Clock speed isn't that important, what matters more in this case is how much work it can do per cycle. A 12100F can do more work per cycle than a 6600K, even with that clock speed deficit. That's why a 3.4GHz Pentium D can get absolutely curbstomped by a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo.

I've got the package that has the VPN, Mail, Drive, and Pass, and I think it may be a good option. I have the VPN Plus package (since I only really care about the VPN), and that gives me 10 VPN lines, 500MB of Mail storage, and 2GB of Drive storage, all at the cost of $4.99/mo. Only downsides is that for mail you only get 3 folders, 3 labels, and 1 filter... and for some reason you're limited to sending 150 messages per day. You could also do the Proton Unlimited plan, which is $7.99/mo, and that gets you the same VPN plan, but 500GB of storage shared between Mail and Drive, plus other goodies like custom email domains, unlimited messages per day, unlimited folders/labels/filters, and you can use a desktop app for Mail. All of that advert sounding shit out of the way, if I had to switch email providers from Gmail I honestly think that Proton's suite would be what I settle on, even though I'd have to pay a monthly fee to use it. The web UI is really solid and responsive, there aren't ads goddamn everywhere, and security isn't a concern for a good reason.

Not a bad find, especially for free.99.

That's called overscan. First see if you can adjust it through your TVs settings (on a some sets, setting the input type to PC or game can remedy the issue), but if that doesn't work or exist then you'll need to adjust it through the AMD driver.

RIP to your brave soldier. I pray that I never see the iconic space invaders on my RTX 2080. Unfortunately though it's increasing in likelyhood, they 2000 series is getting up there in age and my current OC is pretty aggressive (and who knows what the previous owner did to it).

I wonder if all those caps are actually for dumping data to the drive in the event of a power loss... That would be very server-esque.

When my friend and I (mainly me lol) built his new PC, we could not get it to post to save our lives so we were both panicking a little bit, him because he thought his 4080, 7800x, or whatever Gigashite board was broke, and myself because I didn't want him to think I broke it. Turns out it just will not post with one specific flash drive plugged in.

I have one of these myself with the 1315U, 8GB of RAM, 256GB MP9B1, but the top-spec 1080p touch display and they're amusingly competent. I threw ThrottleStop on mine to let the 1315U go nuts and if you load up the GPU and CPU you can see 35-40W sustained which is hilarious... And somehow adequately cooled. And the display is honestly dope, colors seem pretty good, brightness is decent enough, and the fact that Lenovo is the only company with the balls to do a matte touchscreen makes it an automatic W in my book.

Can't really go wrong with a Team MP33 or MP34.

I actually use Snipe-IT personally because I'm really good at shuffling parts between PCs and then not knowing where the fuck it is when I actually need it. At least this way there's a nice easy QR code on everything I can scan to hold myself accountable, not to mention being able to see what location things are at (like my desk, in different storage drawers, etc), and if you REALLY feel extra you can input the cost of things so you can see just how much of your money you've wasted. You can also use it for software licenses which is handy yet again for me due to the same reason lol

Yeah it really just depends how dusty your environment is. Even though my PC doesn't have filters, it moves a fairly considerable amount of air, is on at least 12 hours a day on average, and we have a cat, I barely even need to dust it out once every two years.

Honestly I think the iPad would do worse in that aspect. I have both an iPhone 7 and an SE2 so I've got both chips in question: The iPhone 7 got hot enough to where it wasn't comfortable to hold just by leaving the camera recording 4K30 for an extended duration (and as such got so hot the display dimmed, so you KNOW that bitch was throttling), and the SE2 has only ever gotten warm at best no matter what torture I've put it through. Sure glass isn't a great heat conductor, but the 7 would noticeably throttle just using it normally and the SE2 doesn't.

32GB isn't even really small for just games, it's just small in general. My 15 Pro Max only has Pokemon GO on it as far as games go, and if we subtract downloaded music I'm sitting at 68GB used. That being said, the SE2 will pretty much universally run laps around a 7th gen iPad. A significantly faster chip (Geekbench 6 puts the SE2 at literally twice the performance as the 7th gen iPad, though I think real-world it's more like 60-70%) with a lower resolution screen makes it a pretty one-sided battle. Not to mention the A13 keeps its cool pretty well even in the SE, whereas the A10 was a hot little fucker.
