    Try google I guess.
    Anyway, I think I saw somewhere awhile ago that iOS 9 is no longer supported by Apple

    This forum doesn't allow helping on bypassing security measures.
    So I think you need to find your information somewhere else.

    NotABigGamer reacted to Horizon_GFX in My setup   
    My current setup keep in mind my room is a unfinished room in the basement so it get very dusty so I struggle cleaning it lol. But I never have a whole lot of money to invest into my setup so I go budget on a lot of stuff I probably shouldn't lol. for my monitor stands I'm using a cheap dual monitor stand for the 2 on the left. and then I a old triple monitor stand that I modified I by taking some of the arms off. The stand itself was cheaply made and wasn't sturdy at all but I made it work lol. Yes, I still have a land line i live out in the boonies and I don't get cell service so we have to have a landline. I also bought a KVM waiting for it to arrive until then I use 2 USB extenders plugged into each PC and then I have a mouse for each. I know the cable management is a mess but I just moved my setup to this spot and in the process I was stupid and managed to destroy my Streaming PC / NAS so I tried using an old TERRIBLE rig I had laying around. It works but barely lol, I use this setup for a bit of everything. I use it for Casual gaming, Streaming, Content Creation, im a NOOB coder lol, and my Graphics Design. I also used to use a elgato but I just started using NDI with OBS, mainly because the 2nd PC struggles to much with windows so I am using ubuntu.

    Well I’d say a 2nd-4th gen i5/7 system would be great. You can find Optiplex and ProDesk systems for pretty cheap. Get one with a 4 core cpu, preferably 8 gb of ram but you could add more later if it comes with less. And a 240gb SSD for boot. That’s definitely under $400. (Could also add things like a Quadro K620 GPU for more powerful video if you need that)

    Used prebuilts. Look for one with an 8th gen i5 or better, 16GB of RAM, and an SSD. You should be able to get something like that for ~$200-300 depending on how lucky you are, especially since the SFF ones are less desirable and thus go for even cheaper.

    If you really prefer something new, since everyone else is suggesting used/old components, check out this from Lenovo.
    I don't know if it meets your size requirements but it seems the specs are plenty for your use case.

    Note: only 4GBs RAM come standard in these PCs. If it's not enough (it likely isn't), get some cheap RAM secondhand or choose an upgraded option when ordering.

    Sorry for not having it turned on or anything it's a black build hardly any rgb and it was necessary for the photos. I'm not worried about how pretty it is because I can't see the guts unless I take the side panels off so this works for me
    P.s. I have two additional fans coming in soon.

    NotABigGamer reacted to HaughtonBothered in First Desk PC Build   
    Hello all, new to the forums here. Just thought I'd share my current PC build, see what you all think and get a few suggestions for the next iteration. This was my first custom water cooled build, so I took it easy and created a layout that didn't require any bending. This was also the first desk I have ever made, so it's pretty rough, and the bottom half is still unfinished looking. This is sort of a prototype until I can finally find a house to move into (curse this housing market) and set up a little workshop and make something a little nicer. I'm hoping to improve my woodworking skills so that I can do a wood/resin top some day. I want to go all out on my next build, built in mini fridge and charging ports included.  Any ideas on what your ultimate gaming desk would look like?

    I'd recommend getting a can of air at least, they're cheap, about <$3 by me, U.S. Otherwise you'll be spending a lot of time with that microfiber cloth. I usually take an electric blower and go ham inside the case. Remove the dust filters, go ham on that too.

    just impractical... the die is meant to be CLOSE to the cooler, not 3 inches away on the tip if the pyramid.
    Also harder to manufacture, it would need more material.

    It's really not a good time to try and buy, you won't be able to find a graphics card for a reasonable price.
    I'd suggest he just uses his laptop for another year until prices normalize. Or, you can try and buy a prebuilt that already has a decent graphics card in it. Dell hasn't been overcharging too much for theirs.

    NotABigGamer reacted to Chris Pratt in linus offending companies   
    People need to actually listen to everything Linus says and stop taking things out of context. It's not like you even have to take into account multiple videos, as Linus pretty much always couches his statements.
     
    What's going on here is that Linus is very opinionated on some things, and particularly so when it comes to false advertising or generally lying to consumers and issues of right to repair/e-waste.
     
    Intel gets the brunt of the former, as they are constantly misrepresenting facts to make themselves look better than AMD. However, as Linus says every time, it's not that they don't have their own good points and things they could talk up, it's just that they choose to use unfair comparisons or cherry picked numbers instead.
     
    Nvidia gets it for the latter, particularly with their line of CMP mining cards, which very much are e-waste, and Linus is 100% accurate and entitled for calling them out on it.
     
    Apple gets it from both sides, because they'll talk about things like "room filling sound" that is literally not possible just based on the laws of physics with two front firing speakers. They also artificially limit the usefulness of their products in their post-life, creating e-waste. As Linus talked about with the new iMacs, there's now zero upgradeability with the M1 SoC, so allowing it to live on as a secondary monitor or something would at least give it a purpose once it's too slow for your daily needs years down the line.
     
    Long and short, Linus doesn't hate on anything. When Intel, Nvidia, Apple or whoever does something legitimately good, he's the first to sing the praises, but he also calls them on their BS. That applies to companies like AMD, too. He just did a video criticizing AMD for not making it's latest APUs available to consumers, especially right now when there's a GPU shortage.
     
    The people who think Linus picks on certain companies are honestly just fanboys that don't want to hear any criticism period. If you listen, he's fair and balanced across the board.

    With GPU prices out of most hand i got this card for around 800 in Jan with mostly stimulus money, and got to water cool this beast for around $250 or less got to tally the final number only to see that EKWB had a nicer 240mm AIO version for the 6800/6900 Reference cards, so far mining is my best way to find max temps as it does but stress on the GPU, never saw above 63c, and idle if i have the fan on under 45c and i had to use the Slim noctua 120mm fan from my backup ryzen 3600 build as it was the only 120mm fan i had that would fit and had to do it in a pull config it was the only way to fit where i wanted it in the case i could have front mounted the Copper 120mm Rad but like the back location better and my 10700k is on a 360mm AIO from MSI and everything is in a BeQuite 600 Base with side panels will return with temps with the side panel on but man this is quite now i know what all the hype is on quite PC's
