Summary Dell showcases a "more sustainable" and "repairable" laptop called "Luna" to lower the carbon footprint of the devices and cut back on e-waste. The laptop includes few screws allowing the laptop to be disassembled by hand without special tools or a heat gun. Quotes from the Verge My thoughts I'm glad that other large tech companies are being forced to think about repairability but I fear this can end up come at the cost of performance and relegate it to the low end of the market and niche portions of the community who are particular about repairability vs performance. All in all I hope it goes further than a concept piece! I want to believe this was partially caused by Framework and that they are really making a difference.

Very strange, but that worked! I bumped it to 1.334v and now its booting.I still would like to know why it suddenly needed more powa but oh well, time to run memtest Thanks for all your help!

Up or down?

I didnt change just one, they were all set the same. Also I have cleared the CMOS so all that would be reset.

TL;DR: PC was working fine then after a restart and a trip to the bios later to tweak the fan curve and lower RAM clock speed, the PC wont boot with RAM in the 3&4 slots )but works in every other combination). Sometimes it will just go to a solid white LED on VGA and sit there forever. Greetings forum goers! I am having an issue with booting PC up, I recently got into VR but was having issues getting some games to run smoothly. I was having crashes frequently in steam VR and even a green screen of death(I sadly AM on the dev channel of windows insider, waiting for a new update to drop so I can escape the clutches of insider builds X.X ). I had my memory OCd to 2933 so I tried backing it back down to its stock clock of 2800 and adjusting a fan curve. This was when I couldn't boot up anymore at all. No beeps even. I looked at the debug LEDs and saw it was stuck with white VGA . Things I have tried: Disconnecting all USB, removing GPU and trying to get different boot light, updating BIOS, resetting CMOS, testing each RAM stick individually in slot 2 (they all work fine AND it booted each time). Then I tried all different combinations of RAM in slots and verified that all slots worked. I then found that it wont boot when the 3&4 slots are populated no matter what. https://i.imgur.com/iJOm0JQ.png I am very confused at the cause, is this a Motherboard issue? A CPU? Both are only a couple of months old and hadnt had any issues before. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated! MY specs: Windows 10 64 Asus Tuf B550 plus Gigabyte GTX 1660 super OC Gskill RipJaws 4 2800 4x8 Ryzen 7 5800x Corsair CX750M

ah! I see! yes this could work! Now I just have to decide if its worth getting used to the "compact" style of keyboard. Thank you all for you suggestions! This helps a bunch!

Awesome! This might be it! Close, but sadly not full sized

I wonder why the options are so slim! Sadly the second one is slightly out of my price range (not to mention the keys are like a typewriters) and the first one doesnt seem to be brown? Do you know of any "custom" options there are? like a board only for assembly?

Hello al! I have been searching for a while on amazon, newegg, online on various keyboard retailers and other random corners of the internet for a specific set of features but I have had no luck what so ever! Im looking for a mechanical keyboard that is: Full size, wireless (but w/ usb C), has cherry brown switches (or those similar) and is backlit (though the backlight is optional). Other features are secondary and only these are the reqirements but I have never seen a keyboard that meets all these requirements! Any help would be appreciated! P.S The a chasis alone is fine, just as long as I can swap the keys to brown and have the other features.

Thanks! I shall take a look.

I see! Thanks for that bit. Which GPU would you recommend? The 2060 or the 2060 super? Also which brand? It probably doesnt matter that much on which brand I suppose.

Not compatible? As in the I/O or even if I got an adapter it wouldnt work?

Hello internet, I need your assistance (sorry if this isnt in the right spot, this post didn't seem to fit in any category as it deals with VR and GPU/buying advice etc)! I have a decision to make, I want to get into VR but don't want to deal with being tethered in one spot, so when I saw the quest I got excited and thought this could be it, however the games are limited and are pricey so I got even more excited when the Oculus Link was announced so that I could play steam games that I own. This comes to my second issue, my PC isn't powerful enough to run VR with high FPS (link to userbenchmark w/specs Here). The games I would mainly be playing in VR would be Minecraft (vivecraft) and maybe VRchat with a few other misc ones thrown in as well as watching movies and the like. My question is this: I have saved up for the quest (64 gig version @ 400 bucks) but don't know if I should get the quest (when ever its even back in stock, could be a month from now or more due to delays) and play the native games/ try my luck on getting playable frames on my current setup, OR upgrade my GPU now for better performance overall (I was thinking 2060-2060 super? Open to suggestions on that too for around 400) and wait on getting the quest/wait for the next gen untethered VR headset to come out. So I turn to you, smart people of the forum to ask what I should do. Any advice would be appreciated! ~Fox

Honestly, I need more of this, linux is grossly overlooked. Thanks for the vid! Please do more of this!!! Loved the vid

I am aware, as I said I was just noting it in case someone used SLI or crossfire as a feature one way or another
