The ONT is basically a signal converter between optical and Cat6. Fios optical line comes in, ethernet cable goes to your hardware. Unfortunately, the data needs to be processed through the Verizon router, so no you can't just plug it in to the computer. The fact that wifi is there but the...

Google Keep is also amazing

SSD technology has come a long way in the past several years. Very soon it will become the standard so the quality of (most) of them has been upped several times over. Get an SSD and you'll never want a platter drive for anything other than large format storage again.

32-bit can only handle a max of 4GB and use 3.x of that. Guessing your sister also has 4 GB on her 64-bi?The OS will always use some amount of RAM even when you're not doing anything. If you add another 4 to yours you won't see any difference, but that same 4 added to hers and you'll see her...

Depends on the drive really, though if you get a good name brand with decent reviews and a history of reliability, either type will work. Ultimately it will just depend on your preference.

I was going to tag @Darren regardless when I saw the title:D Fwiw, for the first time since I started building systems circa 2002, I'm seriously considering a Ryzen brain for my next purchase.

Definitely corsair. Build quality is amazing and they look great.

That escalated quickly. Nothing good will come from this Thread moving forward.

Any new programs installed? Any new hardware (memory really given its a laptop)? Plugged in or on battery? Full crash (bsod) or just freezes or shuts down?

Touch. The. Metal.

All highlighted areas are. Just touch the chassis.

BTDT too!

@johnb35 there's no way to manually update them, everything is handled via a push from Amazon. Definitely sounds like an intermittent network issue. I have constant issues with my Echo down stairs when on the 5ghz bandwidth, but on 2.4 it works flawlessly. Is it possible to move it to a better...

Now that's a proper owning. Well done, Omni;)

:D Maybe Bethesda will pull a Hello Games and patch it to make it worthwhile.

It's all good. Just meant that an 8600k is overkill for light gaming - a lower-end setup would suffice fine, even it it was previous gen. With the two largest discounted shopping days of the year coming up, you'd be surprised what you can find. Intel to AMD would require a MoBo change as well...

:rolleyes:

You don't need an 8600k for 'light gaming at medium settings'. Stick with an i5, but look more towards an 8400 or maybe a bit below. Previous gen is still fine too, and often yields a much better performance/price ratio. This close to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, don't buy anything right now.

Whatever one offered the best speed/bandwith/price balance. Different tiers and pricing depending on where you are, so you'd have to do some research. Keep in mind that a lot of providers will throttle speeds after a certain amount of data is used unless you pay a premium. Look into the big...
