    Delete WP Central account

    Thread bump after a decade.. :) Most sites have a 'delete account' option, but I don't see it here. Is there a way to remove all account info? Ideally the user name would change to something random, or 'deleted member'.

    Why Can't I Get My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Unlocked?

    No help from me, but I have the same problem. ATT website says the device is unlocked, but Galaxy Book app says "This SIM card can only be used on specific networks". Well duh, it's a TMo sim card. But I think they mean "This device can only be used on specific networks"...right? If anyone...

    When were you last excited about a phone?

    Same here. Ahh the good old days! :)

    Huh. People are installing WOA on the Lumia 950!

    For those interested in giving this a try, by now the Github page has a very friendly rundown of the steps involved: https://github.com/WOA-Project/WOA-Deployer-Lumia/blob/master/Readme.md Note, you're installing code from third parties, so there's an inherent risk that backdoors and password...

    Huh. People are installing WOA on the Lumia 950!

    I thought I read somewhere that they did get the wifi to work (it didn't in the second video I posted, and they used wired ethernet in the first video). I don't know about external monitors, which would be a game changer. It might be too slow to be anything but a hobby project, but still cool...

    Lumia 640 just updated, weird.

    Same here on my 950XL. I woke up because of a "bzzt" from the nightstand at something like 3am about a week ago, followed by the lovely sight of two horrendously animated non-interlocking gears spinning. Thanks Microsoft!

    Huh. People are installing WOA on the Lumia 950!

    Definitely, although it runs better than I personally expected! raycpl Not sure about continuum. In principle since it's full Win10 it should support external monitors, but I'm not sure if all drivers are available such that USB-C docks would work.

    Huh. People are installing WOA on the Lumia 950!

    Fair point. :) I actually read that people had success on both the 950 and the 950XL. Here's another video showing dual boot with Win10 Phone, and the experience right after installing (setup process etc). I'm surprised at how well it seems to run. Looks like the video is real time, you can...

    Huh. People are installing WOA on the Lumia 950!

    I had no idea this was a thing. There's clearly rough edges and it's pretty slow, and no cellular support (that's a biggie), but still very cool. Apologies if this has been posted a million times, I haven't visited in a while! More info and warnings etc here.

    Why I won’t buy anymore Windows hardware….ever.

    Counterpoint: half a year ago I spent around $2500 on an X1 Yoga 3. The mouse pointer frequently goes on an eight second solo run, windows close because of ghost touches (non-user initiated touches), the color balance went crazy for a few months because of a driver issue, for a month the CPU...

    Simple tool to see sourcecode in Edge

    F12 As in "hit function key 12" Oops, I see that CTRL-U brings you to that same view, and you don't like it. You can collapse the left side (click the little folder in the top left), and make the right panel as small as possible, but that seems to be all. Alternatively: try Chrome, where...

    How do I avoid making a Windows setup lame and boring?

    Edit: oh, I think I misread the question! :D Well anyway, here's my tip to Microsoft for making Win10 more cool to work with: One simple thing: assign 4-finger and 5-finger gestures to 'move and resize window'. Dragging window positions aiming one finger at the title bar is finicky. Placing...

    Is VR already becoming an after thought?

    Can't wait to try it once I have better graphics hardware. BTW, for those interested Elite Dangerous is currently 55% off, until Tuesday noon eastern or so: https://store.steampowered.com/app/359320/Elite_Dangerous/ Discounted price: $13.50. That's like three cappuccini at Starbucks. Worth it!

    Is VR already becoming an after thought?

    Hey, any of you kids here remember playing Descent in the nineties? Looks like it's about to make a comeback in VR as a Kickstarter. Originally planned for release in 2016, but it seems like it's actually happening this time...

    Is VR already becoming an after thought?

    One more on the cost issue, for those here lucky enough to own a Surface Book 2 with dGPU you already have enough graphics power to enjoy basic VR, so could get the Lenovo Explorer with controllers on Amazon right now brand new for $200 and see if you like it. That's a reasonably low barrier to...
