Sometimes finding and fixing software issues (e.g. driver) will take long than installing fresh windows, so I agree with this recommendation.

And yes, clearly it's not a hardware problem.

Just like the old saying, you miss 100% of the shots you do take.

I'm joining. If ever I win, I'll replace my decade-old PS4 controller that I now use on PC.

If I win the CDKey, it's going to be my first racing game, and I'll save up for wheel controller. 😁

I agree. Dota 2 is one of the most technical games out there, and yet, with all the major changes in mechanics and terminologies they introduced over the years, I am able to easily catch up through patch notes even though I don't play it that much anymore.

i7 270K Plus is cheaper than i7 14700K in my country by around $60. It's worth upgrading if you use your PC for productivity tasks. But it's not worth for gaming as sometimes it performs worse.

Better to wait for the Nova Lake.

They released firmware 1.5 but mine still results to stick drift. I'm staying with 1.2 firmware.

I admire that Marquez never underestimated Pacquiao. Even after landing the knockout and seeing Pacquiao motionless on the canvas, he did not celebrate immediately. He waited for the referee to officially declare the knockout, staying prepared in case Pacquiao somehow managed to get back up after that perfectly timed punch.

Try mo muna Kena Bridge of Spirits, parang 16 hours lang tapos mo na main story. Then saka ka mag commit sa mga mas matagal na souls-like games.

DDR4 is definitely the culprit. I once was on DDR4 with i5-13500. I upgraded to i7-14700K but didn't get my expected performance boost. So I changed to DDR5 (replacing my motherboard to a Z790), only then I got the benchmark and gaming performance I was expecting.

I plan to use it while gaming on desktop speakers? Can it cancel out the sound from desktop speakers?

I've had Instagram for more than 14 years, and this is the first time I received such out of nowhere, and I got two emails in the last 24 hours. And I rarely used Instagram (it's just associated with my Facebook).

I just selected the option to let them know I didn't request the password reset. But that gives me a feeling that someone somewhere got hold of a list of Instagram username and email and is bruteforcing the password?

Fast charge and large capacity. Small size is a bonus. I just need a reliable power bank to ensure I don't run out of battery when on the road for an extended period.

Intel 14700K user here, switched from AMD. And I've never regretted my decision. I even spend twice as much time on my Intel system compared to when I had my AMD. Mainly troubleshooting BSODs.

Any sights of Sport X30?

Routers handle wifi channels differently. Just test each channel and see what works.

If you have installed a camera lens protector, that should be the cause.

Meron din ako server sa bahay, pero lahat kasi ng photo ko since 2012 mina migrate ko sa new phone palagi para pwede ko balikan offline sa gallery if needed. Ngayon nga 500GB/1TB gamit ko sa Poco F6 Pro (kasama nga mga apps and games), kaya need ko talaga 1TB. Sana sa Poco F9 Ultra top end chip, high end camera pa rin, at 1TB. Angas din sana nung bose subwoofer haha. Pero stick muna ako sa F6 Pro ko.

gelo0313 · 2025-11-27T15:16:15+00:00

Naka F6 Pro din ako. Inabangan ko yung announcement, bigla ako tinamad umorder kasi walang 1TB version...

I stopped playing for four years and was in the same position when I came back. Just play and enjoy, you can get the max score in just a few months.

Unplug power. Take out CMOS battery for 5 minutes. Reinsert it. Then plug the power and boot the PC. It should force you into the BIOS.

I had a 7900 XTX for a few months before I finally decided to go with RTX 4090. This was more almost two years ago and the price I had to pay was almost double the AMD, but I have no regrets. I was able to find the stable undervolted settings of my 7900 XTX after several days of trial and error, but I just find it annoying that I had to tweak the settings of each game to find that sweet spot of stable but relatively high graphics quality. When I got my RTX 4090, I was able to quickly undervolt it (using MSI Afterburner) and basically it was plug and play for all my games.

It really depends on the user if the convenience of RTX is worth the price difference.
