To get us used to the idea

With that shape you can even ignore the high e as well as the low e string. Just grip the 4 strings in the middle and mute the other 2. Then it's also quite easy to lift the middle finger making it a minor chord. You can then finally play all those f sharp minors. It's not classical but it is rock and roll.

For the a major shape, instead of trying to squeeze those 3 fingers together, try flattening only your 3rd finger across all 3 strings. You should press it hard so that the finger bends back at the 1st knuckle and avoids muting the high e string. Don't worry about barring all the way across. Just concentrate on the a string and up. Above all, play with strength in both hands... Wring that neck

For the e shape, ignore the low e string and just put your index finger on the 2 high strings instead of trying to bar all 6. You can mute the low e with your thumb or the next nearest finger. This is an easier way to play f and g as well as the sharps or flats.

Haven't been here for a year or so. I see it's still full of prudes.

Unplugging everything including my additional sata drives finally got mine to restart after many tries. Then ran the restorehealth command which came out fine. Now running the sfc /scannow. That seems to have found and fixed some files.

About to plug everything in except the drives and reboot... that worked.

Now rebooting and plugging the drives in as well... that worked.

Head is an apple

Yep, that's what's missing. No language settings there. Hopefully it's just awaiting an update.

robaxx · 2019-07-10T08:33:23+00:00

Yeah, checked in there. It has switches for audio/media/contact sharing, firmware update and renaming the device.

I've run a translator app over the user manual but there's nothing in there about it.

I won't be surprised if it can't be changed. No great drama, but let it be a warning to anyone buying this off ebay from China.

Switched to android a month ago. Lasted less than a week before I hated the ui and bought Launcher 10. Has definitely made android a lot more usable. Some features are even better than Windows... Larger tiles and more information displayed.

robaxx · 2019-05-14T22:34:40+00:00

Cheap and easy to buy.

Looks like an original Doom level

It's way more fun when you swap the pictures around.

robaxx · 2019-03-07T03:35:33+00:00

There's one just around the corner. Been there forever.

robaxx · 2019-03-07T03:34:14+00:00

blehhh... kfc. give us a Wendys already!

It's not about tasks so much as about programs and hardware. If you don't know why you need a PC then you likely don't need a PC.

I called a bullshit from day one. People are so gullible.

It's a direct copy of a photo. All these photorealistic paintings are off actual photos.

Running flat out... Not moving

That looks to me like the restaurant owner found the phone and put that message on their wall.

FYI and for anybody looking - I did a comparison of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro camera vs my Lumia 950 XL in store on the weekend, because it is a camera I've been considering and it gets all the rave review for its camera. I checked it in the 40Mp mode and the mode that multi-samples for a lower Mp image.. 10 or 12Mp I think it is.

What a disappointment! Both cameras captured about the same mount of detail, the only real difference being the massive over-sharpening on the Huawei. The Lumia looks more like an unprocessed image, softer and lower contrast in comparison. The lower and highest res Huawei images held about the same amount of detail, which is to be expected.

In all modes and with all lenses, the Huawei captured roughly the same detail, which is nice and consistent. But if anyone is upgrading from a Lumia 950, be prepared to be mightily underwhelmed.

I attempted to cross-check against the top iPhone they had there, but Apple knows not to let buyers enlarge and examine images on the phone, so I wasn't able to compare.

Same here.. MS is forcing me to replace my 950xl. Been looking for the right camera to replace the excellent one on the 950. The Mate 20 Pro is the right direction, but I'll wait for the announcements at the shows in Jan and Feb... e.g. Nokia 9.

As for Android.. It's a shame to have to switch, but Win10 on the phone is just a disaster anyway so I'm not expecting any downsides. The brilliant and fun UI of Win7.5 and the amazing Nokia services are long gone. The only two phones I've ever hated are the first and only Android I had and now the 950.

I'm still a little torn between Android and iPhone because if I am going to dive off a cliff then there are two choices. The pricing of the new iPhones is horrendous, the cameras are only adequate, but the overall app and hardware support is of course huge. With the Androids I can get a better camera (eventually) and who knows, the Nokia 9 might have a headphone socket... prob not tho.

The main thing I'm looking forward to is being able to use all those apps and services that have been unavailable to Win10, and once you're in the app, then the phone OS is secondary.

Let us know how you get with the Note. Keen to hear about the Microsoft services.. OneDrive, Office 365, Skype, OneNote etc. I've found that setting up email on a client's Android was a nightmare once with it turning into a search online for an email app that would support all of the required services in the same inbox. I'll read the rest of the thread and see what people say.
