    Newbie, first build" RAM frequency

    The Intel chips don't seem to benefit from a higher clock speed at all based on recent benchmarks so I wouldn't bother with the faster stuff. Ryzen on the other hand...

    Newbie here!

    Welcome to another biker! I hope you have a great stay. Greetings from the UK!

    What happened to CF

    Just had to comment! Finally figured out the accounts across the forums were merged by email address, so whilst my old name on CF isn't registered my Techist account contains all the content/posts etc... Reviving an old post but thought I'd check out my old community and its good to see the...

    Android devices are pish!

    Can't say I've had any of these issues with any low, medium or high end devices. (one exception being a really cheap Chinese built piece of crap tablet that had a screen that scratched like soft cheese) 4G is often many times faster than your home wireless or wired network. Especially in...

    How come Wikipedia has nearly every proxy blocked?

    Hi HG Fan, From a security perspective, Wikipedia want all updates to be trackable, at least to an extent. This is done by either logging the user IP address and their login name (if not a guest). A VPN means the user could be anyone, anywhere. If I were to logon to a VPN, "go rogue", and made...

    Random Chit Chat

    Humans have split atoms, that's all related to nuclear energy, I can't claim any sort of knowledge in that area though obviously... :D But yeah, would agree that the nuclear force within an atom is the strongest force we know. Heat might have something to do with it interestingly enough. I...

    Random Chit Chat

    Obviously I agree with the scientific concept that energy is never created or destroyed. In terms of death though... yeah, your body decomposes and probably contributes to the growth of plants, feeds a few worms etc...but the mind is like RAM, once those electrical impulses stop firing and...

    Random Chit Chat

    I find it tragic that someone can feel so aggrieved by life that they see no other choice than to take their own. Depression is a mental illness and a symptom of an unwell mind. Anyone experiencing any such symptoms should seek medical help.

    Larger companies seem to be more tolerant of mistakes if I'm honest. Global companies drag a lot of dead wood!

    This is interesting

    This looks like a poor attempt by HP to reduce the size of their desktop in this case! :D

    How to Screen Shots

    Snipping tool. Trust me, it's fantastic and well worth it if you only what part of the screen! I pin it to my taskbar at the bottom so it's easy to get to.

    Runaway Downloads on Home cable Network!

    I think you've hit the nail on the head with your plan to be honest. If your current router can't analyse the issue, then it's a good place to get a new one. This way at least you can get a bit more info about the device causing the issue. If you have MAC address filtering you could give that...

    Anyone interested in discussing the use of light in a processor?

    The video works fine and you can go to specific sections on my browser (Firefox), don't worry about it. It's an interesting concept, and one I'm sure that's being looked into. I'm no scientist, but I guess compared to silicon you have to consider: - Transmission speed of a single bit - Which...

    My new "phone" came in today

    Not entirely sure on exactly how it happens, but I've experienced rapid battery percentage drop and unexpected shutdowns in sub-zero temperatures on iPhones and other brands. The charge percentage on a mobile is calculated by the battery voltage, ergo, voltage drop!

    I think I'm being scammed out of $185

    Nice, seems a similar spec to mine aside from the battery! Mines the 32GB UK spec model with 4GB RAM, looks like you've got 64GB? Shouldn't fill that any time soon! https://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_p2-8319.php
