Skylake (i5 6600) supports TPM 2.0. Microsoft's decision to not support Skylake CPUs for Windows 11 is not related to TPM support. Microsoft just did not add Skylake to the approved CPU list. I'm not sure if Microsoft ever gave an official reason for not including them. Microsoft is still supporting Windows 10 until October 2025. End of Life for Windows 10 is over 18 months away. Not "very soon" like you claim. It's not like Windows 10 is going to become unusable after that date, it just won't receive further security patches. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-home-and-pro Microsoft is not going to force install Windows 11 on systems that do not support it.

... Can you play Valorant on Linux? You didn't bring that up when you recommended Linux so why bring it up now when somebody recommended Windows 11? OP asked which of two CPUs are better and you come in telling them to switch to Linux. Don't be that annoying Linux user that goes around everywhere telling people to use Linux when they aren't even asking about it.

Moved to CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory. The i5 6600 will perform better than the i5 2500k and will support DDR4 memory, PCIe 3.0, and depending on the board M.2 NVMe boot storage.

Getting 9 year old to play games other than Roblox?

Moved to PC Gaming and locked the thread since discussion is really just people crapping on OP. -
There was a data breach on the linustechtips forum 9 years ago. The breach was disclosed at the time and all forum passwords were reset. A website called Leak-lookup collected data from various data breaches and hosted that data on their servers. Leak-lookup was hacked earlier in 2024 and their entire collection of data breaches from thousands of websites were stolen, including the data for the linustechtips.com website from the breach 9 years ago. This old data resurfaced after the Leak-Lookup breach which triggered that warning from Google. https://cybernews.com/security/billions-passwords-credentials-leaked-mother-of-all-breaches/ If you're using the same password you used here 9 years ago on other websites you should change those passwords.

Remove the RGB cables from the system. Flip the switch on the back off the power supply off. Flip the switch on the PSU back on. Try to boot the system again. Does it work?

What does your workout routine involve? What activities/workouts are you doing? Have you increased the intensity of your workout since you started or has it more or less remained the same? If your exercise routine hasn't changed from when you started you might need to start working more high intensity exercise and cardio in to your workout. I would still stick to you current plan for another 2 weeks and see if you continue to make progress. You're still a little way off your target weight but it might be better on continuing to build the good habits of eating healthy and exercising in a way that is sustainable in the long term that you'll actually stick to rather than trying to rush to the weight loss goal with heavy amounts of exercise and crash diets that aren't sustainable in the long run. As long as you stay active and eat healthy you'll eventually lose the weight.

@IkeaGnome Congratulations on doing the seggs.

Comfortable sharing your weight and BMI? How recently did the weight loss stop? How active is your life outside of working out? Are you fairly active and moving around throughout the day or are you at a desk for most of the day? I would probably keep on your diet and exercise routine for a few more weeks and see if there's any more progress. If you're still not seeing progress you may need to increase your activity.

The RX 6400 is below the minimum and recommended specs for The FInals. The Finals lists an RX 580/1050Ti as minimum and 5700XT/RTX2070 or above as recommended. The RX 6400 performs worse than the cards listed as the minimum. The i5 7500 will perform basically the same as the i5 6600k which is the minimum requirement listed for CPUs. Your performance issues are likely mostly GPU related. RX 6400 is a bad choice with your system. The RX 6400 graphics card has PCIe 4.0 x4 lanes. Your system only supports PCIe 3.0 which halves the already limited bandwidth available to the card. Depending on the game you'll see a 10-30% reduction in performance due to using it with a PCIe 3.0 system. Find games to play that have lower system requirements, play on lower settings (low resolution too), or buy a different graphics card. Second hand RX 580 8GB or GTX 1060 6GB can usually be bought for less than the cost of an RX 6400.

You kinda just did post a review by posting here about it. The oils and sweat from your skin will wear the paint on the water bottle over time. People with sweaty or oily hands may find the paint wears faster than expected. Which colour bottle do you have? It is a known problem that the gold colour option wears faster, and they have placed a disclaimer on the store page for it (possibly added after you bought your bottle).

turning back on randomly [ROG STRIX B550-I Gaming]

I'm not too familiar with Apple's developer accounts. How exactly does this hamper Epic's ability to build a rival app marketplace for iOS devices? They can't develop for the iOS operating system at all without a developer account? Or do they just not have access to publish apps on the Apple app store? If they're making a rival app store do they need a developer account?

I have the G703 and I like it. With the RGB disabled the battery lasts for months between charges. My only issue with it so far has been an intermittent problem with the mouse scroll wheel sometimes scrolling in the opposite direction. I'll be scrolling down a page with the scroll wheel and it'll just randomly jump up in the opposite direction. Apparently it's a common problem with the G703.

Just to correct this; it seems that 800 games were delisted from Steam at the same time when Valve removed these scam games from the store. It's not known if all 800 games that were delisted were associated with this scam or if it was just a batch of unrelated removals going through at the same time.
