                          So a couple months ago I somehow, still not sure how, fell asleep to a perfectly fine Surface Pro and woke up to a Surface with a broken screen. My heart sank and I wasn't sure what I was going to do! The screen was cracked all the way from top to bottom. Must have been a rough night in bed because the Surface was sitting beside the bed and somehow still was broken. I panicked briefly when I saw that Microsoft wanted $600 to either fix or replace the device. Did I have $600.... NO! With a heavy heart I started researching costs to do it myself and came up around $210, that is a little more manageable! I watched a couple of videos on how to do it and of course they made it look easy.             I just so happened to be driving through town later that day and came across a store front called Fix A Phone. Sounded generic but looked nice from the outside!...

Pixel 2 XL review Tech Review No headphone jack Android Oreo is available Water resistant 6 inch display Arguably one of the best cameras on the market Dual front facing speakers The Pixel 2 clues us in on why Google called its phone series Pixel: it was building the best camera on a phone. This second-generation effort fulfills that promise with not only the best-in-class photos, but also dual front-facing speakers and water-resistance. It's a great size, but you'll need to be okay with its dated looks and the fact that there’s no headphone jack. Expandable storage would have been nice but with so many free cloud storage options, honestly…..,who cares!

Microsoft Windows 10 So it has been a couple of months since I re installed Windows 10 and nothing but praises! As all you Windows users out there know that WOW fast at first but give it a few months. I think Windows 10 is one the most stripped down versions of Windows ever that runs amazing on some decent hardware. I sport on a 1.8GHz processor! (Crappy Right LOL), but sport 1TB HD, 8GB of DDR5 and 4GB of video RAM. Processor could be better but all other specs are awesome for a laptop right now. Anyway enough about that. The reason I even brought this up is that I just wanted to rest everyone assured that if you have the hardware to run Windows 10 please do! Best OS to date....... coming from a long time user!  Think that's all for this review except for the link below to download Windows 10 from genuine Microsoft servers. If you have Windows 8 or newer you can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free if I'm not mistaken. All you need is a usb stick large enough to hol...

Factory Reset For Xbox one How to reset your console to factory defaults on Xbox One Though rare, there are times when you may need to completely erase and restore your Xbox One, such as when you sell it or give it to a friend. There may also be times when you want to reset your console's operating system (OS) to its factory defaults for troubleshooting purposes, but you want to keep all of your games and apps installed. Xbox One provides a simple and easy way to perform both actions. Warning  Resetting your console to its factory defaults erases all accounts, saved games, settings, and home Xbox associations. Anything not synchronized with Xbox Live will be lost. Your console syncs with Xbox Live automatically when it’s connected with the service, so if you've been offline for a while, you'll need to connect to Xbox Live before taking these steps. Note  If you can't perform the following procedure to restore the factory default settings because you ...

So Steam steps up and does it right! I know that Steam has been around for a long time and that must say something about the service they provide. I have been using Steam for years to buy my computer games and it still holds up today! They even took it one step further and allowed family sharing between Steam users. I instantly inherited about 80 games when I shared with Austin. I have been trying to convince my brother to game share with me. One of the games that I love to play is not shareable unfortunately~~~! Other older games I am sure are. I am currently downloading Battlefield Bad Company 2 right now. My laptop plays those classics at full steam ahead. I was blessed with another visit from a wonderful woman today! I always love it when she comes in. Anyway what are all your opinions on what are the absolute minimums for a gaming system right now? Something that will play Fort Nite and Pub G at a minimum. What is your opinion on what is more beneficial to gaming? Processor o...

!~~~Night Mode on showing on above picture~~~! So lately at night and I mean about the last month and a half I had trouble going to sleep after a long computer session. I believe that the reason for that is the blue light that is emitted as a standard display on Windows 10. It's a gorgeous display and there is nothing wrong with that. I use my computer like that during the day. What I love is night light for the evenings. I simply get into the display settings and turn it on in the evenings. It cast a reddish hue over everything and seems to be much easier on the eyes. Off to nod nod land in no time after finishing up the night that way. !~~~ Take a look at these pics below and navigate here with your Windows 10 settings. Enjoy~~~!
