Got a question you think lots of people have asked before? Then this topic is for you! (Most likely not final version, any suggestions for improvements are very welcomed). Things to do (feel free to leave suggestions): Edit the order from most common to least common question. Suggest some good routers in different price brackets. Suggest some VPN providers. Maybe add more questions. General polishing. Why is my Internet so slow? How can I improve my wireless speed? Quick list of things you can do to improve your wireless speeds: What do the different wireless standards (802.11n, 802.11ac, etc) mean? 2.4GHz vs. 5GHz and what does dual band mean? What is QoS? What is the difference between a router, a switch and a modem? What should I look for when buying a router? What is port forwarding and how do I do it? How do I access my router's web interface? What is the difference between Megabit and Megabyte? I have heard about this thing called pfSense, what is it? What is a VPN and do I need one?

I'm SLOWLY digging out from under the mess of this new editor. BRING BACK TEXT TAGS. PRETTY PLZ. Note: It's getting complete, somehow. Post your complaints corrections and additions below. Everything is my opinion, even if it has a graph or flies in the face of something Linus said. First watch this: FAQs: What's the most important thing I can do to improve my audio experience? I have a low impedance headset. People tell me that onboard audio is terrible and a dedicated soundcard will improve my audio experience. How much will it really improve? What is a DAC? How is it different from a soundcard? Which is better? So, do I need a better soundcard or external AMP/DAC or is my onboard good enough? I think I need a better soundcard. What should I look for in a sound card or an external AMP/DAC? What should I look for in a pair of headphones? I was thinking about buying good high impedance headphones in the future. Should I just get the amp/dac or soundcard now that would drive them, and buy the headphones later? Should I get a cheap soundcard with virtual surround like dolby headphone or use a headphone with discrete drivers? But I want a surround sound headset! What are the advantages of a good pair of headphones with a cheap mic? OK, fine, but can't you just tell me what to get already and be done with it? This is all very confusing!

Hi, I'm using windows 11 through an ARM virtual machine and I tried installing Rainbow Six Siege everything worked up until battle eye needed to download and gave the Error BattlEye Driver Update failed to install Error 1275 i tried a few solutions, but none have worked because it being ARM the core solution option is not there and was wondering if anyone knows a solution.

So im building my first watercooling loop, just ordered all the parts. But I wanted to ask, im planning on putting my EK XRES 100 mounted to the middle fan spot on the front of my case. This means that there will be some tubing and a top mounted radiator above it. When I go to fill the loop, will the pressure from the liquid above it cause the reservoir to overfill? Or will it be ok? IE: Does my fill port need to be at the highest point in my loop? If so, how can I go about doing this since Im going to have a top mounted radiator

Hello there, I need help using pi hole for making custom hostnames for lan PCs and VM.I have a lot of stuff in VMs,2 openwrt aps and a couple of server...

Title. I've tried loading Floatplane on my laptop running Win10, Chrome. My computer running both Win7 Chrome, Firefox, and now Edge. No matter what setup I use or browser it sits on the loading(?) screen. I uploaded a photo of what I see no matter what page I try to access.

so I have been wondering; I plan to upgrade my cooler master 212 evo soon to AIO liquid cooling (size 240mm or above). Gonna place it on the top (I am using define r5 case) and make a pull configuration to cool down my core i5 6600k. One question that I have been think is, will the air that pull out will also pull away the air that has been exhaust by my gigabyte gaming g1 980 ti? I thought that doing liquid cooling will do a much better not only on my cpu, but also help pull always the hot air inside my case. Thanks alot, looking forward to hear you guys thought. Note: I only do overclock until I got AIO liquid cooling. For now, I'm just gonna stick with stock

Hey guys so I will be getting my parts soon but this is my first time I am assembling a PC. I have watched many youtube videos including Linus, JayZ, Austin Evans etc. So i need to ask this... What can go wrong here? I think i got it but still, its a matter of a $1000.... Also i have no idea how to plug those front panel connectors, as i can see different motherboards have it in different location so will it be written below the header or I have to refer to the manual... Also how can i differentiate between fan headers and audio headers and also how many fans can i connect to my motherboard?

inb4 comments on why I need 4 GPUs; this will be an Octane Rendering Machine. The title says it all... This is going to be my second watercooled build (my first watercooling build)--I'd like to get as much feedback as possible before I begin building. The tubing size is 3/8" ID/ 5/8" OD, 240MM Rad, 420MM Rad, and a 360 Rad, D5 x Res Combo. I'm mainly curious about my GPU loop, I know it's functional but how much hotter will be loop run with that configuration, versus a typical parallel config, or a series config. Are the temp differences negligible?

I saw a link to videocardz.com on reddit talking about this but I do not know if it is legit or not. I thought this would be a good place to ask about this. Thank you.

I can't seem to figure it out, or is it just not possible. I just don't want to double post, especially because the post will be viewed by some in a spammy/scammy way. and is there a FAQ page because I cant find that ether!

We are extremely excited to announce our launch on Vessel, a brand new online video platform aimed at providing high quality, curated content to online viewers Vessel FAQ What is Vessel? Vessel is a low-priced ($2.99 USD per month) subscription service that provides early access to the web’s best short-format videos from many of its most creative storytellers and best video-based talent. Does this mean that you won’t be putting your videos on YouTube or the free web? Our videos will continue to be on YouTube and the free web like they always have been. Vessel allows fans to support creators by subscribing to get early access to videos. Who is Vessel for? Vessel is for fans who want to get early access to videos from their favorite creators and support those creators by subscribing to Vessel and allowing creators to earn a lot more per view compared to the free web. Is putting videos behind a paywall anti-fan? We don't think so - ultimately, this enables creators to invest in making better and more ambitious content, which benefits every fan--even the ones who choose not to pay. What if I don’t have a credit card or find paying challenging? Vessel is committed to keeping the subscription price as low as possible, supplemented with light load of advertising. In addition, in celebration of their launch, they are giving away a full free year to fans who sign up during the first 72 hours of our launch. Use our referral link when you sign up, http://vessel.com/linustechtips, to help support the cause! Won’t this divide your fans since some will watch your videos before others? Even today, some fans watch videos the day they come out, some a week later. This will not change. Is Vessel a YouTube competitor? No. They’re each part of a much larger video ecosystem, and each of them offers a different way to help creators build their business. At the end of the day, they’re all interested in seeing that ecosystem thrive. Do you view Netflix or Hulu as competition? They are focused on a very different market, for professionally-produced, long-form content. Vessel is complementary in that they are a subscription video service for a different, but equally as important type of video. What is your contract with Vessel? What is the terms of your deal? We won’t be commenting on our contract or deal terms. If you have any other questions, please post them below, and we will answer them to the best of our ability!
