    Major File History issue in Windows 10

    Windows has never been great at offering backup options but I decided to start using File History in Win8 since it seemed simple and file-based. I excluded some folders but otherwise left it at default settings and it seemed to work well. Unfortunately, it seems totally screwed up in Win10...

    Seagate or WD Green for storage and gaming

    From what Zodiark1593 is saying, it seems the drive spinning down is the larger cause of access delay, not the head parking. Can you totally prevent a WD Green from spinning down using normal Windows power management, or will it do that by default similar to my external Seagate? I've been...

    Seagate or WD Green for storage and gaming

    I currently have a Seagate external drive and it does the same thing when I try to access it after it's been sleeping for awhile. You can hear it spin up and it takes a few seconds. So I think that has more to do with Windows/external drive sleeping than anything to do with WD head parking...

    Seagate or WD Green for storage and gaming

    Thanks for all the replies. Biggest concern is the access delay (up to 10 seconds??) Cerb and Zodiark1593 mention, which doesn't sound good. What I'm confused by though is that people say the Seagate parks its heads too (just after more time I'm assuming). So wouldn't it be subject to the...

    Seagate or WD Green for storage and gaming

    I agree that a data drive should last awhile. Hard drives aren't even improving nowadays, so if you get enough capacity you'd want it to last for 5+ years. I get the impression any WD is more reliable than a Seagate, but there are plenty of happy Seagate owners too. I do like that the WD...

    Seagate or WD Green for storage and gaming

    Thanks Charlie98, good to hear. pauldun170, I'm glad the WD Black isn't too loud for you. I think you are misreading the WD recommended use quote though. The full thing says: It sounds like they are saying all of those are acceptable uses, the first of which is "primary use in desktop...

    Seagate or WD Green for storage and gaming

    Thanks for the responses. I passed on the WD Black due to it being $50-60 more and loud. The warranty is nice but you're paying so much extra for it. I would not feel like changing the park timer on the Green, so I am still concerned about reliability with the default timer (not sure if it's...

    Seagate or WD Green for storage and gaming

    Thanks guys...it's frustrating they don't offer Blue in 2 TB. They have Green at the low-end and Black at the high-end, not sure why they don't offer a 2 TB "mainstream" drive. Many of you have said Green is pretty bad and to be avoided. It doesn't seem like reliability is the chief complaint...

    Seagate or WD Green for storage and gaming

    Also, this drive really will be just for games, documents, and media streaming, everything else is on the SSD. Not sure if that affects the opinions - when we're talking speed, we're just talking about file transfers to and off the disk and game load times, as well as in-game loading if that...

    Seagate or WD Green for storage and gaming

    Thanks for the opinions. I will steer clear of the Green if you say it really is that slow. I figured all hard drives are slow enough that the difference would be negligible, but I will trust those who have direct experience with them. ketchup79, have you used Greens yourself or are you going...

    Seagate or WD Green for storage and gaming

    Hi, I'm looking to get a 2 or 3 TB drive for document storage, media streaming, and games. I decided against WD Black despite the better warranty due it being nearly double the cost of the Seagate ($132 vs $70). So right now I'm having trouble deciding between the Seagate ST2000DM001 and the...

    Anyone else dreading Android 4.5 rather than anticipating it?

    Well it looks like Google agreed with me about the lock screen notifications, because widgets are out and notifications are in with Android L. The implementation looks nearly identical to iPhone. Took them long enough, but glad to see it. You're right that both platforms are converging...

    Anyone else dreading Android 4.5 rather than anticipating it?

    I appreciate all of your viewpoints, it's a good discussion to have and both sides usually learn a thing or two in the process. You mentioned AcDisplay, I downloaded it and tried it. Set it as the lockscreen. It works, although a little clunky to have two lockscreens since I use a PIN...

    Anyone else dreading Android 4.5 rather than anticipating it?

    It's not like I had this opinion years ago but kept using Android anyway. I've used it for years and never considered an iPhone for a long time. My entire post describes how I tried to make it work but no longer can, and now I plan to do exactly what you're saying. I posted it because this...

    Anyone else dreading Android 4.5 rather than anticipating it?

    I've posted about my recent dissatisfaction with Android before. I've rooted, used ROMs, Xposed, the whole spectrum. I kept chasing the "ideal" scenario, being able to customize what I want while still maintaining stability and security. I realized ROMs were never going to be that, too...

    Apple Touch ID vs. Android face unlock/pattern with EAS

    The official Nexus 5 thread.

    I have to agree, ROMs reboot due to bugs, you tend to deal with it more than normal reboots. I also don't think something like LightFlow affects boot time, it starts its launch after you're booted. Also agree that distinguishing the various methods of listening to notifications is walking a...

    The official Nexus 5 thread.

    Can I ask you a few questions about CM since I haven't run it since CM7 and a little of CM9 and I'm still debating between using it or just Xposed on my N5: Do Profiles let you disable screen security when, for example, on a certain WiFi network? So I can have pattern lock when I'm out and...

