Push not working in iOS 9.2.1

Is anyone else having issues with push email in the latest iOS? I am having issues with both my company exchange server and my gmail (via Nuevasync). For the past few days I've had to go into Mail to prompt the inbox to update. I've tried deleting and reinstalling my accounts and that...

WiFi only works when I click on the wifi menu

The latest version. Just updated last night. However, the issue seems to be the heat that it's generating during charging. When I unplugged the power the situation resolved itself.

WiFi only works when I click on the wifi menu

Tonight, the wifi on my Macbook Pro (retina) has been acting really weird. It will work for a few minutes then stall but the moment I click on the wifi menu in the top bar the wifi comes back to life. Anyone ever experience this? EDIT: I'm wondering if the issue is heat related. I plugged my...

The 2014 Annual Anandtech Tax Time Thread!

Question related to filing an extension and Form 4868... I went to irs.gov/payments and sent a partial payment of my taxes owed via one of their payment providers. I selected on the provider site that I was paying/filing an extension. What I can't figure out is: do I still need to send in a...

MBPr hard drive space

I have a MacBook Pro Retina and as is the case often with SSD's, space is critical. Especially since I have a Bootcamp partition. Anyway, I've transitioned from Aperture to Photo and as such I moved my 109GB Aperture library to my backup drive and deleted it from my internal hard drive...

This. Getting a business degree is less likely to yield a job than a comp sci degree. A business degree is good for graduate work (ie an MBA) because it dovetails into a background field. So if you have a comp sci degree and work in industry and then get an MBA you'd be on a track to be a...

Are People Still Playing COD Ghosts (Xbox One)

I'm surprised people disliked Ghosts so much. I really have found AW to be pretty crappy as far as "based on planet earth" shooters go. It's like bubble gum sci fi, just cheesy. Not that cheesy is bad, it can be fun, but not for me. The Modern Warfare ones were the best in my view. But I'd...

New COD Advanced Warfare trailer

Sadly I have to agree. The game falls short for me. I think Ghosts provided better experience. This game just feels too fake.

I think this hits the nail on the head. It's slower and more tactical or something. AW feels too easy or something. Never dropped under a k/d of 1 and doing similar in ghosts took a while.

Are People Still Playing COD Ghosts (Xbox One)

I thought Ghosts was good. Not revolutionary but it is a fun multiplayer game. AW is just too bubble gum pop for me. The power jump, cloaks, and all that stuff just isn't a style of gameplay that I like. But I came up on the early Rainbow 6 games and Counter Strike. So that's more what I enjoy.

Are People Still Playing COD Ghosts (Xbox One)

I bought an Xbox One and being a COD fan got Advanced Warfare with it. It's less my style than the older COD games. Is COD Ghosts still pretty active or are people not really playing anymore?

Looks fun, but a little over the top for my taste. Then again, my favorite FPS of all time was the original Rainbow 6 with the mission planning and all that good stuff.

iPhone 5S -> iPhone 6 - Impressions? Worth it?

I figure by the time I sell my 5S I will probably be ahead a few bucks. The better battery is nice. The screen is a wash. My 5S is a launch-day unit and my TouchID doesn't work as well as later versions of the 5S seem to. The other piece for me is I would like more storage. I was down to 300MB...

I'm sure there's a decent number of you here that made the switch from the 5S to a 6. And I'd like to hear your thoughts. I had originally planned to keep my 5S since I'm not in my upgrade window (for another year), But I recently got a promotion at work and as a result I'm eligible for a...

Best workaround for Google pulling Exchange ActiveSync?

I use nuevasync and I'm happy with the service. The free workarounds were way too crappy and for $30/yr it was worth not having to hassle with those options.

Best Sub-$500 TV

I need a TV for a guest room / extra living room. It will be used for general TV watching and perhaps Xbox gaming when I find the time (which is not often). I'm thinking something in the 32"-40" range is the way to go. I'd like to keep price in check and $500 is my max, but I'd be happy to...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will probably skip the gaming specific ones because I have no interest in a mic. All the people that talk on CoD spew racist nonsense it seems and I just mute them. Open headphones are fine. Some sound leak is fine, I just don't want really loud noises cuz I...
