That is because the phone has theft prevention feature which needs internet connection to know whether the phone was not stolen before allowing the user to bypass the theft check forever with a new rom

It does happen, Galaxy S8+ and S9+ is much narrower than iPhone 7+/8+ for to the point that it's actually easier to hold the phone.

My point is that it has been done, repeatedly, by many manufacturers over many years. You can find a YouTube channel called Dave2D, the guy reviews Windows and Mac laptops and always takes the cover off and shows upgrade options, most 15&qu

Check out the XPS 15 9570 (2018 version), it has wi-fi card, SSD and RAM all slotted and standard form-factor. And every other part is cheap and available to be bought and replaced if not by you, then by anyone who has the skill. Apple and

Unless you'll get one of the defective units, you'll love your Dell. The plasticky coating os quite durable and it doesn't feel cold to the touch like the aluminium body of a MacBook. Still has sharp edges IMO. If you'll

I feel you about Keep, but it looks like Microsoft's Sticky Notes will soon get an update with syncing and a mobile phone client - https://winbuzzer.com/2018/09/03/microsofts-sticky-notes-3-u... so that&

Don't have anything to say about your comparison, seems fair to me. One thing I personally add to it, though, is the price difference for the replacement keyboard and the difficulty of replacement procedure. Any keyboard may fail due t

A very good point! I was mostly addressing the crowds that didn't understand what this is all about at all. Frankly, once I understood what terror being a woman in a public space can sometimes be, I was baffled that it is allowed to ha

Many comments here have concern about this being enforced inappropriately because it's hard to distinguish between an ok situation and a real harassment. I'd say for me it's real clear where the line goes: consent. If a perso

You can actually undervolt and underclock any Intel CPU, Unlocked ones are just unlocked in the "up" direction.

They support the integration. Dell support will support it and if something is not working it will be covered by warranty the same way Windows is.

Microsoft Authenticator is another alternative and it doesn't need anything (plus is handy for MS 2fa). There's DUO. And I'd wager there are countless other apps as the standard is really simple.

But it's only going to get better from then on it's a first revision of a product with a novel tech inside it. First SLC SSDs had abysmal performance numbers and density by today's standards.

I see it as a disk drive where memory mapping is a NOP and its performance close to RAM. So an .exe starting from this disk already has all of its contents mapped to RAM, and you can create and memory-map a 512 GB file on it and use it esse

This statement is incorrect, 15" designs handle the 100W TDP just fine. Look at the Dell XPS 15 - it has an Intel H-series CPU (45W) plus a 1050 GPU (55W). While having all this power, it's slim and the cooling solution works OK u

You're mixing stuff up here. If you lost your password, your existing backups are not recoverable regardless of what the article is talking about. This includes the "lost their phone" case as well - you don't have access

Wanted to say the same. Mic in earpods combined with Skype's background noise cancellation makes it so that you can be heard clearly by your peers even if you're in a noisy restaurant. It's already in my reflexes to just shov
