    This happens to me all the time, I wish manufacturers would just stop partitioning the drive already, it makes things difficult when I'm constantly explaining that even though there's only one hard drive, it appears as though there are two. These days I generally just create a folder called downloads, change the default save location in their browser and point the shortcuts there. They seem to adapt fairly quickly.

    PhysX is an Nvidia proprietery technology that uses the GPU for calculating PhysICS. AMD GPUs are certainly capable of the same calculations, they just can't use PhysX.

    Yeah Nexus 9 will do just fine with reading... Apple still has the best stuff in the tablet realm, but honestly since you're comfortable with Android already, I see no reason for switching to Apple's products for your needs. But, iPads are the best well-rounded tablets. The Nexus 9 isn't the best gaming tablet, but it should be fine. Just get the Nexus.

    I installed a Hyper 212 in a system with two noctuas, wondered why it was so noisy* then saw that I'd pointed them both inwards so the fans were blowing directly into each other.

    Why don't you just remove the, properly (D:), partition and expand the (C:)? if they have files on (D:) you could store them temporarily on a USB. There is build in tools in Windws to do this, so it doesn't require some special program

    My mom thought that a USB adapter for some random cords that we happen to have lying around is a thumb drive. She tried to get it to work for about 5 minutes then screamed down the stairs at me to help her.
