Speed Up An Old MacBook: Phillip’s MacBook Pro is getting a little slow, he wonders "about either maxing out the ram to 8GB or replacing the hard drive with a SSD. Which upgrade do you think will give me the most bang for my buck?” We talk about  how to use the OS X Activity Monitor to figure out if you need more RAM, and talk about what an SSD will do for performance!
Will Windows 10 Run On WinCE ? Mike posted on our Facebook page, “you stated that Microsoft wants windows 10 on every device, does that include mini laptops with ARM processors running WINCE?? if so then I can finally use the $20 one that I bought off of eBay..... cause dam near NOTHING RUNS ON WINCE!!!”
Keep Your Gear Dry: Brian emails ask@tekthing.com, “Back on Tekzilla you reccomended some heavy duty, reusable desiccant packs. I like the idea of throwing a metal desiccant pack into every toolbox I own. What do you suggest?” Find out in the video!

LastPass On Phones? Alex writes ask@tekthing.com, "I've been looking into LastPass and I was wondering how it handles phone apps. I've seen youtube videos for browsers but nothing for apps. Example: I use both my banks website when on a computer or their mobile app on my phone. I'm assuming it can't post your credentials directly into the app but I wanted to double check with you guys." Shannon's got answers in the video! 
Stan's Apple Watch Experience Is Better Than Yours: Stan writes in with the suggestion that Patrick "obviously need(s) to spend more time with learning about the watch," then talks Apple Watch Wi-Fi, and reports on his -amazing- battery life. 
Shannon's Gaming PC: Shannon's finalized her list o' parts (here it is up on pcpartpicker.com), now she's waiting for everything to arrive so she can start building. Woot! This is gonna be a monster gaming rig!
Turn On Updates. Please!!! Please Don't Say My Name on the Show wrote ask@tekthing.com: "How about switching up the reminder at sign off every now and again to remind folks to help non-geek friends update their software?  I help some folks out with some tech support on occasion and I'm always amazed to see how many aren't regularly performing vital updates." We're on it!
