    Browser Notifications

    I started getting pop-up ads for windows central today. I hope I correctly identified them as browser ads and blocked them. Either way it's virus behavior and I am concerned. I will be running every malware scanner I can locate. If it is this site, thanks for both the virus like notifications...

    Refurbished Lumia 650 going for less than a dollar on Cricket

    Ordered one a couple of days ago from Cricket for the $31 ish price. It has not arrived yet but I understand it is not activated yet. I plan on getting it unlocked via service and using it on T-Mobile. My question is what if anything should/could I do with the $30 of service I do not plan on...

    WTS: A handfull of Lumias

    Everything is sold. Thank you for allowing me to find new homes for my collection of phones. I will probably use the dumb phone for a while as I cannot afford something nice. I can afford a rough used AT&T 950 from ebay, they seem to be going for under $200. I'm just not sure this is the time to...

    WTS: A handfull of Lumias

    The unlocked 435 is sold leaving the new unused 435 remaining. I am willing to take offers on it. Rather than use the new unsullied 435, I have moved my sim to the Kyocera dumb phone.

    Is anyone using a free antivirus other than Windows Defender?

    So now it's working as a pain non-java link. Standard behavior is clicking a link opens in same window, CTRL+Click opens in new tab, SHIFT+Click opens in new window.

    My personal opinion is that if someone should make an updated 925 in 5 or 5.5, with an updated OS and a larger screen that may allow it to be a bit thinner (or just feel that way). I don't think I could resist buying it.

    Is anyone using a free antivirus other than Windows Defender?

    Yes that is the result of java script, an often necessary, but also often abused part of the modern web. What you are seeing is java code from the website executing on your browser with an elevated access level. This means a script can call another site and try to install malware while it...

    So.... I'm a dumbass

    Well well I was wrong, forgive me, if you pause at 1:57 on that video it looks like the digitizer is glued to the LCD making the glass only repair feasible. This is a definite departure from the usual when it comes to Lumia phones. A couple of things worry me about the video. First being the...

    So.... I'm a dumbass

    The digitizer is glued to the outer glass and it amazingly fragile. Due to the high failure rate and difficulty of removing and rebonding the digitizer much less it surviving the removal from the LCD the "Glass Only" repair is not viable. Why do they sell it then? Because people are dishonest...

    Is anyone using a free antivirus other than Windows Defender?

    At this point use windows defender. All modern third party "always on" type antivirus programs do little more than create additional attack vectors into your system. The reason for this is that most modern day net traffic is encrypted. So to see what is flowing over HTTPS these programs insert...

    The 640 has a new home. So now I am using the unlocked 435. I am changing the asking prices of the 435s to a flat $30 each or $50 for both. Force me onto a little Kyrocera dumb phone. Please.
