Well its that time of the year , it took so long to get here. Taking Damein to London and for a drive around the UK, looking forward to him trying to drive on the wrong side of the road.
Dawn and Joyce are on the flight to London/Paris before us ( 4 hour lay over in Seattle ) and then they have a 7 hour layover in London due to a British Airways canceled flight. Again Dawn got screwed by a airline and not in a good way .
In the beginning of this year I bought a Stream 7 from the Microsoft store, its a 7 in tablet with a small hard drive and a gig of ram. The device came with Windows 8.1 desktop version and I was hoping when Windows 10 came out Microsoft would send a “mobile” operating system to the device.
With Win 8.1 desktop it was very frustrating to use , the screen is to small to be clicking on the menus. The battery life was not to bad once you removed all the software you didn’t need, so we wait for Windows 10.
Windows 10 come’s out and the “desktop” version is loaded into the Stream 7. It almost kills the device…you can’t type the touch screen “sometimes” works. I have wiped it clean twice and reinstalled ( takes days in some case’s ) and no help. I contacted HP and they more or less said “your shit out of luck”. The battery now last’s 4 hours if I’m lucky.
If you run across one of these Stream 7 tablets avoid it at any price, not sure why HP let their logo put on this now “paper weight”.
****Update**** HP called me back and bought back the Stream 7 and I bought another one of HP’s laptops.
A day with a lumia 735 ( Windows phone 8.1 ) first off the Iphones are $800 plus this phone was $199 out the door no more payments. That said
Will it do Facebook …yes
Will it do Twitter…yes
Will it do Google +…..Fuck NO
Will it do email and surf the internet…yes
I should give you some background I’m testing Windows 10 and the newest build ( 10162 ) and its coming to a computer near you soon ( by the end of the month )
Cortana is Windows phone Siri and in Windows 10 I asked it to send a email to one of my contacts and it did, with no errors in via voice commands on the first try. It also launched Chrome and Internet Explorer at my request ( voice request )
The phone will not do this just yet , buy Windows 10 will be coming to it soon after the computers.
Now you know what I do for fun on a Friday night…I am a party god… #lumia735 #windowsphone #windows10
Off to Greece in about 11 Days 😉
I have a friend or should I say friends that will have nothing to do with the internet , that just refuse to even look at it and use it as a tool. Now these are not dumb people, they just refuse to have all the worlds knowledge at there finger tips.Is this wrong and should it be mandatory from this point in history that everyone on the planet have this option ?
Only the Sith deal in absolutes, but is knowledge something that can be denied to those who want it or need it….
Are they not holding back the rest of society from moving on , I am not saying people that are to old to pick up on the new technology. I am talking about the 30 and 40 something’s that see Facebook “as” the internet. I have been on Facebook for years and the only “news” I see is the stuff I put on there when I think its important for public to know.
Who the Fuck are you Eric to decide what “Facebook” should publish and friends should see….this has gone all wrong , now I am sounding like Fox News
I just wish everyone had everything at their fingertips …
