with a firmware update.

I really don't like the idea of merging the Windows Shell and for example EDGE or the Windows Store together. They should be separate programs in my opinion (and well, we know that Microsoft wouldn't allow you to unninstall them but at least they could add an option to Reinstall it...).
 
I'm sorry that I didn't answer your question, just needed to get this outta my mind.

I guess I just got unlucky. I think SSDs are reliable? According to some people? But I'm just afraid... I guess I'll try to buy the 120GB Samsung EVO SSD... if I can find it for a good price.

Everyone does things that looking back ended up being dumbt. The important thing is that you learn from your mistakes and try not to make similar ones in the future. In the long run, killing an ssd was a way better outcome than killing a gpu, or cpu. In looking at the website you posted they have 120 gb wd green ssds for a reasonable price too. I'd definitely take a look into those too. 

If you do end up getting another SSD maybe don't paint it and remove warranty void stickers. That way if the drive fails, it's covered under warranty.
