So I was using a data recovery tool "TestDisk" and I think I did something wrong, I used option for not being able to find a drive or something But anyway ever since that 2 days ago when I restart my PC, over half the time my D drive in disk management just states "new volume" and I assign D...

So I am in the market for a new 4k TV and watch A LOT of older TV that I assume is just like 480P. Looks pretty good What I DO NOT want is a TV that messes with it a lot, will keep it original like my DVD's look So do I need to pay close attention to "smoothing" and "upscaling" on RTINGS...

My basic 50" LG VA panel finally got a black screen after 6 years So in the market for another basic LED that is good, not great. I noticed my parents 65" IPS LG is amazing at angled but upon closer inspection dark scenes are VERY hard to make out and blacks are not good So after a few days...

It is a 55" LG UK6090PUA LED TV. Have used it about 6 years, probably 5-6 hours a day on average and never had one issue Yesterday we turned it on, noticed the screen was darker than normal but we could barely make out the picture. Turned the TV off for an hour then once we turned it back on...

TY I edited the post but expected this, I apologize

We use an ATT cellular hot spot for internet, if I were to get another hot spot, would that change our IP address? We could use another anyway, our Netgear Nighthawk is 4 years old

So I decided to start over, this time formatted the drive to "exfat" and it is working fine on the PC. Transferring everything back onto to it now. I cannot use it on the TV now but that is cool, it can just be back up only Any reason it works fine now using exfat?

It checks out, nothing corrupt and just cannot figure it out. I have 7 other WD externals I use on the TV, PC, etc but they are all "elements" and not "By Book" external HD;s I did format the drive a few days ago and I am using it as back up for some important files and now I am very worried...

I would be getting a 5800x3D more than likely as well

I built my first gaming PC in December of 2019, a 2070 Super + Ryzen 5 3600 It has been great and still is! I play mostly games from 2020 and before and honestly much, much older than this I do not like new games, I see none on the horizon that really tempt me but DO WANT to play Elden Ring...

It is a WD Elements 20 TB It will have all my video that I stream, very prized stuff, for me at least I have read about some using "badblock" but honestly all my 2-5 TB drives I have had for 12 years I always did a quick format

Thanks! So to get this drive to work, or at least recover, should I look for a board with the exact same number? I cannot at the moment. I found one with the same number except the last 3 are different So to use my other controller board that I purchased to fix my other drive, I would have to...

OK, had the same issue 3 years ago, bought a new controller board that pretty much matched the number on the old PCB that had the broken pin, and the HD gets used almost daily. Same issue, same HD except this one is 5 TB, old was 4 TB, and not it shows unrecognizable when I use my powered...

Thanks I just do not get how the 1080 cards have held value like they have, yet the 2070 Super will be $300 next year. Kind of upsetting Will have to wait becasue no way would I get a 3080 now when I know a super or something else will more than likely be out in May or June, am I wrong?

Ok my first build in April, got me a 2070 Super 8Gb, white, love it. Got a deal only $500 So my first question is this. Is it worth selling if I can get $500 for it, and getting the RTX 3080? What about the inevitable supers, TI, or whatever coming next year I assume. Also, how much...
