Question Dictation software recommendation

Good day. I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to dictate my writing, as my hands are shot from so many years of computer use. Currently, I am using version 13 and because it doesn't play nice with Windows 11 or office 2019, I'm stuck on Windows 10 and office 2010. I would like to upgrade my...

Question AIO dying?

Houston, I may have a problem. Earlier today, I noticed that the fans in my PC were really roaring. This seemed odd because the PC was idle. I wasn't doing anything. I did have multiple clients of EverQuest running in the background but I wasn't playing, I was just sitting in a safe spot. I...

Question Is DC dying out?

I'd like to think I'm wrong but it looks like distributed computing is falling way out of favor. - The major DC page hasn't been updated in 3 years - Folding@Home has all but vanished - The World Community Grid page is broken ad out of date - Very little discussion here. Thoughts?

Question Utility to see disk consumption

I am looking for a tool to show what is taking up space on the hard drive I had a nice one but have since reinstalled Windows and lost it. For some reason hundreds of gigabytes have been consumed on my C: and I can't figure out why. TIA.

Question Allergins from my home built PC

This is an odd one. Over the last few week I’ve developed a nasty dry cough that I realized came only in my computer room. Today I tried turning off the PC. I shut it down, cranked a HEPA air filter and left the room for 2 hours. Came back, sat for 30 minutes with the PC off, no cough. Turned it...

Question AIO in long-term storage

Greetings. I recently upgraded my PC and put the old one in storage for stand-by use, in case something happens with the new main PC. But the now-stored PC has an AIO CPU cooler. So I'm wondering if it's a good idea to have an AIO in long-term storage. What if I don't need it for a year or...

Question One headset to rule them all

I use two wired headsets for multiple uses: the phone, Discord, Zoom, and Dragon NaturallySpeaking. That means a lot of wires and tangles. Can anyone recommend one wireless headset I can use with both my iPhone and PC?

Question Best audio card for music?

Hi all. I recently upgraded my PC and can no longer use my venerable Sound Blaster Audigy 2 due to a lack of PCI slots. The on-board audio is terrible to my ears. What's a good card for music? Sound Blaster Z? TIA.

Question Help me with an upgrade dilemma

It's been a few years since I built my PC and now I find myself torn. On the one hand, it works fine, I modified it with an AIO, engaged in cable management, upgraded here and there. The case is a big Cooler Master case and I have a smaller, nice new Phanteks P500A. My HDDs are both M.2 and one...
