    Not sure what software you are talking about. I mean there are plenty of overclocking softwares for gpus the most prominent being MSI afterburner. As for cpu it's mostly a bios thing to overclock besides software like ryzen master.

    Required reacted to Locutus von Borg in i have to pay 74€ extra for what exactly ?   
    hi there,
    i ordered the 3d jacked (249,99), screwdriver(69,99) and a towel(19,99), all together 339,97 USD
    on top of that shipping 24,99 and taxes 69,35. again totaled to 434,31 USD

    today i got the message that i would recieved a package, but i have to 74€- at first i thought about it as a scan, cause i didnt order anything and then it hit me, it could be this order from lttstore. but now im confused why i have to pay taxes, if the taxes were included. and the 74€ are also more that the usual 19% taxes. it WOULD be 19% if i take they whole order including the shipping AND taxes into account as well, so the 434,31 USD.

    i am rly mad right now cause i expected that ALL taxes have been paid, because i had to pay more after i had chosen my location in germany. so what is going on. i mean, i shall not pay double taxes right now, i also shall pay taxes ON TAXES and on the SHIPPING cost ... this is madness. so who is at fault here? i am for my stupidty not knowing that could happen, or not reading carefully enough? im lost for words right now xD

    Required reacted to GoodBytes in Win11 on Arm what run?   
    I have the Lumia 950 XL
    Windows 11 runs on it, yes. And you can run it much better than on the video if you disable Windows 11 added security features over Windows 10.
    And will run even better once you disable Windows Defender. The Snapdragon 810 is one heck of old chip, and it was pretty much a disaster when it was new. Qualcomm was quick to release a newer chip and phone manufacturer quickly switch to it.
     
    Anyways, Windows 11 won't run for long. Microsoft pulled support for such old SoCs. Rasbery Pi 4 is also expected to no longer work as result.
     
    The biggest hurdle for the Lumia 950 XL experience with Windows 10 or 11, is the fact that there is no GPU drivers, and all other important system drivers are based on leaks drivers from some sort based and made for either the dev of the OS or for MS to test running Windows 10 on it. Good luck playing 240p YouTube video smoothly. The SoC can't handle it due to lack of proper GPU drivers.
     
    Windows 10 Mobile drivers don't work under Windows 10. They are different OSs beside the name (technically, they share a lot between the 2x OSs, especially later builds of the OS, due to the OneCore project, but ultimately, it's still a very different OS), hence why the camera doesn't work under Windows 10 or 11. And while the community worked on custom drivers for some things to get it working like Wi-Fi. It's not all perfect. For example, not all the cores of the Snapdragon 810 are being used, and battery life is awful (no power saving feature works, everything goes max performance, all the time. Idle or not)
     
    Similar boat on Raspberry Pi 4 running Windows 10/11. No SD card drive, so disc activity is super slow, and tis the main reason why it takes ages to boot. And can only use 3GB of RAM and not the full 4 or 8GB (depending on model). No driver support.
     
    Anyways, it is a fun cool project to play with. It's great to see that the device can have some kind of second life for those who has one. But aside from this, it isn't something you actually want to use. Under Windows 10 up until a certain version, the phone apps and Message apps are there and worked. So, you could still do calls and SMS just fine under Windows. Was pretty cool. This is gone now.
     
    But anyway, if you want Windows 11 on ARM running properly and officially supported, you have the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 which is offered in both Intel and Microsoft SQ3 ARM SoC (A modified Qualcomm high end chip to MS specifications... mostly AI cores stuff being added). The device performs very well. It's issue, is that the price for performance is actually poor. Better get the Intel model, unless you REALLY want that long battery life, and 4G Network support, or you are a developer with interest in making your app for ARM64 Windows
     
    It must be noted that:
    Microsoft has a special contract with Qualcomm which limits MS to Qualcomm (so a bad deal for MS) for many years. And that Qualcomm doesn't see ARM64 on laptops and desktops. The direction of the company is still focus on phones and only phones. So, their SoC aren't tuned like Apple M series chips. It's more "Let's take our mobile SoC, specially tweaked and tuned for Android, and just tweak things to allow the chip to consume more power and clock a bit faster and call it a day", type of mentality, and not really putting R&D in making a good laptop chip. And MS being stuck, they over price that SoC to the next level. Also, they don't, like Apple, the advancements to help in the performance of x86/x86-64 translation perform better, as once again, they actually don't care, as they lack vision in having a third choice. And I think it only hurts them, hence why on the Server market, the big companies just make their own ARM chip as Qualcomm isn't serious. This will hurt Qualcomm in the long run. They'll miss the boat on consumer PCs and Server market.
     
    And of course, as a result of all this, you really want to stick to ARM64 native apps for really the best experience, else performance will drop notably on you. So, you want to stick to Edge, Office, Windows native apps, and the few third-party apps, like VLC and Adobe apps which were made for AMR64 native.
     
    So, all to say, you pay more, for a decent chip sure, but Intel, for much less, will deliver you a better experience due to the better performance.

    Well this wasn't nearly as fun to watch as some of the earlier collabs, but if this guy is such a big deal on Twitch then sure, why not.
     
    It does seem like an economical and ecological nightmare to move every couple of months or so and just buy everything new every time. Way to screw over the environment. You'd think there's other ways to deal with being that "famous", after all it's not like every famous person does this.

    Honestly?  Don't buy that.
     
    It's a thin client.  The hardware is super locked down, and hellishly underpowered.  Whatever you're trying to do?  You can do better with a used PC that'll be easier to work with.
