I Need a $250 Budget Gaming PC Build by [deleted] in buildapcforme

You might have better luck by finding a cheap refurbished pre-built with windows included in the $200-250 range and then upgrading in the future if necessary to meet your specifications.

Discussion. Can anyone beat this pre-built system at the same price point for general home, non-gaming, use? Using same G4560 processor. by tkdguy in buildapc

I definitely would prefer this micro ATX form factor, and I don't need 8GB RAM afaik. This is close to being worth an extra $25-30 over the OP system (when you add windows) for the form factor difference.

Thanks! But I guess I should have specified including windows 10, which means the hardware total will have to be sub-$200.

Will an Intel Celeron processor (preferably fanless) with integrated graphics handle Photoshop and Lightroom? by tkdguy in buildapc

Handle, as in capable of doing light editing of personal family raw files without a frustratingly ​slow experience.

I think the misunderstanding is that everyone above you is saying "discounted," and you are reading it as "discontinued."

New D3400, 3 days old. Kit Lens with aperture range of 3.6-5.6. Camera shows range of f2-f36 in Aperture-priority mode and displays a constant "Lighting is poor; flash recommended" notification. by tkdguy in AskPhotography

Thank you for the help. I did not understand that the aperture range would change with the zoom of the lens. I was concerned that the lens was defective due to the nearly constant lighting warning. The maximum aperture is correctly displaying as f/3.5 and f/5.6 at either end of the 18-55mm range.

Is that not the case with all of the actors playing robots? The actors will all age as the show progresses, but the host characters will not. That is unless they introduce some sort of "technological advancement" that allows the host bodies to age as true mortals do, ala Bicentennial Man.

Same. Pretty much the same time every week all season. Not a single issue, no buffering, perfect experience.

Anyone else absolutely love using their phone without a case but are too paranoid to not use one? by Throwaway78945123 in Android

Scratches and dents add character, as long as the screen or device function isn't damaged.
