Anyone going to try it out other than me? Despite the privacy issues, which are a big win for Apple, I'm going back to Android. At least they have a somewhat functional face unlock on the new phones though it isn't top tier. FedEx has already dropped the ball once and had mine out for delivery...

After reading a little bit about Apple's privacy feature that resulted in the Facebook lawsuit against them I started to look into other email providers vs. gmail. I found one called FastMail which has zero marketing and scanning of content. It's cheap. The question I have is, what is the point...

I did a little latency testing this morning to see the difference between my onboard gigabit ethernet and WiFi5. I was seeing about 1-2ms in extra latency with the WiFi option. The concern however is not so much that but the occasional lag spike up to 68-70ms that would happen about every...

I work at a warehouse and my 3090 FTW3 return back to newegg left here on Monday. I know which UPS trailer it left in and I know the address here that the trailer was pulled from. No scans in the UPS system this Wednesday morning. UPS is no help. They have no information, they "didn't receive"...

Nobody talking about it here eh? That bad? lol

Has anyone ever worked for a company, under a scenario like this: I'm a little unclear on the details but it seems the company would be hiring you as an actual employee and not a contractor. However, you work for them under a contract they have with another organization. My question is, when...

I'm going to hook him up with a 144hz display. 1440p. I have these choices: New 5700XT (bargain option) New 2070 Super Used 2080 (non Ti) I'm leaning towards the 5700XT, assuming the black screen issues are solved at this point and I'm not sure yet on that. The other two will set me back at...

Gentlemen- Everything had been fine with the NVidia 1080ti in this system. Recently I switched out to a RX vega 64. Because reasons. Anyway when I loaded a level in Far Cry 5 the system would completely power off. Had to unplug the PSU to get it back. Battlefront 2 would make it a bit...

I recently went back to air cooling and put the wraith spire cooler back on. I am seeing high load temps now of 75-76c. Idle is around 43c. I removed the gelid extreme paste, cleaned, and applied arctic silver 5 on the second try. No change. Temps still seem high. The fan is cranked at...

Gents my aorus won't come out. The locking latch on the slot refuses to actuate down by pushing on it. I've tried gently rocking and pulling up/pushing down while trying to get it to budge. Not helping. The aorus is a huge card I can only access one side of the latch. I've read about using...

Corsair didn't include 4 cables for video cards. I only get three 6+2 pin pci-e cables with this psu? That doesn't cut it for two 1080ti. Yet they include two 4+4 pin eps/atx12v cables? I don't get it. What am I missing here?

I use my PC mainly for web, email, htpc, and some games. I really have no huge pressing need to upgrade this ivy bridge. Mainly this will be for fun. I am having trouble deciding between a Broadwell-E 6850K (or Ryzen?) system vs. a Kaby Lake 7700K. Clock speed vs. cores. Right now it seems...

How are you gentlemens? Question please. We are using Lenovo M93 small form factor computers at my employer. These have integrated graphics. We've been having problems with driver crashes in Windows 7 Enterprise. Screen flashes black and a message pops up about the display driver not...

I'm planning on ugprading from my Z77 3570k system to a new machine. I can't decide between the 4.0ghz 4 core hyperthreaded 4790k vs. the 3.3ghz 6 core hyperthreaded 5820k. Not planning on overclocking. Gaming, email, web surfing, basic home use. Opinions please.
