Living Room / Fingerprint sensor under screen: does it work well?

« on: July 03, 2019, 03:26 AM »

Hello!

I like the idea of the whole mobile phone screen to be a fingerprint sensor.

However, I read somewhere that you need to click on specific area of the screen and you need to wait for a percentage to go to 100% before you lift your finger.

Is that the case for every such phone?

I want it to work really fast.

Thanks!

Living Room / Re: Is it possible to change the buttons in Motorola G7?

An option that might be of interest:
the G7 also has one button navigation, not sure how it works, you could let is know if you try it.

Yes I tried it, I don't like it. It's slower to slide to go back when you can just tap.

The left button goes back and the right button opens the task manager.
Is it possible to switch them?

Thanks!

Living Room / Monitor Web Usage

« on: June 06, 2019, 09:47 AM »

Hello!

A department at work has several employees and they work on processing files on a sharepoint website.

I want to track how long they take viewing/working on a specific webpage to measure productivity.

Do you know an easy IE plugin to log webpages/urls and time spent on them?

Or could I do that at the network level e.g. with a sniffer or something (I do not have such access though)?

Thanks!

Are you actually asking about a phone-screen, pc-screen or screens in general?

-Ath (May 19, 2019, 08:09 AM)

Phone screen and reading texts mainly or websites (not sure if it makes a difference)

Living Room / Which screen spec is most important for comfortable viewing?

« on: May 19, 2019, 06:43 AM »

Hello!

Which screen spec is the most important for less eye tiring viewing?

A phone has high contrast but low pixel density and I wonder which is more important given that I read alot on the screen and my eyes get tired. Or anything else I should look for?

Thanks!

If I use Phone Explorer to backup the apps, will it work? Will the settings be backed up too? Can I just restore the backup to my new device?

If you get a high-speed SD card, it's pretty good.  I use one in my surface and XPS, as on both of those I can't upgrade the hard drive or it's the largest capacity.  I don't notice a difference in most day to day tasks.

Which you consider high speed?
E.g. is this high speed? https://www.amazon.c...Memory/dp/B07FBB8K9N

Living Room / How to expand laptop storage?

« on: May 06, 2019, 06:55 AM »

Hello!

I want to expand my medicre 128GB laptop storage.
I bought a 128GB USB but I need more and I don't find cheap USB that are compact so that I have them always connected.

My next guess is an SD card.

I found some reasonable deals:
https://www.amazon.c...Memory/dp/B07FBB8K9N
https://www.amazon.c...dapter/dp/B07N31KRZL
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F2D15MK
https://www.amazon.c...dapter/dp/B00V62XBQQ
https://www.amazon.c...rmance/dp/B073JY5T7T
https://www.amazon.c...dapter/dp/B012PKVLJQ

Are they reliable? Can they stay connected for years and act like a hard drive?
Should I go for a microSD with adapter or an SD?

thanks!

I see my Google backup is ON and there is a gmail account of mine as a backup account.

Shall I assume that if I login to my new phone with that gmail account, it will restore everything?

Can I check that?

Unfortunately I use apps that don't work if the phone is rooted.

Is there any other solution?

By the way, I cannot find this Google function?

Living Room / How to calculate the area of a graph?

« on: March 05, 2019, 05:51 PM »

Hello

I have this graph and I want to calculate the amount in grams of glucose that is above the straight line of 100mg/dl for the whole period of about 5h.

https://img.medscape...s/gavin/slide021.gif

I think I need to calculate the area of the triangle, but this will give me a unit of mg/dL x hours which does not make sense.

Can anyone advise me please?

Thanks!

Hello!

Shall I assume that Powershell is the best tool to do the above?

I want to copy specific cells from specific sheet in a specific excel document, into a word document, format it properly and email the formatted text to a specific email address at specific time every day.

Is it going to be huge coding to do that?

Can I do all these within MS Office?

Any hints?
