Samsung Gear S3 Classic

Samsung Gear S3 Classic Wikipedia Gear S3 So not too long ago my dress watch's battery died so I decided to purchase this through Verizon and give it a try. I opted for the number share feature that allows you to use this device standalone even if you are away from your phone. It connects to my phone via bluetooth but can also work with the number share service I have. The previous versions of the Gear were ok but something about the look of this one and the standard watch band that can be purchased made this a great option for me. The Samsung Gear S2 was alright but the limited number of bands that could be purchased was a bit of a let down and its looks weren't quite what I was hoping for. It looked ok for day to day usage but looked a bit silly when I would dress up for dinner or things of that nature. What a refreshing purchase the S3 has been. Out of the box professional looking and I have to say the performance and options this watch has when paired with my Note 8 ...

Surface sketching vs ipad sketching

Surface Pro VS 2018 iPad Worked on this flag for a week and a half and really proud of how it turned out! Started on a 2018 iPad and finished on a Surface Pro. Love the apple pencil paired with the tablet! Melissa and Lexi both have iPad pros which is awesome. I have found a beautiful mix of technology mixed with 1TB of one drive is seamless!

Fix A Phone Saved Me

                          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!...

Google Pixel XL 2

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!

Are We Sure Microsoft Isn't Actually Brilliant?

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...

Manage That Darn Xbox

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 ...
