    Hello! I was wandering if anyone was any experience with windows 11 on the laptop side of things. I'm thinking about updating to win11 but from what I read online it has a big impact on battery life, in a bad way. I am using my laptop mostly plugged in and only occasionally on battery power for uni courses, etc, so I kind of need it. Does anyone have clue how laptops behave?

    That is something I cannot remember, the monitor itself is relatively new
  3. Albert F
    Nope. It had no peel

    Only once I've cleaned it with some lens cleaner but then I switched to water as that is what the manufacturer recommended

    I can 100% assure you that that is not sneezing. The spots are there even after I clean my monitor

    Hello there, I've noticed for a while that my monitor has these weird spots on it that are only vizibile when it is closed and when looking very closely at it (I had to get really close and turn on the flash on my phone to capture them) The question I have is: What are they? Has anyone else come across this before? P.S. The monitor in question is an AOC 24P2Q

    I did not reset windows through the little reset option in settings. I just went in with my trusty install USB and overwrote the partition the the OS was in (about to delete the Windows.old folder). The other partition I have are just 2 games and a few of my photos. (20GB at max)

    Ok so.... Long story short a few days ago my account was "hacked" and some bastard from Indonesia left me with an unpaid ~130 bill for running scam ads. I have no clue how this happened as I am pretty carefully with my data and don't go on shady websites. Ever since a few days ago I keep getting alerts that I've been logged out of my Google account because a suspicious app was found on my laptop (I'm resetting the whole thing tonight) and I started thinking about getting a recovery email. The question is: What other options I have besides creating another google account to get a recovery email?

    So you are basically saying that I should look for a SSD that has HMB and I should be good?
  10. Albert F
    Usually the more ram the better. But in your case I would say that an SSD would be a better upgrade as the whole system would not be kept back by the ancient HDD anymore.

    Ok, so we all know a few years back DRAMless SSDs were not recommended in any way shape or form. But now with more and more drives going DRAMless (like the Samsung 980) are they a good deal? I am looking to buy an M.2 NVME drive to use as my main storage device and being on a budget DRAMless drives are all I can afford. (first time m.2 user here)

    I know that supposedly my laptop has a M.2 NVME port but in the bios I saw references to a secondary sata port. (Acer AN515 31)

    Ok so... I supposedly have an M.2 slot for expansion in my laptop but upon researching the types of M.2 SSDs there are 2 types SATA and NVME. Now here comes the question. If you have an NVME slot can you use a SATA based SSD in it? And what is up with all the "key" types? I'm just really confused....

    20$

    Ok so... Here is the deal. I found an Adata 256GB Swordfish SSD listed online for quite cheap and I am in need of a decent SSD (2.5 inch or NVME) to put in an old laptop that I will do quite a bit on because it has to replace my desktop station. The offer seems pretty good as the seller provided a photo with the SSD health for Adata's SSDtoolbox and it appears as 100% but the thing is that besides that 100% the number of TBs written is also listed at 5.06TB. Is this a good deal or not? If else can anyone recommend a decent SSD that fits the specifications and is in my budget? (~30usd yes I am on an extreme budget, collage student here)

    I'll try remounting it
  17. Albert F
    The thing is about this one that it is so loud that it drives you nuts and peanuts. The whole case helps it by vibrating
  18. Albert F
    I remember back when my laptop had a hard drive and it was nowhere near as loud as this one. The whole damn case vibrates
  19. Albert F
    I just bought this drive and is making this absolute "hrrrrrrr" sound that drives me NUTS! I've switched to SSDs a long time ago and for the love of GOD they are a heaven send. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Af7Un50bR01AHLnNs4wGWFaTG54lu10H/view?usp=drivesdk

    You need to research the controller that is in your case and see the rgb leds are controlled by the motherboard or if you get something like a remote for the controller included in the box. there are some controllers that can be controlled by remotes and some that don't

    It's a "custom" office PC. So standard ATX
  22. Albert F
    Hello there, I am looking for a cheap and decently reliable PSU for an office PC that pulls around 200W as it runs on integrated graphics. The PSU won't be that strained as most of the time the PC will be used for web browsing
  23. Albert F
    Quite* that's a spelling mistake from my end

    The A8 has quite a bad screen as I saw it on display in a shop. The MatePad is from huawei and huawei is quite done for, if you don't have google services you are in for one heck of a strugle. The Realme Pad is the one device I have and the device I would suggest getting. It has good battery life and the speakers are quite good (not iPad level but more than your average phone). Also the screen gets quite dim if that's something you are looking for. P.S if you need any more info about it just let me know

    what he said but also turn off the phone. I am dead serious
