Windows File Explorer Gurus - I need your help!

Sorry, I guess the question was a bit open ended. Just looking for suggestions to make it easier to work with, if there are people who have changed it from default. So far I've removed some clutter, still have a folder called "3D Objects" above my main drive, and many times I'll make a...

Windows File Explorer Gurus - I need your help!

I've been on Windows 10 for a long time now, and I just have yet to get comfortable with File Explorer. It seems like every aspect of its default setup is just terrible. Does anyone have an example of how they've made it work for them? Or some important settings to start with? It feels like...

Upgrading to gigabit router and AP, looking for advice

So the router and AP together are about $150, which is the same or less than a lot of the Linksys and Asus, etc, routers go for. Is there any reason you would get one of the WiFi routers, like an Asus? Simpler setup?

Upgrading to gigabit router and AP, looking for advice

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my router with a gigabit router. I think 10/100 is probably fine for my internet speed (100 down/ ~20 up) but I'd like to have more headroom for a NAS I'm planning to install and a steamlink. Wireless performance is not as important to me as I use ethernet, but my...

Benq BL3200PT 32" 2560x1440 monitor

Thanks for adding your thoughts on the monitor. I'm torn between this and the 27" Asus Swift monitor, although it is harder for me to justify the $800 just for the G-sync and high speed panel. I'm leaning toward the Asus because I'll be using this it for gaming, but $800 for a TN is a bit steep.

Benq BL3200PT 32" 2560x1440 monitor

Here's another review if you need a third opinion. The consensus seems to be that it is a good monitor with great contrast ratio. I was considering it but I'm hesitant because of its size and lag for gaming. https://pcmonitors.info/benq-bl3200pt/

TV for human beings | Ubuntu

Unity looks like it will make a gorgeous 10' UI, despite the fact that I don't like it for my desktop (yet. I need to give it more time perhaps). Now we've got boxee, apple TV, google TV and a few others all competing. Maybe Ubuntu is planning on making hardware? (I doubt it though)

Arch Obsession?

One interesting thing about Arch is that all the software is completely untouched and vanilla and not tailored to the distribution like many others. That makes it challenging but also more customizable I guess.

That "approx one hour" is not really accurate, it could be any time today. I checked at one point after it said "one hour" and it said "four hours." So basically, it should say "sometime within the next six hours."

Why download the patch when the full game comes out in an hour? Edit: looks like they changed it to 4 hours now. I imagine the developers are scrambling right now, getting one final patch before release.

Is sandy-bridge far more difficult to overclock than Core 2?

There used to be a sticky for overclocking C2Duo and Quad processors, but not for the newer processors (nehalem, sandy bridge). I looked around online for a guide like the one we had here for C2D, and it seems like overclocking is WAY more difficult. A ton more voltages to consider, making...

I realize I can't fit windows and apps on a 64GB SSD. I just know that the user files, such as app data, can tend to get pretty big when you have a lot of games installed. I know I can move program files but I'm afraid that the games will still dump app data in the users directory. With a full...
