So I brought myself a Linx 7 over Black Friday (I didn't need the Office 365 sub so I essentially got the tab free), and I'd like to speed it up a touch, it's not bad browsing normal websites, but I've found it a bit laggy when handling streaming video.

 

I have a high speed MicroSD card in the tablet, and I know that it meets the readyboost specification, but because Windows is using the MicroSD adapter like a local disk rather than a removable disk, the option to use readyboost isn't available. Is there anything I can do to get Windows to allow me to use readyboost?

From what I know, no.  (It didn't work on my Encore Mini either.)

 

Depending on how they built it, you'd probably be better off with the Intel video drivers instead of the OEM provided ones.  (I know on my Encore Mini it was a bit of a mess in that regards.  I sold it to someone though.)

Yeah, I'm going to use driver cleaner or DDU to uninstall the old drivers completely, then I'm going to install the newest ones from the Intel website (which IIRC are fully W10 ready). Sigh. Guess I'll just have to do a little tweaking, see if I can save a bit of memory. I essentially got it free, and I will say this much: the browsers load pages much faster than Android browsers do.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
    • Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
