You can do so with Xbox Remote Play and a mobile device. Here's...

was navy, now he does off shore robot sub. They do explorations and ck off shore rigs also. usually out 6-9 weeks at a time,and the wifi is satellite so they have to watch how much they're using or it bogs it down for the other guys. lol He use to take his notebook,but it got to where between the wifi and the graphics the pc gaming out there wasn't worth the effort. Now he pretty much does console gaming when he comes in.(I have a grandaughter who also plays on the console with him. )

I could ALMOST see my 40y/o son buying this for when he's off shore,but then you have the whole lack of bandwidth issue for the games if he's gonna play while out there.

@Diffident Here's some 80's for ya...

not just Apple,some Chrome books also had proprietary wifi only they could replace.If you replaced it with a different 1 the bios wouldn't recognize it.

will be nice if and when it happens

Also BattlEye, Microsoft seems to have had a problem updating some insiders builds that were running with it installed according to this article. If you love playing Call of Duty games, don’t upgrade to Windows 11 yet KNOWTECHIE.COM If you love playing online games like Call of Duty, you might want to wait until the official version of Windows 11 is out to upgrade.

Because they hope the new OS will have performance increases? usually,and PUBG recognized that,but activision is being kinda 'We don't KNOW it was BE not recognizing the new OS configuration..." lol, No, that's the gaming companies running software to detect cheats already if you wanna play the game. Kinda like Sony with the DRM software.....

lol, looks like my i7 2600 doesn't have to worry about "movin on up..." Planned obsolescence strikes again.

I mostly read ScFi /Fantasy and when I found myself re-reading the xanth collection while waiting for a new release from 1 of the few authors I follow who are still alive I actually subscribed to kindle unlimited. Alot of the offerings are kinda fluff, but I read an average of a book a day or every 2 days so for the price,it was worth it for me. This article is pretty good at describing Amazons 2 offerings and the cost of each along with the pro's & cons. https://www.hookedtobooks.com/kindle-unlimited-vs-prime-reading/ As to some suggestions from MY collections, I'd say Glen Cooks Black Company series(9 main,2 splinter books),Piers Anthony's Incarnation's Of Immortality series(Incarnations of Immortality is the name of an eight-book fantasy series by Piers Anthony. The books each focus on one of eight supernatural "offices" (Death, Time, Fate, War, Nature, Evil, Good, and Night) in a fictional reality and history parallel to ours, with the exception that society has advanced both magic and modern technology. The series covers the adventures and struggles of a group of humans called "Incarnations", who hold these supernatural positions for a certain time.) Mercedes Lackey her Heralds Of Valdemar series(38 novels so far... and 14 anthologies) , her 500 Kingdoms series(6 full length books & a short story), and her Elemental masters series(16 full novels & 2 anthologies) are all rather good. For your detective fix, I recommend trying the Garret P.I. series by Glen Cook 14 books. "Garrett P.I. is a series of fantasy novels by American writer Glen Cook about Garrett, a freelance private investigator. The novels are written in a hard-boiled detective fiction style, with elements of traditional mystery and dialogue-based humor. Garrett, during his adventures in his home city of TunFaire and across Karenta and the Cantard, has to deal with elves, vampires, centaurs, trolls, and numerous mixed breeds, along with gods, wizards, witches and more." <--- from Wikipedia....

prime day and monitor replacement buys...

I had to enable the trusted platform stuff in my cpu,but now I'm Windows 11 ready on THIS comp.(my dell fails because secure boot is turned off and I think it'll still fail because the cpu is 2nd gen i7. I'm including a zipped version of the Windows pc health ck'er that has the Windows upgrade ck'er in it if anyone wants to try it. WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup.zip

feels more immersive in 4k with the graphics kinda looking like the older 3d movies(I'm only 30" from the screen so it feels like I'm right on it. lol,that may be a bad way to describe the feel,but it's the closest I can think of. I like it,no buggyness so far in anything.

