I generally only do a reinstall of Windows if I'm doing part of a system replacement or new build. For example, If I'm replacing the MB/CPU/RAM with something newer, I'll do a new install of Windows. That's usually every 3-5 years. Or if maybe I need a new OS drive I just back up any important...

My brother is irritated with Apple and especially his iPhone. He wants to move to Android based, but like you mention, he's got his apple laptop/ipad and so on with everything all linked and he's not sure how well things will go if he moves to an Android phone.

I once had Windows do a reboot while I was doing a backup and it corrupted the backup. No big deal, right? Well, the forced update/reboot with Windows broke Windows and I couldn't even boot into safe mode. Thankfully I had multiple backups of my data, but it was a huge pain in the ass to format...

I don't know what you guys are all crying about. My Plex server when idle draws about 60W. Would probably be closer to 45W if I didn't have a RTX 3060 in it and had an iGPU I could use. Honestly, based on TPU's data if we were to tackle the idea of idle power draw for the OP this is what should...

I wouldn't worry about upgrading unless your system doesn't do something you want or doesn't support something you need. For example, my plex server was running on an i5-4460 and 8GB of RAM. I used it for more than just Plex for a while, hosting a few games on it my brother and I could play...

The adage "vote with your wallet" does work, but only if enough people do it. I avoid purchasing any game on Steam/EA/Ubisoft/EGS and I don't give my money to third parties that provide keys to these platforms either (such as Humble Bundle, Fanatical and so on). If a game I want isn't coming...

Must be some hungry folks out there for 5090 cards in just one day - almost 1900 of them gone since the list from yesterday. Even if 1900 were sold and they were all priced at the lowest cost I've seen Micro Center having them ($2700) recently..... That's over $5mil in sales just from 5090...

There are multiple views on the reasoning behind it. 1) Maybe she's right, maybe Rockstar is just trying to recoup funds for GTA6 2) GTA5 is old, maybe the $10 is a way to help pay for servers to stay online 3) GTA5 is probably going to be phased out soon in terms of server support. maybe it's...

Love the available inventory, don't like the prices.... 9070XT are still about 20%+ over released MSRP 9070 are still 10%+ over released MSRP 5090 are still 45%+ over released MSRP 5080s are still around 40%+ over released MSRP ...and the list goes on. Only models you can find at MSRP are the...

$70 for the base game? No thanks, hard pass. I really didn't like the prequal game and BL3 wasn't any good. I liked BL2, except for Tiny Tina (wish I could just blast her to bits and never have to hear her cringe humor and wannabe gangster slang spew from her mouth).

I'm currently replaying through the non-enhanced Neverwinter Nights right now. Just got out of Neverwinter and into chapter 2. As for Grim Dawn - you can't really go too wrong with builds. Most builds you can get through Elite difficulty without much of a problem and at least a good chunk of...

Hoping it crops up on GoG. I really liked the original game and even enjoyed Immortal Throne (never got into the other expansions, I think they came out too late for me since I didn't discover them until sometime after Grim Dawn was out so going back to Titan Quest felt really slow and I'd say...

Not one person I know cares about it (they are Xbox or PS console owners, none of them want a Switch or Switch 2) and some don't even know that Nintendo has a new console coming out. My son has a Switch (him and my daughter also have a Switch Lite) and neither of them care about the Switch 2. I...

A few months back I probably put in around 30 hours into No Man's Sky and I do have to say that it has vastly changed since the initial launch of the game, but it hasn't improved my opinion about it. What hasn't changed, yet has (a little), is the creature variation between worlds. I visited a...

I know a couple of guys that would probably be interested in doing this....they keep playing the demo/beta version of the game even though they have openly admitted that they know their progress will be wiped when the game officially launches. They're hooked on the game.
