  1. an m1 MacBook Air lasts like 10 hours for a single charge. I've had my one for over a month and only put like 5 charge cycles on it (waiting for uni to start). I think you would be fine with 8gbs of ram but the storage you can get an external drive like a Samsung t5 if 250gbs isn't enough. You can find these laptops for like 450 pounds if u get a good deal. In my experience there's no need to be apprehensive with apple silicon you can run basically every program you would normally need to. Intel MacBooks also basically don't get software updates anymore
  2. I'm looking for a program that will allow me to SSH to a machine and access the home drive with a gui/mount the drive. I have a program to do this on windows called (https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs) but can't find anything that will work on apple silicon. Any ideas?
  3. Does anyone know how to remove this garbage from my PC? (the news)
  4. Hello, my SSD sucks fucking ass and needs to be replaced asap. I currently have 2 sata hard drives and a sata SSD in the system. I have an NVMe slot which I want to use but I'm not sure if i have enough PCIe lanes. I'm using a ryzen 5 1500x which has 20 lanes I believe, a gtx1050 which uses 16 but runs fine on 8 I hear? Also what is the best way to move windows to a new disk?
  5. rtx is optmised for ray tracing in games that support it, gtx isnt.
  6. Currently I have fibre to the node internet that comes in on a phone line to basically the center of the house. I use a modem router wap combo and it gives good coverage across the whole house and my pc is hooked up with cat6 through the ceiling. When the fibre to the premises is installed next week its going to be on the other side of the house to my pc at the network termination device. What kind of network layout should I have? I'm thinking I could have the modem router wap box hooked up to the fibre directly and then run the cat6 to the pc, but then the pc side of the house has bad wifi. I also have a second modem router wap lying around which I could use in bridge mode as an access point/switch but then I'd have issues with switching wifi networks across the house. What do you think I should do?
  7. I don't really care about the board since I dont have a case lying around for it and m.2 is busted so I can't sell it in good faith but it was pretty disgusting.
  8. I got a mobo from my friend and he said the m.2 slot is busted but everything else works. I've had it sitting around for a while and it was really dirty so I rinsed it under cold water (dw i removed cmos battery) and its drying now. mobo: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AB350-Gaming-3-rev-1x#kf How can test to see if it works at all, without putting in a cpu so I dont fry it? Also what are common reasons why m.2 might not work and could washing the board with water have fixed it?
  9. I am looking for a PCIe add in card for my pc mainly to charge my phone because I use a lot of electricity sockets already. Are there cards that support the USB-C PD standard and are they relatively inexpensive? Also how many PCIe lanes do I need? I have an R5 1500x (20 lanes), gtx 1050, 3 sata storage devices (1 ssd and 2 hard drives).
  10. I'm going into bachelor of computing (computer science) in about a month and i'm gonna need a laptop. I have a windows pc at home that is powerful enough to do most stuff but i'll need a laptop. Is the m1 macbook air good for coding and the like? Course should involve java, c, python, c++ and some others i believe. And in terms of rosetta 2 can it run any program from intel macs excluding like vm's and stuff?
  11. I got a Smart Lighbulb for like $10 recently and it works well, I can use it with alexa and works fine. Problem is since it's been plugged in my Airpods often start distorting when I'm nearby. The lightbulb offers bluetooth control but im using it on 2.4GHz so im not sure if its the bulb or random?
  12. I have a PC with 3 SATA drives particulary a 1TB hard drive, 500GB hard drive and a 120GB ssd. I want to get a 240GB NVMe ssd to replace my C: drive but i would preferably like to still be able to keep all the drives i already have. Is this possible without running into pcie lane/bandwidth bottlenecks Specs: Ryzen 5 1500x GTX 1050 https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/b350m-gaming-pro.html
  13. Every time I turn on my PC after I force shutdown my PC like a month ago because it soft locked and there was nothing else I could do, Windows does a disk check on start up every single time. Looks something like this but with an MSI background It says "press any key to skip disk checking" and I do it yet every time I turn on my pc it still prompts the disk check.
  14. problem solved lol. but yeah if you think its bad then just replace it those cables are pretty cheap anyway
  15. if its sparking when its plugged all the way in replace it otherwise just leave it should be fine.
