    RCruey got a reaction from ARikozuM in Bungie does a thing: blocks 3rd party overlays and capture software for running with Destiny 2   
    Wait, so its not supported but it is supported? I'm a little confused with this article. 
     
    MGSVPP wasn't allowed to be streamed until a week or two after release so maybe this is the same problem. However I imagine it would still be able to stream over console anyway.

    Im not much of a debater. I'll have to take your word for it. When I go to make a ryzen build I'll usually do the research before purchase. But I thank you for the advise though.

    I'll be honest. If you're wanting a computer for low end gaming and to start learning programming then you're probably going to have better luck going to a pawn shop or your local retail store and buying a computer from there instead of building one. Now if you're looking to build a computer still for under $250 then you're going to have to make some serious sacrifices. You could get a decent graphics card for about $75 and that's a good start. So browse around ebay and find some parts. You might be able to do something with that. So okay, i'll assume that you want CHEAP AS POSSIBLE. So i'm going to exclude a windows operating system. Use linux instead for this build (especially if you're learning programming). So let's see:

    I assume you'll get SATA Cables for your drives and such. Also I didn't include a CD/DVD drive so you could boot from a USB device. Also external cd/dvd drives aren't expensive. So cutting a lot of corners your price comes toooooo.............
     
    $276.34 
    You can cut some more prices by switching HDD's or lowing your RAM. But that's about as good as I can get you. Hope this helped.

    It's not the size of your monitor that important, its how you use it.

    RCruey got a reaction from JohnnyAlmi in Buying new laptop   
    I am currently on a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 that I purchased for $80 from a friend. It was broken and I fixed it. CPU fan was shot. Just ordered a replacement and fixed it up. So far, if you're not putting it in an oven and taking proper care of it, Lenovo does offer pretty impressive Desktops and Laptops!

    I've had pretty good luck with Lenovo. They seem to be a good part of the business industry as well. You can also look at Dell and HP, that have some good business laptops as well.

    Macs support the volume buttons, mic, etc on headphones. Most PCs don't. They have a separate line for the speakers and one for the mic. At least most of the oldish ones and desktops do.

    RCruey got a reaction from nemo011 in How can I Boot with Another Hard Drive   
    I actually asked this same question not to long ago when I was building a new PC. I was trying to save myself some money. However if I remember correctly there are some hardware specifications that are assigned to the original motherboard which are assigned as some type of data on the HDD. So most likely when you hook up the hard drive you will boot into windows and have to reinstall some drivers while possibly having to re-activate Windows. Hope this helped.

    RCruey got a reaction from godzrule in W10 Multi-monitor single touch screen cursor issue   
    Well, its going to steal the cursor from your display when the touch screen works like a mouse in general. So when you go to operate the touch screen whatever is going to be on that display will ave your mouse going over there to operate it. However to have it set up like that, I think you have to adjust the settings in the game to make it work like the way you are wanting it too. But outside of that it is going to act like your basic mouse setup. I hope this helped.

    https://www.amazon.com/Upgrading-Repairing-22nd-Scott-Mueller/dp/0789756102  This book is an amazing in depth look into computer hardware, history, and stuff within that nature. 
     
    You can also go on youtube and find a vast amount of videos on there with extensive guides as well. I prefer books though, so I am biased.
