Which is why I buy Chinese made goods only from brands I really trust, e.g. Anker. When I see the identical product pictures on the websites of 3-4-5-many different Amazon sellers I know (1) it's probably all crap, and (2) all those resellers could disappear tomorrow and the warranty is only as...
I subscribe to Adobe's Photography Plan (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc), which has minor updates every 2 months and a major update each October. Adobe's policy is to support dates only on supported OSs, right now to the chagrin of old Macs. By this coming October Adobe will require Win 11, and...
Why do you say that?
I'm not an IT pro, and I need to sleep at least 3 hours a week so I have only so much time to devote to the care and feeding of my computer OS's. I use Linux when I absolutely have to (Windows subsystem for Linux) but I can deal with only 1 OS at a time. In particular...
No surprise. CCP is trying to undermine the US in as many ways as possible, including destabilizing financial markets.

I won't bother to quote from the article. Everyone can just follow the link. To me this sounds like a classic stock market swindle, with some (Chinese?) insiders shorting NVidia stock.
Guys,
I appreciate these responses. AND I appreciate how I should learn to get this information from the User Manual. Teaching a man to fish, if you will.
Update of sorts. Got phone calls and email from Belkin's "escalation" department. Email sounded peeved because I hadn't responded to phone calls. Those calls were like 6 am. Didn't these guys realize that i am in Pacific Time Zone, GMT-8?
So I called back. Got on hold for over 1 hour, at...
40 hour work week? In the 21st century?
Or you get your weekends back, and maybe a few weeknights.
Probably several times that.
So the ROI is probably 1 year, if you figure in the time it takes an IT tech to remove the old card and install the new card, update drivers, etc., etc. But the...
Where did you buy these items? How much for the motherboard? I've seen prices like up to $800, which seems like some dealer is scalping. By any chance did you have to do a backorder?
On Win 11? I just want the Power and Settings icons above the Win 11 Start Button.. I'e done some Win 11...
That PC Cart would be great, but is 2 inches too wide to fit in between my desk and filing cabinet, and I can't move the desk to the left any. Too bad. If this cart had fit, I would have ordered it right away.
Well, I have to say that as I've gotten older, it's a bit harder on my back, because my system is in a "slot" between my desk on the left side and my file cabinet to the right.
I am an "adult" and I even have adult children, with children of their own. Nothing as nice as grandchildren. :)...
How do you guys with heavy cases move them around on carpeted floors? it's a bitch, impossible, to just slide them on the carpet.
I'm thinking cases with say 3-4-5 3.5" HDDs, probably water cooling, probably a full tower with a steel frame. Me, I had to build a "skateboard" but it's a bitch...
I'm trying to figure out if there will be a lot of rear-mount motherboards when it's "time" for me to upgrade my motherboard, etc.
Lookikng at cases, I suspect that with a dremel and some rubber grommets you could modify some current cases to accept a rear-mounted board. Bu t I'm not a...
That all said (including by me), can't put all this on Trump. The CCP isn't exactly playing according to the established rules of trade, and Trump is properly responding to all that.
Fist I take offense at your suggestion that I work for Lexar or any of the other flash drive companies. Only drive company I worked for was Shugart Associates, and they made floppy drives and low-cost Winchesters (a term you don't hear any longer.) My high-tech career was in software product...
You are so totally right. I always waste a ridiculous amount of time just getting the case to board pins plugged into the right header pins. And I use only ASUS boards so at least the header positions haven't changed on me. The solution has to come with the case and the board manufacturers...
I'm old enough to remember Sputnik. Oct, 1957. People in the US started to worry if a Soviet ICBM could hit US cities with an H-Bomb. It didn't help any that the first US satellite launch was a failure. I was a kid then and I and my friends were all worried about war with the USSR.
I wonder if one of the flash drive makers will make something in a bigger form factor, maybe longer, maybe wider, to fit in more chips. Just imagine the possibilities.
Prices always dropping. Capacities increasing. Amazing compared with floppy disks, at 1.2 MB formatted. Much more convenient for small amounts of storage say < 256 GB than external HDDs.
Biggest issue is speed of USB 3.x
I dedicate USB flash drives to just one or two uses each. I use a...
OK, I'm not exactly a noob, but I don't know as much as I should about how many PCIE are there in this motherboard. Also, I'd like to add at least one more NVMe drive, but I'm concerned about taking too many lanes away from the card adapter slots. I have 2 x16 slots, for my GPU and a SATA...
I dunno. I don't think he will be invited to really big funding rounds. Who in the institutional/pension community is going to give this any money to play with?
What happened? Microsoft used to have an army of testers who would do a mix of manual and automated testing to help ensure the quality of the product. In 2014 they were all fired. Their strategy for testing Windows is now three fold:- Devs are expected to test their own code now- There is now a...
I have also had to RMA Corsair memory twice now, and will never buy it again, regardless of the specs, etc.
What brands have a good reputation for working with AMD motherboards? (I have to confess that I've turned into an AMD CPU loyalist.)
