    ryzen 5000 real consumption?

    Late to the party, but for what it's worth. I went from 5600 to 5700X (i know, sidegrade, but i do x265 encoding and 2 cores are useful). All the rest being the same, the 5700X runs 1-2 C cooler than the 5600 at 100% load. I am very satisfied by the thermal behaviour.

    Pricing is getting crazy again

    I don't think it's the fault of the dollar. We are seeing price hikes too, while we have Euro, in anything PC related compared to pre-covid19 and even during covid-19. The 3600 got + EUR10 in Amazon, in the last 2 months, i 'd say.

    Linus throws some keyboards in the dishwasher

    Ha! Americans! My water is so hard that provided this works, the keyboard would be coated with a layer of calcium based deposit... There is a much safer way for membrane keyboards. Just take out the keys (i use a screwdriver as lever), use cotton swabs with 90 degree alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to...

    Windows 10 May update version 2004 or 20H1

    Good grief! I used 2 programs (O&O Shut Up10 and Win10 Privacy something) + disabled all telemetry tasks + group policy to disable anything that seemed telemetry based. And after all that, afer many days from the installation, i get from the firewall, request for outbound connection for ...

    I guess it's part of the new MS doctrine of taking over your machine: "Windows knows better. You need US keyboard, admit it! Stop removing it!" o_O

    It can be ignored with a bit of cursing and bitching every time you try to change language... It's extremely annoying... That's why there are so many people asking help about this in google. Normally, if you have 2 languages in the language bar, you swap between them, pressing ALT-SHIFT. But...

    Windows 10 May update version 2004 or 20H1

    No... My Win10 installation is too new to be already hacked, i already have disabled all remote desktop related services, i run outbound firewall too and 3rd party antivirus with several scanning engines and HIPS (SecureAPlus Pro) and most importantly, it's an issue known for years... That M$...

    Windows 10 May update version 2004 or 20H1

    Oh,i see... But i swear, when i first installed Win10 and had Cortana disabled, it wasn't showing in the task manager's startup list (even as disabled). After some Win updates, it does. Anyway, i can live with it, since i disabled it. Ah, i didn't know you can uninstall the store, although i did...

    Xbox? No, thanks. I can't stand these things and their "game controllers". I only play with keyboard and mouse.

    Windows 10 May update version 2004 or 20H1

    Actually Skyrim is one of my newest games.Imagine that... But since i play few new games and Skyrim is amongst my favorites, it's big thing for me. Yes, my friend, i have seen what you say, 20 years ago, when i was been advised to start with Kanotix. Same things "you get to know your PC, a new...

    Windows 10 May update version 2004 or 20H1

    Well, a few days later,i 'd say that i have everything figured out... Last was the "Play" section of the start menu, where apparently MS had some proposed apps or games, which i clicked and got downloaded without me realizing how... Another lesson i learnt, is that "Cortana is too hard to die"...

    Windows 10 May update version 2004 or 20H1

    Ah, WINE... I 've heard of this so many years before, had so many hopes. Then i stumbled upon shell comands, as usual... Thanks for the encouragement, but ultimately, i believe there is a good reason of why Linux has still so little user share in desktop. Expert's opinion...

    Windows 10 May update version 2004 or 20H1

    I wish i could run Linux full time, but it's not for me... I have windows dependent applications and games that tie me to Windows. I had decided to stick with Win7, but ultimately, because of covid19 i had to run some applications and i have to use Win10... So i bit the bullet... The funny...
