I'm not up-to-date about tablets nor do I use one much, but my parents recently bought one and it seems like there's an issue with the touch screen. If I were to slightly poke the back leathery part (not hard) the touch screen intercepts it as if I were touching the screen, so is the back leathery part that sensitive? Because it's just unacceptable if I were to have it laying on my palm or thigh

Here's a video of it: https://dl.dropbox.c...0746/Nexus7.3gp

I have the touch feedback enabled, under debug mode, where it displays a white circle when an action occurs (pressing, click, etc...). It only happens to the left side and also, it some times randomly "clicks" even when I'm not touching it at all.

Forgot to mention, it just came out of the box so it's brand new.

Hah. Well I think they only way you're going to prove that is by exchanging it ;) Aside from searching the Internet for others who have this problem. Perhaps it's wide spread? Personally I haven't heard of any such issues with the Nexus 7.

Definitely hardware defect. RMA it.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
