So, inside of Final Fantasy 14 - an online MMO, there is a minigame called Chocobo Racing, in which you control a giant racing ostrich (it's Japanese, if you aren't familiar with Final Fantasy lore I couldn't even begin to explain).
Now, of course, being an MMO, it's online, and all your...
Want to play this, but ...
I want to be lazy on my couch, and I don't feel like spending $60 on the PS4 edition.
May sub to XBL once the first major "fix all the broken stuff" patch comes out, unless I see it pop up on a good deal for PS4 around the holidays.
ARC has been around since 2009 / HDMI 1.4. From my understanding, eARC is just higher bandwidth than ARC, won't solve this problem.
Unfortunately, I can't answer your last question. I hope someone else can weigh in for you on that.
Air flow on the CPU HSF isn't the same as air flow through the case.
A HSF isn't typically directly pulling from or drafting out of a case vent. It's circulating air inside the case. The HSF isn't creating a differential pressure through the case or driving air in or out - and that's the...
This is really good advice. The only other thing I would add is not to be afraid of the command line - most things in Unix/Linux are actually easier on the command line once you know the right commands.
For both Linux and Windows - for me - boot drive is always a fast single drive.
If that drive goes bad, yeah, you have downtime. But it's also pretty lean - just the OS and as few other files as you can get away with. If it dies, just a clean re-install and then re-point the data directories in...
So how do you get your kink porn then? 8mm?
But seriously, VPNs are useful for more than just obfuscating your tracks on the web. It's a necessity if you wanted to use an open WiFi Hotspot (and even then I don't recommend that). I do take your point about paying for someone else's service - but...
If you look at per-core performance, it's not exactly been looking good for a while. A big reason why everything shifted to more cores, because we have really been beyond the low hanging fruit with regard to single core performance for a while.
Now, Moore's Law doesn't explicitly describe...
Full Desktop replacement and "study, browsing, and video" as mentioned in the OP aren't necessarily the same things at all.
Also, make sure you aren't using some cheap Android device. I'm not knocking Android in general, but there are a lot of low quality devices out there. I've never seen...
Just for these tasks - honestly, an iPad (or other good tablet).
For a desktop - your monitor and peripherals would make more of an impact that the computer itself, as just about anything build in the past 5 years can handle those tasks without major issues.
I can’t comment on the ergonomics —- but I had an MX Anywhere 2 and the Bluetooth on that sucked badly. Scroll wheel glitched constantly.
not sure if the Verticle shares the same comms, but decent chance since it’s an MX
Video games don’t prey on kids any more than Herseys, Kellogg’s, or Hasbro does.
Marketing is marketing. It’s not intended to be a replacement for parenting.
If your kid can’t control themselves from buying skins or whatever, it’s not that your kid can’t control themselves, it’s that the...
Thank you.
I showed this to my 12 year old. Told him Tesla bought Fortnite and closed it down.
He went around for a good hour damning Tesla and everyone who ever bought one... until his friends finally told him it wasn't real.
Was a ~great~ hour.
nVidia's brand of raytracing - RTX, comes at a steep price increase.
We don't know what AMD or nVidia will bring to the table in that regard yet. You could, if a developer wanted to, use DXR and just bypass hardware all together. nVidia enabled RTX on Pascal cards, just to prove that...
Just tried that - it was slightly different than what I was doing previously (my google-fu told me to quit EGS before resuming the download).
Yeah... didn't work either. Thanks for trying though.
I don't really have a problem with EGS vs Steam vs anything else.
Just reinstalled Windows after having a hard drive issue. I kept all the game installs backed up, but didn't image the OS drive.
With Steam, I just re-install steam, point it to my directory, and it's good, it picks up the game...
My first constructive criticism is that video reviews should be paired with text for people who can’t view them or would rather see print. Especially for charts and data
The SSD is still very much the most exciting thing here for me. Load times were my biggest gripe about the PS4. Just hoping they don't gimp the storage signficantly, as that was my other big gripe about the early PS4's -- 500GB was enough for like.. 4 game installs.
I'm cautiously optimistic...
1809 craps all over a GT660 that I have as well, gets stuck in a driver loop and reverts back to ... 1803 of whatever the previous edition is. And a clean install of 1809 (or newer) just fails telling me the machine isn’t compatible with Win10
660 is a bit more recent than the two cards you are...
Windows will fit comfortably on a 120G SSD. You have enough room to install some stuff, including Office, but it gets tight. Having the HDD helps, so long as the owner knows how to split their files across drives (Windows will want to default to everything in Documents on the C:\, which you can...
Honestly, if I were you, I would pull the entire computer apart (safe to leave the CPU, HSF, and RAM installed on the motherboard) and look at all the wiring and how the motherboard was mounted.
I bet you find either something loose under the motherboard tray, or a power cable somewhere burned...
Sounds like a short somewhere and the PSU is shutting down on overcurrent.
Sure that something else isn't broke and that's what casued the PSU to die with a bang?
Had something similar just happen to us at work.
Comcast calls, says we have been long time customers and they are tranfering our service to higher speed, at lower rate. They just need to replace our modem.
Ok.
Modem gets replaced. We are in a commercial area, WiFi is already congested.
I...
I just got a WD MyBook 10TB - needed to replace a failing drive immediately, so it wasn't on sale, but it wasn't a horrible deal. Just went through Amazon.
I tried very hard to get a non-aftermarket/server scalped bare drive. Amazon and Newegg both were full of third party sellers for this...
Windows seems to mess up my display sleeping with various patches.
Some patches it won't go to sleep, I have had it where it won't wake up like you post.
It's very annoying. As of late it's doing alright.
The power plan settings are good spots to start. Can also try plugging in an external...
