    Portable Monitor Setup?

    Does anyone make a battery-powered monitor/tv of any kind that has an HDMI input? Or are there any >8" tablets with an HDMI input? Ideally I'd like something in the 20-30" range. I need to set up a portable live-view of a camera feed for a photography event/shoot. Everything else I have will...

    Shadow of Mordor GOTY $17 - Indiegala

    I was super-excited about this, but apparently I already own it... ...Steam sales, you get me every time!

    ASUS - our 5 year warranty is really only 3 years

    That explains it! They just need to fix that feedback form and they'll finally see how bad their support is and reform their process!

    X-FI Titanium Replacement

    There's no such thing. Unless you are sitting in front of the band, it has to be mechanically reproduced for you to hear it.

    Laptop speakers inexplicably stopped working

    Running the Windows 10 preview on a few laptops, I have seen audio input and output fail completely, persisting across reboots. A day or two later, it just either starts or stops working again. No real rhyme or reason. Of course, in my case I know it's my fault because I'm running a preview...

    Advice on troubleshooting USB 3.0 dropouts?

    At one point I made it my personal mission to find a multiple-drive enclosure with USB 3.0 connectivity that would be really stable with large file transfers. Three enclosures across several computers in the lab later, (and yes--with many more different combinations of cable and hard drive)...

    Building a home Hyper-V server, are these parts compatible?

    People from the place you came to for advice are asking you about it. Based solely on that, it's probably safe for you to assume that it matters if you value the advice you came here to receive.

    Your computer is low on memory. Also....

    As some other posters have indicated, this error message seems to be triggering with heavy browser usage on newer versions of Windows (I have seen it a few times on different machines with 8.1) even when total RAM availability is above 40-50%. It appears to happen more when the system is left...

    NCASE M1 v2 Build Thread

    I can confirm that the Zotac GTX 980 AMP! (which happened to be the only thing in stock yesterday) fits into the case. Looks like this: http://imgur.com/XVPZaYu

    Full 4k/60Hz HTPC

    So, as the planet now knows, the GTX 970/980 series and compatible TVs/Receivers makes the dream possible. I can confirm that my setup is (at least reporting) 4K/60Hz/4:4:4. Currently I am running HDMI straight from the HTPC to the TV and relying on the ARC circuit for audio to hit the...

    4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 TV Database

    The Sony XBR 65X850B would also appear to be pushing 4k/60/4:4:4 properly. 60Hz is being reported and the color text looks perfectly legible. It's my understanding that previous "4K color tests" with this TV failed, but that was because they were performed by TV enthusiasts rather than by PC...

    Windows 10 Tech Preview is available

    As far as I know this is still an ongoing issue installing certain versions of Windows from USB drives. Some machines REFUSE to do it and the only explanation I've gotten is that Windows tries (without indicating it) to write information to to the USB drive instead of the target because at the...

    Windows 10 Tech Preview is available

    Very foolish and zero problems so far. Checking out features for the company is something I do as part of my job, so right now I'm linking all my accounts via People to see how dangerous that is concerning coworkers seeing personal stuff. We don't use Lync (or the Outlook social connectors) so...

    Windows 10 Tech Preview is available

    I've been running DisplayFusion for a number of years now, so honestly they probably could have changed it at any point and I wouldn't have noticed. ...Until now!

    Windows 10 Tech Preview is available

    Each window could have its own task bar but it was only showing me a universal view on both, I was using DisplayFusion to bifurcate them. Did they push that out through an update?
