    Phone options for replacing 160GB iPod Classic?

    I'd like to be able to store all of my music (~150GB) on my phone, but as far as I can tell my only option is to wait for Apple to (hopefully) expand the storage capacity on the iPhone 7 since the 6s are limited to 128GB. Is it likely for them to do so? I know if you look at the history of...

    Using unsecured Wi-Fi for long-term use?

    I just moved into a new apartment and someone in the building has an unsecured connection which I’ve been using with no issues (except slower speed) since I moved in a couple days ago. I’m wondering what risks I would be taking if I was to use this connection instead of just setting up my own...

    Lenovo Y480 laptop constantly losing WiFi connection

    This! UPDATE, problem solved: Seems to be working fine after manually downloading the latest WiFi driver directly from Intel's site as opposed to using the auto-update feature through Windows, which falsely stated it was updated when it wasn't (I realized it said the "latest" drivers were...

    Lenovo Y480 laptop constantly losing WiFi connection

    Windows 8.1, everything's updated including the latest drivers. For awhile it was happening 1-2x per day, but now it's happening constantly, to the point where I almost can't even use the internet. I've called Lenovo tech support and after installing some updates and basic troubleshooting they...

    Thinking of making the big switch (PC-->Mac), have some unanswered questions

    I realized recently I've been dealing with the same issues since Windows 95, and Windows 8 has been the nail in the coffin for me. Forgive me if these are obvious questions. 1) Will there be a significantly less number of random freeze-ups, slowdowns, and error messages that I am constantly...

    Losing my smartphone virginity - T-Mobile, Virgin, Boost, or MetroPCS?

    With my employer discount I can get the $70/mo 4G unlimited everything T-Mo plan for ~$65 after taxes. OR I can go with one of the prepaid companies and pay $40-50/mo where they give you very limited 4G and is dropped down to 3G after a low data point is reached. I don't plan on heavy internet...

    NVidia 3D Vision 2 w/ laptop switching video cards

    I have a Lenovo Y480 laptop which switches between its Intel onboard video card and NVidia 650M when it needs the extra power. I'm trying to use an NVidia 3D Vision 2 kit along with my 120hz monitor (Acer GD235HZbid) to play Diablo 3 but can't get it to work because according to NVidia, the...

    I'm an idiot. Turns out it was the USB receiver for my wireless headset.

    Blank screen at startup?

    I've been getting this screen when I turn on my computer, it lasts for 2-5 min before Windows starts up. Is this a sign of hard drive failure?

    Playing Diablo 3 in 3D?

    This isn't possible on an AMD card? The comp I'm using (temporarily) for D3 has one.

    Combining cell phone with VOIP?

    Porting your # with Google Voice costs $20 and cancels your cell phone service. They have some sort of mobile integration with Sprint but I don't have Sprint. Is my best option making a new # with GV and then changing my mobile # to match it?

    Playing Diablo 3 in 3D?

    I've read that playing the game in 3D is amazing and I'd like to try it out but don't want to shell out $500 for a 120Hz monitor + NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 before testing it out first. The local PC bangs don't have 3D kits and I don't know anyone personally who has it so I'm all out of ideas. I go...

    Combining cell phone with VOIP?

    Here's what I'm looking to do, not sure if it's possible: Have it set up so whenever someone calls my cell phone it rings on my cell and on my computer, and I can answer and make calls from both using the same number. Is it possible to do this, preferably for free?
