    Microsoft appears to have given up on cloud gaming in the short term

    I had the opposite experience with Geforce Now Ultimate. Its pretty much identical to my real gaming machine; even at 4K. However, it might be because I have a reliable and fast Internet connection. Looking forward to it growing in popularity are most people get better Internet connections.

    Questions about my Asus motherboard's Wifi+Bluetooth module's Antenna

    I have an older Z97 Deluxe Motherboard with builtin 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.0. I would like to replace the antenna with the best aftermarket antenna. Is the antenna also responsible for Bluetooth reception; or, is it only for Wi-Fi. I found a couple of antennas (below). However, I'm not sure if...

    Recommendations best premium DDNS service

    I've used DynDNS's DDNS service for years (for my custom domain name). It allowed me to create ad-hoc sub-domains easily and quickly. Since they've stop offering DDNS, I have no choice but to switch to an equivalent service that I can trust. Since I'm using my Asus router's builtin DDNS...

    If you haven't tried Topre Realforce...

    I just had a chance to listen to both leopold/filco mx browns side by side on the below youtube video. The MX brown filco "still" has that annoying resonant ping; at least in that video. Not sure what's causing that; but, at least that video answered my question. I may wait for the Ducky...

    If you haven't tried Topre Realforce...

    Thanks for the response. It sounds like I may want to switch to MX Browns; since i dont want to take away from the tactile feel at all. Originally, the whole reason I bought a mechanical keyboard was to somewhat reproduce the feel I had on my old school IBM "M" keyboard that came with the IBM...

    If you haven't tried Topre Realforce...

    I've been using a Leopold MX blue tenkeyless keyboard for a year now. I like the tactile feel and the clicking sound; however, the clicking sound a tad bit too loud. It would've been great to find a keyboard similar to mine where the clicking sound was a little less pronounced. I keep hearing...

    Leopold vs. Filco

    I chose the Leopold MX Blue over the Filco MX Blue. The Filco had this thin, cheap pingy, lego plastic sound to it; like the keyscaps were about to fly right off the keyboard. The Leopold keys felt tighter and more solid (more closer to the original IBM model M keyboards). Anyway, recently, I...

    Looking for a new tenkeyless mechanical keyboard

    I currently use the Leopold cherry blue tenkeyless keyboard. I preferred it over the Filco blue equivalent. The Filco felt too thin/cheap/light plastic-like. Whereas Leopold has a more solid/tighter/heavier feel to it; which is more desirable to me; at least that was my perception. I...

    Multiple Drives and SSDs: Where to place swap file

    It really depends on the type of work they do. The swap file seems to be used mostly in creativity type apps such as image editing/audio/video programs copying and pasting large amounts of data (larger than available physical RAM). My older PC at home is maxed out at 8GBs or RAM. It's not that...

    Multiple Drives and SSDs: Where to place swap file

    I cringe every time I see a computer hobbyist/enthusiast recommend disabling the Window page file. There's a reason why you'll never see an IT professional disable the pagefile of their servers in an enterprise production environment. Its not because they don't know how. As a previous...

    Looking for high quality shielded locking/smart latch 6foot ESATA-ESATA cable

    How do I know if it has a latch that locks? Maybe I'm missing something? Maybe it's possible all ESATA cables dont have the ability to snap into place the way internal motherboard sata connectors do. Seems pretty lame that these esata cables can just pull right off. I already spent a great...
