    X870 leak confirms Ryzen 9 9950X Zen5 flagship CPU

    Another generation where we will have to wait a ton of extra time for the X3D parts.

    Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone - happens on both clean installs and reinstalls

    Yeah... an interesting era for sure. A year or two ago I dug up my old Dual AthlonMP 2800+ system and wanted to turn it into a novelty vintage rig. Somehow, I bumped one of the heatsinks while the system was turned on and this was apparently enough to upset it's delicate balance on that tiny...

    Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone - happens on both clean installs and reinstalls

    A Fresh Windows 11 install, even including the 24H2 release preview and the newer Dev and Canary 24H2 builds, will use less than 30GB.

    Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone - happens on both clean installs and reinstalls

    With most of the computers I did not use a Microsoft account, but on those where I did, it didn't change anything.

    Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone - happens on both clean installs and reinstalls

    So, a few days ago 24H2 was officially released to the "Release Preview" channel. Since then I've updated about 85% of my computers to 24H2 and have begun using 24H2 for all new installs also. How many have had bitlocker enabled by default? ZERO It's pretty stunning how many in this thread...

    Intel CEO Doesn't See Arm-based Chips as Competition in the PC Sector

    Everything that was recently announced seems to have a singular focus on battery life. The AI performance figures quoted are actually not very impressive. My aging Dell business laptop with a Coffee Lake i7-9850H is likely already capable of more TOPS than these NPUs, courtesy of it's Quadro...

    Wife wants to play Diablo 4 but only has a HD 6850

    Does the game not run on the 6850? In my experience, Diablo 4 will run on almost anything. If it gives you an error message stopping you from launching the game, it's usually artificial and can be bypassed: Open the Diablo 4 game page on the Battle.net app. Choose ‘Game Settings’ from...

    Here's what happens if you connect Windows XP to the Internet in 2024

    I'm currently using an Arris SB8200, which is a bare DOCSIS 3.1 modem, because I'm using a SFF Dell with pfSense on it as my router, along with multiple dedicated WiFi access points. With many combo units, you can usually disable the integrated router/WiFi and use them as standalone modems also...

    Here's what happens if you connect Windows XP to the Internet in 2024

    No i'm not talking about Modem + Router combo units. I'm talking about standalone modems. If it has wifi, then it's certainly not a standalone modem. I'm talking about a Modem only, where you would end up with a public IP address on your computer's ethernet port, not a private IP address...

    Here's what happens if you connect Windows XP to the Internet in 2024

    I'm NOT advocating for the idea of running XP at all, but I'd still like to see comparison results from behind a simple consumer router. I mean really... no one buys a cablemodem or similar and plugs it directly into their PC with no router in-between. Or, on the flip side, see how newer...

    NVIDIA RTX Video HDR on new 551.23 drivers!

    Does anyone know of a way to get this working with VLC? Right now, I can't get it to work with VLC or the Plex app. The only way I can make it work is via Plex, viewing content using a browser instead of the actual Plex app. But at least that works. I'm particularly enjoying using it to...

    WTB Nothing. Components all purchased! Thank You All!

    4 matching sticks would be the best way to go. You could use 2 sticks, but it would drop down to only running in dual-channel and you would lose out on one of the biggest benefits of the X99 platform (quad-channel memory). Your motherboard has 8 slots though, so you don't necessarily need to...

    WTB Nothing. Components all purchased! Thank You All!

    I don't have any good leads on the GPU you are looking for, but you expressed your desire to max out your existing system, and I noticed you are running an X99-based system. I have several X99 systems that all started out life with 5820K CPUs. I've upgraded them all to using Xeon E5-1660 v3...

    Windows 10 Pro 22H2 ISO Download?

    OP, it sounds like you have bigger issues at play than just a lack of ability to create/download an ISO. But if you don't mind the slow speeds, you can try to download it from my personal webserver: http://gotnorice.com/Windows10_64_22H2.zip
