What's your latest tech purchase?

[sam_86314]

I wouldn't clean install 10, even the lite version is 1.3gb just to load the os. See if you can just upgrade with a key which is what I did to my laptop. It might be a modified version of win 10 S which is for tablets etc but only runs windows store apps (even streamlined win 10 home needs like 2gb just to load the os). Plus with the randomness of tablets win 10 may not have drivers for your device.

I went ahead and backed up the existing install and am currently installing LTSC 32-bit. I bought this purely as a toy to play around with.

I went ahead and backed up the existing install and am currently installing LTSC 32-bit. I bought this purely as a toy to play around with.

I did the same with a chuwi windows tablet back a few years ago, better specs but that came with a higher pricetag also seemed great, but after a few weeks of use the emmc died and China customs blocked the RMA I'll have to solder my own chip on at this point.

It actually works! Even has about 54% battery out of the box

Lithium cells should always be stored at 50% as that's their least stressful state for long periods of time. I would drain the battery then do a full charge, not sure why but that's what I was taught.

 

[sam_86314]

Just finished installing LTSC. I actually have about 3GB more space available than with the factory install. So far most things like networking, audio, and other stuff just work, so no driver issues.

I installed CPU-Z, GPU-Z, and HWMonitor from a microSD card.

Would you mind sharing the results in the benchmark thread?

Ordered this bad boy back in mid-March and received it in mid-April. It is seriously a game changer. Even moving from an already half-decent VA 34" Ultrawide, this AW3423DW QD-OLED is seriously insane. Photos really don't do it justice

OLED is better than sex.

Welcome to League of Gentleman, good sir. It is lovely to have you on board the ship finally. Now good sir, we go for our walk in the park every afternoon at 2pm precisely... and game the rest of the good ol day and night.

OLED brothers unite!

 

[X71200]

That's the best monitor available right now, has been in stock for a bit down Dell and couple other places. I've been meaning to sell one of my guitars and grab one up, time will show I guess...

these are the new QD-OLED panels from Samsung, btw. They don't really burn-in as easily and they also give you a 3 year warranty.

Went to the local car boot sale today, got a few interesting things.

First a pad that you put paper on, write on it with the pen and it saves it so you can transfer it to your PC, was £10

Second a seemingly very early portable reel to reel audio recorder. i love old interesting electronic stuff. could be around 1967

And last, a nice portable solar battery. Weird looking solar panel but it seems to work. it is 25,000 mAh capacity

bought tenda AC10U 2nd hand for low price, and just figure out that sometimes it drops the connection after some minutes
after trial and error, i dunno, it looks the router sometimes act weird when i put the stock ip (192.168.0.1) and i need to lower the wifi to b/g and so far it runs pretty good

bought Buffalo AirStation WCR-G300 actually just for fun, sometimes i just wanna try a brand that not usual in here, so far the setting is more detail
the speed is enough for browsing n streaming but you can't expect more on the stuff

and the last is i got for free, a fake toshiba UFD laying on the road
looks like the previous user trash it coz he thinks it's dead, but after i check the memory looks good and there are cracks on the solder on the connector, i try to solder it back and it back to life

and after testing i just find out that actually it's just 1GB usable

Share your CPUZ Benchmarks!

AVX2 & 512 benchmark with i7-11700k all core/thread 5GHz OC. ring\LLC clock@42x

www.techpowerup.com

I've noticed that memory usage is higher on LTSC (700-800MB compared to 500MB on the factory install). Probably gonna start hunting down an older LTSB version to try, or I might just throw Linux on it once my OTG adapter arrives.

Also, I can now say that it's very slow and borderline unusable. My best guess as to why is a combination of the eMMC and the RAM, which was what caused my HP Stream 11 to chug. Maybe I need to throw Windows 7 or older onto it.

Or you could look under the IC sheild and swap out the ram chip for something bigger.

If you really think that, you're doing it wrong..

Or Win10 LTSB/LTSC...

Or haven't got a girlfriend

 

[X71200]

You're right, but relationships are kind of overrated also lol. Not to mention some people that do OLEDs love them to death, like the guy I know from the PC shop who has two LG CX'es and praises them to eternity.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Or haven't got a girlfriend

but relationships are kind of overrated also lol.

Still, doing something wrong... But I digress...

 

[X71200]

I mean sure it's just a monitor, but sex is indeed overrated. It's kind of dirty pleasure, it is what it is. You can do the Mr. Breeze and completely absorb your sexual feelings. It could help you in life in some ways, even though not suggested. Lol.

 

[sam_86314]

Or Win10 LTSB/LTSC...

I already have LTSC 2021 x86 on it. I've managed to track down a legitimate ISO for LTSB 2016 x86, so I'll probably try that.

Though, I have noticed that RAM usage settles down around 600MB after everything finishes launching.

No it isn't. You're doing it wrong...

There's always AndroidX86.

EDIT: I actually run this OS personally, it's very nice and runs lean & clean!

 

[GreiverBlade]

No it isn't. You're doing it wrong...

that's why i love my 32" screen although size isn't everythi... NEVERMIND! it's not an OLED ... (what? wrong argument? i thought it was OLED that made everything... )

tomorrow! (probably...) the remote for the Z7+ will be in my mailbox! (maybe...)

one of my best friends recently got pregnant cause the condom broke... baby is crying daily and he never games anymore... he can't hold a job either... he is in for a long rude ride...

i'll be enjoying my OLED movies and gaming, thanks

 

[X71200]

Yeah well, as much as it's satisfying... it's also cheap pleasure that lasts for some minutes.

OLED, on the other hand, can be enjoyed all day at least.

 

[kapone32]

A OLED screen is like when you bought a 6800XT vs the Vega 64. The same power draw and double the performance. I got a Quantum Dot TV and am impressed. I can only imagine the fidelity of OLED. Especially the 2nd Gen screens.

Yeah, and my mate is 53, single, lives alone but does have a nice monitor. Guess which i prefer.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Damn...

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

What's all the hype about anyways? Maybe I should try it someday...
