If you want something that's more on the right-to-repair friendly side of things, consider a Framework laptop.

You can make your desktop less sluggish by uninstalling the bloatware that comes on HP computers. You can start by uninstalling McAfee.

From what I can see on the thinkpad E15, it uses usb-c for charging. So, in theory if the OP uses a 20W charger through usb-c instead of 65W, it should do one of the following, but shouldn't damage the battery. Charge slowly because you're providing 1/3 of the wattage recommended. Not charge at...

Nah, there's no way XMP is not an option on a Z series chipset mobo. Especially on an Asus board. That Asus UEFI UI should have the XMP settings in the AI Tweaker page, and should be set under the AI Overclock Tuner row. If the Z170's bios is anything like my Z390's bios layout, that drop down...

If it's like any of the other Intel boards out there for the past decade... ram overclock really only consists of flipping a switch in the bios to enable the XMP profile of the ram.

It's hard to determine based on those values alone, I mean.. all this could just be the ambient temps in your room having gone up by the 6-8 deg. There's usually a few things you can do to narrow down increase idle temps (ordered from least annoying to most). Clean the radiator and fans...

This is me on wifi.

The A8 is marketed with MU-MIMO which could theoretically be more efficient when more devices are connected to it. It's also got a theoretical max connection of 1300 Mbps on the 5ghz band compared to the standard 867 Mbps on the A54. Looks like the A8 can work under TP-Link's mesh wifi eco...

That's really a non issue with IPS. Colour accuracy doesn't go out the door with a 1900R curve on an IPS panel. 10 bit's great when you have 10 bit content to consume.

I've got both a curved and flat 34" ultrawide. I started with a LG 34UM88C-P (flat 34" ultrawide) and used that for many years before moving to a LG 34GP950G-B (curved 34" ultrawide). It took some time to get used to the curve as my primary. It's not as big of a problem now as it was when I...

Just want to confirm you're referring to the small b (bit) and not the big B (byte) when you're describing the speeds between the two? What wifi card are you using? When you rolled back to 10, did you make sure you're on the latest wireless drivers? Windows updates don't usually offer the...

WinDirStat is the program you're looking for.

Why bother with a used 1tb ssd? A new 1tb mx500 is like $90 on an average day and probably $80 on a good sale. Also, The 840 EVO's had some performance issues that Samsung's tried to fix twice through firmware patches.

I guess you can argue that if you make it to the top of the ranked matchmaking, you've completed rocket league.

cables the same. I thought there was a difference before in the cables but it's more they've added the clip to the SATA 3 cables so it holds onto the connector better.

Your motherboard should come with a few sata cables. If your PSU is not modular (i.e. detachable cables), the sata power connectors should be on there somewhere.

There's definitely nothing "kind of" about that thing. It most definitely is a turd for 2022.

MS Support is more along the lines of MS releasing vulnerability security patches to the OS. If you want to fly without them, by all means go for it. I don't recommend it, but I'm also not going to stop you from doing so.

What m.2 ssd is it?

DDR5 is way too expensive right now. I wouldn't bother with that stuff. Get some low timing DDR4 and you should be fine