yeah,I did a modest OC and it's been ok in Destiny2,Dying Light,Metro Exodus,and Witcher 3 so far. Just now took it higher and tested using FurMark's 4k preset test, here's a screen shot of results (notice the actual OC can be seen in HWMonitor @ 1980Mhz) Don't know why gpu-z list the OC at 1757Mhz,but no matter WHAT I OC it to that's what show's there after a certain point.lol, it probably doesn't like my card because it's not a super. gonna try some more test.Edit: added screenshots the set oc is 1875 but it boosts to 1980 for some reason, it seems to run stable on it's own between between 1850 & 1920 during the test and hasn't crashed yet. Will see how it does in actual games. the big black "benchmark results" shot is from the Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor benchmark in 4k. lol, actually got like 1 higher & 2 fps lower than when I ran it in 1080 just before. I also switched my ram over to the XMP profile which gives me a higher clock there. Might try rerunning some of the test with cpu parts to see if it helped.

Well,went with the BenQ for the 4k because I don't do a whole lot of gaming where I have to worry about getting killed often by real people. and even @ 60Hz it's supposed to have a 1ms response time.(I bought the Dp cable for the best results.)

giving the VIOTEK GFI27DBXA 27 Inch 180Hz QHD 1440p 1ms Gaming Monitor, the AOC CQ27G2 27" Super Curved Frameless Gaming Monitor, and the BenQ EL2870U 28 inch 4K Monitor for Gaming serious thought. each are $300.00 or less and have a 3 year manufacturer's warranty so I don't have to worry about buying an extended one.Will fit the dimensions I have open for a monitor so that's a plus. Edit: I didn't go with the Lg's because they only had a year warranty on them.

It was 1 of the extended warranties from walmart(that's who I got the monitor on-line from) original warranty was 1 year so as soon as the time was up it showed it was no longer valid.

System is as follows : Some monitors I'm wondering about... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084CYSSBG/?coliid=I2Y7I404EW1T2B&colid=2WJ2OAYKZORL7&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PGL2WVS/?coliid=I3BU0A8OVEV1WL&colid=2WJ2OAYKZORL7&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0939Y8S81/?coliid=I2W123HGC8SVS2&colid=2WJ2OAYKZORL7&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0862YHJ56/?coliid=I2OS71QFSXVJJQ&colid=2WJ2OAYKZORL7&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YFLC3JD/?coliid=I3OCPVGY0JOTGI&colid=2WJ2OAYKZORL7&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YMW8YY4/?coliid=I25G9PTZ1D0NHQ&colid=2WJ2OAYKZORL7&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089NZCLHW/?coliid=I18SOQDL7PHVM&colid=2WJ2OAYKZORL7&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KFMN2PT/?coliid=I37JXSCPGE5F3H&colid=2WJ2OAYKZORL7&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

My Sceptre 22" flaked out 5 days after the 2 year extended warranty ended, so I'm looking for a replacement monitor (upgrading hopefully) that will fit in the following dimensions. 28"w x 19" h ON the stand. Hoping to go above 1080 but not spend more than $300 after shipping& taxes. (didn't really see this coming) No Micro center near me. Newegg and Amazon are my usual friends... lol. The Sceptre greeted me with a white screen that when I restarted it,showed a blurred faded image of the logo before going all white again.When I hooked up the old monitor,it works fine,so I know it's the sceptre.

When your E3 announcement isn't quite what you thought it was gonna be...... ?

all you need is any android device hooked up to the tv. Even the fire devices that support the bluetooth controlers are able to do it with the playstore sideloaded. lol,think how much that would p.o. the geforce now users who bought games for the pc,play them on the tv using a shield,then xbox is like "Oh,we can offer all these games for so much a month instead of having to buy them flat out..." ?

lol, I must have missed the first batch(they started at 8 am my time) but they are supposed to be staggering the release which I guess is why they say coming soon(more in stock). If I get 1,all good,if not,no biggie.Already running a 2070 so not that great a diff for what games I play. I can wait another year or so. Link with info on the 3070 ti founders edition release ---> https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-ti-stock-where-to-buy/

shows online only, coming soon where you click to add to cart. think it's either waiting for a certain time, or broken. (was supposed to be midnight,but midnight WHERE? lol)
