    Living with Windows 10: The Best and Worst So Far

    Right with you, buddy. They can take Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 and shove them you know where. I'll be using 7 until they release a real operating system for desktop users and stop trying to sell us what we don't NEED, let alone want.

    Living with Windows 10: The Best and Worst So Far

    Absolutely ridiculous what they are doing to windows. 8 was a flop and 10 will be as well, and for the same exact reasons. If I want a touchscreen operating system, or a touchscreen device period, I'll buy a tablet or smartphone that comes with a touchscreen OS. Get it through your thick skulls...

    Bahahaha. Good old evil Google. You want freedom? PAY ME! Bahahaha. No thanks. I enjoy an ad free experience at no cost (to me). But I love not giving you advertising revenue.

    Expired Antivirus Protection Just as Bad as None

    I'm not trolling at all. I'm sharing my experiences. To each their own. If you feel as though you're so unsafe that you need an anti-virus, by all means, use it. I however am comfortable performing basic and advanced tasks on the internet without an anti-virus, and have had no problems without...

    Expired Antivirus Protection Just as Bad as None

    It's not that difficult to see what's on your computer. I can see and check everything from files to processes to registry entries to program/file network usage to everything else you can think of. If you know what viruses do, it's easy to spot them without anti-virus.

    Expired Antivirus Protection Just as Bad as None

    The best anti-virus is always yourself (if you're competent). Best of all, it doesn't horrendously tax your hardware, or spy on you. Signed, 15 years virus free with MeMyself&I AV hardware

    Problem with sound quality

    Check the audio settings. It sounds like a default setting that cuts bass because laptop speakers won't produce bass.

    Will any surround sound receiver work with and surround sound speakers?

    In short, yes basically any surround set will work. Just watch the ohm load. Most home receivers are only stable from 6ohm to 8ohm. If you go with 6-ohm speakers they will pull a little more power from the receiver and be a little louder.

    CAN I USE 2 4 OHM speakers one side of my amplifier

    If it's 2-ohm stable, yes. Parallel will give you 2-ohms and series will give you 8-ohms.

    PC to A/V Receiver No bass when playing music

    I assume it's in 2 Channel/A Direct mode. Choose AFD Auto. It will give you two channel stereo + sub or 5-channel stereo + sub.

    garage speakers help

    Wow. I'm not sure I would even bother trying to hook those up. That wire is definitely not speaker wire. Who knows if the speakers are properly crossed over. And the port... just looks like a hole in the box. It may work but it will more than likely sound like crap.
