If audio/video playback is continuously done using VLC Media Player with volume higher than 100% over a period of time, even if the volume is kept at a lower level later, sound would be distorted. This distortion is permanent.
If you are using VLC or any other amplification software, ensure that the:
Update the device drivers from Dell Drivers & downloads website. Installing Microsoft Windows from Ubuntu will use only the native device drivers.
So, contrary to your statement, yes, Apple managed to hit the bar set by their competitors.
At the prices Apple charge for their laptops I expect them to far exceed the bar set by their far cheaper competitors.
He said Dell and HP. So not really cheaper. Oh, and of course Dell claims that it happens because you used something like VLC, which voids you warranty (at least for the speakers). So the repair is certainly more costly to you.
How about hooking more than one charger to a MBP blowing some type of circuit so no charging will ever will happen again? There is a YT vid on this where someone hooks up multiple chargers, and the MBP just stops charging for good, from any charger.
Well, there's a Google+ post from a Google engineer damaging his Chromebook Pixel with a faulty USB-C cable, but no video that show what you describe. So par for the course at St. Apple Hater.
Your MacBook Pro draws power from only one power supply, even if more than one is attached—so using multiple power supplies will not speed up charging.
If you connect multiple power supplies to your MacBook Pro, the one that provides the most power will be used, regardless of the order in which you connected them.
Can't we have one article without a end-of-the-world Trump thread? Or, better yet, without Trump at all? This article has nothing to do with him or American politics.
Well, he sure as hell won't allow any standard that wasn't developed in the US. So yes, it has to do with him.
I think that in Europe we have more than 20 different plugs for mains connections. EV Chargers are a good occasion for industry and EU bureaucracy to bring into use a dozen more plug formats, and for sure it will not be missed.
Did you just actually blame the different local power plug standards on EU bureaucracy? You Brexiters have no shame nor brain.
I tested the theory several times through the election process. "How do I vote" would immediately fill in "for Hillary Clinton" and the name "Donald Trump" would not appear even when you typed in "Donald Trum".
That's because Google's AI already figured out that somebody else was voting for Trump on your behalf.
Now go tell DELL you want a discount on your new computer because you have a 2 year old DELL. I can hear the laughter from here.
I actually have a friend that states he always gets a discount from Dell when he uses a line that he's a long term Dell customer and wonders if they have any discounts for that.
Now whether or not these were discounts readily available regardless, I don't know.
DELL always has some discounts - that's why you can never be sure what any of their models will cost tomorrow. He doesn't get them because he buys new shit every year, he gets them because he asks what discounts they have right now. Just ask him if he ever got an discount on exactly the machine he wanted to buy. Or if he ever waited a few days an still got the same (or better) offer for the same machine.
I know quite a few women (northern AZ) who voted for Donald of Orange, and overwhelmingly they were local business owners - the same demographic who have historically supported previous Republicans.
Which is quite hilarious, as A) he was running as a non-"previous" Republican, and B) in his business life always acted hostile towards local business owners. But hey - once you find one "good" reason to vote Trump, you can ignore all the bad ones, because sooooo huge.
Because the WSJ needs to make money, and producing an article about future Apple products is always a good way to that, actual facts be damned. So stop posting here and go to the WSJ site to make their goal.
They could have trade-in programs, w/ the replacement being heavily discounted. The price premium of the obsolete boxes should more than cover the discounts
They have such a program. It's called ebay.

It will be surprising if it isn't Trump.
Clinton, Obama and Bush were all selected after they were first elected. Trump has been at least as newsworthy as them this year.
And imagine when the Electoral College elects somebody else...
"man" because this "person" crap is another piece of unnecessary PC
No it isn't. If you're awarding a 'man of the year' award, doesn't it sound strange to give it to a woman? Isn't that because the word man, means male? What's wrong with wanting to name an award that's open equally to men and women, without resorting to calling it "man or woman of the year"?
And that's ignoring the winner of 1982. Spoiler: The Computer.

You don't actually need a warehouse of old hard drives. You just replace the drive with a current model.
Sure. Unless the interface changed too much for it to work,

IMHO Assange is a good candidate for THIS year.
Why? He only played a minor part in this whole Clinton Email Kerfuffle.
When Trump wins Man of the Year, expect that a bunch of idiots will equate the two.
Some of his supporters already do. So yeah. Idiots.

I bet you carry your "shitty" phone in your boxers.
Right, like a watermelon seed vs a flat slice of carrot.
Everybody knows a watermelon seed basically sticks to your finger the grip is so good.
You are holding your phone like a flat slice of carrot?
Why would I want my phone screen to be curved?

What are they supposed to do, buy all the parts manufacturers including Samsung and Intel?
Which is exactly what vendors who provide long-term support do. That is, they stockpile spare parts, they don't buy the manufacturers.
You claim that DELL, HP and others each have a storehouse with CPUs, hard drives etc. all at least 7 years out of production.
I can still get parts and service for a PC over a decade old. Crapple is shit.
Replacing the motherboard with something roughly the same size doesn't count.
The "professional" part of the MacBook Pro is just the console is pretty good for SSH'ing into a Linux box...
Which you'll need to do because Linux doesn't support the graphics card.
all of which are older than 6 years old, and running OS's that are more than 6 years old (Windows 7 for the workstations)
So, your bashing Apple customers while running an unsupported Windows OS!? baw haw haw...
Windows 7 is still supported until 2020
"Extended" support. Which means less support, not more, in case you are confused.

"$870 over two years is just over $1/day. Most people spend more than that on a coffee or newspaper. Which one offers more value?"
You're right. Newspapers have real news while smartphones have fake ones, which are much funnier.
Even if you exclude tabloids from newspapers, not really.
A newspaper. Maybe then you will stop staring at your fucking phone and read a little about life.
Yeah, people running around on the streets looking at their newspapers will make the world a much safer place.
Charities wouldn't be necessary if government properly taxed the wealthy and provided a universal basic income.
Yes, because the only purpose of a charity is to give money and food away. /sarcasm
Yeah, exactly, they are there to funnel other people's money to politicians who can help you.
It will be surprising if it isn't Trump. Clinton, Obama and Bush were all selected after they were first elected. Trump has been at least as newsworthy as them this year.
And imagine when the Electoral College elects somebody else...
Considering previous winners (Hitler) and the current roster of candidates, why don't they just call it Cunt of the Year?
IOW Trump.
