  1. It'll be pretty hard to find what you're looking for because of the wireless part. 100% layout with RGB and USB passthrough is extremely hard to find due to wireless bandwidth and battery constraints. That being said, the closest thing would probably be a Keychron K4 or one of Logitech's Lightspeed mechanical keyboards, ex. G613 (not that big of a fan of Logitech's keyswitches though). You could possibly look into a custom keyboard, but it might end up costing more than your budget. If you really need most of those features, I suggest going wired.
  2. You might also want to try this if you have an Nvidia GPU: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nv-uefi-update-x64/ (the 4 bullet points could also apply if you have an AMD card) I personally think it's mainly a GPU-related issue. Your GPU isn't necessarily "bad" or "dead", but it just doesn't want to output the POST/BIOS/boot animation to the monitor.
  3. That goes into a PCIe device, like a GPU (if you have one). It does not plug into the motherboard itself.
  4. Does your CPU have integrated graphics by any chance? If so, try unplugging the GPU and using the onboard video ports to get into the BIOS. (I remember that this was the case for one of my friends who had a GPU + iGPU) just read the title, nvrm lol If not, maybe try a different graphics card (if you have one).
  5. eBay would be your best bet. Z270 and Z170 (if updated to the latest BIOS version, might wanna ask the seller about that) motherboards would work.
  6. Try using TestDisk to recover the partition. Also, never mount a drive as R/W when you suspect a drive failure. Only mount it as read-only or use recovery tools like PhotoRec and TestDisk.
  7. I was using my old laptop as a web and file server for a couple years, but I moved to a Raspberry Pi + NAS and now I just want to see how long I can keep this up.

     

    lol

  8. Resolve means the promise completed successfully and will pass the parameter (in this case, UserLists) to the .then() function or return UserLists if await was specified. There's also the reject function, which means the promise ran into an error. You can handle a promise error with a try/catch block (if you're using async/await) or add .catch((e) => { console.error(e); }); to the end of the function call (if you're using .then()).
  9. Photos are not executable, so it's extremely rare for a virus to be transmitted in an image file.
  10. Run Ubuntu from a USB drive to backup any files from Windows (if needed). Then switch the HDD out for the SSD and install Lubuntu.
  11. If the 8-pin connectors worked fine on your GTX 770, then it'll work fine on the GTX 1660 Ti. The 770 uses 2x8, 1660 Ti only uses 1x8. Not sure what that person you said meant by needing a 6 pin connection to the PSU.
  12. Stuff like this is where Javascript gets kinda weird. Basically, when you have return UserLists; it's actually returning to the function defined in xhr.onload instead of GetUser JavaScript is also an asynchronous language, so you can't necessarily just print the output of a GET request like you would in other languages, such as Python (learn more here: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/javascript-callback-functions-what-are-callbacks-in-js-and-how-to-use-them/). There are two ways to solve this: callbacks and promises Callback: function GetUser(UserID, cb) { var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open("GET", "https://reqres.in/api/users/2" , true); xhr.onload = function () { if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status >= 200 && xhr.status < 300) { alert(xhr.responseText); var UserLists = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText); cb(UserLists); } else { alert("Error " + xhr.status); } }; xhr.send(); } and then: GetUser(ID, (UserLists) => { console.log(UserLists); }); Promise: function GetUser(UserID) { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open("GET", "https://reqres.in/api/users/2" , true); xhr.onload = function () { if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status >= 200 && xhr.status < 300) { alert(xhr.responseText); var UserLists = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText); resolve(UserLists); } else { alert("Error " + xhr.status); reject(xhr.status); } }; xhr.send(); }); } and then: GetUsers(ID).then((UserLists) => { console.log(UserLists); }); or (probably the most preferred way, but requires the function to be marked as async): async function main() { var UserData = await GetUser(ID); console.log(UserData); }
  13. Definitely turn it off. V-Sync causes latency, and screen tearing is already fixed by G-Sync.
  14. I'm not sure what the availability and pricing is like in other countries, but X470 and X570 motherboards seem to have about 7 to 8. If you have available PCIe slots, you can also get a PCIe to USB 3.0 card.
  15. The G-Skill RAM has faster timings (16-19-19-39) than the T-Force RAM (18-22-22-42). RAM timings are pretty important for Ryzen CPUs, so the G-Skill one would be better for your case.
  16. I should've mentioned that I was using a GTX 950. Though, if you are using x264 to stream (like OP was planning on doing), GPU doesn't matter too much. I can't recall what settings I was using since this post is from last year, but I remember testing 720p60 at medium preset and 1080p60 around the veryfast to fast preset. I used an RTMP server to stream to the computer w/ the 6700k and outputting that stream to Twitch and it would drop frames (nginx + mpv w/ NVENC decoding used less than 5% CPU usage combined, mpv was used instead of the OBS VLC source because of higher CPU usage). I tested on both Linux and Windows.
  17. A Minecraft server is heavily single-threaded; I believe only the networking threads are multi-threaded. Though, if you genuinely think it's an issue with Linux, try it on Windows. I have a G3258 (2 cores, no HT) OC'd to 4.2GHz on my Arch Linux server and I'm able to run a vanilla server and a SkyFactory 4 server at the same time, each one with about 1-3 players each.
  18. Since the RX 580 beats the GTX 970 by a bit, I'm gonna take wild guess and say the GTX 970 is better than the RX 570 by a small margin.
  19. https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/1151221389585633281 Welp, this is gonna be good ???
  20. Definitely the LG 22MP68VQ. It has a higher refresh rate (75 Hz) and an IPS panel (better color).
  21. Sounds like it is dead if it's not being detected. Try switching SATA ports on the motherboard or plugging the SSD into a different PC (if available).
