    Moto G100, what is the difference between the XT2125 and XT2125-4?

    My Moto X(1) was the best phone I ever had (followed by iphone and two samsung galaxies). By far. Is Motorola still great in that way? Where: everything makes sense the first time and doesn't require years of wrestling to get the phone to stop doing stupid things?

    Strange price spike on older Samsung EVO microSD cards

    Can anyone explain this? Why is the price of Samsung's older (green) MicroSD cards 5x the price of newer (blue) cards? What don't I know? Maybe the old one is TLC and the new one QLC? It's not just amazon, I'm seeing this all over.

    How do graphics adapters order multiple displays??

    Ugh... why are people not listening to me? I *know* that can be done in windows, but I want the *adapter* to configure the monitors the way I need, because I have two such docking stations.

    How do graphics adapters order multiple displays??

    Be that as it may, I have two such docking stations and don't want to reconfigure the monitors in windows every time I change docks. My question is about what logic the graphics adapter uses to pick displays so I can avoid this problem (in windows and otherwise).

    How do graphics adapters order multiple displays??

    I'm running into weird display ordering. Can someone explain what this thing wants from me? I have an old dell laptop, two 2x monitor setups, and identical dell docking stations. The existing one is wired 2x DP->DVI, and output 1 is always the left, primary display. I set up a second dock...

    What was that AMD? Did you say Samsung is announcing an 8k Ultrawide?

    not sure it's a step forward so much as a price increase. i'd get a G9+ but trying to find a decent kvm that fully supports it is hard just at 5k / 120

    What's the deal with Honeywell PTM-7950 paste? Scam / Legit?

    I've been seeing posts about Honeywell PTM-7950 (or -7958) phase-change thermal paste, mainly on reddit. They say it's the bees' knees, and also only available from one website in china with questionable reputation. I see no mention of it on [H]. If it is what they say, its performance...

    What idle wattage should I expect from a new system?

    I'd like an actual case, I have a handful of drives to plug in. I've considered just using usb3 and samba from my dd-wrt router, but I don't like the drives not being secure and actively cooled. So what do I look for to insure super low power consumption? There's no ratings for mobos and...

    What idle wattage should I expect from a new system?

    In my long experience with computers, all desktops seem to settle at around 60watts at idle. Has this changed? I'm trying to build a new file server from newer old parts and am surprised that like the previous two, they also idle at 60-ish watts. So if I were to get a totally new...

    Alternative P2V option for VMWare

    Macrium reflect backup can mount its backups as hyper-v or virtualbox, fwiw. It greatly simplifies p2v. I'm guessing you can clone that VM to a file structure that can be mounted into vmware if that's what you want.

    Can you mine with a cell phone

    Yeah, i can relate to it as a hobby. It was kind of diverting and addictive.

    Can you mine with a cell phone

    So it would take a little under 2 years to recoup the investment. I don't understand why you'd want to do this.
