So one of my co-workers asked me for computer help this morning. I haven't built / ran an Intel build in years so didn't really have any idea what to do. He currently has an Aorus Z390 (I think with a 9900k, but not sure) and tried to install Win11. Then basically everything went sideways. He...

I just talked to my corporate phone guy this afternoon and he said pre-orders were open now. Flip 3 comes in 128gb or 256gb = $400/500 through corporate (IIRC, not 100% sure) Fold 3 comes in up to 512gb (can't remember the lower options) = $1150 through corporate but the interesting thing is he...

So I was thinking of switching my ISP a few days ago and started looking around. Apparently cable internet can now hit 1gb/s to1.3gb/s nowadays. FIOS also has been offering Gigabit service as well. From a technical standpoint - are there any benefits to one type of gigabit internet vs the...

So I understand the basic differences between POP and IMAP emails but this question got me stumped. Here's the question I was asked - so he got a new device and upon setting up the email on said device, it downloaded all of his emails and now when he logs into his webmail or other devices - his...

Hey guys, So I'm trying to improve the airflow on my HTPC. It's in a Corsair Carbide Air 540 case which has 2x 3.5" HD drives in the bottom of the case with these plastic brackets. I have switched to SSDs all mounted in the rear wiring compartment and no longer need the two drives on the...

So my office tossed out a Dell 5110 color laser when they upgraded. Not thinking much about it, I took it home, hooked it up to my simple home network and began using it. Here's the strange part. I've had it for a few months - since about January - on my network setup. No other users but me -...

NOTE: Running latest bios As per the title, is anyone running 2x PCIE4 m.2 SSDs on an x570 mobo? So my main gaming rig (in sig) is using an Asrock Taichi x570. If I use one m.2 PCIE4 ssd (doesn't matter which slot, I've swapped in and out all 3 of them), it works without issue. If I stick...

Hi all, I'm just curious if anyone has found a FTP program with a dark mode. These new monitors especially with HDR are super bright and I'm using more and more dark mode things to compensate. Anyone have any ideas / suggestions? Can be for Mac or PC, though PC is preferred. TIA!

I need some [H] advice on a possible new display, guys / gals. I haven't been following the news, so I'm way out of the loop on what's fresh. For reference - I've had the following monitors 40" 4K @60hz (No name Korean eBay special) 49" 3840x1080 ultrawide 144hz (Monoprice Darkmoon something...

So I've been getting conflicting info on Google on how Applecare warranty works. I'm currently in the US now but maybe in a year or so will be moving overseas (probably to Thailand). Since I'm not normally an Apple guy, I've never had to use / worry about this before (for PCs, I am the tech...

So it's close to annual bonus $$$ time and I'm thinking of giving my 3090 a new display. I'll totally have to rearrange my setup for the LG CX but OLED is just hard to beat for visuals. At the same time the G9 has vertical space that I love for spread sheets, even though it's LCD and not OLED...

I know there are some issues with vertical mounts running only PCIE 3 and not 4 but other than that, anyone run into any issues? Thanks!

For next year, I'm thinking of upgrading the monitor on my main rig to an OLED. I love my few years old LG E7 65" in my living room, so figured I'd look into bumping up my gaming setup, especially given that the new panels can run 120hz over HDMI 2.1. Ideally, I'd like something in the 40" or so...

I still have a bit in my account but given how hot the stock market is, I'm thinking of cashing out (maybe partially) and jumping in for some short term gains. I already have stocks in my portfolio so it's more of shifting of things around than trying something new. What about you guys?

So I haven't had a vpn since PIA got bought out by foreign owners. With that in mind, I've been searching for a replacement that is not owned by a foreign country - whether it's China / India or other. While reviews suggest the same names as always, though PIA seems to have dropped off some of...

With all of this telework and related craziness, I wanted to see what everyone's office / company is using - webex, join.me, zoom, skype, ms teams, other? Let me know! Thanks!

So I was thinking of trying out the new edition Samsung Watch 4G - but I've gotten conflicting info from people I've talked to - including the corporate AT&T sales guy vs the in store AT&T guy. What I'm trying to find out is if I can (with added fee) share the same phone number as my current...

So I'm putting another build together and I currently have the 3x LL120 in my current rig but when I was looking around for parts, I see they also have ML (magnetic levitation), LL (what I currently have) and QL (the newest latest but not sure what QL actually means). Anyone have any idea? I...

