In your case, it’s Windows 10's Fast Startup feature. What this does (basically) is log you out, then hibernate the system. Thus, when you start it back up, all the services and such are already running, so everything gets going quicker. However, some things don’t play nicely with it. Hold Shift when you click…

I parted with my 89 specimen at the dealer for $500 around 2005, and that was the dealer being generous. Pace car or no, $8500 for that is nuts. Whatever he’s smoking, it’s probably better than crack (hence the price)

My first car was an 89 Beretta. It had that same dash..and I think the 2.8 version of that engine. On the upside, it was a 5 speed manual, and had that same cool digital dash. Those are about the only upsides to that car. Interior was terrible. Everything is controlled by vacuum tubes. The vacuum leaks got so bad at…

Could be. That said, the game doesn’t take much to run, so it’s not like you need a monster gaming PC to play it. If anyone’s impatient I’d definitely recommend picking it up on Steam.

Probably easier to code for. They weren’t even going to do a Switch release originally. Game runs in HTML5, not sure the Switch even supports that given that it doesn’t have a web browser.

After helping raid lead in WoW, I think you’re giving other people to much credit. The AI tends not to stand in fire in most games

Thank god. This was driving me insane. Having to keep fussing with the WiFi setting was getting old. I’ll update my TV tonight.

This seems like a terrible design. If I hit something and am not obliterated instantly, if I lose power, I’m not going to stay in my seat....not that I want to be in a flipped speeder anyway. On second thought, I don’t think it matters, lol.

I still doubt you’ll notice much of a difference. You’re still allocating 4 shared lanes to 2 drives. The other peripherals (USB, Audio, etc.) don’t use much bandwidth. The real advantage of RAID is that you’re splitting the reads and writes between drives. to “double” your performance. Most NVMe drives are already…

Ryzen boards are expensive. As for 3 series, I believe they have 24 lanes. So, 8 lanes for the PCH and other onboard stuff. Looks like it’s split - 4 lanes for NMVe/SATA, 4 lanes for the rest.

I DD a 5th gen. People bitch about the rear visibility (it’s fine if you know how to adjust your mirrors). Forward though...I have lost people and cars in those A pillars. They’re very thick and there’s no way to mitigate them aside from being attentive.

I work in an open concept office. It blows. I have 0 privacy and people are loud.

Sounds much like my initial WoW experience around 3mo after the initial launch. Friends talked me into it, played a LOT more than me, got to about lvl 35, and they burned out. I kept playing, beat them all to 60, and ended up getting into raiding. In the end, I was the only one who seriously stuck with the game, and I…

I agree. Frankly, I’m of the opinion we need a standardized charging standard before we really start pushing electric vehicles anyway. So far every manf has a different standard and plug, and it’s not good long term.

That’d be a P55 chipset, SATA2 only...though, it might have a “SATA3" controller on it. A lot of manfs went with a terrible Marvell controller then that was worse than SATA2.

I agree, 12 is probably fine. I’d recommend anyone building new today go with 16. RAM has gotten very cheap again, and 8 just doesn’t really cut it outside of light use. (especially if you’re a tab hoarder like some of my users...)

Welcome to raid leading. It never gets better. I used to help lead in WoW, and ghosting was always an issue. Ideally you pick up a few alternative players in your guild/whatever to them fill in when inevitably someone doesn’t make it because <reason> or just no-shows. (I’ve literally had players fall asleep at their…

most things can be done single player, outside of the raids. In fact, they can be more fun that way if you like a challenge. There is some forced MP, but almost all of it has matchmaking.

Agreed. I lost of my copy of Seasons somewhere years ago unfortunately. I would love to play those games again, they were very good.

Honestly, hiccups aside, the launch has played better for me on Steam than it ever did on bnet. I haven’t gotten stuck loading or unable to click launch once yet.
