Cyberpower units, though being great UPS units (I have 2 of them), are really confusing in terms of references. I think it depends on which country you buy them from, since the plugs need to be of that country. My 2 CP1500EPFCLCD units, for example are rebadged by a company called Nitram in...

That is indeed, IMO, the right way to do it. I've done this on a so-so 4G connectivity. Conf calls on voIP (teams). Works ok even in my place. Basically, I was doing this during work at home periods when the electricity company was doing planned maintenance and cut us out with no warning (pls...

Nice thread and good idea, here :) Yep, bought one webcam 1-2 years ago. Reputable shop in Switzerland. All marks were ticked on the box vs. my requirements. 200 CHF anyway. Never thought, as a french, I'd ever see counterfeit stuff in Switzerland. In France, yes, everywhere, but Switerland...

For the ax/hx i'd go with I model to be able to monitor consumption via USB, I remember it to be only 10 bucks more. I'd rule out titanium entirely due to being overpriced over what it brings.

Hmmm, I don't my Bose soundbar, nor and Samsung TV here. And for the PC, I know for sure the consumption, so itemizing every component is not gonna help me, sorry :)

Hi everyone ! Like is written in the subject, I'd like an advise for a top quality UPS. Details as follows: • Equipment protected: ◦ 1 gaming system, PSU is Corsair HXi850, used at 50% when folding
 ◦ 1 Bose soundbar (should be 80 W I think)
 ◦ 1 DVD player (80 W...

Very good tutorial. Spot on ! Can I suggest some more advice ? Don't tighten the mobo too strongly to the case. People often tend to bolt it too strong while there really is no need.

"By now everyone should understand the company's business model" Well, it's been years everyone with half a brain could have understood: - burning electricity/cooling + buying shittons of systems to run a free service doesn't constiture a valid business model (at least not one which is not...

9 is the new 7. 7 is the new 5. Move along, not much to see, here ....

Happy I don't need any CPU upgrade but only GPU ! I'll go 1080ti.

"The only thing Microsoft shared is that we can expect a Shared Clipboard tool, which enables you to share items across multiple devices, and a new version of the Notepad application." Wow, a new notepad ! Surely people will be all over the place with this ! ROFL

The naming scheme is confusing because it needs to show there are new products with more performance, whereas it's not at all the case. From 6th gen to 8th gen, it's mostly the same, and within 8th gen, they are iterating on X lake like crazy, but it's still the same ...

Low cost laptops ? Heck, any usable Macbook is 2kE, those days ! And with parts from 2015 ! I'd expect a low cost Macbook to have 2GB of RAM and an intel core-duo with a 500 GB hard drive ...

"Also if you have an issue on Windows you're going to some form of community support, either its Office support, Steam support, Nvidia support, they're all 'community' forums and I'll tell you right now that Microsoft doesn't have the best support staff either. I don't know anyone that has...

Good article. Also, on SteamOS, there is a grub boot entry called "Setup" that reboots in UEFI mode. Very handy as my PC indeed posts very fast ... There are also tools to force reboot in UEFI, depending on mobos OEM ...
