TBH most blue screens are hardware faults. And a blue screen caused by a hardware faults gives misleading debug info that will send you on a wild goose chase. Before digging through any logs, make sure you don't have failing hardware.
The performance gap is not true anymore. It used to be true, but they've come far enough with power management in modern chips that laptop parts are pretty much as fast as the desktop ones. For example (numbers taken from wikipedia, ranges represent base to boost clocks):
Desktop 1070: 1920...
SATA vs NVMe really shouldn't make much difference in real world use. The real advantage of the SSD is latency not bandwidth. I've got an SSD in an older SATA 2.0 box. Still blazing fast compared to a platter disk.
This. The proper way to tweak windows 10 is to install it and leave it alone. Turn off telemetry if it really bothers you. People need to get past of the xp days of mucking around in services.msc and friends.
But it really is crime that any computer ever has windows 10 on a platter disk...
Two options:
1. These websites whitelist browsers based on the user agent string and they have only whitelisted chrome, not chromium. You could fix this with a user agent spoofing extension to make chromium advertise itself as chrome.
2. Less likely but it's possible these websites rely on some...
I've got a very strange issue that I can't figure out. I've got a couple devices at one location (Location A) that I am using OpenVPN to connect to another location (Location B). So far I've set up four devices at Location A:
1. An Android phone. Works as expected.
2. A Chromebook, using the...
I assume the cheaper model will be mobile-only with no ability to use a dock. You'd save not just the cost of the dock/cables, but also some internal circuitry for video/audio output, and probably cheaper power/cooling components inside the thing because it wouldn't have to handle the higher...
Microsoft will never make internet pundits happy. When they made the original EdgeHTML Edge everyone made fun of it and said it sucked (even though it was decent). Now they basically said "ok fine we get it" and made it chromium based, and everyone hates that too. Tell me, internet, what could...
It's not that easy. Yeah simple hello world type applications trivially compile for any architecture due to compiler magic, but once you get down to system level libraries and device drivers and stuff, it's not that simple. There are endianness issues. Assumptions about how things are arranged...
