  1. Bummer was looking to get one for my wife and I and was hoping for some discount link/code.
  2. Found a solution for other viewers of this thread:
  3. Bump. So I learned my work macbook air doesn't use thunderbolt, it uses USB C. Do we know if USB C can carry both data from my mouse/keyboard and my monitor?
  4. It looks like the thunderbolt is probably the easiest way. My MacBook uses it for the dongle with all their peripherals but my PC doesn't have something like that. Wish there was a more cost effective solution. I wonder if it's some sort of license fee that makes it cost so much
  5. Hey everyone, I recently started working from home and while I love it I hate that before/after work i need to unplug/plug my keyboard, mouse, speaker, and monitors from my gaming rig to my macbook. Is there anyway to condense all my cables into one that i can plug switch at my desk level instead of going under the table to fish for wires? I'm looking for any solution really because this is such a pain in the butt.. Maybe some fellow WFH'ers share in the pain and how they may have overcome it. please... i. beg. you... Work laptop is a 2020 macbook air My PC has USB C
  6. Simple enough test it looks like my CPU gets to 70-100% utilization while my GPU sits at max 40%. That would be considered a bottle neck right? Even at idle my GPU is at 30ish while my CPU is at 60% It should run on a potato but some instances get intense with all the lightning effects. Can't play hardcore like this
  7. Ya I had a 8350 for a while before i gave the pc to a friend. I run a nice Noctua cooler and I think the mounting for the 8320 is the same as the 4100 so should be good on that front. The chip is already clocked to it's max from when I first bought it
  8. My computer is pretty damn old. I only upgraded the GPU a while back from a 7850 to a 960. I don't game much but I play Path of Exile when I do and sometimes I lag like shit. I can't tell if the game is CPU or GPU intensive though. My CPU is a FX 4100 and my GPU is a GTX 960. I was going to upgrade the CPU but if I do to a Ryzen then that means I need to change my motherboard and my RAM to DDR4 and well the prices on RAM is doo doo baby. So if anything I was thinking to just upgrade to a 8320 and upgrade to 8350 specs then resell that later when and if prices for RAM go down. Thoughts?
  9. It may well be but for some reason the task im trying to execute won't work in powershell I got nothing to hide buddy, call me retarded lol This only replaces it when you press Win + X But knowing how to redirect helped so that's good for some reason the task im trying to execute won't work in powershell
  10. It's so annoying, I shift right click on folders and stuff and the only option I get is for Powershell. I'll hit File on the top left of the window and it'll give me the Powershell option instead of CMD prompt. I can't figure out how to switch paths from C: drive to D: drive either. Can someone explain to me how I can switch all this powershell back to cmd prompt? and also how I switch paths to my D: drive
  11. Sounds like it'll be hit or miss and some hiccups if it does work but ill give it a shot using windows 10 installation media tool and then install it in the laptop. I've moved my personal drive to a friends computer which was intel cpu and amd graphics and it works perfectly but a laptop makes me feel like it's going to be a mess.
  12. Will I run into problems if I use my desktop to install Windows on an SSD then move the SSD to a Dell Inspiron 3520? My desktop is: FX-4100 GTX 960
  13. Correct, in this case 256GB I also have a 500gb 850pro if she ever needs to upgrade space.
  14. Hey everyone, My younger sister is looking to buy a used Macbook from Craigslist and wants me to come over to review it with her and also because she's never done a cash transaction like this. I myself have never owned a laptop or really used a Macbook/Mac for more than a day or two and so I'm pretty clueless as to know what to look out for. The laptop is a Early 2015 Macbook Pro 13 Retina Cosmetically it looks pretty pristine and is priced at $750. They also said there have only been 111 Battery cycle counts Thoughts and advice for when I review it in person? Also does the price sound right?
  15. I'm staying at a cousins during my vacation and I'll be using his PC however I brought my own SSD. He has a corsair with a hotswap slot on top so I can easily insert and boot my drive. I want to leave my SSD in the slot during my stay here but I noticed that I could look through his drives but I don't want this, I don't want him to see mine either. Is there anyway to leave the drive connected so he can boot his drive but not look through mine?
  16. All the paging file is done on the SSD(primary drive). So I take it that secondary drive cant be the cause of the BSOD I added some crystalDisk Mark if that gives any info. SSD is boot/primary Drive HDD is secondary/storage Drive
  17. my SSD really? I just got this thing. Is there anyway(diagnostics) I can prove it's failing for warranty purposes? Could this be happening because a secondary drive used for storage is failing instead. An old Seagate 500gb HDD
  18. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 about a week ago and now maybe once a day I get a BSOD. KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR ***STOP: 0x0000007A *** volmgrx.sys I knew it was going to crash so I started recording and took this screenshot attached. System: MSI: G46-970 AMD FX-4100 Samsung EVO 850 500gb 4gb x 2 Corsair Vengence Nvidia 960 SSD(boot): Samsung Evo 850 500GB HDD(Storage): WDC 500GB 7200RPM Windows 7 Pro SP1 No overclock on anything. I did a Windows Memory Diagnostic and nothing came up. The SSD and GPU is less than a year old. The rest of the computer is probably 3-4 years old.
  19. Fancy usb keys? Can you link me to more info or something, they sound interesting
  20. Ill have to give it a shot and just do a test to see if anyone actually does use my PC within the trial.
  21. It is, I actually don't use the same password for any two accounts and they're all 15 characters long made from http://passwordsgenerator.net/ and there's only so much I can memorize. I also do lock it anytime I leave the room Win + L But all I have to go off is a hunch, idk if anyone is actually using it or now.
  22. The seems like a really feature rich software, but a lot more than I need. Even just monitoring how many clicks are made would be enough for me
  23. Is there any keyloggers that I could use for personal use. I have to leave my computer unattended for long periods at a time and I feel like someone is on it but im just not postive. Is it something that's easy to code or do they have some out there that are safe? Notes: My PC is always locked when I'm not in the room, I just do now power it down. I use a 15 char pw made by http://passwordsgenerator.net/
