Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

How would that cause the messed up cloned chrome windows?

 

Edit: Also I'm getting triggered by your 2 member titles... the real ones are back; we don't need the fake ones in location anymore :P

i saw this on eBay

"The iPhone has 32GB of memory space."

That's not inaccurate ... storage is one type of memory. It's just that we commonly use "memory" when strictly talking about RAM and that can lead to some misunderstandings! ;)

The name of the product is mis-leading. If you scroll down it actually has a gtx 950 ;)

Still tho, the GT x10 stuff needs to go... or at least get rebranded...

 

I've seen too many users buying those things only to regret that purchase later on...
