I was excited for the Lumia 520 and I9500 Galaxy S4 launches in 2013 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo in February 2014. I first saw the WP in this music video (at 0:45): "We Are Young" Anyone have any idea what model it is? Someone one Reddit suggestes it's the HTC Titan II. I was also excited...

Yes, surprisingly. :)

I went nuts and bought a made in UK appliance from the 60s. It's a Teasmade and it's basically a tea kettle that starts boiling water about 10 min before waking you up with an alarm and a nice cup of tea, but you can use it for making coffee as well. It's 2021, why aren't Raspbery Pi-powered...

^Thanks guys, but we do not have most of these models on offer here or they cost too much considering a typical salary here is just $745 per month. Can you imagine that in many stores they still offer 4GB computers! In my experience Win 10 works slowly even with 6GB RAM on my double core...

I see most new laptops lack a DVD drive so I have two questions: 1. Can I clean install Windows 11 using a USB stick? Do modern laptops detect the USB drive if there's not OS installed? In the past 've had many problems with installing from a USB drive and my Windows DVD always saved me. 2. If...

What's better than coffee? Cofee served in your bed! One doesn't need to go to the kitchen in those cold winter mornings. There's this British tea kettle/alarm clock device called a Teasmade. It's for tea generally but if you put some ground coffee instead of a tea bag the night before and set...

Here are two more that came with my Lumia 520: Btw, apparently the winding road in Taiwan lock screen wallpaper first appeared in the Lumia 810 and 820 phones. Then on the 520, which means the 520 had the same wallpapers as 810/820. It's so cult to me now, instantly takes me back to my WP...

Thanks for this but it doesn't look as nice with those round photos (I know they're that way in Android). And perhaps the animation is not the same... The truth is Live tiles as they're now on Win 10 make no sense, I don't even have a People app installed nor a tile. I really dislike it when MS...

Hi all, my 2017 era Acer is even slower than usual and I think it's time for an upgrade. I mostly use my laptop for Web browsing, YouTube, Audacity & MS Office. It's a must for my new laptop to have at least 8GB RAM, 15.6" screen and its processor to be able to run Windows 11. I'm a bit out of...

I couldn't get into the black-background/tiles concept much hence why I bought a Galaxy Young mere 2 months after my Lumia 520 back in 2013. And yet, the one feature I truly miss is the People tile. I really loved the way it suffled photos of people in my contacts list. I also like the Pictures...

I jumped on the smartphone bandwagon with the original Galaxy S circa 2011. I liked it, though I spent waaaay too much time browsing the Web. Been an Internet addict since we got home web access. In summer 2013 I upgraded to a Lumia 520. I couldn't get used to the ecosystem so I bought a Samsung...

I may be one of the people that attach emotions and sentiments to objects like mobile phones, computers and even software and OS. That's why Windows 8 and 8.1 grew on me as they remind me of the great time I had in 2013. But it's not just that, I remember trying Windows 8 and I actually enjoyed...

I hope someone likes them.

Thank you for the suggestion. Here they are for anyone interested.

I have a second smartphone, which is an android and I like the stock wallpapers and want to use them on my WP as well. It's a Galaxy Young S6310. But the same wallpapers were available on the Galaxy Fame model. I was able to find the second to last one (water) and the last one which represents a...
