    Bender Blues got a reaction from si1enze in Do you know what feature this is? I enabled it and can't remember its name!   
    Ohhh lorrddyyy!!! I can not thank you enough, thank you thank you!!!
    Spent 20 minutes with GPT and Bard trying to explain what this feature does and neither could ID it.
    Bard told me to call MS🤣
     
    Thanks again si1enze!!!!

    Bender Blues got a reaction from porina in Holy Cow :( USB HDD speeds - 98mb/40mb R/W CrystalMark speeds?! (need help please)   
    After reading this thread just now, sounds about as good as its gonna get... argh.
     
    But! Changing that policy did yield a bump in writes, so thats not a bad thing!
    Cheers, and TY for your solution.
    EDIT: 
    Damn, that policy change and that slight bump in writes went from 3 hours+ for the transfer to 42 minutes. Nicely done JL!
    Ill take the bump 💯

    I did ask. Unfortunately the model of an external drive which uses an enclosure doesn't tell us the actual model of the drive itself, which is the spec I'm after. I also don't see a part number reported in that other screenshot.
     
    Maybe give CrystalDiskInfo a try? There is still a chance it gets blocked by the enclosure translation to USB.

    Is there any difference between this HDD and an external HDD? (I can picture an external HDD with USB...just never seen another form to be sure I'm talking apples to apples.)

    I had one external HDD that had a properties setting for either quick removal or performance.  Right click on that drive -> Properties -> Hardware -> Select that drive from list and click properties -> Policies....see if there's anything similar to quick removal vs. performance.  [quick removal means slow read/write]

    i mean.. we dont need GPU acceleration to have some stunning browser based games.
     
    lego used to have a propper 3D racing game with somewhat acceptable suspension physics on their website, and honestly.. the "lego worldbuilder" series of games deserve better than just be burried alive along with flash..
     
    i'm happy projects like Flashpoint exist to keep the classics alive.
     
    as for modern day examples...
    https://shapez.io/ - is a pretty feature-complete demo. factory builder / automation optimization type game.
    https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/ - i assume this made enough hype waves that you know what it is.. and it's gotten quite expansive trough time.
    https://faedine.com/games/crank/b39/ - a bit dated by now, but a game that goes much deeper than you would expect at face value.. saying more would spoil the fun.

    Bender Blues reacted to vf1000ride in AIDA64 - sensor panel, easy question.   
    Well, half fixed.  I would say to see then if the game has a setting like the other folks mentioned to leave it in windowed mode instead of fullscreen. That might get the last piece of the puzzle.
     
    Here's what mine looks like running on an older Logitech G19 keyboard display just for comparison to what yours is set up as.

    You probably wont even notice it from a Sata SSD for pretty much most things. Unless you do a lot of large transfers and such.
     
    OS May be a bit more snappy after a few years on it but even then thats circumstantial at best. 
     
    Direct Storage still has yet to show anything decent, 1 game in 3 years.

    Bender Blues got a reaction from Zando_ in Sons first build. Ryzen 5 5600x / 3060ti - mobo recommendations?   
    Stay away from the AM4's with the 5600x? As you mentioned, the chances of upgrading the CPU option.... down the road is a must on my end.
     
    Maybe I should have initially said in the first post that I kinda don't want to get locked into a mobo that in two years, theres no CPU upgrade path 😉
     
    Thank you for pointing out the Newegg boards. On that NIC issue you brought up in the beginning, where those driver issues possibly that have been corrected maybe later on?
    I'd be a little surprised if any manfucature would sell boards with flaky NIC's for long period of time.
     
    Thank You too Zando, getting narrowed down!

    Wow, nice, thank you a bunch! So glad you brought up the vrm heatsinks, that I would have over looked.
    Clean BIOS like you said, glad you mentioned that too !
     
    Both of those I would have overlooked in persuit of features. But as you said, slots etc, pretty much the same.
    Look forward to your find on the NIC's if you get the chance.
     
    Thanks again!!

    I've got a chair from Ikea. It's comfortable, it doesn't have goodies, but its cheap and I sit my butt in it almost every day and I like it a lot. For reference I'm about 5'8" and ~170lbs

    I'd ignore reviews that say the chair tilts forward, I think they built the thing wrong bc even with the pin in the lock the tilt function its fine.

    It seems trendy, just like vinyl records being trendy a few years back.
     
    I'm personally done with shooting anything on film haha. Who wants to spend a bunch of time and money developing photos only to realize that you half exposed all the film before you even put it into the camera!
     
    I think I am even over DLSRs, seems like digital mirrorless is just as good for anyone but the most experienced photographers.
