I don't understand why Paul didn't test the Oneplus 3 (largely similar to the 3T, but even cheaper)

Edge - major flaw
I somehow stumbled across a “bad” website that is putting up a fake malware warning, and stopping me getting to any other tab on Edge.
I crashed Edge deliberately, but when it restarts, it automatically reopens the tabs, including the one which caused the problem.
This is a BIG design flaw. Chrome lets you restore your tabs if you choose – but you can elect not to.
How could they screw this up so badly?
This web post sums it all up nicely - https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2015/09/regaining-control-over-edge/

Xbox 360 streaming music off a Windows 10 PC
Hi,
I work in IT, I'm a developer, but this has defeated me.
I have a WIndows 10 desktop PC with my music on it. I have an Xbox 360 that I'm in no rush to replace. They are on the same network, in the same room. I want to use the "old" xbox music player to play music from the PC but I can't. It comes up and says it can't find any albums/songs. The xbox can see the PC, but the PC doesn't seem to see the xbox... the relevant built in Firewall settings appear to be setup to let the xbox through.
Any advice please, or tests I can do?
Thanks,
- Rob

Windows 10 Laptop setup for a child - advice please
I dont have children, but a friend has asked me setup a new Windows 10 laptop for her 9 year old son. She says he'll use it for Minecraft, but is hoping he'll use it for homework etc. too...
What are your recommendations on how to set this up please? Parental Controls? Microsoft Account setup? Security suite?

Nexus 5 replacement for October 2016
Hi,
I want a "pure Google" replacement for my Nexus 5, but the Pixel, although ideal, is too expensive at £599. I never bough the 5X because of the poor battery life - which is a priority for me.
My shortlist just now is just a Oneplus 3 (£329). But are there others I'm missing?
I feel like Google is taking a step backwards in terms of getting their pure Google message out there. I got a new Samsung A5 2016 phone at work recently. Its a beautiful phone, but the customisations to Android are awful, confusing and unncecessary. I installed Google Now Launcher which helped a bit though.
I dont think this is just me asking, there must be lots of others feeling the same today.
