    What are you playing?

    A lot of people are apparently playing Fallout games again, but I like to punish myself so I'm playing Fallout 4 from the start again and ... god it's so dumb. The mind boggles at the mind that can craft such madness.

    Should the CDPR make the Fallout 5 instead?

    Obsidian should make Fallout 5. Also:

    What phone you use as your daily driver? And, a discussion of them.

    Anyone with a Pixel 8 who wants to share some thoughts on the camera?

    Outer Worlds getting boring

    It requires the right mindset for sure. If you go in expecting deep stories and charachters in a deep world you'll be dissapointed. This is basically pulp sci-fi, and as such I think it's a great success. It's not deep or meaningful, and that is fine because it isn't trying to be. Personally I...

    Starfield discussion thread

    Finished the game and So new game+ or whatever it's called, here I come! I except the Varuuun or whatever they're called will be part of a DLC, I would have liked to see more of them, they were interesting. Honestly I've never played a Bethesda game (and honestly very few other games of this...

    Time to update the motherboards layout!

    Absolutely no exhausts on the top please, that's where things drop into the case.

    Looking for Gpu update (Old PC)

    The purchase is done, but for the record the 2060 is still a decent card TBH. Played Horizon Zero Dawn at 4K on it, and some Cyberpunk 2077. For budget gaming the 2060 is a decent choice, and it doesn't use a whole ton of power. Used mine on a cheap 400W PSU (with a Ryzen 2600x) without problems.

    AC Power Stops Charging When High CPU/GPU Usage

    So you've tried a new charger? Then it's almost a guarantee it's the battery/battery circuits.

    3D Printer Club

    So anyway today I realized you can preview 3D files in the Windows 10 file manager. Hyper useful!

    Windows 10 Security Updates to Cost $61 After 2025, $427 by 2028

    Sure, but my Dell E6430 from 2012 doesn't, and it's still a very capable laptop.

    Windows 10 Security Updates to Cost $61 After 2025, $427 by 2028

    Harder to upgrade on laptops.

    TechPowerUp Hiring: Reviewers Wanted for Motherboards, Laptops, Gaming Handhelds and Prebuilt Desktops

    Windows 10 Security Updates to Cost $61 After 2025, $427 by 2028

    I am neutral to Windows 11 (not using it), but what is really annoying is what they are doing with the frankly silly "official" requirements. A computer from 2012 is still plenty powerful for everyday use (browsing, office stuff, light games), but not for Windows 11. I get that at some point you...

    A sub 200€ laptop in the eu market? Used is fine

    So you recommend 8th gen Intel Core CPU's and then you link to a post explaining how a major brand screwed up from that point onwards, meaning finding decent models of that era is so much more difficult. Add to this argument the major slide in build quality between that era and say the Haswell...

    A sub 200€ laptop in the eu market? Used is fine

    I like the Dell Latitudes of the olden days. Something like a E6440 should be pretty cheap, the one in my signature was like €80 (HDD bay missing, but I had one I laying around).
