    Question Something wrong with my PC? Or all good?

    I swear (because I tested multiple times and even had a friend come and check I was not hallucinating), but I can literally hear something very faint (don't know from what or which component) coming from my open case PC that is sitting a few inches away from me, make a very faint "electronic"...

    Question GPU power in laptops

    As you all know, different laptops brands and models come with the same GPUs that run at different W. For example, one laptop can come with a 4060 at 95W and another one with a 4060 as well, but this time running at 110W. Is that gap something that I can tweak after the purchase with...

    Question Browser question

    Browsers have the ability as far as I know (not sure if it has a name), to remember pages you've browsed in each tab and keep those pages/searches stored in the tab in the form of the back button. Now, say you open a new tab, and search for 3 different things, once you're on the 3rd thing, you...

    Question What is the one or two things one should check immediately

    after purchasing and/or building their system to make sure everything is running according to specs? Hardware checks I mean... So, of course, in the case where one purchased a finished system or a laptop, I imagine confirming that your specs match what was advertised is a must, I sometimes...

    Question First time connecting laptop to TV and I have some massive artefacts

    I think you may be on to something with the idea that the TV is may be trying to run the same (weird and not common) resolution as the laptop. TV is 4K. How does one force 1080? Also, I didn't set any resolution on the TV (external monitor as you say). As soon as I connected the HDMI cable...

    Question May or may not be a stupid question

    Is a lint-free cloth the same thing as a microfiber cloth? I wanna clean my monitor but am unsure which one to go for. Not sure if they're the same thing or similar, and if one is better than the other. Thanks.

    Question First time connecting laptop to TV and I have some massive artefacts

    TV is the LG C2, so, there should be no problem handling most recent technologies. I actually got it because it supposedly is the closest thing to a monitor one can have. Laptop is a chromebook, Acer 516 GE brand-new 2022 model with 120hz panel and very good 12th gen i7 intel processor. So...
