IMO PC's suck ass in every way. Crashes, slow and general shit. Macs rock. Only thing PC's are good for is gaming.

My iPhone 5s which is only a year old seems to lose battery life faster than my android s4. Is this a problem with that model iPhone or iPhones in general?

It's the question for the ages. I prefer iPhones. I was an Android fan for a while. I got turned off by all the shit that the carriers put on them so I switched to an iPhone which is shit free. I haven't looked back. I added Windows phone to the poll to be fair. So what you got?

I added this forum so our expert staff can help if you have any tech problems. If you don't then we'll use this forum to bullshit about the latest and greatest or brag about the power we have at our fingertips. We can also use this to argue about the interwebs and the value of it or talk about the evils of technology.

I helped my brother in-law pick out a new computer and it has a 650 gig hard drive. It is partitioned in half. One side is named Acer and the other Data. I don’t understand the benefit to having a partition. If the hard drive dies both sides are basically gone. I would prefer having an external (which I do) to hold my data so that when the hard drive dies my data is still protected. What say you?

I go to Windows update in control panel and tell it to check for updates and I get: "windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart." I've restarted multiple times and still no luck. I checked for solutions on microsoft forums, one sollution I found was to update defender first, I do this and it tells me defender isnt installed. I cant install it because the installer says it comes with Vista ( updated from vista to 7 ). View this thread

Ik blijk niet de enige te zijn die door Microsoft met dit probleem geconfronteerd wordt. Als ik systeemherstel toepas dan komt de printer weer beschikbaar maar na afsluiting van de computer wordt automatisch de update agent weer geinstalleerd waardoor de printer weer niet werkt. En zo gaat het maar door en door en door. Ik verwacht van de Microsoft experts een spoedig antwoord op deze ellende. View this thread
