    Good news! There is indeed an easy way to create windows programs. Just get a windows-based system... They are kinda common.

    nieblas008 got a reaction from TraineeGab in is 550w Gold power supply enough for a 3060ti (planning to undervolt if necessary)   
    Still valid. That 200W is also for the 3060 ti, and it's the peak, so it will rarely hit that. I think with those components you have chosen, your PC might draw half of that 550W PSU.

    What I like to do is add up the max power draw of the CPU and GPU combined, and then add 100W as good measure. The 3060 ti can peak to 200W and the i5 says 65W. I'd say it will be enough, usually I wouldn't trust Intel CPU's rated power draw but since it cannot be overclocked, it's gonna be fine.

    nieblas008 reacted to tikker in I bought an iTunes movie and I want to download it, am I pirating?   
    I am not aware of any streaming service that offers actual files, since that would be piracy heaven. This inability to have a copy is why the term "buy" on streaming services has been under fire in the past. It quickly becomes vague or borderline misleading what you are actually buying. If you take Amazon's Prime terms for example:
    In this case you are buying access to the movie and not a copy of said movie, like with a DVD or Blu-ray. You can of course debate if there is any real difference between "having access" and "getting a copy".
     
    Apple does seem to imply somewhat otherwise:
    so as far as downloading it in iTunes and keeping a backup of that you should be fine, but getting the actual file to use on other devices most likely requires breaking the DRM protection, which is not allowed under most laws (it's good to check local laws regarding this, because the rules about being allowed to make a copy for personal use do not apply to streaming services in our copyright law, for example, due to their on-demand nature). Similarly, breaking the copy-protection on discs is also typically not allowed, but usually conflicts with the right to a home copy and can thus end up a bit of a gray area.

    nieblas008 got a reaction from da na in I bought an iTunes movie and I want to download it, am I pirating?   
    Recently I came across LTT's video on how to setup a Plex server and rewatched (I watch the videos daily as if it was a religion). This time I got curious and started to wonder how I could put all my media on a drive. I watch almost exclusively movies I buy on iTunes, so no streaming services usually. I know that there is a download button on the Apple TV app but that would only work for my Mac and not for other devices. I don't know much about copyright and things like that, but my only purpose would be personal, to use MY bought content on Apple TV on MY devices. Now, question is: is it ok to look to download content that way? And if not, is there another store where I could download actual files?
     
    Again please keep in mind I have little to no knowledge about this topic, that's why I'm asking beforehand, thanks.

    nieblas008 got a reaction from GamerTrem in EVGA Z20 Keyboard Replacement   
    Your safest option is Logitech. They are one of, if not the biggest brand in computer accessories, and therefore have the best support. They also make really great keyboards. I personally have a Logitech G Pro keyboard that's over 2 years old at this point and it is still rock solid, not a single defect.
     
    Some other options I've heard good reviews from are Corsair and Keychron, but I don't have any personal experience with them. Still, they make good keyboards.

    nieblas008 got a reaction from Slayerking92 in Dumb enough where I couldn’t follow instructions from the Windows 11 video   
    Well the title should explain most of the topic, I got an Intel Core i5 2400, 6GB of RAM, and a GT 1030. Not great specs but able to run Windows 11, aside from not having Secure Boot or TPM.
    So, I was excited to try out Windows 11, got into the Insiders Program, followed all the instructions from the recent video on LTT, and I got pretty far, I got the ISO and even was installing the new Windows, but right after it finishes, I get a message saying “Windows could not update the computer’s boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed.” and now I am stuck with no PC because I had already formatted Windows 10. Does anybody happen to have any ideas for how I could fix it? Good thing at least is that I have an iPad that serves me well in the meantime.
     
    I’ll be pending, thanks a lot for the help.

    Yep. Should work just fine.

    nieblas008 reacted to Lurick in Can a Core i5-2400 boot a 32 bit Windows 7?   
    It can boot a 64-bit OS even, so yes it will boot at 32-bit just fine.

    then there's your answer, it cannot. The PSU shroud doesnt go anywhere either so using a smaller SFX PSU won't help

    nieblas008 got a reaction from DeadAssClown in how far to upgrade?   
    Any Core i5 would do fine (I guess, as long as it's quad-core), put more attention to the GPU, a GTX 1070 is what I'd say is the bare minimum, or a 2060, for the new gen.
