Tablet Question for those who use them. Is it worth getting a tablet with phone/text capabilities or is WiFi only a better buy?
Yes I have a cell phone and computer. For those of you who might ask "... well do you need or use text, phone..." I have texted on my older tablet as it is connected to my cell via my wireless plan not a tone, but some.
I also just bought a Samsung S6 lite and I didn't realize it is WIFI only. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to exchange it and spend a little more and get a bit newer and "5G" tablet or just stick with the tablet I purchased.
I'm just looking for opinions to help me rationalize which would be a better purchase in the long run or in general.

2 AnswersOther - Home & Garden3 weeks agoHow do i figure out what type/size of motherboard would work in my desktop/ best place to look? See Below?
I am NOT a computer techie type person so any responses and help need to be in basic terms
One of my computers is a HP Compaq DC7700.
The current mother board is a "Hewlett-Packard 0A54H". I am trying to find out if I were to get a new mother board for this PC, where do I look and what would be compatible/fit? And what the cost might be (just for reference), as i realize the mother board might cost more then the computer is worth (to me).
The computer works, but I believe the graphics is going, but it is integrated so from my understanding that means I would likely have to replace the mother board (so I just thought I'd check getting a new one).***So to reiterate, what I'm hoping someone can help me with is finding "... a mother board for this PC, where do I look and what would be compatible/fit?

Should I still have Dell swap out this HDD out for a different one????? see below?
Ok I just formatted my noisy NEW Seagate Barracuda 2TBHDD and the clickity click, clickity click clickity click Noise stopped why?
I've been posting other HDD questions on here recently and thank you to those who have responded with helpful, insightful information. For those who haven't read or answered those questions/posts. This is the 2nd of 2 brand new HDD (same maker/model...) that has been installed in my new Dell XPS 8940 S.E., I'm about to have them swap out this HDD with a 3rd HDD of a different Maker/Model, because I just can't take the noise of this HDD. I can hear the noise across the room (big room) and consistently even when I'm not using the computer and this HDD hasn't even been used yet, nothing stored to it.
OK so for the hell of it, I decided to click format and now the sound has "seemed" to stop. Can anybody, with experience enlighten me what might have happened?
Was it a good thing that I formatted it?
Should it have been formatted when I got it?

5 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks4 weeks agoIs it normal for some types/brands of PC hard drives to make noise? See below?
I have a NEW Dell xps 8940 special edition. The Seagate Barracuda 2TB makes an almost constant Clickity-click, Clickity-Click, Clickity-Click noise and it is a bit on the loader side. I contacted Dell about it, in trying to make a long story short; the Dell/ chat tech said it was a fan issue- sent out two new fans and a Tech and replaced fans, noise continued, 1st onsite tech said that noise is NOT normal - connected with Dell rep, trouble shot, scans, settings....all normal - sent out a new hard drive with new tech. Second tech replaced HD, noise continued and 2nd tech said noise is normal.
I contacted Dell just to confirm because I'm now confused, one Tech said its normal (and obviously Dell must not think it is normal as they sent out the new hard drive) and then being told by a 2nd Tech sent out by (World Wide Tech Support) being told something different.
All of the computers I've ever owned have never made this type of noise/sound? I realize I can still return the computer but what a pain in the butt.
HELP, any thoughts, Option's, Suggestions?

I have a shirt that has a single, some what narrow, box pleat at the I guess it would be the nape of the neck/back. I was wondering if could still add a couple of darts to give it a bit more flattering shape, if not in the back how about the front or both?

2 AnswersHobbies & Crafts1 month agoHow to make Navajo White paint less yellow? see below?
I have a bunch of Navajo White paint left over that I'd like to use up, but I'm sick of the color. Yes I know I can add white paint and lighten it up, which i will likely do, but that doesn't get rid of the yellow undertone. I was wondering if adding a bit of purple/violet would offset the yellow?
Again, i'm looking for less yellow!
