    Should I let AMD software have access to my location? I need your advice. My first instinct aft reading their useage is it's a bunch of garbage designed to have you give them your personal information??? Suggestions???? Is there any real benefit to the software?

    Best software to display high definition video on a high quality screen. UltraGear™ OLED (48GQ900) 4K (3840 x 2160) UHD 120Hz 0.1ms G-SYNC® Compatible

    Hi Thanks to DD, and a 400 dollar discount, I now have an OLED monitor. What is the best software for displaying UHD movies? Been using VLC, but I thought support stopped in 2022?? Thanks GS

    Thanks. Just ordered one. There is a considerable difference in data transfer compared to the 9S+. Also needed new software, since VLC doesn't seem to see the 512G MicroSD card.

    Maybe not. I can connect by Bluetooth to the car, but only for phone calls. Might just keep the old phone to play music, by cable.

    Thanks. Looks like next phone is S20 something. Can't find if the S20Ultra has the audio out jack. 6.9" screen, and microsd card slot. 12 gb ram. Price ok. Does anyone have a suggestion for someone who used 22 gb of data last month? A plan that works, but is cheapest possible? 2 phones. Thanks

    Kind of wonder what made folks buy the Samsung 22 Ultra? Compared to Samsung 9S+? I like improvements in RAM, like up to 12GB. Getting old, so larger screen is nice.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Hmmmm. So, for 500, you have a card that only supports Raid on the machine it's in? Near 99.9% of the current boxes don't have room, a place, or adequate cooling. Hence why I'm still using a 20 year old Antec 183. The going suggestion for SATA backup was an external NAS, but how do you connect...

    Apparently the guy that did the analysis said it depends when you catch the CTS, and have the operation makes a difference in the effectiveness of the operation. The longer you wait, the more of a chance the surgery is less effective.

    My EKG is a little weird, prior to the first surgery. Last time that meant heart surgery, and a stint put in. If that happens again, it will be at least another year before the CTS surgery, since I will be on blood thinners after the heart surgery, for a year.

    With chips that now require huge coolers, how do you cool a laptop, and what do you look at? MY CF-53v4 got flooded on, so the 16 gig is gone.

    I will. MY CTS is along far enough so a lot of the time, I can't feel the end of my fingers. Left hand is the worst. With Cherry Reds, I catch a lot of 3 and 4 keys by accident.

    Went back to my model M from the Cherry Reds. The Donuts made bad worse. When you can barely feel the keys, having very light keys leads to a lot of mistakes, like hitting 3 and 4 key. What switches are closest to buckling spring, but a little smoother?
