    2010 21” iMac question

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    There is only one Jones movie. Just gonna leave that there. I was actually surprised but I really didn't see anything "woke" in it. I was highly highly expecting it. So that was nice. I'm interested in what people thought was "woke". In fact, if anything it called out the reality we live in...

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    saw the new Matrix in theaters... Can I get my money back? I came home, watched Matrix 1 to purge my memory and going forward I'm going to pretend it was the only one made. I'm thinking maybe I will never watch a sequel of anything again.

    Upgrading from 8700K to 12600K worth it?

    sure, whatever works. My point is to keep the 8700k it still rocks, and do whatever is cheap to upgrade son's machine. More money to buy silver with :P people are all over wasting money on overpriced trucks and computer hardware as if the dollar is not spiraling out of control.

    Upgrading from 8700K to 12600K worth it?

    nope.. waste of money :D Now, if you were upgrading your son's computer anyway, why not... but a better option might be just picking up another 8700k cheap..

    Is 2021 a dud for gaming?

    I gave up on games in 2019. I have a MacBook now, life is good. I don’t miss it one bit. Games just are not what they used to be. Guess I’m old Long live, R6, ghost recon, BF2, BC2, early Siege, im sure a couple CODs we worth mentioning in there… CS, BF1942, Q3arena ohh boy… StarCraft!! I...

    Sync two computers over the internet

    Yea, KISS for sure, I liked syncthing for that reason. Or just delete it all? haha.. I freed myself from "data" about 2 years ago and have not regretted it once. No movies, no pre-downloads apps or games, I slimmed down 19 years of photos (my kids growing up) to about 200 pics per year, so...

    What's the deal with those og Apple iPhone Docks? Where did they go? [iPhone dock thread]

    The docks are just not needed anymore. Originally made for iPods you were ok with leaving on a stereo or something. AirPlay and BT replace the need for audio docks, what left charging? HDMI? cable options are fine for those. I have an Apple lightning Dock with a 3.5mm jack on the back. It...

    USB sound device with 5.1 optical out for a Mac?

    I understand this. For that a TS3 would be legit. But someone above said to slink is not multi channel?

    Preventing Windows from "auto" upgrading to Windows 11

    Idk, seems to be suggesting Linux or MacOS is a reasonably relitive to his question. Windows 11 is not really all that different from 10. In fact, the gui might be better (if configured) for elderly. But if there is concerns with windows 11 and MS forcing it then it sounds like an alternative...

    How do I determine if my CPU is a Chinese Fake?

    Highly highly doubt they are different grade chip. Warranty means nothing outside of its original server it was in.

    Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB Edition is a winner for power users

    I’m not 100% on this, but I think LTSC is just the normal OS than doesn’t get features updates btw. Maybe a few windows apps missing that were easy to remove anyways. People too worked up about trash on the start menu you can remove very quickly. It’s Not like LTSB was, LTSB was great. LTSC...

    Cloning onto a new PC

    Idk, I guess I do it too often. Windows reinstall is 30mins, drivers around 10mins tops. Apps, 10-20mins? I load a base set and then just install as needed. Less is more here. I suppose if one has a bunch of adobe crap, or VIsual Studio to load up it can take a while. Still I think we get way...

    How do I determine if my CPU is a Chinese Fake?

    :D Yes I’m aware it’s a old technique. I was doing on many many years ago. It was more of a joke, a way to make it no longer have Chinese writing on the lid that was concerning him. Wasn’t just the coolers too. The Lids themselves had high corners. Kinda cup like. Very evident when you started...

    Best <= $500 Email/Web box for pops?

    No kook-aid here just calling it as I see it. I see it first had at work, far far less problems on MacOS over all. When there are issues it’s almost always with a MS app. Let’s leave 2016-2017 mbp keyboards out of this :p But in my personal life I can tell you the family I have moved to MacOS...

    Apple leaks M1 Max Duo, and M1 Ultra

    Yea I was gonna say, isn’t Apple already the gaming winner? Just because a niche set of “elite desktop gamers” don’t use them, the majority does. Looking at Apples arm lineup, it’s only time before a MacBook Pro is outperforming most $1500 gaming PCs at their own game.

    How do I determine if my CPU is a Chinese Fake?

    It’s just a Chinese market Intel cpu. I have see a few of them from servers we collected from global offices. China is not faking intel Xeon cpus (yet lmao) and let’s be honest, when they do start making knockoff cpus, they will be branded with the same English markings of the chips their trying...

    Cloning onto a new PC

    Friends don’t let friends clone. Your asking for problems. Operating Systems are disposable. Do a clean install, install your apps and drivers, copy your data and enjoy. We refuse to clone at work, too many issues.

    Win 11 pro's? con's? opinions?

    I like the new start menu, finally feels like “metro” is gone. It has some maturing to do for sure but it’s looking like a good start DirectStorage is neat. Everything else’s, who cares, it’s Windows. It doesn’t perform any different from 21H2 W10.

    Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB Edition is a winner for power users

    LTSB was sorta special and despite what some say, I found it to be the most stable Windows 10 to date, it’s just 1607 without the bloat and telemetry stuff. MS learned, and LTSC has too much crap in it, basically it’s all about support for longer on the old channel. Might as well stick to the...

    Who builds systems on the side to sell on Craigslist or eBay?

    That pretty much sums it up, no one wants desktops anymore that will allow you to turn a profit. If they are on CL or eBay they are looking for dirt cheap Honestly, I even moved away from parting out... I just build my rig once, use it as long as I can then build a new one. By the time I...

    Dell Precision t3500 for gaming?
