  1. The thing is, your paying for it. Yes, most people care. thats why they buy polished phones, instead of virtue signaling phone. Stock is stock, to add value, you have to polish it. Fix bugs, FYI this is the 5th rev of this device. By now, we expect a finished product. Look harder- Unlike google pixel, Fairphone dosen't have control over the software they use. Yeah, it feels cheap. a budget moto feels more premium. It's also unbalanced, making it feel awkard. The plastic creaks, display is not the best quality off angle...etc Here is a size compassion https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Fairphone-5,Samsung-Galaxy-S23+/phones/12228,12000 The 778( rebranded as QCM6490), has better CPU then the 855, but weaker GPU. Yeah, a Ryzen 5600 + 4080 will age a lot beter then a 4050+ Ryzen 5900. Yes, we use GPUs a lot. Also fairphone 5 can't keep a 90 hz, doing anything. Have a bunch of apps open and see how it chugs. Yes, it's closer to the Note 9 SD845, then a SD 8 Gen 3. FYI numbers looks wrong. UFS 2.2 is slower then 3.1 pixel 8 uses. https://www.androidauthority.com/fairphone-5-hands-on-3359027/ Nope, Note 9 is slow. See Linus, opening the cam on his s24U video. It's slow, even for normal user. Older family member uses one, they complain about the speed. yeah, the Airpod clone, no headphone jack...etc, Slow updates, Camera that makes a Nexus 6p from 2015 a DSLR. If they did care, they would leave the headphone jack alone. But, are you going to use your in 8 years? The SOC is slow now, software will get more complex, unlike the pixel 8 with a whole company that can optimize it, fairphone has nothing. Linus was fair, look at a device for what it has not the virtue signaling. Also 8 years update, how timely are they? Features? How bug free? How much testing did they do? Would you give one to your mom? Linux is free, Fairphone is window 11 price with gelentoo level issues.
  2. If you want to use the whole budget, Legon 5i is on sale, for 1000$. Get the 1tb model.
  3. >Initial release date: October 22, 2009 It will stop in 2022 https://www.makeuseof.com/google-chrome-windows-7-stop-2022/ for most poople 13 years support is good enough. Also most people use windows 10 not 11. by the time October 14th, 2025 comes, most users will upgrade. Or microsoft might drop requirement. Linux is still a clusterfuck for most users like my parents. You can't expect everyone to learn how to use it. I love POP OS but they have a long way to go.
  4. At this point, look at a pi handheld. Fun project and you get something cool out of it.
  5. What does that mean? POP OS is an excellent OS overall, with really good community support. But even with that, it sucks POP OS is not ready to shine for mainstream consumers( same with linux as a whole). Before anyone says anything, i know servers run linux, i was talking more about consumer use at home. I judge a OS by how normal users use it. You can't expect Joe to spend an hour reading through forums. Linux is a good OS to mess around but not ready to shine for most users, i wish devs would make more optimizations for mainstream users.

    Delete the previous exe, download a fresh copy. Also what's your specs?

    help

    - Are you plugged in to the ethernet? - restart your pc - redownload gog and try again
  8. I would avoid those, most likely they are stolen. If you ever reset the Ipad, it will be iCloud locked forever. They can even put malicious software on the ipad.
  9. Nope, same ram type, for you It has to be DDR4 and try to get 3200mhz, higher ram speed is better.
  10. Your issues are - SIngle stick ram- try to get another stick Are you on windows 10 or 11? - Bloatware- bunch of things running in the background. This will take a lot of work, if you can i suggest reinstalling the OS. 1- Get a USB 2- follow this steps here https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10 3- for laptop driver- https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GF65-Thin-10UX?sub_product=GF65-Thin-10UE#down-driver 4- GPU driver https://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/Windows/436.15/436.15-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe&lang=us This will take a lot of time but IMO it's worth it, companies like MSI put a lot of stuff that slow down laptops and get another stick of ram.
  11. No, also shut your computer down before removing the battery.
  12. - Clear Cmos - did you put the ram on the correct slot? - are they the same type of ram? or did you mix and match?
  13. Did you DDU? Also when you got the laptop, did you debloat it? What are your other specs?
  14. Hello everyone, looking for a IEM 200-250 CAD range. So far i am looking at the Dusk 2, any other ones i should look at? I want something, light, easy to carry, durable and has good support. Thank you

    Hello, My name is John, and I was wondering if…

    depends on the task, wait for the official reviews/ benchmarks.
  16. so it's actually active, did they bring it over to the surface pro x? or is it X86 only? windows 11 has been a such a mess, half of the promised feature are missing or working very poorly.
  17. Might be due to them trying to keep corporate and home market separate. Really hope intel can grow up from this phase.
  18. Hope Intel and AMD can close the gap in a few years with apple silicon. It's glorious to see competition, thank god the days of 7700k are over, we can finally see double digit improvements. As a side note, does windows 11 handle background tasks on on Alder lake using power efficient cores?
  19. depends on what kind of person you are - Like Movies? virtual movie theater - Like shooters? CSGO Vr - Getting lonely? Lovers Labs VR mods Try out Skyrim, fallout 4, No mans sky, Half-Life: Alyx (IMO must play)
  20. Good luck finding one, OP if you can wait, it will be woth it.
  21. Take 2 sticks out, and set the XMP profile on, see if that helps and upgrade to H2 windows.
  22. This, you can find the 1660 model on sale if you look around, they are more of a flash sale. , https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptops/new-dell-g3-15/spd/g-series-15-3500-laptop/cng3024 This is 1k but goes on sale for 800 https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8732466 lower tier model for 800 https://www.scan.co.uk/products/156-acer-nitro-5-nhq7pek001-144hz-fhd-ips-i5-10300h-8gb-ddr4-512gb-nvme-ssd-6gb-gtx-1660ti-win10-hom Look at Dell and lenevo refurbshed deals, look at i5+ 1660 or better, it will be time and regon dependent. so you will have to refresh the page a few times to get some good deald, if you fine with used. It it's a longterm investment, look at a new laptop.
  23. All ryzen have OC features called Precision, which is fine. Unless you clicked an "optimized" OC buttion, it whould be fine. What verson of windows are you running? Are you full screen? are both ram running at 3200MHZ? is XMP on? are you running the latest windows verson? 20H2 try running only the game without other programs running in the background.
