    DanMachi - Memoria Freese

    For anyone who's a fan of the anime ("Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon?"), a mobile game with all the same story lines/characters just launched in NA. Android and iOS. No idea if they play on the same servers. It's a fairly standard Japanese mobile game, so gatchas, tier lists...

    Windows 10

    <insert 100 pages of bitchfest from the old forums here> And now, back to your regularly scheduled bitching about Windows 10: Oh, man, am I ever pissed off right now. I didn't update my laptop fast enough and the version of Win10 on it is too old to boot. Just tells me that it can't verify the...

    What do you do?

    Copy of the old OP (with "how long" added): Reading through the other forums, specifically the job listings forum, and became decidedly curious. Since the forum is new, the community base has been around for quite some time, but there seems to be a desire to expand it; why not open the flood...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Another missing thread. I know that as a Canadian who has cut the cord (for many years now), there are a couple of tools that have been invaluable, but first and foremost is Unblock-Us (UnblockUs). I can't imagine being able to get all of what we need without using a service like theirs, and...

    Smartwatches / Fitness Trackers

    Let's start this up again, since it proved to be reasonably popular. Anyone buy in to the latest Pebble kickstarter? I have the Time Round and am still wearing it a year later, but its battery life is a bit of a killjoy compared to the others in their offering. And it sucks for health/step...

    Microsoft to can Technet Subscriptions

    From the great minds that brought you Xbone... http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-to-sh...ce-7000017541/ It's like they're screaming, through megaphones, "Please steal all of our software, small-time developers". They can't figure out a way to combat piracy (hint: lower prices and better...

    Pebble Watch

    So, anyone else get one of these off Kickstarter? Pondering downloading the SDK and doing some watchfaces (or even a simple stopwatch, timer, etc).

    Marvell SATA Chipsets

    Does anyone have anything good to say about them, at all? Mine just died a horrible death for some reason and I have to replace the motherboard because of it. Going forthis motherboardthis time around, mostly because it has eSATA that won't force me to use the Marvell controller at all, ever...

    Must Have iOS Apps

    Since it was suggested over in the Android thread, and it wasn't started yet, I'll start it. A couple of my must-haves are: Camera+ - Excellent photo editing camera app. Puffin - Browser that does Flash. Got tired of not being able to use a bunch of web sites, and this one does a decent job.

    isostick

    If anyone is in IT for a living (like me), you'll probably find the isostick to be an incredible time-saver. It's a USB drive that uses microSD and presents as both a USB stick and a USB CD drive. The BIOS lets you boot off an .ISO as if it were a true CD-ROM, so no more messing around with boot...

    Virtualization (VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V, ...)

    Since virtualization generally has its own unique set of problems (and solutions), and I'm always messing with VMs, I figured I'd start this one. I'm currently running a lab infrastructure at home using Hyper-V R2, and a bunch of miscellaneous VMs on some of my workstations using VMware...
