Thank you. The window just has a decal that is cut from a vinyl that looks like etched glass.

Any news on the gsync acer yet? I am tired of using only one monitor on this setup.

Why are Android phones getting away from expandable storage?

The S6 isn't going to have it and I was looking at the Nexus 6 just now on Motorola's website and it doesn't appear to have it either.

I need a phone with expandable storage so I'm not sure where to look now.

Because there are plenty of online storage options that make SD cards obsolete.

Note 4 has it, but I'm guessing subsequent models may not.

Samsung says most average users don't even use the SD card slot. Along with the SD card slot going away, the S6 doesn't have an easily swappable battery anymore.

I've never owned a smartphone with expandable storage so I won't miss it.

Not enough data for that to be a justification. Not in my line of work anyway. I take at the very least a thousand photos with my phone every day and I wait until I hit WiFi to upload them. I would need a 50GB data plan and to have to constantly delete photos to have a phone with only 16GB or 32GB of storage. I guess this is going to force me to buy a stand alone camera but I will also have to add that to my data plan because the photos have to be taken through an app that is connected constantly. The app itself is very low data until you actually upload the photos.

That or I will just get a Note Edge. fricking stupid to do away with SD card options.

Security and file system performance. Google has been anti SD card for years.

This may not be the most elegant solution, but there's this:



A case that adds a microSD slot to your phone. Unfortunately, it's only just now in post-Kickstarter phase: LINK

Not sure how long until they ship, but the backers were supposed to get their cases in March/April.

I'll just get the Note 4 or Edge. I like my S4 Active and it's in great shape so I may even stick with that for now. The Next plan would actually be cheaper than what I have now so that on top of getting a new device is why I was even looking.

HTC One M9 will have an SD slot. Probably do that over Samsung.

I hardly use them but you can program games onto them where everything is right where you want it. I used it for the DayZ mod a lot since it had so many keys spread across the keyboard.

You can program them for any key press sequence even setting the delay between the presses. They are great for MMO to setting attack sequences that will cycle with one press of a button

Bind your skills to keys then record the macro to the G key you want

press K
wait 3
press L
wait 1
press M
wait 5

You can set it for a one time sequence or have it repeat until you hit the key again. It was great for EQ with trade skills when you had to craft one at a time.
