    Why Your iPhone Keyboard Suddenly Feels Broken — and How to Fix It

    I can confirm my iPhone 16 PM keyboard has been trash the past few months when I try to type. I figured it was just my screen protector, so I was going to get a new one and put it on. When I type I never had as many issues as I've had in the past. I never even considered it was a a software...

    Amazon Prime Video is about to get worse — again

    Thanks. This reminded me to cancel the add-free add-on that my daughter asked me for while she was binge watching a show. She told me to cancel it and I forgot to last week when she told me. Now I just need to see how I can cancel Prime and them not notice lol.

    I got nothing, what about you?

    I want a new gpu. I have a 3070ti and play in 1440p. I have a 7600X3D and it barely reaches 40-50% most of the time. My 3070ti on the other hand is always at around 95-98%. I assume my 3070ti is my weak point and could use some updating. I'm going to stalk Microcenter and look for a...

    Which upgrade path do I take?

    I didn't even know the chip existed. It wouldn't have mattered since the Microcenter here didn't open in Miami until around September. I absolutely love it for gaming. Since I only play PUBG it does everything I need it to do. I have zero regrets about not getting the 7800X3D now.

    Another price hike for YouTubeTV

    Even though My father in law pays for it and lets us use it at home, this sucks. I have a feeling he might ditch it. It's getting to the point I can get cable tv bundled with internet and have it come out cheaper, lol. I know after a year of having cable they'll increase the price every...

    Microcenter: 7600X3D bundle for $400

    Installed mine today. Absolutely beast of a unit compared to my 9700k. I wish I'd of bought a 7800X3D a long time ago so I wouldn't have had to be dealing with 100% cpu usage in PUBG. What I don't regret is getting the 7600X3D. For gaming, it's awesome and the lower cpu power is nice for...

    Which upgrade path do I take?

    omg..... I wish I'd of upgraded long long ago to the 7800X3D just based on how good these x3D cpu's are. This chip is fantastic and almost silent! My 9700k my cpu was almost 100% every single game on PUBG and now it's hovering around 40% usage and no more stuttering. It's night and day...

    Microcenter: 7600X3D bundle for $400

    2015 Passat TDI. I'm on Windows 10. I really don't want Windows 11, but I'll get it if it's a huge benefit. I do remember hearing about the new scheduler giving better performance. I'll have to watch some Youtube videos on different chips to see how much difference it actually is.

    Microcenter: 7600X3D bundle for $400

    Just picked mine up today with a few other goodies. This is what I drove today to get it. No ragrats! I could have gotten a 7800X3D, but I don’t feel like I needed one. That combo would have cost me about $215 more to buy, i really didn’t wanna spend much. I will say if the 7600X3D...

    Microcenter: 7600X3D bundle for $400

    I'm going Wednesday to Miami. I plan to get the 7600X3D combo to replace my 9700k. I only play PUBG, so I figure it'll be worthy upgrade. I thought about getting the 7800X3D, but for $200 bucks savings and not a ton more FPS, I figure it'll be fine.

    Which upgrade path do I take?

    This is what I think I'm going to do. It would be nice to keep the 3770ti a little longer and upgrade that in a year or two. Maybe when Zen 6 comes out I could reevaluate my setup and see if it's worth upgrading to that and then upgrading the GPU also. The more videos I watch the more...

    Which upgrade path do I take?

    If Microcenter was open when the 7800X3D was $480 I would have bought it, but the closest was Atlanta (8'ish hour drive). I really want to get the 7800X3D, but the low power usage of the 7600X3D is kind of intriguing. I know it'll be a huge upgrade over my 9700k, so only spending $450...

    Which upgrade path do I take?

    I have been out of the computer upgrade loop for some time now. I'm currently on a 9700k, 32gb G Skill DDR4 4000, Asus PrimeZ390-A motherboard, Nvidia 3070ti, and my monitor is a Dell S2721DGF (165hz 1440p gaming). Not sure if I'm missing anything else. Before this I had a 3770k for about...
