I'm using this program called SD Maid to clean my system. One of its functions is to remove duplicate files. I have 300 or so.

It gives me the options: Keep newest, Keep oldest, most nested, top level, keep random.

my ipad can do battery life like that, i've had it last a month at idle on wifi (3G disabled). the real drain is stuff like notifications that wake the screen up regularly.
 
I know I can beat that with my prime. I use it too much to let it sit for a month though.

Using it 2-4 hours a day it normally lasts 3-4 days, and on standby it seems like it only loses about 2-3 percent a day.


I have a bit of awesomeness to share; Where I work they do fire and water damage cleanup and restoration, and a week or two ago the fire team decided that a bunch of stuff from one house was non restorable. When that happens the manager lets all the employees pick through to see if there's anything they want before it gets thrown away. So after everyone including me had picked through, I decided to go back and look again; and at the bottom of a box I found a Kindle fire and an ipad 2! The cases they were in were covered in black crud but I cleaned them off and they both worked. Did a factory reset on them both and they work perfect. Also found a toshiba sattelite vista era laptop and a 20" imac with the glass bezel broken. Screen is fine though. Nobody else had seen any of that stuff or known what it was. I even found the power cords for everything in other boxes, lol.

I think I'm letting my dad have the ipad. Not sure what to do with the fire, anyone have suggestions?
 
Looking for a cheap 10.1" tablet.

this one here has come to my attention.

http://www.amazon.co_uk/dp/B00AKYZ6RI/?tag=tec053-21

I know the resolutions crap but all i want it to do is surf the net while in bed and read manga - what is everyones thoughts on this?
 
at least its capacitive, so its not too bad.


seems expensive to me tho - you either want a cheap tablet or a high end one, and that sits in the middle. i got my 7" tablet for $60 ($100 retail), and it could do what you're asking.

edit: lack of USB charging would kill it for me. thats a neccesity IMO when dealing with unknown brands like that, since replacing the charger would be a nightmare.

edit 2: the res aint bad actually. the ipad 1 was only 1024x768, so its comparable to that - and its actually widescreen for better movie watching. that shouldnt be a concern. (if it was higher res, games would lag on its comparatively weak hardware)

That is how I feel as well. I just thought "Oh shit this thing is a computer and susceptible to the same virus's that a PC is...", but I just don't know if it is worth the battery drain.
After running the app, it found nothing (had the phone since Oct. 2012).
 
scaremongering thats all it is....

Mcafee and Kaspersky saying "oh shit, your android phone can be hacked!! wtfbbqermagerd buy our products naow!!"

I think we will eventually need Anti Virus for our devices, but not just yet. so long as youre careful about what you click when surfing and the kind of apps you download and install, i dont see a reason to install an anti-virus.
