    What is your Internet speed?

    I'm excited for when we finally have wholsale rates of fibre to the home on 3rd party... Telus is starting to charge me a lot more money than I want to spend (seems my bill goes up $5 every 4-6 months)

    malware can now infect and hide on your UEFI BIOS memory

    Wait, you mean that all these times I've been in my UEFI bios I could have been using my mouse?

    malware can now infect and hide on your UEFI BIOS memory

    Who knows, but this problem has been around at least 2 years that malware can find its way on to your bios.

    Ultrawide Recommendations

    With your budget, I'd say no, just buy it... you might want to get some kind of 2nd warranty/guarantee from where you buy it as Gigabyte doesn't have good customer support imo. Check youtube/google for a good VESA mount, some pretty solid top results in the search.

    Ultrawide Recommendations

    I would highly suggest making sure you get a decent VRR monitor. Obviously getting a gsync module guarantees a certain level of performance, but with a little research you can also get freesync monitors that perform just as well. This is something worth reading up on your monitor of choice to...

    COVID! Round...what is it now? 3? 4? 5?

    No you didn't. Headlines are still misleading as hell quite often and especially because too many media sites are in the business of generating clicks for revenue and journalistic integrity and scientific understanding by journalists is not where it should be. Both are valid concerns.

    COVID! Round...what is it now? 3? 4? 5?

    That's the problem with listening to headlines and media without having any understanding of the situation or how science works. What you're hearing is very early speculation drawn from a small sample size with a bunch of specific scenarios. So the guy at the WHO says "yeah, based on initial...

    Windows rearranging themselves multi monitor (lack of) support?

    So far so good after disabling the sleep mode on my monitor, but since the problem doesn't happen every time I walk away from my computer I can't confirm yet that I'm in the clear.

    Windows rearranging themselves multi monitor (lack of) support?

    Hmmm maybe it is a DP thing. I'm using 1xDP and 1x HDMI and the DP has a built in energy saving mode where the monitor puts itself to sleep. I'll turn off the power saving mode and see if that changes anything.

    Windows rearranging themselves multi monitor (lack of) support?

    Anything I can do other than looking for a 3rd party program to fix this problem? I always had a small issue with my side monitor windows moving themselves, but after doing a fresh install of windows 10 and installing the AMD power plan settings now I have all the windows resized as well! This...

    A Place for Streamers

    Just set up your OBS, and hit stream. Nobody will watch you. At the beginning chances are 0 that someone will randomly watch your channel. You can also practice by talking out loud to yourself when you're playing but not streaming.

    A Place for Streamers

    Nice, congrats! I say it's never too early to think about the business side of things. Not saying you need to promote the crap out of it, but at the very least you could just have a button/link on your twitch page where people can donate/tip if they want to and it won't be invasive. I will...

    A Place for Streamers

    What are your thoughts on https://ko-fi.com/ vs just setting up a paypal donate? Although ko-fi is trying to after the patron market place, it's definitely quite a bit different as the general idea is "people just randomly give you money" without creating the culture and community of "give me...

    Getting started mining; Eth vs BTC,

    Any advice on setting up nicehash on a 3070 right now? I have spent the last 6 months hearing people say you can't lose money mining on a 30 series and wouldn't mind using this winter weather as an excuse to make $5 while my computer is sitting idle. Do I need to look up information on...

    What am I doing wrong?

    So you didn't even tell us what your temperatures are... water temperature doesn't really matter and give us any indication of if your loop is cooling components better or worse. End of the day, the best thing for a loop is to pull cold air in from the outside of the case. If you only had a...

    A VERY Different ITX Case - Teenage Engineering computer-1

    I kind of like the idea of a "assemble it yourself" PC case and the environmental benefits of shipping a product like this. That said, I just can't see this being useful if the price is going to continue to be this high and they don't even do small touches like getting the threaded holes for...

    Any real diff between these two SSDs?

    I hate how marketing has realized that all SSD perform the same at low queue depth so they market a high queue depth to "show" how one drive is better than another (but ignoring the fact that it doesn't matter to gamers).

    Where are all the OLED gaming monitors?

    https://www.pcworld.com/article/549438/where-are-all-the-oled-monitors-why-the-best-displays-arent-on-the-pc.html This piece seemed to have some good points that might be why we are seeing so much in the TV space but not for monitors.
