Anyone else has this problem that when AirPods connect to my windows pc, the Bluetooth doesn't work 10/10, instead, it connects and sounds ok but at the second it starts crackling and sounding awful. I want to fix this so bad but I have seen lots of tutorials and still can't fix it. Somehow it sounds like the connection isn't strong enough, but my Bluetooth from the pc works great with all other devices, and my AirPods sound great while connected to my phone and being 20 meters away, so it doesn't make sense. It must be some sort of configuration or something related to that, if anyone knows how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Some bluetooth expert, please help me fix this

Hi guys! So... This computer of mine has been a long time in the making. For the past 5 years, I have been dreaming up new ways to improve my computer. The first computer I ever had was a Dell 530s. It was a hand-me-down from my parents who had gotten sick and tired of Windows Vista. Link here! https://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Dell-Inspiron-530S-Core-Duo-Desktop-Computer-Refurbished/4239750/product.html SPECS: Core 2 Duo at a WHOPPING two cores, two threads, 1.8 GHz. 4 gigs of DDR2 a 500 GB hard drive Laughable internal graphics So, as a 12 year old kid, I LOVED this thing. I could play minecraft at 30 FPS with all of the optifine settings turned down to the minimum. I was in LOVE. I even added ram, bumped up to 6 gigs and then threw in a cheap radeon HD 6450. About two years later, a friend of mine called me. He had a CPU and GPU for sale for $50 a piece. So... Here comes build no. 2 for a total of $400. SPECS: Core i3 3220, two cores two threads at 3.3 GHz. Radeon HD 6450 Sapphire Vapor-X edition with 1 gig GDDR3 4 gigs DDR3 (Later upgraded to 8 gigs) Recycled HDD from previous PC A DIYPC Solar-M1-R (Man this thing was sweet) Some cheap red EVGA LEDs This was my baby. I could play Skyrim! GTA IV! The whole nine yards. I loved it so much. I could max out my minecraft settings! (This is prior to a lot of large updates that hindered performance) My life was complete. I was "Done" with my computer, or so I thought. Later on, I went to build a computer for my uncle. I built him a system with a quad-core xeon 3123 v3 and a 750ti inside for some VERY light editing. OOPS! I ordered two video cards! I guess he just had to give me the second card as payment. New video card! So that brought my FPS counter up. Now I was having CPU problems! I could play Far Cry 4, because my CPU had 4 threads, but she sure did cry under the pressure. Then... I saw a discount at MicroCenter. I could get $50 off a bundle of a CPU and motherboard! So I began plotting. I decided on a white build with RGB lighting, for maximum color flexibility. I bought the 4690k and a Z97 KRAIT board from MSI. I took it home and slapped a .4 GHz overclock onto my CPU with the stock cooler. Thought I was pretty baller! I could play games... for now. With my mismatched parts; green ram, white board, red case and lights, and blue stock cooler, I decided it was time for the ultimate change. This was a year ago. I went to micro center again... this time with $700. I went HAM! I bought: NZXT H400 (white) 8 GB Hyperx Fury (Black, they didn't have white) Corsair H100i GTX (the RGB version) a GTX 960 G1 Gaming (Black video card with 4 gigs VRAM) Corsair 850m PSU I took them home, and stayed up all night... and finished it. A year later, with a few more minor upgrades (boot SSD, RGB lights, 24-pin extension, etc.) My baby is done. Again. So... Here she is. SPECS: Corsair H440 (white) Core i5 4690k @ 4.8 GHz Corsair H100i GTX Gigabyte Windforce GTX 960 G1 Gaming edition (4 GB) MSI z97 KRAIT edition Toshiba OCZ 250 GB SSD (TLC NAND is a mistake. Buy SLC drives, don't cheap out.) Two generic HDD's, one 500 GB and one 1TB Corsair 850 watt modular PSU I love it. <3 White mist is its name. Please give me any constructive criticism, comments on aesthetics, or comments on as to good/bad choices I made in the past or now. I'm excited to hear!

I really want to know what you guys think the difference between a nerd and a geek is. I have no idea, I've been called both for a good long time.

Hello! I have recently purchased a new solar panel, charge controller, battery, and DC to AC inverter. Ratings for each component: Solar Panel: 5W, 12V-(~0.416 amps) Charge Controller: 12V/24V, Max power ~390W @12V, Max Current Rating ~30A Battery: 12V, 7Ah, Operating Current ~2.12Amps DC to AC inverter: 500W ~120V ~4.16Amps I hooked everything up to it and then plugged in a surge protector 6-strip with my PC connected to it. It turned on and began to post, but in the process my PSU was buzzing and I dis not like the sound. Why is it making this noise and is it safe to use?

