Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Can anyone tell me if the computer that is a deal of the day on amazon is a good deal? I don't know how to link to it on my phone, and my computer is bricked.

It's already two years old Though is the only thing, that's probably why they're on sale? You could also look at getting a refurbished one if you want—from Apple it's got the same warranty as their usual stuff.

Does the age really matter that much if it's unused? It's certainly newer that what I'll be replacing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Early 2016 model doesn't mean that the computer itself is 2 years old -- that's the current model, and that's just when they announced that particular model/configuration.

Yeah, sorry, I meant as in "hasn't been updated since" not "physical computer is age"

Thrive to spite them

I am having a minor but annoying issue with my Samsung Galaxy s7.

I am trying to organize my apps and it will only allow me to move them to the home screen. As soon as I press and hold the app it pops to the home screen.

Anyone know what might be going on?

Hey. New board.

Do you mean you are trying to rganize them in the app drawer, or on other home screens?Ishis something you were able to do before? I don't have a Samsung phone, but on the Google launcher I'm using I can't organize apps in the app drawer; they are alphabetical.

Tech peeps: does anyone have a favorite tool to open USB drives that were encrypted via Windows Bitlocker on a Mac? I will possibly need to do this for reasons.
