  1. Galaxy S20 Ultra estimated to cost Samsung $528 to produce

    $81 for a CPU? A CPU that samsung produces? $44 for RAM? RAM that samsung produces? These figures are inflated, they would be the prices if you were buying the components from a third party, cost is very different when you make the components yourself.

  5. Please help me identify what system partitions to delete

    Something is fishy here. The first post in the other thread says it’s a new laptop and questions why manufacturers ship outdated drivers but then it’s remembered it didn’t come with Windows installed?🤨 It came with something. And MS didn’t create that partition scheme. If it were me, I would clean install Windows 10 and level all the partitions, allowing it to partition it as expected.

    Which is one of the reasons why I'd wait a year to throw money at one.$1300 is just ridiculous for a phone.

  7. Well Microsoft did just say that Full telemetry will be required in order to upgrade to this build, thankfully it is optional though. Par for the course as an insider. This is nothing new, MS must be getting a lot of complaints of people not being offered/cannot install newer insider builds. That’s what can happen if you fiddle with telemetry as an insider.

  11. The slide out, I would like better, because it looks more "stable" for the display, instead of putting a crease down the middle when you fold it. Rolling it up I think would be less stressful on the display. The problem any fold/extendable display will continue to have, is that because of fold/rollable it will be more prone to damage, since you really can't put GLASS over the screen to protect it.

  14. DuckDuckGo launches Tracker Radar and open sources its code

    You must have meant "The privacy-minded search engine company". DuckDuckGo does not search for privacy or privacy-related issues; it searches the web while protecting the user's privacy. Compare with "image search engine", which searches images and "news search engine", which searches the news articles.

  17. The Batman (March 4th, 2022: WB/,DCEU)

    Ben was having issues with drinking and went into rehab after JL. The odds of doing his movie were slim and plus he didn't agree with the direction of the old WB brass, so he left. Those people are no longer in charge and it looks like things are getting back on track for now. As far as why "reboot" batman, well, we're not sure this is a true reboot, Batman at JL time was older and this Batman is in year 2 so these series of films could just as well be prequels to BvS and JL just like how the wonder woman movies are. I still expect the flash movie to happen but I think they want to get this out first, they can then do flash and maybe in the process rejig the timeline a bit, then do a few other movies and bring this Batman more inline with the rest of them. Only time will tell but I think that's what we're probably going to get going forward. Maybe the sequel to this Batman or the 3rd movie will bring him and the others together again.

  18. The 15-inch Surface Book 2 is now down to just $1,499

    Whenever talk of a new model Surface coming starts up then these types of sales from MS aren't long behind. They've been doing this type of sale for a long time. Clearing stock more or less with a Surface Book 3 on the way. Would be interesting if they release a AMD option like they did with the laptop.

  19. The Batman (March 4th, 2022: WB/,DCEU)

    They need to put the animation writers, in place of the live-action writers - the animated stories are amazing, Superman Red Son is sweet, as is pretty much every other animated DC property of the past 5 years. Loads of Batman animated stories, Superman, Justice League etc. I know the Marvel money is tempting, but Id be more than happy to never see a DC live action movie again, stick to the animated movies they are truly awesome.

  20. In my opinion, as voice assistants become more common, I feel Apple/Google/Amazon shouldn't be gatekeepers but more platform providers. I should be able to talk directly to the app, and only to the app. Amazon/Google/Apple can monetize giving direct access to apps

  22. 🧐 That’s not something I would ever expect to find in Settings. Try Computer Properties. MS has been steadily switching from legacy control panel to settings over the years...you haven’t noticed this? You are correct however, it's not going very fast. I'd expected everything that was in control panel to be in by now maybe I'm to positive...

  23. Please help me identify what system partitions to delete

    I agree with @adrynalyne here. It looks like a couple partitions got duplicated or something. That's more than the usual. Deleting a partition won't do you any good either as the Windows Disk management doesn't have a good way to re-expand the other partitions once you delete one so that space will remain unused unless you just put a partition back and assign another drive letter. If you haven't installed much yet or don't mind starting over I'd also suggest booting back into your Windows Install media, deleting all partitions when prompted, and letting the installer re-partition the drive as it sees fit. Usually it will only create 1 recovery partition, 1 EFI pertition (if UEFI BIOS), and the rest of the drive will be free use as the C drive.

