Anyone still running Windows 7? in Software ·
Yeah, go ahead and install those updates. And honestly? Just shrink your C drive—it’s probably bloated anyway—and shove that extra space over to the D partition. It’ll make things run way smoother.
Mouse, keyboard, and mouse pad recommendations? in Computer Peripherals ·
Honestly, this mouse is a total design disaster—the numpad feels way too stiff and unresponsive, the scroll wheel is garbage, and you can't even adjust the DPI without digging through the drivers. Plus, unless you have hands like a cave troll, you’re never going to hit all those buttons properly. 🤦

If I were picking, I'd probably look at a Logitech G604, a Razer Basilisk, or maybe a Razer DeathAdder.

What’s that supposed to mean—a "bad copy"? Like, is there anyone else out there besides Microsoft actually pumping out Windows? 😵
New monitors, new resolutions in Computer Peripherals ·
You aren't going to find anything better for that $38 difference.

If you aren't willing to go through the trouble of stretching just a little bit further $28, this would be an absolute steal for the price point: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/example_link_here

Here’s a review—it uses the exact same panel, just on a monitor that's one inch smaller: http://www.digitalversus.com/lcd-monitor_review/test.html

It’s scanning through both folders and individual files—so if nothing turns up, you probably just typed the wrong name.

And honestly, what’s the point of even bothering with Crossfire if you aren't actually playing anything? 😕

Look, just use the search function to find the folder—it’s not rocket science. As for whether you go with the basic version or the full Microsoft Office suite, honestly, that just depends on what you actually need to get done. And seriously, let's not talk about "buying" keys around here anymore. 🙂

So, what exactly does it say on those first two windows?
NATO vs. Pakistan in World ·
More than half of the supplies are already being hauled by rail from Riga all the way to Termez in Uzbekistan—plus there's that alternative route running from Poti in Georgia through Baku and across the Caspian Sea to get back to Uzbekistan. The real headache for the Pentagon, though, is the astronomical cost of shipping through Pakistan; we’re talking anywhere from $400 to $1,000 just to move a single gallon of oil, depending on how remote or godforsaken the destination is. Between those prices and the constant attacks on fuel tankers making the whole route unstable, they’re pushing hard to get 75% of the equipment moved via northern routes into Afghanistan.
Best webcam recommendations? in Computer Peripherals ·
First off, megapixels just tell you how big the image is—they have absolutely nothing to do with actual quality. Think about it: your standard 1080p monitor only displays about 2 MP. If you actually wanted to see an 8 MP photo in full screen, you’d basically need a monitor the size of a toddler's crib. You can find a 30 MP sensor on a high-end camera that costs, say, $25,000, but you aren't finding that in some $6 piece of junk from eBay. 🙂

As for $33, if you just want to get this over with, just buy and call it a day.

Look, $67your best bet is checking Craigslist or some local classifieds—you won't find these in a retail store, and honestly, the ones they actually stock are bottom-tier junk priced way too high for what they are. What kind of graphics card are you running right now? And seriously... how on earth do you not know your monitor's resolution?

Look, this thing is about 4x faster than that old card you were running—though, to be fair, it’s still trailing behind the 6750 by maybe 30% or so:

Honestly, it’s pretty much the cheapest option out there that isn't total garbage.
Look, it can’t be some mechanical failure—there isn't even any actual moving mechanics inside this mouse. It’s more likely that something just went sideways with the wireless hardware, so it isn't actually pushing a signal to the receiver. 🤷

Your motherboard is running PCIe v1.1, but don't sweat it—newer cards are backward compatible with older PCIe versions. The only real catch is that the transfer rate on PCIe v2.0 is twice as fast. Also, just to be clear, x16 isn't some random number; it refers to the number of data lanes in the PCIe slot—basically the physical length of the connector—which is what drives that higher transfer rate. An x16 setup actually utilizes 32 data lanes working in pairs to allow for full-duplex data transfer in both directions simultaneously.

The bottom line is you need an x16 slot. If you’ve got a long card, you can't exactly jam it into an x8 slot, though you could easily plug an x8 card into an x16 slot without any issues.

By the way, if you want to dig into those mystery devices, you can run them through this tool: http://www.zhangduo.com/udi.html
Look, if you’ve had that thing sitting around gathering dust for two years, there's a massive chance those batteries are just totally fried by now. 🙂

There's nothing like it.

Wait, which NVIDIA card are we actually talking about here?
