When Firefox recently disabled FVD Speeddial (which is essential to me) I had to back up to a prior version of FF and then I disabled automatic updates in FF setup. Now I'm getting an unacceptable level of 'nags' every time I open a webpage reminding me to Update - How can I turn these reminders...

Just picked up Tropico 6 + a few DLCs as part of a Bundle, but the sale also included extra full copies of Tropico's 3-5 (already had) that I can 'Gift to a Friend'. Tropico 3: Gold Edition + Tropico 4 Collector's Bundle + Tropico 5 - Complete Edition $10 for all three (via Paypal) OBO

I recently had a corrupted Win10 update and got ticked off enough to wipe/reinstall windows. White tiles are just games that haven't been relaunched since on the Steam games drive. Utilities on left, then the columns of the wife's games, then my 'usual' games, then other games on the right...

I bought a key last fall for a system upgrade and now I can't find it :/ Pay via Paypal only /where did all of the SW key threads here go? There used to be dozens

Ok, we admit it... we're just about the last people left in this country without a cell phone! Our AT&T landline service is getting increasingly intolerable. The bill gets higher and the service (and sound quality) gets worse. Our line goes dead or crackly after every rainstorm, and despite...

Currently using a Logitec G203 and it's alright (good hand feel) but I'm starting to find the cable a bit irritating. I'm considering the Corsair Harpoon but I'm a little concerned about the two side buttons. The trouble with most 'gaming' mice for me is that my big thumbs are always hitting a...

My Corsair HS50's have broken beyond the point of re-re-repair (plastic headband connects to headsets are stupid fragile) :/ Looking ideally for something in the $50-70 range. I'd have bit the bullet and ordered a HS70 from the Corsair Refurb site, but they're showing sold out atm. All things...

I've been using Campaign Cartographer and various add-ons since the 1990's DOS versions and ProFantasy just loaded a big bundle of their software for charity on Humble Bundle. I bought the full top Bundle as it had 5-6 things in the package that I didn't already have (or want to pay full price...

Win10's new big update? Firefox?? Thought I had it fixed by manually re-dl'ing MS updates + reinstalling Firefox... but still getting sudden crashes /running out of ideas

I just bought an open box at MicroCenter ($339) but it didn't come with anything else other than the box. I've already dl'd the latest Adrenalin 20.1.4 drivers and Gigabyte Horus Engine - any other software that I should have had with this?

I bought a 5700 XT today and it still came with this: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /edit - Spoken for I still have the 'Free Game' thing from AMD for my sister's RX 570 for her work pc - anybody want <edit> Borderlands 3 <edit> for $20? /need to find the link with code //think this deal expires soon

Post'em if you've got them. /looking for a 2-in-1 cheap laptop/tablet & a gaming video card

New build for my sister to replace a 10 year-old Dell. She runs strictly MS Office 2010 and Photoshop - zero gaming. The 2700X is golden for heavy multitasking, but the 6-core 3600 might perform just as well for her. Both are nearly identical in price right now - so for NON-GAMING, what wins...

Building a new system for my sister to work on. Mostly MS Office/Photoshop - zero gaming. Searching NewEgg GPUs between $100-150 only got two hits - both RX 470/480 cards. Decent cards - but maybe slightly overkill? Any better suggestions? /Ryzen 2700X or 3600 system //has decent Samsung...

My sister needs a brand new PC for office productivity and likes Dell. I think (nearly positive) I should just build her one instead... The Inspiron 5676 does feature a very acceptable Ryzen 2700X processor, but their specifications say nothing about the quality of the MB. Some older comments...

Well, I suppose since most thermostats have wifi now, they sort of count as gadgets... lol I need a programmable thermostat recommendation. But... must use 4-wire connection only - NO C-Wire! One box simple DIY solution - no 'watch this YouTube' to make brand X work I don't need the wifi...

My six year-old Toshiba i5 laptop has died and MicroCenter can't get a replacement power supply for it, so I really need a portable replacement. I bought my wife a HP Pro X2 612 G1 12.5" Tablet PC - Core i5 (4302Y) 1.6GHz Dual Core - 256GB SSD - 8GB RAM - WiFi - FHD Touchscreen - Windows 10 Pro...

I'm thinking about a side mounted 360mm radiator strictly for a GPU w/c loop and I'm a bit concerned about available space for adding 6 120mm fans to it. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on these push/pull fan options, one way or the other? slim fans on a regular thickness radiator...

