    New Mac Mini M1 chip and compatibility

    The older Mac Minis used Intel CPUs that were based on x86 architecture. The latest Mac Mini has M1 chip and doesn't have a CPU with x86 architecture. How is the software and operating system compatible with the new chip? I just don't get how this architecture works.

    What is the purpose of chipset drivers?

    Chipset drivers are not like GPU drivers. If I do not install them after installing Windows 10 anew, I don't see any problem like not being able to play games or use GPU based software. What is the purpose of installing them? They are downloadable from AMD (or Intel) website or motherboard...

    Is it possible to run hacks and cheats on hardware level on gaming consoles (xbox and PS4)?

    I never owned a gaming console. I don't know much about them. In PCs, you can run whatever code or software you want on your PC. This allows you to cheat on video games, even online. Some people even use hardware based cheats on PCs, such as PCIeScreamer (to read or write computer memory) or...

    Is it bad to recharge a new phone's battery without battery being completely consumed?

    Years ago, I used to keep hearing this. I should recharge my brand new phone's battery only after the battery is 0% (completely consumed). Is this true? Maybe not true for today's smart phones. What do you recommend? Any research done on this? What are your experiences?

    Disabling Game DVR and Game Bar fixed FPS cap problem at fullscreen mode

    I suddenly realized games started running at 60 FPS despite the fact that I have a 165 Hz monitor and that nVidia control center settings are just fine. It just started out of blue and previously there was no such problem. Maybe some Windows update triggered it but I just can't remember what...

    Oh man!, I am so freaking nostalgic about Nehalem

    Do you remember when Nehalem came out? It was a huge, incredible performance jump. It was crazy. I had bought a complete new system with this chip i7-920 and combined it with an Radeon HD5870. It was Battlefield BC2 and Dirt 2 times, the games were amazing, the weather was amazing and the amount...

    I found some of the game developers on Linkedin. These guys worked/are working on some of the games lots of people play, like Battlefield.

    Upgrading from G930

    I have an G930 and been using it over 4 years. I plan to keep it until it dies. I'd like to get a recommendation for a new headset just in case. I can spend up to 400$ but I am not sure it would be worth spending that much. I will primarily use it for gaming and music. I am not sure if I can...

    Why does Dirt 2 look better than newer Dirt games?

    It might be a placebo that Dirt 2 looks better than newer Dirt games.:):) Nevertheless, I wanted to ask you. Is this the case for you as well? Does anyone else who feel the same? The lighting in the game Dirt 2 could make it look more shiny as compared to other Dirt games so it looks better...

    Changing from PG278QR (TN) to PG279Q (IPS)? Worth it?

    I currently have an PG278QR TN panel. It is a Gsync 165Hz 1440p monitor. I used my brother's IPS and loved how better it looked. It has an annoying backlight and IPS glow but it still looks great. What do you think? Would be worth from changing PG278QR to PG279Q? Or should I wait for Gsync HDR...

    Want to sell my Ryzen 1700 and get a 8700k. Is it stupid or greedy?

    Hello, I am disappointed with my Ryzen 1700. I lost the silicon lottery and got a bad CPU. It does not overclock well. I am stuck with 3700MHz. With Nzxt Kraken x62, it is 45°C at idle and 75°C under load. My vcore is 1.25v. With anything less this vcore, the system is not stable. CPU Load line...
