When opening several of the latest reviews articles they are opening in new tabs and showing as not logged in and unable to comment.When you click on the "login" button at the top it returns you to the home page.There appears to be no simple way to login from the reviews.ABP is off, and I even tried logging out and back in on the home page and retrying the reviews. Here's some screenshots of my results from home,to clicking review,to review,to after clicking login.

I had ran across an article about it,then ran across it on the old OCN site and had it on my old comp for a week or 2 because I liked the idea of helping the medical field.I was quickly turned off to the idea of being part of a "team" when people kinda complained about low results from me. Now when I get in the mood,I install and run for a week or 2. No pressure and no worries.

I'm really on the fence about this, just because a system CAN run an OS doesn't mean it should by any means. If a system that takes minutes to open a program or browser page gets an update that draws even MORE resources and crashes,the first thing that'll happen is the users will be screaming "The UPDATE broke my computer!" when what really happened was it finally had a stroke. The systems I have here " "are running Windows 10 and really shouldn't be.They'd be doing much better with a version of linux(I'll probably end up with mint on the notebook @ least). They DON'T qualify for Windows 11 and I can say it's a relief because if they did I'd try to run it just to see. When does a company finally say "Enough,we can't carry your old ass anymore,you need to go to the old cpu's home." (before anyone gets offended,the wife & I are both over 55. lol ) Nvidia ended support for older video cards, Now Microsoft seems to be ending support for older cpu's. I was upset at first that my i7 2600 wasn't going to be covered,but then I realized it's already over 10 years old,and will see the EOL of not 1 but 2 Operating Systems(7 that came installed,and 10 as the upgrade)so I think they gave me my money's worth for the OS on that cpu.

Just a little something to lighten the mood......

Don't forget the 20% panic buying increase and the 15% "we can't keep it in stock so you need to be a member" increase.....

I was reading through the post again and ran across this and I remembered the issues with certain AMD cpu's not being able to install windows 8.1 64bit after buying and installing the Windows 8 64 bit version because Microsoft had added the requirement for NX "Only the Socket AM2 based AMD processors (and greater) support the necessary CMPXCHG16B instruction set to allow the 64bit edition of Windows 8.1 to install and run. The older Socket 754 & Socket 939 editions of AMD CPUs can't handle 64bit Win8.1 and a 32bit version of Win8.1 would have to be used instead." Just like older Intel cpu's were shut out. So, it's not really something new,just them forcing their views on people which they have the right to do because we,as a group agree to use the software. Maybe if we feel it's being TOO dictatorial we should switch to the fair open OS of Apple?

OMG! I love Catzilla! it may not be the most demanding test, but it's FUN! It actually makes watching the testing worth sitting through!

here's a strange one I had sitting around, an athlon dual core on a Nvidia chipset..... the things that Dell will do to make a buck Dell Inspiron 531 This is a full size tower BTW. Edit: c'mon,anyone else remember one of my early amd used cpu purchases? A Duron cpu with 512MB of ram and a 40GB HDD. lol,those were the days!

I just want to say,when I started using windows you had to search the internet for updates and apply them and hope they were legit.THEN this great thing called Windows Update web app was released and we had a source for trusted updates but we STILL had to select WHICH updates we wanted to install and had to hope the ones we chose actually applied to our system(or that we didn't skip 1 that did apply through ignorance). Eventually that evolved so that it offered all the updates that applied and we could un-select ones with issues. (my personal favorite) Now they keep everything up to the latest updates for home users,and if you want any control,you need a pro version. Maybe if more people had been a bit more careful and kept their systems up Microsoft wouldn't feel the need to play big brother and control the OS as much. We have Govt. demanding that systems be kept updated and patched,then asking the vendors what THEY are doing to prevent further exploits so that also is probably a factor in forced updates along with the fact that it's easier to only have to patch systems that are all a certain version when a new exploit is found instead of the latest and the previous 3 versions of the OS also.(such as 21H2 and the earlier releases). At the end of the day,it's going to be about cost effectiveness.

actually it was partially corrected through updates. "Because Flash will no longer be supported after 2020, it is turned off by default in the new Microsoft Edge. Other browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla, and Safari are also planning on removing Adobe Flash in the same timeframe."<--- from microsoft's support page for edge, also they had the update that removed support for adobe flash from windows. "The Windows 10 “Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player,” which permanently removes Flash as a component of the operating system, will become mandatory starting in July. Updating to Windows 10 version 21H1, expected to start rolling out this month, will also remove the software.May 4, 2021" Actually,chrome had done it long ago on android.

@UltraMega, @pioneerisloud, Just to put MY 2 cents in, I had a woman who I finally refused to clean her pc for her anymore because it was the same items I was removing everytime. once there were 37 instances of the same malware. She was getting them from videos that people linked or she searched and clicked on and everytime she clicked on the vid it told her adobe flash was out of date and to click 'here" to update it so she did.THIRTY SEVEN TIMES,in just 1 week.That was After I'd told her about adobe never notifying her like that and if she was in doubt go to their site and showing her how to check. Flash installed more malware in my opinion than was installed from downloading because people could at least ck the files we downloaded. P.S. the refusal to clean again was given after the final cleaning so she at least had a running pc the last time I spoke with her.

I don't see where it's much different from when XP updated to service pack 1,2,or3. The earlier versions of XP weren't supported and didn't get updates.This is similar because the update being installed is the latest supported and EOL for the 1 it's replacing is in may.Yes,it's a little heavy handed,but we're in an era when our govt. has to be TOLD to patch their computers for issues that are being actively exploited.Sadly,not everyone can be trusted to do simple maintenance.

Then how did you guys know I liked extra cheese on my Pizza? Seriously though,respect for the little that's collected here.Site is quick and doesn't hog resources.

from what I read they're just updating to latest release of the SAME OS. "For anyone who is keen to stick with Windows 10 rather than jumping to Windows 11, there's no need to panic. Microsoft is not going to force you onto the very latest version of Windows if you are happy to stick with an older version. " <-- From the article.

That would be a nice idea,but I think there might be issues with warranties because of them saying it was cooling related? since it's non-factory cooling? (I've never water cooled anything except a 775 system with an aio so never had a warranty issue)

sad when govt. agencies have to be ORDERED to keep their systems updated...

lol, I'm doing MY share, a list of my graphics upgrades. GTX 750ti, a HD5770 that came pre-installed in a prebuilt dell was replaced with a GTX 970, and now an RTX 2070. I also have a GTX 950 that I put in the wifes comp to replace the 750ti she was using. Most everything else was purchased off ebay for used builds. (e.g. hd3450)

the system is all air cooling,simple OC on cpu,same with gpu when I use it. (they're software based from the aorus and evga software lines) first gen rtx 2070(non super).Edit: Things like this are why I hate Nvidia at times, twice the shaders,same amount of ram,but an actual list price cheaper than I paid for my 2070... "EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti XC GAMING"

They must think gamers fall in the 37 of Milgram's testing figure..... or maybe my wife's an ubisoft NFT? After all,she's the 1 who who decides if I get it....

since they're still giving us new community events just weeks before the new game releases, I'm gonna stay with my peeps at techland....

Dang, missed where they listed the drives they lost....