I already have a Corsair H115i 240mm rad handling my cpu cooling (quite decently) and since I'm not doing any major component upgrades this year (except GPU) I really don't want to get too carried away and start reinventing the wheel. I'm thinking about perhaps replacing my RX 580 with either a...

Early days still... But has anyone heard any rumors about better quad-channel memory support? For Ryzen 1000/2000 series, anything above dual wasn't optimal - is this still the case? /optimally, would like to add another pair of 8GB TridentZ's to my next upgrade plans

I'm not doing any system upgrades until next year, but I'm starting to think ahead a bit. I love my Air 540... but it's starting to show it's age. I know in theory that it has been semi-replaced by the 570X series, but those don't have quite the same air flow and are just a little too tall to...

Newegg promotions (sale ends Wednesday) Folks lately here have been bemoaning that NewEgg didn't seem to sell these anymore... The BEST/MOST RELIABLE HDD's available... but almost sold out now :/ I have probably bought eight of these over the years for work/home - and ought to buy 1-2 more just...

My old Technics RP-HT116's have died and I need a new pair to plug into my Cyber Acoustics CA-3810 Computer Speakers. I don't voice chat/TeamSpeak, so no microphone wanted - this is just to play games, music and YouTube at night on the computer without disturbing the wife. Must have plain...

Seeing a few threads lately about various cheap 500/1000gb SSD's, I was wondering if any vendor had created an external Raid enclosure for stacking 6-10 SSD's together in a single virtual array? That (eventually) might be a way to retire an older (but big) HDD... or would the external link lose...

Fanatical is showing a 15% discount pre-launch sale price on Farming Simulator 19 and I'm wondering how the deal works out of buying a Steam Key from them, then activating on Steam. Also, since I've never bought from these guys, how legit is Fanatical? If there's even a 5% chance that their...

Most titles 50% off, which is Ok... Most DLC's (far, far too many) mostly 30% How many DLC's does EU4 have now? Over 100?? /was hoping to pick up all of the Stellaris DLC's... but still not cheap enough :/

I've got a stupid TV, so I have to sneakernet most things via my DVD/Bluray player... so I end up with stacks of loose discs everywhere. I've got an old copy of Meritline EZ Label Lite that I've been using, and it works, but doesn't have much in the way of features. Is there anything...

[Not even remotely Warm, at least for me :( ] 'Up To' 50% Coupon Code: TREASUREHUNT...

Has anyone seen any discount promo codes lately for Corsair's Refurb site? They had a great discount code for the Memorial Day weekend... and nothing since then, as far as I can tell. Was hoping to buy a few more things (with a discount) over Labor Day, or later this fall. Post if anyone...

Ok, it's a hot summer and the a/c in my computer room sucks (another issue)... My Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ LE is running temps on average of 45c on idle (MS Office/Firefox), gaming at 74c with peaks at 80c. Fan is peaking at only around 60%, so that suggests that I really shouldn't be too...

MUST be no more than 25-1/2" wide (physical measurement) to fit inside my desk hutch. I suppose that would be about 27" corner-to-corner FreeSync a must. Cost is a slight issue. Probably smarter to go 4k, but only running a RX 580 right now until Navi Use is 80% office stuff + 20% gaming...

Sorry if this the wrong place for this, but it seems pertinent... I've been selling on eBay for just over twenty years now (not tech stuff) and it seems that nearly every year eBay does something to make the buyer/seller relationship worse - and increasingly dysfunctional. Small sellers always...

I just got hit with the latest big Win10 update last week... and since then, Win10 has gone insane about login security! I don't WANT to have to type in a login password every time I boot up or the system goes out of hibernation! Before, you used to be able to bypass this - either by...

Seems like half of my wishlist is on sale :/ Left 4 Dead for $1.99 is probably a no-thinker Maybe Bioshock Remastered for $6.59 too /still need to replace GPU before I can go too 'modern', even at 1080p

NewEgg Shell Shocker Early Access Deal! 24 Hours Only! Get at USD $209.99 w/ promo code EMCSPVER3, limited offer And... of course... already out of stock :( I tried to pounce on this the minute I got their email Mods delete this... has expired and zero comments

Hoping AMD drops some new GPU's on us late this summer, but I sort of need something soon-ish to replace a GTX 960. It's still working fine, but it's now absolutely the weakest link in my new system. I think (not 100% sure) that the 570 handles 2k just fine - but unfortunately it's selling for...
