So I see I don't have the Creator's Update as I'm still on the Anniversary Update at: Version 1607 build 14393.1358 Hmm, maybe I should try and get another OEM power brick and start using it and see if the problems go away... Heat-wise what would you use to monitor lopaka? I've got

Android and devices should always be approached from the "is there a community modding it" perspective. And no, Apple is a terrible choice even if it's the best fit because they are a terrible company, building crap (from a hardware perspective) and actively preventing repairs & recycling. On
