    My storage hard drive takes 8-10 seconds to load.

    I'm a complete moron when it comes to configuring storage drives. I installed a nice big SD hard drive and plugged in my old os drive as a new storage device. It all functions fine but the lag to access the storage drive is obviously due to something i did wrong. Essentially when i click on a...

    This might sound like a no-brainer: I really regret not using a screen protector.

    Apparently I convinced myself that Verizon hawking screen protectors with every single new phone must be some type of scam so I took to the internet to see what some people had to say about not using them. I came to a general consensus that a lot of users were doing just fine without them these...
