  1. Jon and Dennis were there at the house too. Also Berkel, but he left quite a while ago. Taran is the first departure that I would call a long time OG employee.
  2. Okay, but do you think that the sticks I have are still fine? I just need to disable XMP? Or is this particular set done?
  3. TL;DR: After bricking two sets of Trident Z RAM, I'd like to know what I did wrong and also need a 32 GB RAM recommendation. Hello everyone, I built a system (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3cdPHN) with a Ryzen 5 1600 (14 nm) and a MSI B350M Mortar Arctic about four years ago. Because money, I put in 1x8 GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4-2400 HX424C15FB2/8 and had no issues whatsoever. A year later, I switched to 2x8 GB G.SKILL Trident Z RGB DDR4-2400 F4-2400C15D-16GTZR. While not on the QVL from MSI for 1st gen Ryzen, PCPP said it was compatible. Half a year into that, the system started to crash. I came to the conclusion that the RAM was to blame and returned the RAM. I also reverted back to the Kingston stick and the system ran fine again for another 1.5 years. One year ago, I decided to re-upgrade. I went for 2x16 GB G.SKILL Trident Z neo DDR4-3200 F4-3200C16D-32GTZN. If I recall correctly, the 1x16 GB version of this kit was on the QVL (they changed the format of the QVL since), and PCPP was fine again. Long story short, I am now back on my Kingston stick and the proud owner of another evidently bricked set of G.SKILL RAM. In the process of diagnosing the second G.SKILL kit, I swapped my CPU to an R5 2600, which I plan to keep (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pf4WbX). This also leads me to believe that my old R5 1600 was fine. When dealing with my issues, I always ensured my MB was running the latest BIOS, hence it is also on the latest BIOS right now. I used XMP to have the RAM run at it's advertised clocks, because seemingly it didn't do that by itself. I didn't overclock my system at any point. What did I do wrong? And can you please give me a recommendation for 32 GB of RAM, for the Ryzen 5 2600? Kind regards, Tataffe
  4. The proper way would be to not have them preinstalled and instead have people install what they need. Impressive how this needs clarification in this day and age. Your examples: Calculator is okay, I don't use Mail because Outlook, same thing with Calendar. Music Player - what do I do with that? Play mp3s from my HDD? The three people still doing surely do not justify having that thing preinstalled for everyone. Photo app is not just useless compared to IrfanView, but additionally gets in the way when I start Photoshop from the start menu by typing. I don't know the video player, I use VLC, and that is really rare itself. So in conclusion, we can free up 50 something MB by removing rarely used stuff. More examples of useless preinstalled stuff would be OneDrive for instance, single-handedly adding 140 MB that I'd love to trade in for actual back up features ... But why argue, MS does have an impressive track record of bad designs and design decisions in Windows. OP doesn't really make sense making another thread about it ...
  5. This is generally kind of smart. Not just with phones, but with cars or other tech items too.
  6. Skype got rid of me years ago due to malicious ads. FB Messenger is the best cross-platform system right now imo
  7. There literally is a competitive mode for TF2 where you can only use the pan. Not joking.
  8. The level of detail provided by me and my sources obviously overburdens you. I don't see the point of the meaningless accusations you throw around here, without any sources to absolutely noone's surprise.
  9. This is utter nonsense. Go read what I wrote before and all your questions will be answered.
