I'm sure you don't like VAT, either...;) Those of us in the US agree with you...;)

Inevitable move, as US production is infinitely more stable politically than the Taiwan situation, and therefore very desirable. Ideally, we have both sources, but no one knows what's next in China. She mentions the ultra importance of the supply chain situation, too, as the US is also working...

Interesting. As this article mentions that the OS runs well on AMD CPUs, as well, I wonder if the OS isn't serving Intel CPU sales as originally envisioned. These days, Intel is just trying to keep its head above water. Hardware companies traditionally shy away from OS development, though, as...

What's the warranty? That's the question--is it a 90-day OEM warranty or 1-3 year regular warranty that covers drive replacement? Or is it a U-B warranty, as You break it, you own it...;) Warranty will divulge a lot about how these are being made. Also, using Windows long HDD format option...

I call this class of software, junkware...;) It reminds me of the old days when you'd buy a system, and it would come with about 120 CD-ROM disks in a portfolio with all kinds of cruddy, bad software and several "demos" of then-popular software supposed to whet your appetite to buy the real...

I know...;) If I went that route, I'd buy something a lot more powerful than a 10x-20x standard magnifying glass--like the system Der8auer set up for the purpose. I was going to provide a link to der8auer's recent video that I saw, but I can't find it, now--out of all the multitude of videos...

I wish someone would come up with a handy device for repairing bent AM5/Intel CPU pins in their motherboard sockets! The pins are extremely fragile and too easy to bend accidentally.

So far, no laws are being violated, and this is of course just another thinly veiled attack on Musk by the sad people who thought he was wonderful until he revealed his personal political preferences. Used to be in the country that we all respected each other even though we may disagree...

Should be entitled: Montech XR Case with wood accents, I think...;)

Run this command from an elevated prompt to uninstall it. In my build of Win11 26100.3909, Recall showed up nowhere in my system so since it wasn't in any place it was supposed to be, I thought it had not been installed. But with the following command obtained from Microsoft direct, I decided...

Read an article awhile back in which TSMC stated that AMD would be their first 2nm customer, evidently the EPYC Venice CPU mentioned in the article here. Interesting stuff--progress is being made at breakneck speeds!

Good news...;) The Trump administration has exempted all computer chips, computers, and associated electronics from tariffs. Thought you guys would like to know if you haven't already seen it.

This might be of interest, I installed 26100. 3775 Win11 Pro this morning and it, too, contains the Inetpub directory. However, it contains six (6) subdirectories that each contain files. So it looks like Microsoft, at least, knows what the folder is for and is planning on making use of it in...

Don't know if you guys have heard the latest from Taiwan, yet, but it's good news: Taiwan has adopted the Trump Zero-tariffs deal, which is we don't put tariffs on their computer products, and they've agreed to drop their tariffs on American-made products. So looks as if there won't be any...

Keep in mind that although it was "reported" during Trump's first term that Trump tariffs had raised the selling prices, what was not reported was that the products from Taiwan were exempted from those tariffs. Lisa Su was asked in an interview how much the tariffs affected her selling prices...
