    Question Wireless keyboard/mouse combo recommendation

    I took a look at several keyboards and I am leaning towards the Logitech MX Keys, which seems to be generally regarded as the best one around. Any experiences with it? I also read in another forum that the Logitech MK470 provides a very similar experience to the MX Keys. It lacks some of the...

    Question Wireless keyboard/mouse combo recommendation

    Thanks. I may try that. I have tried putting the receiver in different USB connections, either 3.0 and 3.1, and it did not work. Perhaps I give it a last try. As for chattering, I may try that as well. My mechanical keyboard is pretty new and already chattering, which is not a good sign. I...

    Choosing between two laptops

    Thank you for the advice. I ended up going with the LG Gram 17, as I found it for sale. It is a great laptop, and I think I like its build better than the Dell XPS. By the way, I already have a desktop. This laptop will be my companion for traveling. I had other laptops with smaller screens...

    Question Wireless keyboard/mouse combo recommendation

    I have a PC desktop and I would ideally have a decent keyboard/mouse wireless combo to use it. I was using a Razer Blackwidow Chroma v2 with green switches as my keyboard, together with a Razer mouse. This "combo" was good, but it had its issues. The mechanical keyboard is satisfying to type...

    Choosing between two laptops

    I am thinking of buying a new laptop and I am in doubt between two models. I live in Brazil, and prices here are astonishingly high. In addition, there is no wide availability like in the U.S. so I cannot simply choose model "X" instead of the two mentioned below. It is basically the two of...

    Question 1440p or 2160p monitor for integrated video card?

    I currently use a 32-inch monitor with a 3840x2160 resolution with my desktop, equipped with a Core i7-9700, an RTX 2070 video card and 32 GB RAM. I also use a 27-inch monitor with a 2560x1440 resolution to go along with an HP ProDesk 400 G3 Mini, with a 2.7 GHz Core i5-7500T, an integrated...

    Why 80s and 90s classic point-and-click adventures were not released for video game consoles?

    One thing that I cannot help noticing is that, with a few exceptions, the classic Lucas Arts and Sierra point-and-click adventures (of late 80s and early 90s) were never released for the main video game platforms. NES had two versions of Maniac Mansion (both released in 1988). The original...

    Games like Thimbleweed Park

    I have just finished playing Thimbleweed Park, the latest adventure by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. I decided to play this game more than three years after it was released, and I really enjoyed it, much more than most recent adventures. I would like recommendations of similar games. I decided...

    MC68000 @ 7.6 MHz compared to 65c816 @ 3.58MHz

    Back to the main topic of this thread, I found this page (https://gamicus.gamepedia.com/Instructions_per_second) which brings a chronological list of processors and how they performed relative to each other. The measures are in MIPS and MFLOPS. MIPS (million instructions per second) is now...

    MC68000 @ 7.6 MHz compared to 65c816 @ 3.58MHz

    Yes, I suppose the CD-i lacked games. Yes, you are right, Quake and Quake II were both available for the N64. I never played any of them, though.

    MC68000 @ 7.6 MHz compared to 65c816 @ 3.58MHz

    Wow, you are probably the first person I know that actually had a CD-i. Was it any good? And there were those games as well. Myst was quite the thing back then, some 6 million copies sold. And then there was Rebel Assault, Return to Zork, Full Throttle, Quake, Diablo, and other games which...

    MC68000 @ 7.6 MHz compared to 65c816 @ 3.58MHz

    Well, the Playstation launched in Japan on December 3, 1994, and the N64 on June 23, 1996. So, while they were about a year apart in the U.S., they were separated by one year and a half in the Japan. The Sega Saturn was released even earlier, on November 22, 1994, in Japan, and on July 8, 1995...

    MC68000 @ 7.6 MHz compared to 65c816 @ 3.58MHz

    I agree with you that the add-ons to the Genesis were a mistake. The Sega CD was released in December 1991 in Japan (as the Mega CD), followed by an October 1992 launch in the U.S. The device was expensive, and users had to pay an additional $299 on top what whatever they had disbursed to buy a...

    MC68000 @ 7.6 MHz compared to 65c816 @ 3.58MHz

    The Sega SVP was clearly a superior chip to the Super FX (and also the Super FX 2). Virtua Racing for the Genesis was very nice, and more impressive than Stunt Race FX, which was released for the SNES the same year. The problem, however, is that the SVP, being so powerful, was very expensive...

    MC68000 @ 7.6 MHz compared to 65c816 @ 3.58MHz

    Sega had some pretty aggressive commercials back then. Remembers me of the early 90s. I noticed, however, that Sega avoids putting SNES and Genesis games side-by-side. Perhaps it was because the superior color palette of the SNES might be more impressive than the superior speed of the Genesis.

    MC68000 @ 7.6 MHz compared to 65c816 @ 3.58MHz

    The SNES co-processors were something, and the add-on chips indeed made up for some of its shortcuts. Unfortunately, the add-on chips were used in few games only. I only played Doom for PC, so I cannot tell how good it was on the SNES or the 32X or any other platform. I guess the PC version is...

