Upgrading the CPU on that would be throwing money away. he should wait until he can afford to replace the motherboard and CPU with something not 6 years old.

Create a MS account if you don't have one and link your windows 10 key to it. How to re-activate Windows 10 after a hardware change Otherwise you would end up having to call up MS to reactivate it. Yes, removing windows from the old HDD is mainly to conserve space and have a cleaner drive to...

Since it's using a Qualcomm SoC, I would think it would have all the regular radios. It might be split by GSM and CDMA providers though. Not a lot of phone support all 4 major carriers in the US. They're annoyingly still mostly split between AT&T/TMO versions and Verizon/Sprint.

Easiest way to do it would be to disconnect your boot HD from the computer , install the SSD and put a fresh install of windows on it. Then reconnect the old HD and move stuff over as necessary. Ideally you'd want to empty the old HD and format it, but you could just delete the windows...

Technically in Honecomb, Android 3.0, but that was tablet only. Once Google gave us on screen buttons and I had them on my Galaxy Nexus, physical buttons became a dealbreaker for me. I would not be able to go back to being able to deal with them.

Also keep in mind that you don't want to fill a SSD. SSDs slow down as they get close to full.

The side bezels on the Pixel are thin enough that I accidentally touch the screen just holding it. This thing looks like it would be even worse in that regard. Thin bezels are great up to a point. I hope the accidental touch rejection mentioned works well. Otherwise that looks pretty nice. That...

I'm aware of the separation of hangouts messages from SMS, a change that would have annoyed me if anyone I message uses both SMS and Hangouts instead of just one. This is 2 separate SMS threads for each person: one for before I was on Fi, one for after. The SMS threads from before have a grey...

Unless you're doing things that benefit from the hyperthreading on the i7, an i5 is all you'll need. Shit, im still using an i5-2500k, though it is starting to show its age.

Same here. The only phone that didn't feeil like that for me was my OPO, because of the textured back. After dropping that once, I put a case on it anyway. I just buy cheap, thin TPU cases to add a little protection from general wear and minor impacts. I've been using Google fi since Saturday...

So far I really like the Pixel. Build quality is very good. It feels solid and there is almost no play in the power and volume buttons. It is fairly slippery, but so is every phone compared to the textured back of the OPO. The bottom speaker is fairly loud and decent quality, but the right side...

Well, Fed Ex delivered early, so I'm heading out to pick up my Pixel. I'll be going to a hockey game tonight, which my OPO always struggled with camera wise. I figure that should be a decent test of the Pixel's camera. I'll post my impressions later tonight, let me know if you guys have any...

Absolutely. It's still a shitty thing if it eventually goers through, just shitty in a slightly different way.

The article doesn't do shit to inform you of that. I only knew it because I saw the Bloomberg article earlier and someone else mentioned it.

Keep in mind this is Time Warner the media company, not Time Warner Cable, which was recently bought by Charter.

Well, it looks like I lucked out. My Pixel has shipped and FedEx says it should arrive on Monday.

I already ordered the Pixel after the 10/4 event and I got a 26th-28th delivery window. I completely agree with anyone not wanting to upgrade from a 6P, as the pixel doesn't have enough over it unless you are desperate to get in on the Daydream VR. I mainly justified this to myself that I had...

I wouldn't quite call it atrocious, but it's very meh for me design wise. The overly large chin being the biggest offense. Hopefully they used all that space well. My Oneplus One is showing its age I want to get back to stock android (without having to root or flash roms), so I was willing to...

Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. I figured it would be total crap that I would ignore, but it ended up being one of the best parts of the game.

Despite Google claiming to have designed the phone themselves, it's a partially recycled design from HTC, who actually built it. It's loosely based on the HTC A9, which had physical buttons on that large chin.

You have to put a good chunk of blame on Syfy for that with the fucked up way they aired the show.

Best Buy employee took the Pixel for a spin for a bit. Had a brief AMA on reddit but has since deleted a lot of stuff. Somebody saved the youtube video showing of the EIS for video and uploaded it to Vimeo. Video quality isn't great because of the multiple times it's been converted, but the EIS...

Yeah, it was HP that did it. From what I remember, they used a security update to the firmware that made the printer report the cartridge as damaged if it wasn't an HP cartridge.

The big road trips were the best part of Top Gear and it looks like they're doing even more of them for this show. This will be glorious.

I just noticed that preordering the Pixel gets you the Daydream headset as well. Makes me feel a bit better about about giving in and ordering it.

Cell networks are still pretty shitty shitty where I live, so I have a habit of keeping lots of music and video on the device, plus I often use it as a substitute flash drive. 64 GB would have been fine, but 32 GB is just too small.

Made by Google You can preorder it now. Says it ships in 2-3 weeks. I decided to hell with it, I've worked enough overtime in the last 2 months to treat myself and went with a XL 128 GB version. 32 GB is just too little storage for me nowadays.

Nope, the Oneplus 3 is GSM only, so no Verizon or Sprint.

Free, unlimited storage on Google photos, Google assistant (likely coming to other phones as a replacement for Now), 24/7 live support, supposedly one of the best cameras ever (note they stated "Of the devices we tested") and it will work on any carrier.

Saying they are proud to work with Verizon again was pretty funny. They Galaxy Nexus was a clusterfuck on Verizon. I had the sprint version and I still had to root it to get the latest version of android.

They said you'll be able to pre order it today. Play store is down atm.

Was just about to post that. I'll probably buy it anyway, goddammit. They fucked up with the blue version though, having the front of the phone still be white looks pretty dumb.

Pretty much the same experience here. If it ships from NJ it's effectively 2 day shipping for me.

Work has been slow so I've managed to watch 2 episodes so far. Really liking it. It looks like episode 3 is going to be where all the good stuff starts.

I can completely understand people not wanting to upgrade from 7, as it's still perfectly fine. Make sure you go through the privacy options instead of doing the express setup though.

That is more along the lines of what I was expecting for pricing. The more recent rumors of the sailfish starting at $649 and things going up from there have me a bit worried though. Hopefully they end up wrong.

Well, if the pricing rumors prove to be true, I'll probably just pick up a 6P then. For $850 there better be something amazing in that phone for me to even consider it.

Ajin, Iron Blooded Orphans, and after watching that video, maybe Drifters.

91 Days, goddamn...

First guess would be heat. Open it up and blow out all the dust, maybe re do the heat sink. Might want to check temperatures as it's running.
