  1. I'm looking at portable monitors as a dedicated notes/schedule display. I've tried ipad pro and surface pro, but these aren't quite a good fit. I need a display where I can copy/paste and drag files into without the need for 3rd party software. So, secondary portable monitor is the next step in my search. For specs, 4k seems overkill, so I'm looking for 2k USB-C displays that would work well in portrait orientation. Are portable monitors pretty much the same across the board these days, or are there any specific recommendations that would match my needs? Edit: I'm using for Windows 10.
  2. It seems that Brave Browser users are unable to disable a background task "Utility: Bat Ledger Service". It is taking up 200+MB on my system, and I wouldn't have known if I didn't just run out of physical memory on my laptop. This has already been reported as a bug: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/3436 https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/aygxis/how_to_disable_bat_ledger_service/ But I'm trying to decide if this is a breach of ethics on Brave's part worthy of me uninstalling. 1. I don't see any references to BAT processing in the Brave Browser EULA. Am I missing it? 2a. Is this a different situation than when you visit a website that processes crypto in the background? 2b. The tie-in between Brave and BAT is more of a public secret than malware https://hackernoon.com/why-basic-attention-token-bat-is-a-promising-crypto-investment-435dcb28b6e4 3. If I disable Brave Rewards, should I have to keep giving the BAT network my resources to process their ledger? (Again, why not stipulate in EULA?) 4. I do not recall ever seeing anything about BAT processing in Brave marketing. This seems a lot a more shady. Consider "Come use Brave, we protect your privacy" vs "Come use Brave, we protect your privacy, and you'll be a part of the BAT network" Nothing illegal happening here that I can see. It just seems shady. Maybe? idk edit: spelling

  4. I do all my Amazon purchases through the Amazon Smile program which donates a portion of my purchases to a charity. Would you consider providing your Amazon affiliate links with the option to use Amazon Smile (smile.amazon.com instead of www.amazon.com)?
  5. FYI. BIOS was already at latest rev from 2009, so no new results. I did try resetting CMOS just in case. Same level of fail encountered.
  6. I decided to open up a ticket with Gigabyte (the card manufacturer) to see what they have to say. I do have a GTX 1060 in my main system. i might try that out just for giggles.
  7. BIOS update unfortunately did not work. Guess its times to find a new home for this card.
  8. Thanks. I'll give it a shot. FWIW, the board has UEFI boot enabled, but you may be right about the BIOS compatibility. I can't even remember the last time I upgraded the BIOS.
  9. I'm having trouble trying to breathe some new life into my old Q6600 system with a new RX 560 graphics card. system specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vJBnm8 PCPartsPicker does not flag any incompatibilities; the system turns on; but the display does not get a signal. The system works fine with my original GT620 card. Any clues? Do I need to upgrade the PSU? Do I need to try different RAM? Do I need to make a sacrificial offering of my first born child?! I'm stuck. Any help appreciated. PS. My exact board is not in PCPartsPicker inventory. Here is the actual board I'm using: https://ark.intel.com/products/50380/Intel-Desktop-Board-DP35DP