  24. Galaxy S20 Ultra estimated to cost Samsung $528 to produce

    The Exynos version uses lower grade camera sensor (ISOCELL) instead of Sony's IMX, no way it costs $107 Also the CPU Exynos CPU has 2018 ARM Cortex-A76 not A77, should cost way less than $81

  26. Why new laptops ship with old drivers?

    Driver utilities are the worst thing ever. They look for any file that has an older date without knowing what or why. Did you actually visually inspect these drivers in device manager to confirm it? Who was the provider? The devices? Not all files get updated regularly because they are at stable, working versions. Driver utilities don’t care who the source of the newer file is, they will run with it. Even if it’s not designed or known to work with your machine.

  31. 5 reasons not to buy the Samsung Galaxy S20

    It's "just a phone"....but, the manufacturers play on the artistic/stylish/colorful bunch that have to hold a "work of art" in their hands. Marginal updated CPU, memory, drive space etc, but they make you pay for it. Prices of smartphones are WAY above what they should be, but until consumers say enough is enough, and say speed, display brightness are good enough for A PHONE, they will continue to pump out overpriced phones. When you see the average build cost, not counting over advertising at 300-400 dollars for these things, but they "command" upwards of 1100-1500 dollars or more (folding), it's nuts. But, it's your money, not mine. If that's what you want, feel free. I usually update AFTER a new one is released, and pick up last years "best thing" at a greatly reduced price!

  33. "Finally, Microsoft is also working on integrating Cortana more tightly with Teams" This right here, this is how you get people sticking with older versions of software. I disabled updates after their stupid outlook design change and am I glad I won't be getting this 'downgrade' when it gets released.

  34. Apple won't let them integrate with Siri. There were rumors it would, but outside of basic siri shortcuts it doesn't seem to be happening. There's more than one time I've pressed the siri button on my steering wheel and ask to play a song from spotify. It doesn't work. I'd be happy with a Hey Spotify option. It seems Apple is determined to make siri about as useless as possible. It won't work with non-home kit devices (which by far exceed any home kit offerings, and are constantly cheaper), non-apple music (pandora, spotify, etc..). Spotify integrates fine with Google Assistant though.

  45. Microsoft should really put a screen on the outside of the Surface Duo

    Yea, this is one of the best reasons for a smart watch or at least capable device like a FitBit, if you don't need a full smart watch. So to get the best utility from this two screened device its better two have yet one more device like a smartwatch? How is this scenario better than just having a normal smartphone where you can easily see the screen. Because you have two screens on your phone? You can multitask. You can drag stuff from a website on one screen to OneNote on the other. You can use the soft keyboard in landscape without covering up what you're doing. You can skim through emails without hitting "back" between each one. If none of the above interests you it just means that this isn't the device for you. Doesn't mean that others wont find it useful.

  49. Computer does not boot

    Problem got solved (not sure how I can close this topic) The fan turning off wasn't really a problem after all. new mobo had trouble finding my screen. Moving my gpu to the pciex16 instead of the 4 solved this issue. My mobo read that one standard and couldn't find the other, at least not easily. Fair warning though for the B450 tomahawk, I would not recommend using 3th gen amd processors with them. If you have to upgrade both mobo and cpu definitely go for a X570 at least. All my problems started with that mobo, it might work fine in the beginning but problems with the cpu are likely enough to occur. thanks for the help people.

  50. Windows 10 Dark Theme Customizations

    By MT4, if you're referring to MetaTrader - I did find this: MetaTrader 4 on Linux If that isnt what you meant, then I apologize. I am only a basic linux user, so I would not be a very good source, but there are plenty of nix gurus in here. EDIT: I just zoomed into your post, and saw that you were referring to MetaTrader - I am sorry, but I am unfamiliar with that software, and how it runs on linux. I am sure you know much more than I do about it.
