    Chromecast and mobile internet? No WiFi.

    This is what I do with my Note 10 and Chromecast. You need to install the Google Home app on the phone and turn on "mobile hotspot". The Chromecast will detect the hotspot and ask to pair the Chromecast and phone by entering a code in the Google Home app. Now when the Chromecast turns on it...

    The Expanse

    The planet is better explained in the book that it has un-natural concentrations of lithium and I assume the moons are all part of the geo-engineering to do this. In later books there are more strange unexplained worlds and when compared to the Alastair Reynolds novels The Expanse series doesn't...

    Do SSDs have an inherent or "built-in" failure date?

    If they are 4 years old you are likely to have "old" firmware on them. Older SSDs, like yours, did have issues and it was recommend to update the firmware (mainly to improve performance). The old OCZ Vertex wasn't very reliable from what I recall. I've had one Crucial SSD fail about 5 years...

    US: Westworld

    Meave looks to have reconfigured the hosts that were in storage, so I would assume she could have removed the programing that causes the host to ignore certain things. Ford could also have left hidden programming to do something similar. Not really an issue, turn every hosts' "cognition" up...

    US: Westworld

    Westworld has already shown that the bullets are "smart" and guests can be shot, but they just leave a nasty bruise. Shooting up the train would add to the realism of the event and guests would expect more difficulty/excitement the further from starting zone they get. For example in an early...

    US: Westworld

    Probably because it is easier to do the special effect of an actor falling off a horse :D It could also be the case the hosts are programmed not to shoot the horses as they are more expensive to repair and with the hosts AI they could hit a moving target from 100m or so if it was really needed.

    *** The Official Diablo III Thread ***

    You have to complete the main game once to the end of Act V, and then Adventure Mode will be unlocked for all new characters(season & non-season) in the future. So it will work if you create a game and your mate boosts you through it.

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge Thread ****

    I've had it happen a few times. My Nexus 5 did the same thing and the airplane mode trick worked, however only a reboot seems to work on the S7 :confused: I do have a dual sim version and I did wonder if that might cause a conflict, but I assume you have a single sim card.

    *** The Official Diablo III Thread ***

    It might be getting to the point when they just do a reset. Last season there were no new items :(, they just played around with the skills and added some torment levels.

    What book are you reading...

    On a related subject is "Mars Rover Curiosity: An Inside Account from Curiosity's Chief Engineer" by Rob Manning. It's fairly geeky but gives a very interesting insight in the project and the challenges that had too be overcome.

    US: Mr. Robot

    There are two more according to imdb. I made the same mistake and thought S2 was the same length as S1. :eek:

    Dead Mans's Shoes

    I cannot find it atm, it was on US Netflix a few years back. Film Four show it every now and then, but that doesn't help in the on-demand streaming age :confused:

    SIM card for 2 weeks in America?

    I used Three in San Fran and the data speeds were fine for light surfing and using Google Maps for navigating around the city. Just note that the calls are only cheap to UK numbers, calls to US numbers cost £1.40 per minute. You can get round this by using Skype or Google Hangouts, but that's...

    Apps associated with gmail accounts - query

    Google won't automatically install your "old" apps if you add your other gmail account. All you old apps will appear in the Play store in the "ALL" section of "My apps & games", they will have an X against them if they aren't installed. Alternatively if you add your old gmail account and...

    Overwatch

    I haven't played TF2 for years but I agree this feels very similar to the early version as it boils down to the same game modes, which have been done before and will be done again. Overwatch seems more balanced in that team work can overcome an individual who is very skillful with a...
