    The iOS 11 Thread

    I would say iOS 11 is an improvement in performance across the board on my iPhone 6s. I was beginning to experience quite a few slowdowns before upgrading.

    Warm? OCZ Intrepid 3700 480GB SATA SSD "Certified Refurb" $90

    I just ordered a brand new crucial BX200 480gb for $99 about three weeks ago... would say the ~500gb deals for new are worth waiting for. Out of the 15 SSDs I've ordered (sandisk, samsung, crucial, intel), I've had 5 fail within a year. The warranty matters.

    Help me pick a speaker for ps4 with optical. Thanks

    Optical in requires digital to analog processing, and likely decoding of surround codecs. In the world of encoded digital audio, optical is now legacy under HDMI. Your PS4 will send significantly more audio data over HDMI. Many brands, such as Onkyo, sell surround sound/home theater kits...

    Good B/W Laser Printer?

    Sweet! Thanks guys. I guess it was many years ago that Brother was not mac-friendly. Looks like the 2340DW is the successor to the 2270, $137 with high yield toner on Amazon. Will jump on it.

    Samsung 840 EVO 120gb in mid-2011 iMac issues

    Hey all, I upgraded a mid-2011 iMac with the aforementioned SSD. I checked out some stats using Activity Monitor and Blackmagic Disk Speed Test. Of course, when initiating tests/data transfers, the read/write speeds knick the maximum throughput of SATA III, settling at ~450MB/sec with write...

    Amazon Fire TV Stick $19 for Prime Users 2 days only

    Probably doesn't register if you select Amazon's "gift" option, and/or you're still going to have to put in your password initially or sign in with a different account. It's probably not that retarded. Bought 2 cus why not

    2014 Mac Mini (Haswell with Iris and PCI-E SSDs

    I'm having a very hard time seeing the point in buying these over the old ones, save graphics. PCI-E storage is only available CTO on the highest model. The baseline is about 18% slower in terms of processing power(?) according to geekbench scores. From what I can tell, with SSDs in both, a 2012...

    "Studio" monitors with a sub out (or a sub with monitor outs) will have a fixed crossover based off of the manufacturer's opinion.

    Does the performance of the iPhone get slower as it gets older

    I was referring to the tech inside, and was saying no to the drive slowing down over time. More importantly, I was suggesting that the sooner you let go of your 3G, the happier you will be ;)

    Does the performance of the iPhone get slower as it gets older

    No. The 3G is 3 years old, and time has proven its age. Mine really hit the end of the line a few months before the 4 launched (which I replaced it with). The 3GS is MUCH more competent.
