Naming DroidPSK and 817 Companion - Ham Radio programs. How is that an issue? It runs anything Android can run. So if those don't work on Android, why do you want an Android device? It's not an issue if the ChromeOS will run them. I don't have the bases of ChromeOS, but did look at the CB Tab10, and it should work fine... so - I am open to it as an option. Android apps can be installed on ChromeOS. https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/7021273?hl=en But Google Play Store is only available on selected Chromebooks https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-android-apps New ones with OP1 processor all take the Google Play Store.

Analysis is that the new Apple iPad is not enough to help Apple in the education market.

Dolphin does not see it. Nemo sees it,.. 100GB device.

@JaredBusch said in iTunes: Authorize previous Authorized computer: @gjacobse said in iTunes: Authorize previous Authorized computer: So - I am again being prompted to Authorize a computer that was authorized for iTunes - else may iOS apps will be deleted. Has anyone encountered this? You changed something. Because I have never once had to reauthorize a computer that was already authorized. Additionally, Apple does not "delete" anything. as it is all tied to your account. I changed something.. iTunes updated my iOS device to the latest version of the iOS - Yea, I know Apple doesn't delete anything - it's nice that they don't - but also quite annoying as I have apps (free) that I would like to erase from the history....

@Kelly said in Jamf- Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV management solution: @scottalanmiller said in Jamf- Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV management solution: @Kelly said in Jamf- Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV management solution: We're using Jamf, and it is pretty decent. With recent changes to permissions in macOS, a solution like Jamf will be the only way you can actually control certain settings. Apple is no longer content with merely ignoring professional users, but is now actively trying to eliminate them. I think that that actually started long ago. 10.12.x is much worse that what came before. There are a significant portion of system level settings that you cannot touch even as root. Wow, that's just crazy.

@gjacobse said in Linux and Windows argument: @Dashrender said in Linux and Windows argument: @momurda said in Linux and Windows argument: @op's question: So now what do you do? If I drop completely to Linux - something like this would become a rather annoying event. As someone that has five iPads (in use), four iPods and two iPhones, that could get damn right perturbing. Stop using Apple products would be my answer. Though you seem to be in too deep already. That doesn't make sense though - Scott is a HUGE apple fan, and he's on Linux now too. I tend to agree with Scott's comment earlier, if this is a problem, borrow a friends computer. So - take @scottalanmiller and the fact that he is now over seas - how practical is borrowing a friends computer? I can borrow my daughter's.

@IRJ said in Unlocking a Wiped iPad: I would just get rid of the device. Selling it for parts could possibly get him in trouble if the 2nd owner came up with it in a shady way. Yeah, I don't know all the details. I was just asking. I agree it sounds shady but I honestly don't know what the details are.

@Dashrender said in Update your iOS devices. This flaw is a doozy.: What is your driving feature(s)? Not what I have I want Windows 10 Mobile to be stable, supported, and have a thriving app ecosystem with all the major apps. And a pony. Now that that is out of the way, I like the consistency of iOS, but I don't like iOS. iOS X is light years better from a UX perspective imo than iOS 9 was, but there are still niggling little things that annoy me. And Apple irritates me on so many levels, and that irritation is only exacerbated by managing a network that is 95% Mac. I don't know Android well enough to know what I want there, but I dislike what Samsung has done with their bloat ware. I was looking at Nexus for my WP replacement, but Alphabet chose to kill that in favor of a flagship that is more aimed at a consumer, than creating a clean experience (I'm guessing, not having used a Pixel). OnePlus 3 looks promising. If I had to choose today it would probably be one of these.

@StrongBad said in Welcome me to the ...: and... what's the verdict, how do you like it? I have probably only spent an hour total or so on the device. I am doing a couple websites at the moment for small businesses.

@Dashrender said: It's odd to think the developers of Angry Birds 2 would use an unofficial version of Xcode. Seriously!

@Dashrender said: @mlnews said: iCloud Drive will start to look and act more like a mounted drive from a PC so will give a much more familiar file browsing experience. I'm trying to decide if this is a good or bad thing.... I haven't used cloud storage enough to get 'used' to it one way or the other. That's how bad it is now, no one uses it currently because it is useless.

@g.jacobse @thecreativeone91 18650's are Lithium ion, which are plenty freaking dangerous! Batteries and caps are the only things that really scare the poop outta me in electronics. For the charging/discharging/maintenance/safety stuff you can get cheap LI pack minders on ebay with a full LCD screen and all the goodies. Then you roll your own enclosure (mine will be sheet steel, a project box or wood). I will also integrate a speaker and amp in mine so when I go camping I've got tunes + battery charger for phone.

Were you able to get your iPad to power back on?

I use my iPhone a lot when I travel as it is so much of a pain to carry my SLR with me.

@Dashrender said: It's not a stiff hinge like a laptop has. From a lap perspective it's a major pain, I wouldn't expect the use of the SP3 on an airplane tray to be difficult.. but a lap on a train, yeah that would suck. Plane would be better and if there is no lip on the tray probably fine. But most have a lip.

@ajstringham said: @scottalanmiller said: They had Mavericks then Yosemite. It's named after things in California since 10.9. I thought Yosemite was Wyoming... That's Yellowstone. My bad.

I do, I've got a long time without one now. Had one for a few months but that was all. The new ones are super light and thin which is pretty cool and even more processing power than the iPhone 6 if you go for the larger model.

if i'm literally on the road and someone calls i'll use my GFI Max App/Team Viewer to hop on and fix lil urgent issues. (yes aj, i use my phone while in my vehicle, but i pull over). Speedtest. Let me tell you, teamviewer on the iPhone6+ is actually usable lol

The App Store is actually great. It is the poor alternative on windows and android that I found to be the turnoff.

I am planning on getting a new Mac after their next round of updates.

Here is where you can buy one... http://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Slope-stand-Compatible-universal/dp/B00IXZ45YQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403911350&sr=8-1&keywords=dekke $50 isn't horrible.

@Carnival-Boy said in Do you find a tablet useful for work?: @scottalanmiller said: Should you really define a system as brilliant if it doesn't service the needs of the users? Yes. If they sacked the users and replaced them with new ones then my brilliant systems would save the company a fortune! And potentially even more if they sacked the users and didn't replace them! Now that really saves the money.
