  1. Hey folks! I'm looking for a secondary phone, used for travelling. My requirements are as follows: The phone must run on Android 5+ or on CyanogenOS; The phone must be a great multi-tasker, opening an app or switching apps while several are open should be very smooth; The phone must be able to play games (let's take Pokemon Go as example) without stuttering; The phone must be able to last at least two days of non-active use, think of opening a website or performing a few translations per hour and then going back to lockscreen; The phone's build quality must be decent, and must at least be water resistant; The phone's viewing angle must be at least decent, and should not be bother by sun glare. The price of the phone is not very important, as long as it makes sense. Also not that I do not care much for the latest features such as having a fingerprint- or iris scanner and nor do I care much for any other gimmicky features that can certainly be useful, but are no-where near game changers. Of course, the cheaper the better, but do not let price be the target. For reference, I currently own a Lumia 950, and this phone would easily match my requirements. However, it runs Windows Mobile 10, and as much as I love it, I do need some Google apps that are simply not available for Windows-based phones. I hope you guys can help me out a bit, because the amount of Android devices available is simply getting me confused.
  2. I honestly assumed it would do that automatically, as that's how my macbook pro running Yosemite re-installed itself. Seems Snow Leopard does not perform a clean install (even if you tell it to): you have to wipe out the hard drive yourself first! I have multiple Apple, Android/Google and Microsoft devices haha, but I do prefer Apple for my day to day software development.
  3. I created a bootable USB with a Snow Leopard image for an old laptop and when I boot the macbook and hold down alt to show the boot options, I can boot from the USB. After selecting to install Snow Leopard onto the internal hard drive, everything seems to work. It takes about 40 minutes to complete and then reboots to... -and here is where it's fucked up- the desktop as it was before re-installing. In other words: NOTHING HAPPENED. What am I doing wrong?
  4. Ended up downloading a crack with some activation tool which I used to remove all traces of Office, it worked! No restore points
  5. There's no folder, unless it has an obscure name I cannot figure out.
  6. So I was installing Office 2010 and while installing... the computer rebooted. I cannot continue the installation nor undo the installation, because everything has corrupted. I assume there's some registry keys and stuff lying around, but would anyone know how to find the ones I should delete so that I can install Office again?
  7. Sadly a lot of programs she needs use the pesky Silverlight, so I had to rule out chromebooks :-(
  8. Unless you use an APU, do not overclock RAM.
  9. I run the latest developer preview and I must say it is going in the right direction once again. Yes, it is buggy, but most bugs are minor and are no issue for techies like us. There is one issue that does annoy me, and that is the complete freezing at random times (every few hours), probably because my drivers are not made for Windows 10. The only thing I strongly dislike is that the integrated search also searches Bing, and cannot be turned off at this point. You can edit the group policies, but they are currently ignored...
  10. Hmm so what's the most important difference between i3, pentium, celeron and amd? and I agree, 15" would indeed be a better size!
  11. The most expensive we can go is 400 euro, which is about 450 us dollar. She will be using it for school (no stressful programs like photoshop, all she does is work with many documents, presentations and spreadsheets) and to watch movies and series, so that is why it must contain a DVD drive. So I think this is a pretty decent laptop: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/423658/lenovo-ideapad-g70-70-(80hw003enx).html And I also noticed this one, which would be my second choice: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/418138/packard-bell-easynote-le69kb-1243nl81/specificaties/ This is a list of all possible choices: http://tweakers.net/categorie/496/laptops/producten/#filter:TYyxCsMgFEX_5c4OvjyNPj-gW6eOpYMEKUIokpRSEvLvVQLF6XDPgbujxGe65S0hkNYKZclTusYvAst_5letts61pOmS53daVoQdRI4bP3FGuMMOjMehwNZLp3kUf3pjxs47Nh6qQc7MYrpMWnTNAzlTQdq3k-P4AQ Can you guys give me some feedback?
  12. On a forum like this I would expect that kind of information to be unnecessary haha, we are both 'online' on all devices. (none is ever 'busy')
