Which streaming devices do NOT leave pairing mode on 24/7?

I guess this question matches this forum best... Tried asking on Amazon, and the answers don't understand the question, and Amazon won't even let me reply to them, which inspires great confidence. Tried asking Amazon and Roku, and they clearly didn't understand the question either. The first...

Question Is Switch (and Vita and 3/DS) a brick when the battery fails?

What really sucks is it's possible to at least design these things right where it still works even with a dead or missing battery. PSP is proof of that! The PS3 controller and I think PS4 also are proof of that. It's not acceptable in phones and tablets (and even some laptops now!) either...

Question Is Switch (and Vita and 3/DS) a brick when the battery fails?

UGH. I assume Switch Lite is the same way? I'm surprised this hasn't gotten any real coverage. Intellectually I think this means I need to stop buying Switch games, even though I love portables and otherwise like the system. Naturally I didn't really start thinking of this seriously until...

Question Is Switch (and Vita and 3/DS) a brick when the battery fails?

I like portables, and like a good chunk of Nintendo games, and my present circumstances make me think focusing on portables would be smart... But I'm more concerned than ever that maybe I should quit buying anything for these as maybe they just stop working when the battery dies. I can't find...

Win 10 Fall Creators (1709) is On.

Anyone else feel like Fall Creator's Update is really shockingly buggy? I like the GPU in the Task Manager...that's awesome, but stuff I've noticed that's screwed up includes: -switching back to windows, they're frequently "blacked out" for a few moments. I've NEVER seen Windows behave like...

Any issues with copying a Starcraft II (or other Blizzard) install?

That's awesome... okay, so you can still "uninstall" it like through "Programs and Features" too, even after you've copied it and let it set itself up? I'll feel a lot better using my own Internet connection for these gigantic patches than someone else's LOL

Any issues with copying a Starcraft II (or other Blizzard) install?

To be clear, I'm not trying to do anything illegal, I own the game, but I've got a crazy 4GB+ "patch" it's trying to download over a connection I shouldn't abuse like that. I'd like to download it at home on a home PC, then copy it to my PC I'll actually play it on. The Battlenet client has...

Apple September 9th event

The one thing I was looking forward to was the iPad Pro, which I'm shocked to learn actually is CALLED the iPad Pro. I was really hoping for something like the Surface Pro 3, though I didn't expect it. Baring that I really wanted something that at least had USB, for a variety of reasons...

How much RAM and CPU do I need?

Be aware with that that it's not a 'real' A8, it's their Atom competitor, not a Bulldozer derivative. I'd think for sure a Bulldozer derivative would be just fine for that kind of stuff (and maybe that chip...) Personally I think RAM's so cheap that 8GB isn't hard to have, and it sounds like...

Best 24 Inch IPS Monitor For Gaming? Anything Better Than This?

Interesting...thanks! Do you think the Ultrasharps are bad? I hadn't looked at the HP monitors lately but maybe I should. Don't care about price, if it's $600 even that's fine. Wish it was like the old days where I'd just check a few models out from Sony and buy one in the size I...

Best 24 Inch IPS Monitor For Gaming? Anything Better Than This?

I guess I'll post here as I've got basically the same question... Looking for a 24 or 27" monitor that's as high quality as possible that also works for gaming. i.e. great viewing angles/image quality, hopefully no ghosting or "reverse ghosting", etc. Prefer NOT having TN, although honestly...

Falcon? Maingear? What's a good prebuilt + stupid questions

I'd not seen that either! Doesn't look bad! Thanks for that, and the explanation of the difference between those two other models. Essence, you did a better job explaining that than Dell does LOL Now I just need to figure out what PC I'm buying lol

Falcon? Maingear? What's a good prebuilt + stupid questions

I've actually put all my monitors into other use now, so need a new one. Think I'm going with a 24" ultrasharp though not really sure what the difference is between the two models they seem to be selling now is. No one has one of these botuique builders they like? Maingear's prices seem...

Falcon? Maingear? What's a good prebuilt + stupid questions

I should ask too if there's any weirdness with AMD CPU based systems today? My last experience was an Athlon 64 system I built which was DOA, and before that an original Athlon system from Falcon, which was NEVER stable even after a year of constant BIOS updates from Asus...I eventually tossed...

Falcon? Maingear? What's a good prebuilt + stupid questions

I've had notebooks for 5 years now but am thinking of going back to desktops, and no, I don't want to build one even though I used to. I'm familiar if not blown away by Falcon Northwest, not so familiar with the other brands like Maingear, Origin, CyberpowerPC (which vs the others is more of...
