Xamarin without Mac Host Agent
I just downloaded the new version of Xamarin last week. In the old time, I need to install a mac host agent and ran it every times. That is not very good. I found the new version can build the ios app without that Mac Host Agent. They use SSH remote login to build the app. You only have to enter "remote login" in the spotlight search, then enable remote login in sharing windows. Then that is!
However, I found my iOS device still need to connect with my mac book. If they can do the debug redirect to my windows laptop, then that is great!
Edge Error:can't reach this page
After I updated my laptop to Windows 10 about a week, today, I suddenly found out the edge browser cannot connect to the internet. However, my Chrome browser in the same laptop is working fine. Also, I can reach the website by entering IP address in Edge Browser. I did a research on the internet. Some people mentioned that may be the dns server. I checked my laptop by using nslookup, It is working well. Finally, I found some people mentioned on the internet, that may be caused by DNS Client is not running. Then I went to the services setting, I found "DNS Client" is disabled. Then I enabled that and start it. Now, that is working now
Windows 10 Upgrade Errors: Fail to config
This afternoon, I rebuilt a pc with Windows 8. That is not much problems about that, however, after I finished the process of rebuilding and trying to upgrade for Windows 10. I downloaded Windows 10 Upgrade assistant. It helped me to download the windows 10 installation files. However, the 1st attempt is failed after all files are installed, but it said more one of components are failed to configure. And it restored to Windows 7. In 2nd attempt, I unplugged all USB external devices, such as printers and scanners. Then it upgraded successfully. If you faced the similar errors, maybe you can try this method!
I upgraded my pc to Windows 10
Last night, I spent about an hour to upgrade my pc to Windows 10, because the free offer from microsoft for Windows 10 Upgrade will be end on July 2016. I don't want to miss that. Moreover, I have finished the major projects.
I got Toshiba Satellite which I bought it around September ,2015. That is already tested by Toshiba to ensure Windows 10. Thus, I have no problems for the upgrade. Moreover, all apps are working such as Android Studio, Visual Studio. Not bad at all, that sounds faster than Windows 8.1. I am happy about that! And I got back the "Start" menu which I love since Windows 95!
I wish you got same lucks as me!
Kindle from Move Closing Down Sales
I got the 1st Generation of Kindle about ten years ago. Then I changed to use a tablet to read books about a few years, but that is not very good for eyes. Last month,Move (a sub-brand of Dick Smith) had a closing down sales because all dick smith stores need to be closed down. There were a lot of stocking had a bargain. I used this chance to buy a Knidle Touch 7" for 30% off around $75! I think that is a value for money as a eBook reader. That has a better screen(167 ppi) than my old one. It got a touch screen without a keyboard, that is lighter and easier to carry around. That is lighter than my iPad Mini (1st Generation) I love it! Only one disadvantage is without a backlight screen, but eInk screen is better for my eyes.