Figured this community might know a thing or two about computers, so I came here to ask a question. Is there any possible way (Website, manual, etc...) to find IC Schematics layout for motherboards?? I want to do some homework on my own motherboard through MSI and can't seem to find a solution to my problem. Thanks!

I'm just gonna cut to the chase here, I calculated the exact number of inches between my humble abode and my LTT's headquarters. I did this using google maps so hopefully it's pretty accurate. So, without farther adieu.. ado? adieu? without farther waiting.. *Drum Roll* 109,881,889.98 inches Yep, that's all.

What are the chances of myself meeting a PC hardware enthusiast at high school. I'm starting in year 7 and I want a friend who I can talk about gtx 980's and i7 5960X and stuff like that (windows 10 release) blablahblah. What are the chances

Hello Disciples of the almighty Linus! I want to share my story with the beautiful LTT community about how Linus helped me get my life back on track. It all started a little less than 3 years ago. I had just started high school, but I had no direction. I used to be interested in automobiles, but I had started to lose track. This, combined with the fact that I had started to live alone, without any parents and the constant increase in bullying (being 200 pounds at the start of high school doesn't help) as well as sack of shit best friends meant that I started to get depressed, for the lack of a better word. Now, nobody in family actually knew any of this (and for the most part, they still don't now), so my grandpa got me a birthday gift that would change my life forever, for the good and the bad; a new laptop. This was the first ever PC that I could call my own. I started a Facebook account and everything because the few friends I had told me to. But social media just made me feel even sadder at life. I was constantly contemplating suicide whenever I saw my bullies and bullshit excuses of best friends having fun, going to parties and just generally hanging out. It got to the point that I started drinking. Underage drinking. (though it only lasted a couple of days) My grades were going down faster than ever. My self-esteem was going down even faster. So I decided to start a YT account. At first I only watched videos from creators like Smosh, FreddieW etc. to cheer myself up. But they only helped while I was watching the videos. Once the videos had finished, I always felt a sudden rush of emptiness and self-hatred again. Then I found out about the tech community. At first I watched videos from people like MKBHD, Austin Evans (or Duncan33303). I saw phone reviews and all that kind of stuff. This kept me interested and got me into technology. But none of this still helped my 'situation'. Then I eventually found LinusTechTips. And my life has never been the same again. I got so interested into technology that whenever I would get to meet my mom, usually twice a year for a week or so at a time, I always got something new for my laptop. And before I knew it, my bed had turned into a proper workstation. I finally found something to live for. Today, I still don't have any real friends. I still weigh 100+ KG. And I still just keep locked up in my room. But I now have purpose. I feel like people now actually talk to me, even if it is only about AMD vs Nvidia (TEAM GREEN BABY). I finally found a purpose to life, and I have to thank Mr. Linus Sebastian for that. And @LinusTech, if you're reading this, please know that whatever I can do to repay you, I will. You will always have a special place in my heart because you're my only saviour. Ta.

I'm not sure how many people on this forum know Nerd³ but he made a video a while ago about his new system, which was absolutely beastly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JhqZk9xr-k There is a spec list in the description but it is just insane. Unfortunately it did die almost immediately. (It was replaced under the warranty) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IoV5nrV4E0 What do you guys think of a system that is this powerful?

Never did I think Id find an entire forum full of people who are just as into PCs and hardware as much as I am. This is actually fucking great <3

Just a thread to discuss about ActionScript 3.0 and what Adobe is going to do with it, will it die or will it live on?

Hi, i was wondering if all these pc parts are compatible with each other: RAM: G.Skill Sniper F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 Motherboard: MSI H97 Gaming 3 Motherboard case: Nanoxia Claw case HDD: Western Digital WD Blue 1TB WD10EZEX Disk drive: Samsung SH-224DB 24x DVDRW OEM O.S: Microsoft Windows 8.1 64bit OEM PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W B2 Power Supply CPU: Intel Core i5 4690 GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked 3GB I am not planning to overclock, and i am trying to build a budget GTX 780 build (live in Australia) so please dont tell me i need an SSD or a 'k' series CPU, thanks for the thought but i would just like to know if all these parts are compatible, thanks!

Don't worry, this is RAM related. So I'm substanially more knowledgable about computers than my dad, and he knows this. He's selling some RAM on eBay right now and he asked me what speed it was. As I go over to take a look, he says ' Oh wait, it says on the box. 10,600MHz'. I thought 'Okay, so either it says 1,600MHz... or the Enterprise is missing some RAM' The best nerd moment. I thought you should know :p

Hi guys, post about some of the nerdiest thing(s) that you did this week , Only tech related comments/posts..
