Like i said, light games run fine. As far as holding up... been just a few days tho and she isnt going to highschool in a few months . Its very nice tho, she has been drawing on it alot since i got the pen for her. Tho you'll need to clean up a bit, install all the windows updates before you can start. Like Express VPN, Mcafee and such. And a few other preinstalled programs.

Depends, for my daughter i got the x360 envy 8 GB 4500u but thats for high school and her use case is Office, drawing, and some light games (roblox and stuff). The 5500u has slightly better multicore performance, so what are you going to use it for? Since that and the memory might be a deciding factor.

Dejavu time. We had this same discussion about Window 10 and that was a storm in a glass too in the end. Lesson learnt: Wait till the actual release is here.

Had a chat with one of the ITers and turns out i was wrong. While the Rent Company pushes their G-DATA antivirus, extra service and insurance. The school itself just wants Windows Defender and is fine with just that. No special software is needed, so no tracking or anything like that. Their mindset is that it is the responsibility of the student to keep their laptops in order. Shows how old i am other then office installed (which is provided by the school) most things like communication and rosters are done by app on their phones. Old man rant: I had to bicycle to school in scorching heat and snow uphill both ways to just check a tiny CRT for my roster for the day. and grumble all the way home cuz a teacher was sick and i could have slept 1 hour extra.

Personally i switched to Onedrive since i needed a family plan for Office 365 for 100 Euro's per year for 6 persons. It has 6TB total (1TB per person) or take the single license for 1TB and 70 Euro per year. I stopped using dropbox due to having to work on documents with others. Was a nightmare with them, but i think they changed it. Imo if you need office then OneDrive is a no brainer. And as for my files with big corporations, i dont really care and i backup to a local drive weekly anyway

Looks like something from your screen OSD? If its also in Dutch the n.v.t. would make sense

Since the GPU PCIE lanes and the memory are directly controlled from the CPU i would check that out first. Its simple enough to take out the CPU and reinsert it to test if it wasn't a bad connection anywhere.

Try to get a good BT stick. Like the Asus BT500. Cheaper brandless ones might work but better safe then sorry

Most likely it defaulted the BIOS and now its just looking at the wrong place to boot. Go into your BIOS and to the BOOT menu and see what is at #1. Atm its prob your 2nd HDD/SSD? Looks like its trying to boot from a HDD/SSD which has no OS installed

Not 100% sure but everywhere and on their own site they list this as an Audio only BT device. So it wont work with your PS5 controller.

Unless you go max bitrate and record 24/7 you wont kill it within the lifetime of your PC. Looking at a budget SSD should have 200TB of TBW (the amount of data after they except problems) So at 50Mbit/sec =/= 6.25MB/sec - Day is 86.400 seconds so 540GB. Divide the TBW by that 200TB/540GB = 370 Days roughly So after 1 year and a few days your 24/7 marathon of recording will end Now lets say you are really die hard and record 8 hours EACH day in the year. 8x60x60 = 28800 seconds so 180GB, same as above: 1.111 days = 3 years. And that is IF you do it each do for 8 hours. Recording videos to a SSD is fine, it wont last as long as a HDD and even after all these calculations i would still recommend recording to a HDD Maybe for editing move the file to a SSD but its fine on a HDD since big files is what a HDD is good at.

Your in luck, They just did an in-depth review

Nothing, but thats not the issue. Its support from the hardware manufacturer that needs to write the driver. Lets take for example your 7 year old AIO computer on windows 11. It might run the basic stuff, but the GPU might not be supported. Ethernet wont work or the wifi wont install, just like alot of hardware wouldnt work on windows 10 at the start. Later that got resolved but not everything. For a phone that problem is bigger as each component is different from others so there is no way to write a "catch all" driver. Just look at ROM releases for older phones on XDA, while they will release a ROM for older phones usually there will be a long list of device specific thing that wont work. It mostly comes down to companies just not doing it as it makes no sense to them aka no monetary benefit. You buying a new phone is much better for them. Same goes for PC, drivers for their devices will stop the year its released. Just a few release drivers for newer OS'es. The rest is just a tossup if the older driver will still work. In practice this is just 1 version apart where it will most likely work. (W7 drivers will work most of the time on W10)

There is, just not this motherboard. Besides your are talking about 0.7% improvement over dual channel in real world applications.

Thats not that high for a VRM. And should cause no issue. Is this with or without an OC? and how is the airflow in the case. You might be able to get them down to 100 with better airflow but again: This is a normal operating temp for VRM's

You cannot fix this as there is nothing to fix: So it will just run dual channel

Agree, this looks like a bad gateway adres What addresses are your other devices in? Like your windows computer? Also in the 192.168.0.x range? I'm asking cuz 192.168.0.x isnt something i see alot on consumer routers. mostly it will be 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x but almost never 0

Does it have an actual connection? First step would be to check the blinking lights on your FreeNAS and to your switch/router if they show a link. You can then check the NAS by going into the shell and using ifconfig (sadly no ethtool for FreeBSD) $ /sbin/ifconfig | grep media $ /sbin/ifconfig {interface} | grep media $ /sbin/ifconfig em0 | grep media $ /sbin/ifconfig Output should look like: em0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4> ether 00:30:48:98:9c:bc inet 10.24.116.2 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 10.24.116.63 media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP status: active

First step would be to reset your Bios to default. You could try and disable secure boot if thats on, but again: first step is default the Bios

Yeah, going through the specs i noticed only older Intel CPU's Looking at the HP ENVY x360 13-ay0952nd. While pricier i have a better feeling about this

I say IT department, but its usually 1 person trained by the company renting out the laptops in the first place. (The Rent Company, yes. Thats their name)

I'll try at least, tho i do not have high hopes.

I know, you know... But a school IT department? Not so much A Dell Latitude 3310. She wants the one everyone else will have.

So my daughter is going to secondary school (highschool?, not sure if thats a 1 to 1 translation) and has to get a laptop. Now the school offers a laptop for rent or i can buy it, now the ones they offer are a bit weak and i'm looking to buy the same model but with better specs. They do however require a non-school laptop to have AV installed. I could try and tell them that normal usage + windows own defenses is fine (Heck her own computer has 0 bad stuff on it for 4 years now ) But i doubt they would understand, so better to just install an AV and be done with it..... So now for the question, what is the least intrusive AV at the moment? I am completely out the loop regarding this. Besides Norton and Mcafee = Bad.

Without knowing what switches you have and what they support you might even consider a STP setup where each switch is connected to each switch. Thus creating alot of redundant connections and the switches will decide how to route traffic. This will however require a good plan to set this up and depends on how you know about networks or want to know
