I'd rather have only proprietary standards from Qualcomm, Apple, and Intel, then have some brainiac make the most fucked up changes to names of standards in the history of the human race. With decisions like this, how can anyone possibly take them seriously? To me it discredits and intelligence and professionalism that they have, they are the last organization in the world I'd want to manage such a thing. Man, I am so angry. I think this is some scam to keep IT salaries higher by needlessly making standards more complex than thet need to be, idk. Just ugh. | ||

Now these products are out for a while and everything is all good. Then for some reason they decide to change the naming of USB 3.0 to USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.1 to USB 3.1 Gen 2... Now the customers have to relearn everything, and the average person won't know, they'll probably mistake 3.1 Gen 1 and think they're getting 10gbps. Let's not forget all the confusion in the products that have been released and named in the year prior. And there's going to be a hell of a lot of confusion between products released previously without updated info, not to mention to cost to the manufacturers to update this information. Now they came up with a 20gbps USB connection, instead of nicely building on the names (3.0, 3.1, 3.2 for 5,10,20 would have been perfectly reasonable)... They decide to change the names of all the standards once again. USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 2, and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for 5, 10, and 20. Not to mention that rather than sitting down and thinking about a good standard, they're releasing a new one every year, and rather than bringing one cable for all tasks like their claimed intention, instead we will have 10 different cables that nobody will know are up to what standard, and thus not know expected charging speeds and transfer rates. The original idea of having 3.0 be blue, 3.1 be red to distinguish them was excellent, and much better than HDMI for example, where you have no idea. The first topic in the video here: | ||

My SC:Remaster seems to freeze (picture only, game runs on and I can issue inputs) since I hooked an external monitor to my laptop (Asus F555L). One picture/frame is shown forever, tabbing in-out doesn't do anything, I have to shut down the application. I have the laptop-screen disabled. My PC has Win10. Drivers up to date. SC:R runs on windowed-fullscreen. I'm not really a PC buff, I don't even know if SC:R runs on my geforce-card or on the on-board-card that laptop has. I just wanted to see if s.o. immediatelly recognizes this issue and/or has a short list of possible things I could do. If I had to go through hours of testing/error-searching I'd just play on laptop-screen again. Thx in advance. edit: sorry, "fixed", seems to be a problem of interference, always happens when I start and close a certain other game before SC:R | ||

You could say something like "It consumes 35 Watthours of energy per hour", but that is kinda silly when you can simply say "It uses 35 Watt of power". | ||

There's a huge difference in power draw when stuff is hardware accelerated properly or not, when a GPU is in a different power state etc. A lot of that depends on exact software configurations. For the last ~6 years my system has pulled 80 watts extra on the desktop just because Nvidia and AMD both require the GPU to be in a gaming power state when running two monitors with one of them above 60hz. | ||

I also highly recommend to use fps-cap for menue of all games. It drawes a lot more power than playing the game... ...............no cap vs fpscap30 in menue (1055T & gtx1050) sc2......... 195Watt vs 140Watt -frameratecapglue=30 Diablo3.. 188Watt vs 110Watt you find fps-cap in ingame options ...............no cap vs fpscap60 while playing sc2......... 170Watt vs 155Watt -frameratecap=60 Diablo3.. 168Watt vs 135Watt you find fps-cap in ingame options | ||

If you play with caps, do exactly as described here: https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/32248 then you won't have to do that everytime after each patch. | ||

Does 32-bit have any issues with memory limits now that they've added a ton of skins etc? I was one of the first to benchmark it being slower than 64 bit when it was in beta but the performance improved after that and i haven't looked at it for a few years. | ||

I don't need to burn CD's. You may just buy extern CD/DVD driver on USB - there's are rather cheap, don't require extra drivers and just work. I've been using them at previous work from time to time and there's really no reason to buy internal drive in most cases. I am not aware of real meaningful difference between external and internal drives. | ||

There are some edge cases with external drives related to installing old windows versions (e.g. 7) on newer motherboards, but when actually in Windows they're functionally the same. I found that it was literally impossible to install win7 for like the last 5 CPU gens without having an internal CD drive, a cd burner and a second internet-connected device. It's really ridiculous that it's harder to install an OS with basic functionality (like the ability to play audio or use anything via USB or ethernet) than it is to build the system! In 2020 it will be somewhat understandable but not in 2015 | ||
