    Is the flash storage of an iphone recoverable?

    Okay so question I got from someone today. He did NOT have icloud setup, and he deleted some files from his iphone (No idea which model), and at the time he was angry, so he deleted it from the "Recently deleted" area as well. He's wondering if it's possible to recover those files at all?

    CPU questions and upgrade advice

    So, I recently learned about my system being bottlenecked by my CPU. My ultimate goal, is to be able to play games, on max settings, at 1080p, with no less than 60 fps. With that in mind, I have been looking at upgrading my system, based on Intel's i5 7600k, which caught my eye due to it's...

    Cpu and gpu fan spinning but pc won't turn on

    Just as a general rule of thumb, make sure all connections are properly secured, and by that I mean the main power connectors. The 24-pin power cable, the GPU connectors, etc. Does your motherboard have any other LED's? Mine for example, has an LED for each system (GPU, CPU, RAM) and it will...

    Friends PC won't launch some games

    Sorry I forgot to add some of those details. We're downloading these games MOSTLY from steam, and some of them (Such as dreadnought) from the developers website (greybox in the case of dreadnought). Speaking of steam, we have gone as far as to Validate the games, and everything said it was...

    Friends PC won't launch some games

    So, to not be long winded, I'll just give the main points. I always have friends that want their PC's checked, because in my area, I'm like "the PC guy" because I'm the only one around that has built a PC, and understands the basics of PC's (though I am not an expert, I basically just know a...

    Graphics noob, question about my GTX 1060 6GB

    Thanks Dan_97, I was thinking the same thing, as I have seen people with worse CPU's play games, yes at lower settings, but still decent. I definitely wish to upgrade now, but my major question is, how are the Ryzen CPU's? That is a very obtainable upgrade to do for my PC, as I'd only need...

    Graphics noob, question about my GTX 1060 6GB

    Hmm well that sucks, as I'm slightly limited on budget, but it's to be expected, as my PC was a budget build to begin with. In the mean time, I should be better off with games that are gpu focused right? At least better off. Also, one of my last questions is, since my CPU is bottlenecking, it...

    Graphics noob, question about my GTX 1060 6GB

    Thank you all for the helpful answers, I was aware of course bottlenecks, and I know my CPU isn't the best by any means. However I'm wondering, is it bottlenecking my system that badly? It is basically running at 4Ghz during gaming (I have the Asus turbo running, and HWmonitor shows 4Ghz speeds...

    Graphics noob, question about my GTX 1060 6GB

    Okay, so first off, I want to say, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to graphics. Settings especially. I know a few things, I know the basics, let's put it that way. I'm also a fiend for graphics. My ultimate goal, is to be able to play my favorite games, on max settings, and get 60 fps...

    PC makes very strange noise, and freezes

    Okay, so I was helping a friend of mine with this PC problem he was having with this older PC he got from someone. He got it for free, and the guy he got it from says he used it to play WoW, so my friend figured "Hey, it plays wow, and it's free, sounds good" I'm only asking about it, because...
