Computers and Technology

What’s the problem? Microsoft knows what you need and they will give it to you. Resistance is useless. You will be assimilated.

Because it can process 64 threads simultaneously.

Not 32 bit. 32 core cpu units-each core is 64 bit processor.

It’s fine for browsing the web and watching Youtube… good thing photo editing doesn’t need powerful graphics.

I noticed that, too. It has a 32 bit setup? And what’s with the name “Threadripper?”

O-K, a big fast processor suite. 32 core but still 32 bit.

What you gonna do with it?

Intel graphics have always sucked.

I now have my new Mac Mini … so nice to have a fast computer again.

Next thing will be a eGPU … As you can see, the on-board graphics won’t cut it for video editing.

Beautiful!!!! We thank thee Great One, His Majesty Deadpool!! You are the legend forever to be remembered for thou JPR Greatness.  History will remember ye. Enshrined forever somewhere.

We bow to thee!

It worked!!

I always use EZ Gif

Once the gif is made, other stuff can be done to it. (Adding text)

Photoshop or AfterEffects can do that all day. But you’d have to get a month subscription to Adobe.

A duckduckgo search gave a bunch of hits for free online and download apps. Don’t know how good any of them are.

I’m on the second motherboard for my AMD FX-8350. Had the cpu since they came out in 2012. Running it overclocked at 5 GHZ with an NVidia GTX-1060 graphics card to drive my 40-inch 4K TV I use as a monitor. 16 Gb RAM, boots from either a 256 Gb SSD for Windows 7 Pro or a 128 GB SSD for LinuxMint 19.3, with a secondary 2 Tb data drive. The only…[Read more]

Nice build. Even early gen i5 CPUs are overkill for everything except video editing and other tasks at that level. You can always benefit from “more” with that stuff.

Windows sees even 16 GB of ram as overkill unless you’re running memory hog applications. But it uses the extra for caching, so it’s not going to waste. Though with an SSD for your…[Read more]

Got a slot for one of these, or is today’s level of onboard graphics enough? (he asked innocently)

6 days for me. Just got a Lenovo IdeaPad L340, 15.6″ laptop. My dinosaur of a Compaq was so old it couldn’t handle Windows 10, and Windows 7 is already degrading, so…well, it lasted me 15 years.

So far, so good. Love the laptop so far.
