    OnePlus 3

    For what it's worth about the memory management issues. You can allow more background apps to stay in memory by changing a value in the build.prop file. Root is required for this, but it's a piece of cake to do on the OP3. There is an all-in-one toolkit already...

    Galaxy S6: Need to move 13GB of videos without the USB cable

    Sweech File Transfer works great https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sweech EDIT: Forgot to mention that after 100mb, the transfer speed is throttled to 100kbps unless you get the premium version ($2 and change). So this won't work if you're looking for a free method.

    HELP ... Is there a NON-LED Book Light out there somewhere?

    Zelco Itty Bitty Book Light uses tiny incandescent bulbs. http://amazon.com/Zelco-Itty-Bitty-Book-Light/dp/B00005R8TJ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Though I second sbpromani's suggestion on trying to find a different LED book light that you might like. LED is just superior to...

    Is it just me or is this an odd way to word this math problem

    IMO the wording of the question is beyond ambiguous. It's flat out wrong or misleading. If I am taking a standardized test without a way to argue my case then yes, i'd pick the answer that I think the test maker is trying to get to. However, in this case, I think all of the answer choices are...

    Is it just me or is this an odd way to word this math problem

    A good word math problem should not be intentionally misleading or ambiguous. I think it's fine to give superfluous information or give information in a different way that requires the student to synthesize an solution method based on their understanding rather just plug and chug the equation...

    Is it just me or is this an odd way to word this math problem

    I wonder if it's worth it for the student to fight for those few points in that case. I would not be surprised if the original teacher would feel insulted that you went over their head and made the teacher look bad. It might end up hurting the student in the long run if the teacher is spiteful...

    Is it just me or is this an odd way to word this math problem

    1) Hm. That's just way the I would interpret the statement. "The probability that a dessert containing chocolate also contains nuts is 30%." It's the word 'containing'. I don't know the exact grammar rules, but to me, the word 'containing' makes it seem like we're talking about just about...

    Is it just me or is this an odd way to word this math problem

    I think the main disagreement between Humpy and everyone else is actually originates in the second sentence. "The probability that a dessert containing chocolate also contains nuts is 30%." Let there be 100 donuts and 86 of them are chocolate donuts. 1) one way (Humpy's way) is to...

    Is it just me or is this an odd way to word this math problem

    I agree, though it's possible that this question is just the first question in a series of questions. For example, I could see the next question being: Assume 20% of the non-chocolate sweets also contain nuts, what's the probability of the the sweet contain nuts given that it contains chocolate...

    Android Fast Charge + ASRock App Charger = nope?

    Hm... What amperage does the HTC One say it's receiving when charging? Could it be just that the flex 2 has a much bigger battery than the HTC One so that's why it's charging slower? The LG Flex 2 has a 3000mah battery while the HTC One (assuming M7) has a 2300mah battery. That doesn't quite...

    Android Fast Charge + ASRock App Charger = nope?

    The Asrock motherboard fast charging port is only designed for apple products. http://asrock.com/feature/appcharger/index.asp The application is called 'The best Apple charge companion' for a reason. So you're stuck with 500ma current of the usb port since the LG Flex 2 is not able to...

    Phone charged through my car blows through battery quicker?

    Another possible explanation is that if you're charging in the car, there's a better chance that you're using the phone for music streaming or navigation. So you could be blowing through the first 10 or 20% of the battery charge without really thinking about it.

    Cell phone manufacturer warranties and Best Buy receipts are BS!

    That's really strange. LG honored their warranty for a verizon LG G2 I bought from bestbuy.com. I just provided a screen shot of my order confirmation email from bestbuy.com I bought the phone (Verizon branded, not on contract) in May 2015 and sent it back to LG for faulty GPS in December 2015...

    New from Acer: $170 Windows 10 laptop

    What is the best $200 smart phone I can get?

    LG G2 is a very nice phone if you don't need the micro-sd slot. I used it for a few days and the phone is still very fast and has awesome battery life for a phone that came out 2 years ago. The bezel is very small for its screen size. I was tempted to sell my Oneplus One get a G2 instead because...

    Good laptop for college?

    If you're okay with buying used, you get some some great deals on ebay or cowboom. Dell outlet occasionally would have great deals too. The models I would focus on would be the business line: Lenovo Thinkpad 12.5" (x240 and x250) and 14" (x1 carbon) Dell Latitude 12.5" (e7240 and e7250) and...

    Good laptop for college?

    It's a good deal, but I don't think it's the best for this usage. In my opinion, the priority of most important things to least for a college laptop Size > Battery life > durability > 'Snappiness' > screen quality > Raw performance In my years undergrad and grad school, my laptop sizes...

    Looking for Ultrabook recommendation ($1250/256GB SSD)

    I've had good luck with Dell Latitude ultrabooks. From some quick googling, the Latitude E7440 fits your requirement quite nicely. PROS: * 14.0" * Takes mSata or regular 7mm sata drives. I couldn't figure out if you can do both at the same time though. * RAM is non-soldered and user...

    Straight Talk or T-Mobile BYOP

    It looks like you're still required to sign a 2 year contract for the T-mobile value plan. I say try out ST's service for a month and see how you like it. I think the ability to leave any time you want is worth the extra $10 a month. (T-mobile will probably tack on some bs fees to make the...

    Steve Jobs was quoted as saying this about lottery..

    Yep, my calculation has the jackpot split 400 million (tickets sold) divided by 173 million or 2.27 ways. If assuming no splitting, the expected value for each ticket (even at 40% taxes) is $1.84 / play. Good point on taxes.

    Steve Jobs was quoted as saying this about lottery..

    I did some basic calculations to see if megaplier is worth it. The assumption I made is that 50% of the ticket sales goes into the jackpot. So since last jackpot was $340 million and this jackpot is $540 million, I estimate that they're expecting to sell 400 million tickets. I also assumed...

    New Gaming PC based around Radeon 7970

    Everything looks good except the SSD is way way way too small IMO. I like putting programs that I use often (office, browsers, 7zip, pdf reader etc) and a game or two that I'm currently playing on the SSD. 60GB is barely enough for that. I would go for at 60GB at a minimum. 120GB or 160GB...

    New bill introduced today for more skilled foreign workers
