If you are dead set against building your own then don't. But here are some advantages to building your own. You will probably save a lot of money. And you will know the brand and quality of the individual components in your computer (the system builders do not specify what brand/model video...

Thank you!

No..thanks for replying but I may not have explained this well. I believe Firefox had "send as link as email" a long time ago.... 1) you are on a webpage (could be this one you are looking at right now) 2) you right click and select "send this link" (or if no right click send as link is there...

They are already talking about the upcoming MS Flight Sim 2024 having ridiculous requirements to run with all the goodies maxed. Don't even think about maxing it until the next upgrade a few years from now. All we can do is drool for now. I'm right with you-about to take the Flight Sim dive...

I just want on click on an extension to open my Gmail and have the web address in the body of Gmail's compose email. I found a couple extensions called "email this page" that sound exactly like what I want. The problem is Firefox says the extensions want to "access your data for...

I'd wait. The ad-blockers and Google are playing cat and mouse. Google changes Chrome, then UBlock Origin and Ad-Aware have to counter...ad infimum. I love my Opera browser, but eventually we will all be using Firefox to block ads (which is ironic since FireFox is subsidized mostly by Google)...

I have a 3060 and RDR2 runs great. I don't know about the Megaman game, but with my Ryzen 7 5800x and a 3060, RDR2 runs great Don't get bogged down in benchmarks, it is the real world world experience that counts. Sorry I can't help you with the cpu, but with my setup and can tell you the 3060...

Exactly. Kits are sold to "almost" guarantee the sticks will work together. Just get the same timing, capacity and speed and it will probably work.

I just asked chatgtp: No, you cannot upload a song to iTunes in low quality and then download it at a higher quality. When you upload a song to iTunes, the quality of the file is determined by the original file you upload. If you upload a low-quality file, it will remain low quality on iTunes...

I'm sure someone will correct me if they know for a fact,but I don't think Apple is physically converting most songs. They simply identify it (very easy even 20 years ago) and send you a higher quality copy they have stored. That is a much faster and efficient method. (Of course a song they...

I was never an Apple guy, but I think with Apple's music service you could upload a low rez music file and download it in a higher quality version. Do they still do this? I have a lot of mp3s I ripped from albums and cassettes. Of course the bitrate was low and there was hiss and pops, so I'd...

Steve Gibson (an extremely respected computer guy) is the creator of Spinrite. Although I have never had the need to use it, it is suppose to be a top notch data recovery program. www.grc.com

Thanks for the response, but I don't think I explained it correctly. I don't want to have to select the seek bar or volume bar. I want the left and right keyboard arrows to always control the seek bar and up/down arrows to always control the volume.

On YouTube, I want the left arrow on my keyboard to jump the video back and the right arrow on my keyboard to jump the video forward. I want the up arrow to turn up the volume and down arrow to turn the volume down. But the keyboard arrow controls seem to be dependent on where the last focus...

Update! It works!! I found an L shaped Logitech USB receiver that works. It has a USB wire and an old school green keyboard connector for the keyboard port in the back of the computer. It says "Logitech" and "connect" with a push button...not "SecureConnect" like the keyboard says, just...
