Came back after a month off to see if things had got any better. Unfortunately not. I'll try again in the new year.

No. It logs me off while I'm actually using the site. I'm logged in fine, switch to another part of the forum and then I'm logged off. I really don't need this sort of "security" for a simple forum. It's not as if Tom's has my bank details or any important information about me.

By itself, this would just be an annoyance. But combine it with the front-page problems mentioned elsewhere (constant flickering between sizes) and Tom's is pretty much unusable. I hope that high priority is being given to both these problems and that a little more testing is done before future...

There is something very, very wrong with the main site. On my computer, using Chrome, pages flicker and flash between normal size and grossly enlarged. It really makes the site unusable. Coupled with the logging out problem in the forums I can see that I'll be deleting Tom's from my bookmarks if...

It's just logged me out again when switching forums! This is getting so annoying that I'm beginning to check the forums less frequently.

I'm finding that I need to keep logging in now, whereas before my account would stay logged in. It's becoming really annoying.

Macs don't "turn into" Windows computers. If it doesn't boot from a USB stick then either the stick is not bootable or there is a hardware error. Macs don't have a BIOS they use EFI. BTW, I'm not convinced that you can install OS X in a VMWare VM on this machine. I think the host OS is the...

The fact that iOS requires an ARM processor doesn't help.

IOS on a PC? I don't think so. Your post makes no sense. How do you change the boot order to select a different partition? You can only select a different physical disk that way.

Take it to an Apple reseller (preferably an Apple Store). You may have a hardware problem.

Use Internet Recovery to install OS X. http://osxdaily.com/2014/12/14/reinstall-os-x-mac-internet-recovery/

I think you would be lucky to get a replacement for a single stuck pixel (although the policy may vary at different Apple stores). Last I heard there needed to be at least 3 dead/stuck pixels on an iPad for the warranty to cover it.

I'd suggest that for a UEFI computer you should use the latest release of FreeNAS (11) rather than one from 2014.

This thread discusses your issue: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/unable-to-load-grub-bootloader-on-uefi-acer-predator-17/111233 As per the last post in that thread, you may have more luck with Fedora. Trying to install the firmware from another model may solve the problem or - more likely -...