So I had the crazy idea to load Win Server 16 essential onto my backup rig / old gaming rig, primarily to learn more about it and networking in general (since IRL I'm not an IT guy) but ran into issues with the built in NIC not being detected or supported out of the box (it's an intel i211AT I...

Not much detail yet but it's likely not to have the Geralt character as the lead. So maybe Ciri or (keeping my fingers crossed) a roll your own player PC?

Outside of OEM and aftermarket air coolers, I've only ever used some Corsair AIOs. The Corsairs would have fans that plugged into the cooler. Nice and easy. On my latest build I used an Alphacool Eisbaer 360 - plugged the CPU fans into the CPU fan 4 pin on the mobo (and plugged the CPU pump...

How has your experience been? Worth it? Sticking with it or going back to the goop?

Anyone do it yet? I'm about to do the 3900x transplant this Wednesday evening (updated to the latest bios 3.43) but wanted to see if there were any gotchas I should take care of before hand. LMK! Thanks in advance!

So my Note 8 (on AT&T) is starting to have charging issues, making me think of using my upgrade credit at work. While I could just go to a Note 9 or S10+ given how expensive the newer phones are, I'm thinking of just making the jump to a 5G compatible model to stave off obsolescence - even if...

So I was watching some youtube videos and saw the channel creators PCs that had their video cards mounted fan side "up." I had never seen this type of vertical mount before and now that I have, me wants! For those that don't know either it looks like this pic (sample from google) Does...

Not sure how many of you guys have to deal with foreign languages / fonts but I get emails and occasionally they show up looking like gibberish. As far as I can tell, the original sender is sending it in a Unicode font but something is messing up along the way to my inbox. I've tried changing...

I didn't see anything about this yet. Thought it was a cool, random thing while web surfing the news. https://www.techspot.com/news/78447-double-height-ddr4-offers-twice-capacity-but-fraction.html

I use a the 4 corners plus a few extra where needed method but curious what other people do?

So I'm migrating from a 5930K setup to a 2700x+Asrock Taichi x470 setup and for the life of me I can't figure out how to move my 2 raid arrays. Using Windows and /or Intel RST I had a 4x SSD RAID0 and a 2x HD RAID1 - both were setup and worked without problems. Setting up my HD array (2x 3TB...

I got an email from CBS and was meaning to post it but totally slipped my mind. Enroll by 12/26/2018 - code DECEMBER for 1 free month. Though it looks like the CBS website has a promo running right now without a coupon code needed as well. I figured someone might want to try it and binge some...

So I can get an old server from my office to putt around / learn on but I think the thing (Dell PowerXYZ 2600) ran on SB Server 2003 and it's only going to come with the hardware, no docs or drives. I know 2003 is way out of date but if licensing it was free / cheap, I'd give it a shot. Could...

Warm? Not sure how good the WD Black m.2 drives are but I'll give them a shot at this price and this level of claimed performance. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6ZP7FS6170&Description=wd%201tb%20nvme&cm_re=wd_1tb_nvme-_-20-250-099-_-Product I'm in for 2 to try some m.2...

Hey guys, So one of my colleagues was trying to record a meeting and did record a file but apparently their phone was next to their notebook / papers and there's the sound of paper rustling that's louder than the sound of the people talking (drowning it out). The original file is in AAC (from a...

IYO (In Your Opinion) - I am curious what website people on [H] consider "good looking." Have you come across a website that just popped or was just very functional or well organized? The topic doesn't matter. Tech, photography, news - this is more of an aesthetics questions than...

So I'm running 155-180Mb internet service at the moment but my ISP has options up to a "Gigabit" and that got me wondering. For those of you that are already running really fast / absurdly fast internet, what exactly are you using it for / doing with it? At 155Mb / 30 up downloading from Steam...

I don't see a thread for this but I got an email saying I was accepted into the beta test for this. I just wanted to see if anyone else has tried this yet? I've got the full game on my home machine (bought copy) but it seems to run on my office 4790 rig via stream (With I think Nvidia 760...

I'm looking for a cheap / free way to share files with my folks / family overseas. I normally use Onedrive (I'm running the Office 365 1TB package) and Google Drive (Free version) - but I don't want to tie the files to my personal accounts in case something happens to me / them. Also the reason...
