    Controllers?

    Funny...I did get the Gamesir G7, but I can't get the hang of using it. I mainly have an issue with the RIGHT stick. I tried for several hours and finally just gave up. Maybe I don't have it configured correctly, but I found myself not moving it correctly in order to obtain the correct view...

    Controllers?

    Hi, I'm an old fart at 70 yrs old, and I've always used a mouse and keyboard. I'm currently playing God of War, but it feels like a controller may allow better and quicker response versus a mouse and keyboard from some of the video's I've seen a play through. So my question is: for those that...

    Power Supplies for an old PC

    Got the new power supply installed and I took the lid off the old power supply. It was an EVGA 750 model. After blowing out the dust, the caps still look pretty good. I could not get the connector off. They apparently applied some type of glue, so the only way to replace it would be cutting the...

    Advice plz: This ready to go? Mint 21.3 for 2011 era Asus z68 2600k 16GB ram new 500SSDs

    The reason you want 21.3 because you do not have UEFI in your BIOS since you mentioned 2011. I had an issue installing Mint 22.3 on a Dell Inspiron N7110 that was released in 2011. After installing Mint 22.3, it would not boot because it was expecting UEFI which this laptop does not have. So I...

    Can a Win10 install possibly survive a BIOS => uEFI change?

    Don't forget to look in your: c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp Last year, I had GIGS of temp files there. So now I check there at least once a month to delete what ever is there. I'm surprised the build in windows disk cleanup does not eve touch that folder for clean up.
