The solution to all these database breaches is simple. You have to make it a serious issue in the United States or America. I find it outrageous that companies that have leaked my info usually send a letter saying sorry, do better next time, should feel secure they didn't get you entire credit...

When will companies stop their own preferred standards and get it together to where, especially with laptops/notebooks/tablets, that by having the same standard across all companies they would sell many more laptops as people wouldn't have to worry about proprietary connections. I would be...

In another year or two you will have to choose between buying a new car or a complete computer. Asus released two fully decked out boards and are asking for over $1,000 (USD) for them. If these companies are trying to kill off individual users owning their products and of course both gaming...

I just remembered the old adage never to accept windows drivers from windows update. So that is one reason I am surprised people aren't cursing windows drivers from windows update. So I guess in Windows 10, drivers obtained from Microsoft Update are now reliable?

I didn't know this was OCD. As mentioned first time motherboard parts (except maybe 2 it mis-identified ) were seen correctly by Windows, that is mostly why I wanted to know use asus, intel or windows update (as the word has always been do not use microsoft drivers, period).

The problem is that Intel has drivers that fix issues in their releases, Asus drivers they stopped updating a long time ago. Not OCD, just experienced what can happen if you ignore your drivers when setting up your computer. However since I prefer to have somewhat more updated drivers than...

I am one of those who want the most current valid drivers for your system. Yes there is just as many problems with older drivers as their are with the most current. However when you use some software and you have issues you are asked to have up to date drivers. Even Intel said my graphic card...

I have an Asus z270 Tuf Mark 1. I installed windows 10 on it and forgot not to allow Windows to install its drivers. That isn't a concern due to how I need to get rid of them. The problem I am having is figuring out just whose drivers to use. 1) Intel, Asus, Microsoft, Realtek, Asmedia and...

It shows you for all the "security" and "great features" this was a dud on release. Maybe if they didn't spend so much time on trying to prevent some older Intel CPU's from working and focusing on finding you lacking on any hardware category it made a requirement (I think collusion with...

You need to go into the settings and tell it not to search for updated drivers through the windows update process. Here is a link to a Tom's Hardware solution https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-stop-automatic-driver-updates-windows ' Hope that helps.

Remember, power on count represents the number of times it has been powered on (meaning turning it on) and I don't know if it counts low power to full speed is counted in a power on count. Power on Hours represents how long the drive has been in use. So a zero is what you really want for a...

Honestly it is a matter of who has the largest market share. Those who find way to attack/hack/etec will focus on the hardware/software that is the most used in the tech sector. Remember apples commericals where it talked about how they weren't affected by the kind of viruses/malware etc of...

I use my #QNAP TS-032X and #RunWithIronWolf so I can have our entire family and all the branches to have a family storage center where everything about all members of our family from future, to current to past can be upload (documents like ancestry records and immigration from Europe and other...

I just ran firefox which did one update, says profile is being changed, I saved like it said, then 20 minutes later restarted says updating again and this time all of my data (passwords, history, bookmarks) are gone. DO NOT USE FIREFOX at this time.

One simple fix would be Microsoft go back to the beginning of the Windows Code and see how they can bring it up to date, shorten it or even eliminate it. There is despite comments to the contrary, 3.1, xp, vista, 7 and 8 in some of the code. Microsoft has at times dependent upon some of the...