    MC68000 @ 7.6 MHz compared to 65c816 @ 3.58MHz

    Sega CD had its own 68000 at 12.5 MHz, so games benefitted from the extra speed. In addition, a CD could hold about 650 Megabytes, while Genesis/SNES games were usually limited to 4 Megabytes (32 Megabits) ROM cartridges, with a few exceptions which held more data, but did not come close to the...

    MC68000 @ 7.6 MHz compared to 65c816 @ 3.58MHz

    This thread is a little old, but here is my shot, based on what I read in other sources (as I am not an expert in these matters). The Genesis, released in 1988 in Japan as "Mega Drive", uses a Motorola 68000 at 7.6 MHz, paired with a Zilog Z80 at 3.58 MHz. It was an adaptation of Sega System 16...

    Question Docking station and swollen battery

    I have a Dell WD15 docking station (180W) which I bought back in 2016. I used it with my Dell XPS 15 to connect via Thunderbolt, but then the laptop got a swollen battery which had to be replaced. I am not sure what was the cause of the swollen battery. Thinking it could be the docking station...

    Question Recommendation for search desktop software?

    I tried Agent Ransack and the problem is that it does not have any indexing functionality. For the time being, I am using DocFetcher, which is free, and a trial version of DT Search, which is good, although expensive. And I also found a very specific piece of software aimed at academic use...

    Question Recommendation for search desktop software?

    Thanks. I already tried this, but the problem is that Adobe Reader does not index the files, and, due to this, these searches take some time. In addition, Adobe Reader does not show results according to relevance, which is something important to me (as some terms may be present in hundreds or...

    Question Recommendation for search desktop software?

    Thanks. According to the description of Everything (https://www.voidtools.com/faq/), it is good to find files and folders, but it does not index the content of the files (although it searches for this content, but this is slow). Do you have experience in searching within the text inside PDF files?

    Question Recommendation for search desktop software?

    I am in search of software to search specific content inside files on my computer. I have a library with 1,000+ books and articles in PDF format, and I would like a decent search engine to perform quick searches of specific content and display the results according to relevance. As this is a...

    Samsung NU7100 freezes

    I have just bought a TV, a 65-inch Samsung NU7100. The image and sound are fine, but I am running into some issues. I am only using Netflix, Amazon TV Prime and HBO Go, and I have not installed any additional app. The TV runs fine for a few minutes, and then suddenly starts freezing, and does...

    New phone with good battery life

    The One Plus cannot be found for sale here in Brazil. Plus, the Brazilian communication agency will block the use of all mobile phones whose models it did not certify for use in Brazil. So, even if I buy one abroad, there is the risk of not being able to use it.

    New phone with good battery life

    I bought a battery pack (the only model which fit the S8) which died two weeks later. And it was very inconvenient to use. The battery was never good for my kind of use, always very disappointing. And Samsung will charge me some USD 350 for changing both the screen and the battery.

    Buying a new TV

    New phone with good battery life

    I am in search of a new phone, to be my second one and companion to my iPhone X. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S8 which fits that role, and, after some two years of usage, the touch screen is just terrible and the battery life is awful. Prior to this one, I had a Moto Z Play, which was...

    Question Whats your CPU upgrade history? Performance improvements gaps between upgrades?

    My next CPU upgrade will be in about two years, at the same time of my expected GPU upgrade. I hope the environment will be very different from what it is today after the release of 3rd gen Ryzen.

    Question Whats your CPU upgrade history? Performance improvements gaps between upgrades?

    Apple vs. The World

    Exactly. The ecosystem idea is great but it does not work in real life. I want to choose what the market offers me, and not what I “must” buy to be tied to a brand. If Dell or Lenovo or whatever is offering better laptops, why should I buy a MacBook? I am only attached to my personal feeling...

    Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    These rumors are just great. if they hold out to be true, then AMD is pushing yet another improvement in core count in processors. This of course pushes apps to use more threads. And this also means that Intel's 10th gen of Core processors will have more cores as well.

    Apple vs. The World

    I do not bother with this sort of stuff anymore. I do not buy into "ecosystems" or any other artificial attempt of a company to lock me in inside its own set of products. I have an iPhone X which works far better for me than my Samsung Galaxy S8, not even a contest. As for computers, although...

    Do you use Waze? (POLL)

    I use Waze daily. I only use Google Maps for walking, but rarely to drive. Everybody uses Waze here in Brazil. It is currently the 10th most downloaded free app in the AppStore (the #1 being WhatsApp). Google Maps is the 14th.

    New desktop computer

    Yes, the flickering was just when the 1440p was connected. But now both are connected, and I see no fickering at all. I doubt a 4K and a 1440p monitor would be too much for an RTX 2070 to handle. Even an integrated video card supports with a 4K monitor these days.
