As far as I know you'd lose the number when you cancel your service. I imagine you'd have to port the number over to a WiFi calling service like Google Voice or somesuch to keep it. I'm not terribly familiar with those, as my only experience with WiFi calling is using it in Hangouts on a few...

That's correct. As long as the WiFi calling app you use isn't dependent on your carrier you're good. You could use the Hangouts dialer for WiFi calls if you want. The phone will keep functioning just fine, it just won't have any access to the cellular network.

If you've got Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread installed, make sure to turn on unread count badges in the Nova Launcher settings. In the upper right corner is a toggle that needs to be enabled for it to start working. For battery %, go to Settings>Status Bar>Battery Status Style and change it...

Oh I know getting rid of time zones would never happen, though I imagine they have to be a bit annoying for people who live on the edge of one. My perspective on it is a bit warped though, since I don't give a shit about what time the sun rises and sets.

I've worked nights for almost 17 years now, so what time everyone else is on doesn't bother me. Making sure I'm paid correctly when the time changes, having to deal with coworkers showing up late the next morning and other little things associated with DST just rustle me. Hell, I'd be happy...

Daylight savings sucks, we need to end that shit.

Then you're out of luck for a free genuine copy. Head over to reddit and you can get a key cheaply.

If you've gone through the upgrade process before on the same hardware that how it's supposed to work. I did the upgrade then wiped my machine and reinstalled from USB with no issues, but it doesn't seem to always work for everyone.

Win 10 still has IE as well.

The biggest complaint I get from folks after they do the upgrade is their sound not working any more. Seems like a lot of hardware manufacturers are still slacking on drivers despite windows 8 drivers working most of the time.

The part that article doesn't mention is that the people getting that are the ones that opted in to the upgrade then decided to cancel the install. Though I have seen people saying that the Win 10 install was checked off in the optional updates in Windows Update despite not having checked it off...

I use that same Zalman mic with my headphones, works great.

I replaced my old Logitech G11 with a Corsair STRAFE about 2 months ago and it's fantastic. I got some o-rings for it and it's not terribly loud, though still louder than the G11. It uses Cherry reds so the actuation force is pretty low, but more importantly it provides an even amount of...

Just saw it tonight, theater was almost full but it was cheapass tuesday, so it was only $6. I ended up reading the book first and I thought they did a great job adapting it. I understand them making the end a bit more "Hollywood", but one thing about it bugged me more than that. I really...

It's not like you can't get them anywhere else though. I doubt this is lawsuit worthy, though I won't be surprised if someone tries. I can only see this as a stupid move for Amazon. It won't increase sales of Fire TV/Stick, may cost them a little consumer goodwill, and will drive a little...

Well, if you want to get a Nexus Player, Apple TV or Chromecast from Amazon, better do it soon. Amazon, Gunning For Award, Will Be Banning Chromecast And Nexus Player Listings From Its US Store Amazon says it's to avoid confusion because those don't do prime video, so what about the...

If I hadn't already been sold on this before, that interview would have sealed it. I get the feeling that this is going to be the kind of realistic sci-fi movie that I had hoped Interstellar would be. Only question is do I read the book before or after?

I'm not sure which rustles my jimmies more: having to do somebody else's job because they didn't do it right, or because they didn't bother to do it at all.

Almost every review I've seen about the nexus player was disappointed in it and said the Shield TV was vastly superior, but it's also 3x the price. It's also just an Android TV device, not the full version of android, so it just does video and whatever games that are Android TV compatible. It...

It would make sense that it would, since that's part of the Fi stuff IIRC.

No idea on how easy the Fire tablets are to root, but I'm hoping the $50 one gets root quickly. I've been toying with the idea of putting one in my car. The amazon appstore isn't bad. You can check it out yourself by sideloading it on any android device. They've got most, if not all, of the...

The guys behind the recent Shadowrun games are working on something. Hopefully they can deliver. BATTLETECH - Tactical 'Mech Combat Returns to the PC. Coming to Kickstarter Fall 2015.

They said they same damn thing with Skyrim and it turned out to just be Gamebryo with a new coat of paint. I'm expecting more of the same.

Given that Bethesda is still using Gamebryo, I imagine there will be plenty of mods well before they are officially supported.

Picked up Shadows, but Hammerwatch is on sale on the humble store for $1.99.

Just do the custom setup instead of express settings and read through all the options. There's some data gathering stuff that's enabled by default and I shut that all off on setup. I also disabled cortana because when I search stuff on my computer I don't want to be searching the internet at the...

The OPO has better battery life, but that's about it. On the other hand, the X does quick charge. My suggestion would be the X.

Fire sale in preparation for the next Nexus phones I'd guess. Camera is is decent based on what I've heard, with low light being the usual weak point. IIRC it's the same sensor as on my OPO, with OIS added. I'm not a camera guy though, as taking pictures is the one thing I do even less that I...

If the N6 is something you'd consider, it's now $350-400 on amazon.

As if I didn't need another reason to hate Time Warner, they had some stupid fuck knock on my door loud enough to wake me up at 5 pm today (I work nights). They left behind a generic TW business card of some Direct Sales Representative and had written "waive old bills" and "free install" on it...

Sadly it was nothing that interesting. It was asking a patient if she goes to office A or office B. The first answer was her Dr's name, to which I replied that he works out of both offices, so which location does she go to. That's when she answered yes. I had to as the question 2 more times with...

Surprisingly, I don't think I've ever had someone respond to an either/or question with no. It's always yes or some other invalid answer, but never no.

WHEN I ASK YOU AN EITHER/OR QUESTION, THE CORRECT ANSWER IS NEVER YES!

You're not missing anything, that's exactly how I did a clean install on my desktop. I did buy a retail copy for a customer and that was just a key that you use with the download from MS, but if you do the upgrade there is no key.

Well, it's over and I think they did a good job with the ending. Hannibal and Will finally got to kill together. Also, make sure you watch past the credits.

That's the complete opposite of what I've head from people upgrading from 7. Did you just do the upgrade or did you do a clean install afterwards. I have been seeing problems after upgrades, especially driver issues. Many device manufacturers seems to be almost as bad about updating drivers as...

The problem with that is that (unless the explanations of the process I've seen are wrong) he has to go through the upgrade process in the W10 upgrade program to have his hardware authorized for it. Once he has done the upgrade he can do a clean install from a USB and windows will automatically...

That error code means the download is corrupted, this happened to me on my first attempt to upgrade as well. This is especially unfortunate for you since you have such a minuscule monthly cap. This is the fix: 1. Go into "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete everything in...

Upgrading through the app actually uses windows update to do it, so check there and it will tell you it it's done downloading it. Burning 5GB of bandwidth sounds odd though. I upgraded from W7 home and the download was just under 3GB for me. I suppose drivers could account for some of it, but...
