for some reason Edge doesn’t use the bookmarks folder UWP applications seem really disintegrated from the OS core and all over the place, idk why

that’s cool, which would more likely be the cheaper option and what would be the easiest thing to look for when buying a RX560? thanks for that tho ^^

That's neat. I always thought it was better performance with a Intel/NVIDIA or AMD/AMD combination over others, but looks like I'm wrong about that :P

lol @ ever considering using a paid "big name" AV solution, they're memory hogs and always have been... and in some cases probably untrustable in the case of companies like Kaspersky who i seem to recall once logged a bunch of data on their own servers and shared it with russian intelligence...

I'm probably going to go ahead and upgrade the RAM to 8GB DDR3 SDRAM in this OptiPlex 390 at some point, but I'm not keen on touching the processor or such which is from the Sandy/Ivy Bridge era. I'm generally just interested in upping some performance in things, not a heavy at all gamer (or a...

Damn I thought that chipset is meant for netbooks :/

digzu#7055 on Discord. And yeah, this thread is a good idea IMO :P

There's apparently quite a lot of issues with it draining battery and appears to be an ongoing problem since quite a while from a quick search on Google. I don't have an Android device, though.

Look for a DVD-video authoring tool. I'm guessing that's what you're looking for - VLC can't do this, it's just a player. I don't remember any DVD-video authoring tool that was good, though, so I can't really help you with that. :/

My desktop came with W7 originally, runs 1903 W10 like a charm anyway though so no need to use W7 (not that I like 7 too much anyway...)

It was fine from an ordinary USB. Then again I didn't exactly use quality CDs either. :P Good to know, though.

Didn’t Avast do something to CCleaner a while back (bundle crapware iirc), and also I always found Avast horribly difficult to uninstall anyway no matter what... always left traces somewhere. So no, it never was, even before the CCleaner scandal... Defender might not be the best (it’s pretty...

I always had a lot of problems with W7 tbh. Vista and 10 felt unstable at first but they’ve actually matured quite well IMO.

@_Pete_, mind sharing the WLAN drivers installed and the WLAN chipset? Might be a known issue of some sorts. Also try disabling 5Ghz WLAN on your router and see if that stops/lessens the dropouts since I know some older chips that were used in some Macs seem to act screwy with 5Ghz...

Are there any USB disc drives that are bootable? I don’t actually need one since my desktop has a DVD drive but I’m fairly curious if such a thing exists (I had one for an old netbook a while ago but it wasn’t possible to boot from it).

What was said above plus some extra detail: Usually, a 32-bit OS can only use approx. 3.83GB of RAM unless a physical address extension is used, though those typically lead to instability and you can’t allocate more than 3.83GB to an application anyway. Alongside that your onboard graphics are...

I picked up a Dell OptiPlex 390 yesterday for just £60 in full working order which was an absolute bargain! I’ll post my specs here as my first post here on this forum. Processor: Intel Core i5 (2nd Gen/2400/Ivy Bridge, 3.1Ghz) Graphics: Intel HD 2000* RAM: 4GB Hard Drive: Western Digital 1TB...
