1. Phones in the last year:

    > Sony Xperia Z1
    > Google/Motorola Nexus 6
    > Sony Xperia Z3 (x2)
    > iPhone 6 Plus
    > Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+

    Thinking about the Nexus 6P when it arrives.

    Once you get used to bigger phones, going back is the most miserable experience.
  2. Bought the £39 official leather case. I hate myself.
  3. PC monitor or TV?

    I will b building myself a little man cave or office when I get into my new house and will want my computer at the heart of it. I will be getting a nice little Asus Chromebox. I want to run it to a screen of around 22-24 inches. Is there any particular benefits of a dedicated monitor to a TV? I'm not wanting to spend a fortune so both will be 1080p. I will be running external speakers so that makes up for the monitor not having any. TV's will have more ports.

    Any opinions? This is the TV I like. Slim bezels.

  4. Anyone upgraded to Windows 10? How are you finding it?

    Should I hold out for a few more months or not bother entirely?
  5. The Dork (TM) again. Help needed.


    For internet and home telephone, we have a phone line and a DSL-modem that is connected to the phone line at 1MB/sec (nothing faster here in the countryside, but yeah at least something).

    Now I want to use my smartphone (the mobile thingy) via WLAN and that DSL connection to safe the online costs of my mobile provider since I now use WhatsApp

    here goes the question.: can I buy a WLAN Router (for example like this ), connectz this with a cable to the DSL modem and then.... switch to WLAN and activate WLAN on my mobile as well --> does this work? and does the normal computer then work via the DSL modem or does it have to work via WLAN as well?

    god I have no CLUE about these things

  6. google windows 10 nightmare
  7. I hear also lots of nightmares, blue screens, crashes, 30 step recovery procedures etc.

    I tried upgrading but it didn't even work, some Windows Update failure. And instead of giving me meaningful errors all it does is restarting my computer in the recovery mode. Then I restart and back to Windows 8. Guess that's where I'll be for the forseeable future.
  8. I upgraded on launch day and haven't had a single issue.
  9. Hmm, I guess it must be different for different people. I think I'll hold out on Windows 7 for a while more, I'll wait for more developments.
  10. el capitan is really superlative
