T-mobile wifi calling...how well does it work?

WiFi calling is coming on Verizon I think, last I heard mid-2015? You can already handover VoLTE video (maybe voice as well?) calls from 4G over to WiFi, just can't originate calls on WiFi yet unfortunately. If you were wanting the feature now and had other reasons you'd like to switch, though...

Bad OTG cable or missing a setting?

What file system are the flash drives using? I was playing around with it a bit on my Droid Turbo and OTG only seemed to support USB flash drives formatted in FAT32. Not surprisingly NTFS was a no-go, but unfortunately no exFAT support either it didn't seem. Which means you'd be limited to the...

How is Google supposed to force manufacturers and carriers to update their users phones to the latest Android?

[ET] Google throws nearly a billion Android users under the bus - refuses to patch

As others have pointed out, Google has already patched this in Android 4.4+. Now, if device manufacturers and carriers don't want to bother validating and pushing newer versions of Android that include these security fixes out to their customers, that's on the manufacturers and carriers, not on...

Seriously, Amazon? I mean....WTF?

Isn't there usually a pretty prominent disclaimer on the product page or during checkout that an item does not qualify for their standard return policy? I'd swear I've seen that before. Or maybe that's NewEgg or another site I'm thinking of. Anyway agree with others about it kind of being an...

FDA to let gays donate blood

Yeah can't really see if making much difference, anyone could have lied before. And screening is very reliable but isn't 100%, which is why groups with rates of HIV, hepatitis, etc. that are significantly higher than the general population are prohibited from donating. As long as you have...

PC Powers On, CPU Fan Spins, No Beep, No Video

If you're not getting a beep sounds like motherboard isn't even POSTing. I suspect it probably isn't the video. Even if onboard video is bad, it should still complete POST and beep, you should hear hard drive activity when it's booting up into Windows, etc. Maybe bad power supply, bad...

Ted Cruz goes full retard: Net Neutrality is Obamacare for Internet

I can understand private ISPs concerns about them not being able to compete on an even level with a publicly owned provider that is potentially funded at least in part by local taxes and it being unfair. But at the same time, if the incumbent ISPs are unwilling to provide what customers want and...

Ted Cruz goes full retard: Net Neutrality is Obamacare for Internet

Funny thing is where I live there's actually a local rural electric coop that recently started offering FTTH up to 100Mbps outside city limits. Inside the city however it's a different (municipal) power company and fastest option we have here is 50Mbps cable that costs more than the 100Mbps...

Is it OK to Declaw a Cat?

Not to mention removing an animals reproductive organs and completely altering their hormonal balance is probably going to have a far greater behavioral impact than any "psychological damage" due to onychectomy. That's one of the whole benefits of spay/neuter (no heat, spraying, etc.). That...

Do you hate having to go to work?

Actually enjoy it quite a bit. Work remotely in the field so can pretty much set my own hours as long as I'm getting my 40+ a week in and getting my work done, supervisor doesn't really micromanage and care when you work. Easy to just take an hour or whatever here or there if I have an...

Samsung 840 Evo Performance Restoration Tool

I was trying with 1.0 initially, but did download 1.1 a few days ago and no luck with it either unfortunately. Pretty sure it should be on an SATA port controlled by the Z68 chipset, I actually don't think my particular board (ASUS A8Z68-V LX) has any additional SATA ports controlled by a third...

Is my employer expecting too much?

A sales engineer typically has a technical or engineering background and have a pretty in-depth understanding of the product they're selling. Pretty sure these positions usually require a bachelors degree in engineering or a related field as well. Not necessarily saying this is the case with...

Samsung 840 Evo Performance Restoration Tool

Anyone else having trouble getting the Performance Restoration Tool to recognize their drive? Tried the Windows tool with my EVO connected to an ASUS Z68 chipset board and wasn't detecting it, tried switching from the Intel AHCI driver to Microsoft driver but still no go. Tried the bootable DOS...

Catcalling

The baby's, damns, etc. are weird and inappropriate, but seemed like half the comments were just people being friendly (hi/good day/good evening/whatever) or beggars getting ready to accost her for money (god bless... hey could you spare some change?).
