    Windy is much better anyways. I switched to Windy after IBM and TWC ruined Wunderground.

  4. Interested to see the Money feature. Microsoft Money was so much better than Quicken all those years ago until they killed it. Doubt this will come even close to comparing, but I'm curious to check it out.

    Yeah, but Samsung PR obviously tries its best to convince people otherwise. And they actually succeed, like this article clearly shows.

    err.. what? Samsung's implementation of "Quantum Dot" is not really Quantum Dot. It's still using an LCD panel.

  11. "Although Apple promised to pay employees while they are not working, some workers informed Bloomberg that they were being urged by their managers to participate in the program" This is what I don't get, the company is paying you, why do you think you deserve a free holiday to get paid and do literally nothing? Same story in the UK, people will be getting 80% of their wage paid for by the government and not working which is fine to me, but then you get these ungrateful that are not staying at home or think it's a holiday to go and do whatever they please with... No, it's a pandemic emergency, follow the rules, and if your company is still paying you and they ask you to do something within your job role that's safe to do - FROM HOME, what valid reason do they have not to do it?

    I did some digging. It seems that Samsung are moving the QD tech to use OLED panels instead, hence the shutting down of their LCD factories.

  23. I find it fascinating that Neowin is willingly reporting on and linking to material that can be pirated. Seriously, read the reddit post where he is thinking about uploading an entire episode. Looks like Google removed his clip upload from drive as well. That would would earn any member a warning and post removal, if not an outright ban.

  24. Apple acquires Dark Sky Weather app, kills Android version

    It's a shame to see how crap wunderground has became. Hadn't used it in quite some time through the API and tried it, was greeted with the error, had a look and it was basically people complaining that the new service was worthless.

  29. The Charge 4 is Fitbit's first fitness tracker with a built-in GPS

    Do they actually have the Pulse Ox this time? I've had my Charge 3 since launch, and still don't have that feature. I'm not getting another Fitbit product ever - worst support ever, and they just lied about the Pulse Ox feature on the Charge 3.

  32. Today is World Backup Day: Don't put it off, backup your data today

    Only 30% of people? LOL ... It's gotta be much more in my personal experience with the average person. 1 in 10? It seems a bunch much. I have more than 10 and non of mine get a virus every month. I have all my really important files backed up on 3 disconnected USB Flash Drives and 3 WD Red Hard drives. One of the 3 flash drives is in a safety deposit box and 1 of the WD red drives is in a safety deposit box. They get rotated frequently. 1 of the hard drives is inside a file server and gets backed up to nightly. It also does an online backup nightly as well. Quickbooks Gets backed up nightly to a usb flash drive and to a file server which then gets backed up that same night to another hard drive. It also does an encrypted backup online. THen once a week it gets backed up to the 2 disconnected usb flash drives. Then once a month it gets backed up to one of the 2 WD red drives.

  33. Microsoft Edge is getting vertical tabs, Password Monitor, and more

    Tabs aside is 'collections' You can save all your open tabs in a window to a new or existing collection. Tab reviews is weird cause it is in Chrome for ages. Don't know why it is not in Edge. I want that custom background for the new tab page they have been talking about 'coming september 2019' Probably because it's NOT in Chromium by default. OR if it IS in chromium by default, Microsoft may have removed it initially to build in other Edge features. Chrome's Tab preview is a trash implementation. Not stable, uses alternative rendering crap, show and doesn't offer real-time functionality, making it significantly less useful. Microsoft wants a seamless rendering implementation like EdgeHTML; however, this is hard to tap into without a consistent OS accessible composer, which is a problem outside Windows and osx.

  34. Which MS Office for a one off purchase?

    Thanks. Googling comparisons between 2010 and 2019 i'm not really sure what 2019 gives me over 2019 other than 'new stuff' that i actually probably wont need based on what i use the office suite for. If i was a suit & tie business guy then maybe but i'm not. On that note it may be better then that i just stick with 2010 but i thought i'd at least look in to an alternative. If i can acquire 2019 cheaply like i did with 2010 then maybe but otherwise probably not. Regards the support, i'm not totally sure why that'd be a big issue for someone like me. I just create a few documents and spreadsheets here and there. Perhaps it would become an issue if i was using Outlook which i may or may not do when i shift to W10. I'm more than happy with Windows Live Mail and since Thunderbird looks a lot like WLM, i'll probably opt for that. Still, thanks for the feedback.

  39. Microsoft Edge is getting vertical tabs, Password Monitor, and more

    Tab Preview is a must. I'm not so sure why Edge team is taking too much time to implement this one, while Vertical Tabs which is a significant UI change is coming soon. Tab Previews can work for both top and vertical tabs or even if they ever make a Tablet Mode UI for Edge. About Set Tabs Aside, I do miss this but since Collections gain a menu to add tabs in a collection, this essentially replaces Set Aside Tabs now, but Microsoft so far hasn't officially confirmed this. It just lacks a dedicated button like on Set Tabs Aside which I think they should put it as an option and market that this feature exist. Other Edge Legacy features that is hugely missing are the Windows Ink for Web pages, and Windows Timeline support.

    Nice. This is proof that the combination of basing on Chromium, but having the flexibility to enhance outside of the rendering portion works as a model.

  47. Which MS Office for a one off purchase?

    I probably would stay with Office 2010 ... Based on your experiences and usage ... it does not seem that you would need any thing more than Office 2010 ... The only issue about which I would be concerned is that all support for Office 2010 ends later this year ... If you must upgrade to a perpetual version for Windows 10 I would recommend Office 2019 ...

  49. Interesting. I wonder if it's still considered piracy if you have the DVD collection (paid for) and then remaster them to 4K yourself (I'm thinking of Stargate SG1) and don't distribute it.
