    Question Budget-ish Laptop to run Valheim on medium to high-ish

    I've actually been pretty shocked on the longevity of the desktop I built - in 2010! I've added RAM, upgraded GPU, put in SSD over the years, but wow, I can't believe it's still chugging along and can play games like Valheim on medium.

    Question Budget-ish Laptop to run Valheim on medium to high-ish

    Hi everyone, Looking for a laptop that is in the US$500 - $1000 range. Want it for general office work, but also some gaming. In particular, I'd like to play Valheim on medium to high-ish settings. Primary issue: Valheim suggests 16GB RAM, but it seems like most laptops that have 16GB are...

    Solved! How to restart a new Facebook Account with my own information

    Yeah, not bad suggestion (^^). I'll try it. I deleted it permanently, so unsure it can be "turned back on", but definitely worth a shot. In terms of deleting posts, yeah, I considered that, but they are too long and extensive and they are all over other people's walls as well. I wanted...

    Bitdefender Total Security 2016 no console controls

    I may have figured it out - I use Razor Cortex and it has a boost setting that supposedly limits antivirus-type apps to speed up games. It could be a conflict. When the problem occurred, I had the boost activated. I turned the boost off, but still could not bring up the console. But after...

    Bitdefender Total Security 2016 no console controls

    I am using Bitdefender 2016 Total Security. I cannot get the console to show. It starts and shows up in the tray in the lower right, but it will not actually open the console so I can do nothing. I right click on the tray icon, select "Show", and nothing happens. I double click the desktop...

    Motion sensing alert suggestions

    I was reading the article below on Tomsguide (I assume this is connected to Tomshardware). I'm looking for a wifi camera that will immediately set off an alarm to wake me up when it detects motion. The review below suggests the Belkin can send such alerts, but it seems to suggest this is at...
