I understood that just fine, I previously sent my last G-Skill RMA to Livingston about 30 miles from me. I should have included that.

It is far worse than that now for UK buyers. My 64gb kit of G-skill ram has to be sent to Taiwan for rma now, I've got other items that used to get shipped to EU but now they no longer get sent there either. I just bought new ram as I couldn't wait that long. So the Netherlands is pretty...

you could just run some benchmarks yourself to find out like I did. 10-15% drop in performance in every single one. Oddly actual games don't display the same drop as synthetic benchmarks do, but then not so odd either. But I've recorded some numbers and when I go back to windows 10 later today...

it is cpu dependant it seems, and application. I've not really noticed anything in games, about the same. in other apps I use I have noticed it. Its the other apps that for me is the problem as it isn't just a 15% drop in performance. its weird behaviour as well such as a random black screen...

Yeah they did, from what I've been hearing it will be a little longer now. I can always upgrade again but I'm not going to wait for them to fix something that shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. It irks me immensely when a company releases software untested and not working as...

Unsure about tpm 2.0 but tpm has been breached as far back as that.

So as some may be aware there is an issue with the scheduler in windows 11. Where Microsoft in their infinite wisdom sat down with just Intel to design the scheduler to run on big-little alder lake. Now they are sitting down with AMD to bring that back into line. Which probably is where...

I still have my full retail Vista Ultimate media :( I liked it too. It just needed enough ram to be usable and most system sold back then were coming out of shops with 1gb if they were lucky so it got a bad rep mostly because system oem's were dumb. I loved the live backgrounds and stuff and...

Maybe its just me but when I click on file explorer it opens a new one for me every time I left click on it.... alternative option is shortcut Win-E. I've not done anything to my OS to allow this its native.

ElevenClock still has some weirdness with 4k displays with its settings menu but functions fine. I want to buy that guy a beer

this bit confused me too, it made no sense to me either to do that. I'm not sure if the people that decided this course of change were entirely sane.

Windows 10 does use TPM, certainly on every laptop made since it came out. it's optional on Desktops though. I'm glad its just a bios switch for me, but I have my own concerns around TPM but I will use it. There will sadly always be something that windows 10 won't support that windows 11 does...

@CB I don't think my job requires a secretary :) I have never once used the same passwords for personal stuff like banking as I do with generic website access, however for both I pick something completely unrelated to me as a person. So even if you knew me, my hobbies, interests and entire...

I couldn't imagine a security flaw that severe either, I was just thinking about the timeline for end of life and thought...wow that's quite short. I concur on the hardware side, and honestly I don't disagree with MS on that front, its unreasonable to think some hardware can be supported...

@A Guy Thanks, some really good info in here for anyone else that may wonder the same thing. Security is a bigger deal these days so its good to check and be sure.
