    Our graphic designer here at work is making movie posters for the new star wars. Like just his ideas.. Nothing official, but his work looks legit as shit! You would never know they weren't real.. They look awesome! Full-size and everything. Detail, quotes, release date, etc.

    So, the question is, do I upgrade to Win 10 on my laptop or stay at Win7? It's 5 or 6 years old. Has 4gb of ram, amd dual core and shared video. It's slow as hell. Don't have the money to buy a new one. Wanted to upgrade the memory, but it's DDR2 and that's about $150 for 2 sticks of 4gb. Wish it was DDR3. Memory is dirt cheap.

    Ok, but will it run Solidworks? I played with Ubuntu years ago and didn't like it very much.

    Maybe, using Wine. Not really a reliable solution though.

    I recently built a computer and it would not boot (FF error code on the motherboard). Found out I had a faulty power supply and went through the RMA process.

    Tried it again with the new power supply, and the computer will still not boot and same FF error on motherboard! The FF error could mean like 20 different things. I have not idea what's wrong. :(

    Rooting the samsung is easy. Rooting in general is easy as long as the bootloader is unlocked. I'd go the samsung route personally.

    Have you cleared the CMOS?

    Yes. Great watch, good battery life. I haven't tried the newest model but the older ones are really cool. Just a little basic vs a smart watch.

    Yes, tried that several times. I'm thinking some part is defective.

    EVGA z87 Stinger. I don't know if it's the motherboard, but I have nothing good to say about EVGA.

    That's pretty much the impression I got from online. I don't mind basic, I stare at my phone enough. I just want something for me to see what someone texts and if it's worth the hassle of getting my phone out to text, or just read and not reply (most of the one's I get are the latter).

    found out I can control my laptop too, it'll be nice to use that if I need to emcee another wedding. There were some awkward pauses getting the laptop unlocked and queued up for the last event, and apparently it'll just start a song if I need it, even if the app isn't actively running
