    I used 4K on a work's Lenovo Thinkpad P50. It drove me nuts when programs don't fully support it! 4K is not quite ready for computing. :(

  7. Yep. I finally R1:ASWS yesterday morning at 11:00 AM PST for $7.29. The local remodel(l)ed AMC theater only had about 20 people in the big room. They were fine and not annoying since we all sat far away from each other. The only issues was the digital screen (not bright and colorful like in the better far away theaters) and my old body (had to (pe/urina)e when the characters escaped on a ship to Darth Vader's landing. I still prefer watching at home so I can pause, rewind, take breaks at any time, not rush, etc. I still wanted to see this highly rated SW before the home release!

  8. Ah, like Motorola Razr flip phone with its included sliding physical keyboard, crappy flashless camera, etc.

  9. Was that a smartphone? If not, then don't smartphones use way more power than dumb phones?

    No kidding. I had multiple USB(2-3) flash sticks that didn't last ong. 2 (PNY & SP) died from installing and booting mac OS Sierra v10.12 onto it. And then I had rarely used flash sticks that died too with basic copied files. Are there any reliable USB flash sticks that will work long at all? My old USB1 64 MB flash sticks still work today!
