I’m finishing setting up new computer and installed Skype. After I launched it I thought I ran Skype modern app. But after some time, I realized that I installed correct version.

And honestly new version is disaster. If you don’t believe me search internet. And for now let’s go in details.

As beginning I would like to state that I’m using Skype more than 10 years and I was quite happy user even when they were massive connectivity issues. I know many places where Skype is “company” messenger. I used it quite extensively.

First and most important feature for me, it is not possible anymore to have a chat with every person in own window. Pervious every chat was in

If you are computer enthusiast, you probably heard about overclocking. Basically, overclocking is making some part of your computer works faster than it set by manufacturer. Usually people overclock CPU, memory, video cards.

There two questions why they doing that and why it is possible?

Let’s start from why it is possible. Usually manufacturer test chip for its performance. There are higher quality chips and lower quality. Obviously higher quality chips can perform faster or fully. Less quality chips failed some checks but can perform at lower speeds or became less functional product. For example, for CPU if it failed to work say at 4 GHz it can work as say 3 Ghz. Or if it fails to work as

  • Edge

Today I would like to talk about browser from Microsoft called Edge. Many of you are using Windows 10 and Edge is default system browser.

Microsoft released Windows 10 3 years ago. And they started to develop Edge probably like 2 years before release date. It is around 5 years of development. And it still fails to work properly. And I’m not talking about rendering or similar things. They are fine. I don’t even remember if I every had any issues with any website. But application itself drive me nuts.

When they release Windows 10 I was using Edge a lot, so Microsoft will have chance to collect all information and I hopped they will fix it soon. It didn’t

I finished setting up Windows with all apps and found this:

And there is Solitare as well but it least it is Microsoft game.

Seriously? I bought my Windows 10 and you trying to make more money out of it by installing some bloatware? And we talking about 1Gb of games.

For last few years I have few inkjet printers. And ink cost way too much for them. So let me share few thought about ink.

My last few printers were about $100 and they actually includes scanner and sometimes fax and also they are network printers so you can place them anywhere where they can connect to Wifi. All these printers where great in terms in print quality, services etc. But they share same problem: ink cost. Usually printers sold with limited amount of ink in cartridges so say after around 100 - 150 black or around 30-50 color pages your printer will ask to buy new ink. And very quickly you will realize that one cartridge will cost around

Update 7 Sep 2018. Deal got even better. In 1 - 2 month it will be for 6 users.

Note: I'm not work for Microsoft and I didn't get any profit or any other reward for posting it.

As I recently find out that many people are not aware of that deal. Basically if you want to use Microsoft office and they are people that can share it with then you can get 5 copies for $9.99 per month or $99 per year. Check it our here. I personally using it for about 4 years now.

What is in the package:

  • You can install it on 5 PC's (Windows and Mac), 5 mobile phones and 5 tablets. I didn't test version of phone and tablet but on Windows there are many language available and there are proofing and thesaurus packages available for free. So say if you type in Word it not only checks spelling but suggesting to put comma, suggest to use alternative word etc
  • It will be always up to date and you don't need to pay for new version
  • You also will get great support. I tested it
  • Each user will get 1TB of OneDrive. I used it from iPhone, iPad and from PC. It works great. And for comparison 2TB of storage from Apple will cost the same amount. And you get only storage and nothing else
  • You can even edit documents from OneDrive in the web. You don't even need to install it anywhere.

I recently bought new PC and I have few DVD disks with it. From my point of view they are totally useless. Let me explain why.

Firstly it is really hard to find DVD drive these days. And there is reason why. DVD disk can at best write little more than 8GB of information. But it does it quite slow and you need special 2 sided disk. They are more expensive and have compatibility issues with other drives. Also they are noisy and they are quite fragile. Sunlight destroys them very quickly, you can easily break or scratch them. Also time ruins them very quickly except special one that designed for longevity and they are expensive. All notebooks that sell

Recently I bought new PC and one of the last steps of installation latest version of Windows 10 it asked me to create PIN . I don't want to create PIN and I prefer to use my Microsoft account and password but looks like there were no way not to do it. I personally think this is not acceptable. I should login any way I like. If Microsoft would like me to use PIN because it is more secure or faster they have to explain it there and let me to decide. Anway I created pin and after I logged in into Windows I deleted it. Great. Then after next restart I was prompted to create PIN again. WTF? But

I recently bought new PC and then I realized how hard is to move Outlook 2016 accounts to new PC. I think Microsoft totally should make it much easier and preferably in one click. But we have what we have. So let me explain easy way to do so.

But before I start I have to let you know that this way have two limitations:

  1. You should move to the same version. In my case I move from latest to latest version so I'm good
  2. Your Windows account name should be the same because profile information contains directory names in binary form and it is not easy to move. Again I created the same account so I was good
