    Two years after launch Windows 11 adoption is still waaaay behind Windows 10

    Perhaps you are right, perhaps not. I personally have not yet seen edge force it's way back to a pdf viewer mode. However, I work in a plant with a corporate network so that is probably why. We use Teams, on drive and Office 365 and it mostly just works. At home, my Win11 computer is working well.

    Global sales of XBox are so bad developers wonder if supporting the console is worth it for them

    People are seriously reaching. The person in that picture, assuming it is actually a female, has some good feminine features.

    Ubisoft's The Crew is shutting down 31st March 2024 and will be unplayable after that because it is online only.

    I have uninstalled the game but, does anyone know how to remove it from my Library permanently?

    Damn, I got that as a free game, never played it and now it is to late, oh well. Guess I will free up some disk space now. :)

    Would you ever go back to LCD after experiencing OLED?

    I just bought this monitor a week ago for $1070 and so far, I love it. I do notice the lower PPI somewhat but, when I ran Doom 2016 on it, I was literally blown away, because the 800r curve makes all the difference in the world. Perhaps if I had bought the LG Flex over the LG C2 42 inch, I would...

    Global sales of XBox are so bad developers wonder if supporting the console is worth it for them

    Combined with every other what monthly subscription? Oh, and calling it a luxury means what exactly? After all, with what they provide, I can actually do things, be active with people, enjoy playing games and stimulate my mind, if I want. All the other subs would mostly have me vegetating and...

    Global sales of XBox are so bad developers wonder if supporting the console is worth it for them

    $17 a month is incredibly inexpensive, especially when you consider the fact that you get EA Play as well, as well as being able to play on your PC and XBox. Considering it is the only subscription I have, I am good with it.

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Yep, otherwise, after he sets the screen to a 21:9 aspect ratio, he will get black bars all around.

    Global sales of XBox are so bad developers wonder if supporting the console is worth it for them

    I am speaking specifically of One X enhanced games, since the S will only run One S versions, out of the box.

    Global sales of XBox are so bad developers wonder if supporting the console is worth it for them

    Ah shit, and I was enjoying the fact that my XBox Game Pass Ultimate and XBox Series X was good to go. If she manages to single handedly kill the XBox, I will be pissed.

    Global sales of XBox are so bad developers wonder if supporting the console is worth it for them

    Considering that the Gamepass Ultimate is only$17 a month, which is the same or cheaper than most streaming services, I think the pricing is just fine. Being able to play all those games on the Series S, without having to buy the game, it is big boon for users. As for the Series S being weaker...

    Windows activation after CPU upgrade - originally used OEM license / product key

    My keys have been working correctly but, I also never gave any keys out, they are exclusively mine and no one elses.

    Windows activation after CPU upgrade - originally used OEM license / product key

    Probably OEM, since it was a Windows 7 Pro key from the Technet subscription I had back in 2012 or so.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    You could be right but, I am looking at it more towards Nvidia just looking to make the money, not caring about the user. (That is fine, I just do not see Nvidia not trying to push the envelope on prices.)
  16. ManofGod

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    Then the 5080 will be the same price as the existing 4090, with the same performance to boot. (Just my opinion.)

    Windows activation after CPU upgrade - originally used OEM license / product key

    Make sure you are logged into your Microsoft account and use the troubleshoot selection. Through that process, it should get your Windows activated again. I know it did not work for me immediately, when I updated my bios on my Asus X570 board last October. However, eventually, it worked.

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Yeah, I should have started with the LG Flex 42 but it was more than I wanted to spend. I also purchased the LG 45 Ultragear at $1070 3 days ago and that made it worth it.

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    That would mean all the 21:9 monitors are not correct but, close enough. However, the PPI of the LG monitor is something you will not notice, unless you are sitting on top of it. I sit back from it and at first, I was concerned I would not like the text sharpness but, I actually do not notice. I...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Oh yeah, I was thinking of the CORSAIR XENEON FLEX 45WQHD240, you are right.

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    If I am understanding correctly, the LG Flex is simply a flexible version of the LG 45 Ultragear, which has a permanent 800R curve. (It is what I have.) If the C2 were curved, I would have kept it but, for me, a flat 42 inch unit was too large, overall, since I am 5ft 7 inches tall and...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    The thing is, it is not stretched at all, it is a proper 21:9 resolution. Also, it actually looks fantastic on the desktop and in games. You just have to make sure not to sit on top of it. 😊

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    If the 42 inch had a 1000R or more curve, I would have kept it. However, it appears that the LG 45 inch Ultrawide OLED monitor is better suited for my needs.

    Interesting but, for the games I play, I have never seen an FSR 2 / 2.1 / 2.2 screen look that bad.

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    Some snap versions of programs are just as fast as their apt and flatpak versions. However, many snap version programs are not even close, such as Steam.

    HP wants more of your money

    The only subscription I have is XBox Game pass Ultimate, that is it. I also live minimalist and in regards to a printer, I have an HP Laser printer that has worked for years and with the original toner cartridge.

    Or just buy a laser printer and have zero concerns about your ink drying up or expiring.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    $2500 is not a hobby price whatsoever, that is a price for a professional level card that makes you money. The reality is, Nv has decided to take their pro pricing and slap on a gamer nameplate.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    I know this much, I was upgrading for almost 30 years straight but, with prices being what they are and performance not all that much better than previous years, I no longer bother, at all. I have a 6800XT and nothing out there would make me enjoy using my computer more at all but, perhaps in...

    What, you are the videocard hangs out at the real driving range all the time? :D

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    What you do actually gets you out and enjoy real functional things. An expensive video card is not going to do that, ever.

    Microsoft set to announce DirectX DirectSR (Super Resolution) at GDC 2024

    You are right about the launch, which was a disastrous shame. I loved the Kinect 2 and the multitasking of the original interface but, they screwed the pooch on both instances and let them both die off. Having voice control was great and is what we have on our iPhones, as a regular thing, 10...

    Apple to make the App Store less intuitive with more prompts to level the playing field, accidently rolls it out ahead of ruling.

    Personally, I would prefer things remain as they are. As long as the things I use are secure, easy to use and have been properly vetted, I am content. It is a phone, not a computer, I do very specific things on it during the day and otherwise, as long as I am home not using it, except on the...

    Apple to make the App Store less intuitive with more prompts to level the playing field, accidently rolls it out ahead of ruling.

    Perhaps you are right but, for me, I have an iPhone and that is what I use it for and at least for me, it is not my computer. Now, I am sure Gabe from Steam would definitely want it but, that is because he wants the money. :) In the meantime, I would just as well play the XBox Streaming games...

    Apple to make the App Store less intuitive with more prompts to level the playing field, accidently rolls it out ahead of ruling.

    I like the fact that I can search for what I need, hit download, press the right button twice and I am done. Yes, the EU can sometimes have better consumer protection that the USA but that does not mean I want BS in my daily usage.

    Windows 11 24H2 to enforce HW requirement

    And clearly, it already knows how to make insults better than you. :D Good for you but, Cinebench is actually quite representative of overall performance and although I am sure the X5675's are good, outlasting cpu's you claim to have owned before and after does not really say all that much...
