Bluetooth Speakers

First I bought a Fugoo for around $129 on special. I was very impressed but wondered about the UE Boom.

UE Boom dropped to $169 so I bought it. It needed charging out of the box (critical level it said) and after a few minutes it is at 80% ... I'm not buying it. Then I started reading people who had battery problems charging after a few months. Why did I not see that? The complaints were limited so let's hope it is not a general issue. So what do I think between UE Boom and Fugoo?
1. Fugoo sounds better to me. It is just hands down clearer. (Boom is good but Fugoo is better)
2. Fugoo 40 hrs. vs Boom 15 hrs (why did I even bother?)
3. Fugoo volume buttons easy to push - Boom very hard to push
4. Fugoo lighter and smaller
5. Boom has NFC - Fugoo does not
6. Boom can run dual speakers (who cares?)

I would recommend the Fugoo.

ShareX Set To Irfanview

I like ShareX to open a snip with IrfanView. Sometimes when updating, I lose that setting. This is one way to restore it. What likely change...