    Apple Touch ID vs. Android face unlock/pattern with EAS

    Are you sure downloaded attachments are in the open? I'm pretty sure TouchDown devs have given thought to this as it's one of the most important parts of email security and lots of corporations endorse its use. I was under the impression that downloaded attachments are only downloaded to...

    Apple Touch ID vs. Android face unlock/pattern with EAS

    I don't think there's anything hacky or "circumvential" about what TouchDown does. It simply presents itself as the "device." What it does is no different than something like Knox except that it's just an app instead of an entire OS partition. TouchDown is a great solution to avoid having to...

    Apple Touch ID vs. Android face unlock/pattern with EAS

    Thinking about this again now with the release of the GS5. You said it's simply a "choice" Apple made to allow Touch ID to work in lieu of an Exchange PIN, a choice that Google did not make with pattern or face unlock. I wonder if Google ever considered doing so, so that Exchange users would...

    The official Nexus 5 thread.

    Also, DLeRium, you seem to think about this stuff a lot and have a few opinions on what is best/ideal. I'm curious, do you run a custom ROM, Xposed, both, neither? I've been going back and forth about this myself. Part of me wants the "packaged" customization a ROM provides and to avoid...

    The official Nexus 5 thread.

    I think the real truth lies somewhere between what jimv1983 and DLeRium are saying. I agree with DLeRium that the OS is already doing several of these things, and adding more apps and third-party services to also do them or replicate them could be considered a type of bloat. To jimv's credit...

    The only true path of future gaming; Raytracing

    I suppose that's a reasonable answer...I was thinking the market that already uses ray tracing in their applications is bigger than "very very small." All movie and special effects studios, all 3D and CAD designers...I imagine there's a lot of firms that would pay big money to speed up those...

    The only true path of future gaming; Raytracing

    You still are not reading what I said. Jodell88 is telling me why it's not used in games (because the tech is too slow) and you're telling me why they don't dedicate hardware to it on GPUs for games (because that die area needs to be spent on other things). I wasn't talking about games in my...

    The only true path of future gaming; Raytracing

    I'm sorry but your post doesn't seem to be a response to what I said. What I said was, regardless of the feasibility of ray tracing in games, ray tracing routines have already been in use for years in a number of non-real-time applications such as CAD and CGI. Given this and the fact that...

    The only true path of future gaming; Raytracing

    Reading AT's news today on Imagination's new tech I also have the same question as the OP. Even if AMD and NVIDIA aren't as optimistic about real-time ray tracing in games as Imagination might be, there's no doubt ray-tracing algos have already been in use for a long while, in rendering...

    is AT&T getting rid of contracts entirely?

    You guys seem to be making this awfully complicated. Look, if you step away from a traditional contract and subsidy, then you're paying full price for the phone, whether it's through Next, or all upfront at a store, etc. So it's in your best interest to find the best deal and just buy it. The...

    is AT&T getting rid of contracts entirely?

    Correct, they realized increasing numbers of people would no longer need texting, so instead of allowing you to opt out to save money, they just priced everything at the same levels it used to cost to get unlimited. So if you don't need it, too bad you're paying for it anyway. They don't...

    13.12 WHQL AMD drivers out

    Can anyone tell me how they could possibly forget to do something so basic as update the version number on the Information page? Before you say "don't worry about it, it's no big deal," just think for a moment how little/basic QA it would take to verify something as simple as that. And we are...

    Thinking about totally ditching Android, please provide your input!

    If you can unlock the bootloader. That's becoming increasingly difficult (see Note 3). The update situation is improving, and I think Google will stay with KitKat for a long time so all devices can be running it, but it's still far from perfect. AT&T mucking with the software, and having...

    Thinking about totally ditching Android, please provide your input!

    To those saying you need to look outside Nexus: I see pros and cons there. I owned a non-Nexus previously (HTC) and hated all the software issues I had due purely to changes HTC made. Bugs, crappy apps, missing features that are in AOSP, just a number of problems I knew there was no good...

    Thinking about totally ditching Android, please provide your input!

    Thanks...you put it perfectly. I know I can tweak and replace endlessly, but I shouldn't have to. I've done that before, I want to spend my time differently now. What's sad is, wanting to step away from all that shouldn't require switching to iPhone. Android is 5 years old, it SHOULD be able...

    Thinking about totally ditching Android, please provide your input!

    Yeah, I have been thinking that as well. When I went prepaid, I couldn't imagine spending more than $300-400 on a phone. Nexus fit perfectly. Now I'm not sure what they want it to be. They're definitely not "developer" phones as people keep saying, but they also don't take simple steps to...

    Alternative to using a major carrier

    When I look at ATT it is even worse than what you quote. $50 for 2 GB data + $45 for one smartphone = $95. Taxes and fees are usually at least $10 so you're looking at about $105/month for a single user for 2 GB. Compared to $45 for 2.5 GB with Straight Talk.

    Thinking about totally ditching Android, please provide your input!

    Yes, this is what's kept me on the platform for so long - not liking the alternatives. There are things I really don't like about iOS, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm beyond the tipping point of making those trade-offs. You're totally right that you have to look at the whole picture and what...
