Power button no longer working

My Moto G Power's power button has stopped working. I can still wake the phone from sleep by waving it around a bit, but I'm afraid that if the phone gets turned off, the battery dies, or the battery is removed it won't be able to be turned on again. Is this something a repair shop can typically...

Question How is Minisforum?

I'd like to buy a mini PC with a Rembrandt processor, 64 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and Windows 11 preinstalled. I'm tempted by this one from Minisforum but I haven't heard of this company before. How are they? I'd get an Asus PN53 instead but I haven't found anywhere that sells it prebuilt with...

Question AVADirect and Asus PN53 mini PC

Dumb question: I've never installed Windows on a barebones PC before. Is there a process to getting the license? How would I know I've installed the software for all of the components? I know the GPU software is separate from the OS when adding a discrete graphics card. Is there any GPU software...

Question AVADirect and Asus PN53 mini PC

I'm interested in the Asus PN53 mini PC for its small form factor and its Rembrandt chip. It's barebones. I'd prefer someone else put it together for me and I see earlier models sold on AVADirect, who custom build PCs. I haven't bought from them before. What's your experience with them?

Question AMD Rembrandt/Zen 3+ APU Speculation and Discussion

Actually, I've been looking at the older models those, since I have those accessories. I might consider that when it comes out. Thanks for letting me know about this one that uses Rembrandt!

Question AMD Rembrandt/Zen 3+ APU Speculation and Discussion

I used a laptop as a desktop replacement a long time ago and didn't find it to be as comfortable to use as an actual desktop. I never used it as a laptop so I didn't get any use out of its battery. I bring my phone everywhere so I haven't found a need for a laptop anymore. I guess I've outed...

Question AMD Rembrandt/Zen 3+ APU Speculation and Discussion

Any news lately about when (or whether?) AMD will bring out the desktop version of Rembrandt? I've been holding off on buying a new desktop for it. Edit: The already-available chip I'm looking at is a Ryzen 5 5600G, which I would get in an All-In-One which would not get a discrete graphics card...

Discussion First contact with Ryzen 5600G... Wow!

If the 5600G is good enough for gamers, is it also good enough for miners? It would be frustrating for gamers to have a system-on-chip they're satisfied with only for miners to buy them all. Is the InWin Chopin case capable of S3 sleep? The Asrock DeskMini X300 is another small form factor PC...

Question Can Windows increase mouse rendering smoothness?

In Windows 10, mouse pointer movement and window dragging appear to be rendered at half of the monitor's refresh rate. I'd like it to render them at the full refresh rate. Is there a way to do that? Also, is it possible for Windows to render the mouse cursor and window dragging with motion blur...

Question What do M1 desktops do with small CPU cores?

The M1 chip has big and small CPU cores. In a battery powered device, the small cores are useful for extending battery life when the device isn't doing much, but what do they do in a desktop? Allow the device to be slightly thinner? Save a few pennies per year off the electric bill?

Thanks for the info! I should've mentioned that I'm not looking for an ice maker. We use ice cube trays.

Discussion fridge shopping

I'm going to buy a new refrigerator for my parents soon. It'll be a top freezer type with 20 to 22 cu ft of interior. The main complaint I'm reading in the reviews for some models is they're noisy. This concerns me because the fridge will go in the kitchen with a clear line of sight to the...

Death Stranding stutters with FreeSync

Death Stranding on Steam runs pretty smoothly without FreeSync but with FreeSync it stutters badly. Other games on this PC run smoothly with FreeSync. Hardware specs: Core i5-6400 2.7 GHz 16 GB DDR3 Radeon RX 480 8 GB 7200 RPM HDD Monitor: ViewSonic XG2402. 1920x1080, up to 144 Hz, set to 120...

Crysis remastered

Which API does the PC version use? I've read various reports of DX11, DX12 and Vulkan. I have an RX 480 so either DX12 or Vulkan will run more efficiently for me than DX11.
