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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

What doesn't work exactly?

I went down this same road with my 6 monitors. The bottom line is, you CANNOT have multiple Nvidia drivers installed on the same system at the same time, period. This even applies if your secondary card is a Quadro (it will work but only if both cards are generationally compatible with the...

I can't see any reason to encrypt your drive using bitlocker unless you keep sensitive information on your hard drive and are worried about someone physically stealing your computer. In something like an office or a medical facility it would make sense, since presumably there would be sensitive...

For certain business systems, there is a setting in the UEFI/BIOS which will trigger the automatic bitlocker encryption on a new install. Presumably the rufus option is to force bitlocker to remain disabled even on these systems. But for everyone else that isn't using a Business HP/Dell or...

And that would make a lot of sense. Makers of certain business-oriented computers who are targeting certain customers; I could absolutely see them making the decision to turn this on by default. Bitlocker is a great feature for those who have a true need for it. But this article is clearly...

This article has more holes than Swiss cheese. First of all, it starts out with the amazing statement: WTF are they talking about? 23H2 has been out for quite some time now. I've done countless installs of 23H2 at this point, everything from fresh installs, in-place upgrades, upgrades via...
