    Cringelix reacted to tkitch in New PC Cooling   
    A 1050TI is a low-powered card and shouldn't get too warm, ever.
     
    An i5 is generally also a fairly low-powered chip and overheating shouldn't be a concern.
     
    Use HWInfo64 to track temps, and if they stay in the 50's in games?  You could turn down the fan curves some, to make it quieter.

    You can not play series s optimized games from an external.  Unfortunately at this point for new games the option is the Xbox Expansion Card.  Me and my son both have external ssd with USB 3.1 on our Series X and S.  Even with pushing all the games that can run on external drive there, we have to move games we currently are not playing off the internal while trying to play other titles.  I have been watching them especially since 2tb expansion comes out later this month.  The 1TB was actually on sale yesterday for 186.99 at Gamestop.   It sucks the Digital version of the console only has half a TB.  My son will be getting an expansion card this month.

    I have a set of KZ KZ10 Pro earbuds. I also have small ears, and the KZ's come with interchangeable earbud tips, including some very small ones which I use. Their mic is very good (Discord mates say it's pretty loud and clear) and audio quality is pretty good.

    Hey there. Assuming you want to move it to the C: drive:
    Create a new folder in the C: drive and name it "Desktop". Move all files from the D: Desktop to the C: Desktop. Open up File Explorer. In the left-panel, right-click on "Desktop", and select "Properties". Navigate to the "Location" tab, and select "Move". "Restore Default" may also work. Select the C: Desktop as the new Desktop location. If asked to merge files, select "No". Source: Can't Restore Desktop to Original Location on Microsoft Community.

    Cringelix got a reaction from IAEInferno in I have never ever played on any console in my life and I need recommendations.   
    Console preference is more to their own likings to be honest, I first started with an Xbox 360 and ended with a PS4. I have tried an Xbox One and they are pretty much the same experience for me. Xbox One is more for media playing and racing game exclusives and such meanwhile PS4 also has their library of singe-player exclusives. PS4 has their own game streaming service but you have to have a good internet connection to play them as they are played through the internet, there is no need to download and such but the main letdown about it is that it is mainly for older titles and such, you wouldn't be able to find high demand games like cod and such. In the other hand, Xbox also has their monthly game service which imo is many times better than ps4, you pay each month for a game subscription and you have a large variety of games to download and play, and they have recent titles and such, (except for cod)

    Pixel 3a is about 150 USD with a trade-in. I wouldn't worry much about it being plastic as its a strong plastic. I doubt it'll bend in your pocket like Apple did with their bendgate.

    Macs can access photos from an iPhone, but it would also have to be a Mac that you had used before or have associated with your iCloud account, otherwise your phone would have to working so that you could hit the "trust this computer" button. I think windows computers can do it too, but I forget how.

    You never want to play PC on a TV personally I've always had a bad experience where the graphics on a tv are slightly off compared to a monitor but that could just be a issue with the brand I used which was Samsung.

    1. using an ad blocker on spotify is stupid as hell. 
    2. they are a private company and have the right to ban you if you use adblock
    3. spotify has a paid model called spotify premium. if you don't want ads you can buy that.

    In similar fashion to “what song are you listening to”, I thought I’d start this thread in the hopes of being able to let off some steam in a more private environment, and laugh at each other expense. It all works out in the wash, right? Obviously make sure you stick to the forum rules and regulations, I don’t want to get anyone banned.
     
    So I guess I’ll start:
    I work in a restaurant, and I had my phone sitting on the microwave charging. Someone came to use the microwave and upon opening it, yanked my phone off flying onto the ground, and, naturally, the case broke. Thankfully no phone damage. But I just bought this case earlier this summer. So... $30 wasted. Joy
