I've had mine now for 6 months and it just works very well, it's dual sim, designed for world market. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it won't do wifi calling and VoLTE in the UK due to not having UK firmware available. It's one of the few phones that bluetooth just works. Samsungs just fall over with bluetooth. People seem to complain about the screen but I have had no problems with mine, the dual camera works great for wide angle shots. It has inductive charging and USB-C fast charge form 10% to full in about 1hour 30. Audio is very good and it seems to find a usable signal where other phones don't. Ebay has them from $300 to $600.
https://phandroid.com/2013/01/09/hands-on-asus-transformer-aio-all-in-one-pctablet-running-windows-8-and-jelly-bean-video/ I saw it at a Gaming PC conference It's a real large size android tablet that talks wirelessly to a Windows PC giving you the tablet touch screen experience on both systems. When docked video from the PC is overlays with zero latency. When undocked it switches seamlessly to an android app that streams video from the PC side to the tablet.
When (and it will be a when not if) hackers figure out this back door. I can see a huge security nightmare ahead for German citizens. I think it's time to start preparing a class action lawsuit against the German government.
I think that the SyFy channel have got there first with Dimension 404 which seems very Outer limits / Twilight Zone. That said, if the show made it over here on Netflix I'd watch it
You can use it to distribute HDMI@1080p using cheap SDIHDMI adaptors that are available from Ebay. It should be noted that SDI doesn't support HDCP but you can get round this using cheap HDMI splitters also available from Ebay. There are also many cheap SDI cameras available also from Ebay that you can use as an SDI source.
My Gosh, you'd have thought that after the 1st time this happened they'd have gone out and bought a backup or set of backup HDD's. It's not rocket science. I wonder if the system is running XP?
We have 2 x 3D TV's in the house, both get used in 3D mode at least 10% of the time for watching Bluray content. I was planning an upgrade later this year. I'm disappointed:(
Having done windows 10 upgrades on all 6 PC's I have say that it doesn't always work out of the box so to speak. The last PC I upgraded didn't go as planned. Windows 10 decided not to install drivers for my GFX card and the sound card would hang making loud annoying sounds. But a visit to the nvidia website fixed the graphics problem and re-installing the sound drivers using the windows 8.1 driver worked a treat. Saying no to 90% of the questions is always a good idea (those are the questions that you get if you choose not to go with the express defaults) I had to re-install the win8.1 webcam driver too. But then everything worked. Startup is about 3 seconds faster 10 seconds as apposed to 13 seconds to boot (from grub boot screen to windows) - My PC is dual boot and is running an SSD. Copying from SDcard to my NAS (windows 8.1) 1.2MB/s (Windows 10) 56MB/s (linux 4.6) 48MB/s So that is well fast in windows 10. Games seem to work as well as on windows 8.1. It its annoying how microsoft do all they can to make you sign in with a micrsoft account. You can get round it by choosing Create account, then choosing don't use a microsoft account.
Capacitive input devices such as touchpad's and touchscreens have always been touch pressure sensitive. It's a very simple principle. The harder you press, the larger the contact area that your finger makes with the screen / touchpad. My PS2 / Serial interface'd ALPS Glidepoint from almost 20 years ago could do this. I wonder why it's taken so long for someone to realise this could be useful as yet another input vector. I should add that the Glidepoint never used this for input, it just showed a bigger circle on the task tray icon the harder you pressed. My guess is that windows 95 didn't know how to deal with pressure, though things like paint shop pro did work with a pressure sensitive wacom tablet.
Maybe apple don't use this feature, maybe they use a strain gauge in the glass? That said a strain gauge wouldn't work too well at the edge of the screen.
I think that anyone who thinks removing lane markings on the road needs to try driving on such a road in bad weather conditions late at night when they are tired and just want to get home.
With any luck they will not see that bend in the road and will drive off the cliff and die.
There we go problem solved. Do this to all parties campaigning for this very stupid idea and it won't be a problem for anyone else.
But seriously, I have lost count of the number of times I have been in the situation where visibility is reduced, its night and you can't see anything else accept the fog reflected in your headlights and those dashed lines, often there are no edge markings on the road or they have been covered by debris or just worn off.
Those dashed lines are all that you have to guide you along that road and all that you have to keep you on your side of the road.
Just as a side note, Aren’t those lines used by Tesla's autopilot feature?

I just logged in ok using Debian / Firefox.
I guess they fixed the issue??

Most of the spam that I get comes from hacked accounts where people have used crap passwords that are easily guessed.

I'll bet its for smell-o-vision or some such device.
