Minisforum announced the Neptune HX90G earlier this month, confirming that a model with a Ryzen 9 5900HX would arrive first followed by versions with Ryzen 9 6900HX and Intel Alder Lake processors. It appears that all variants’ GPUs are restricted to the Radeon RX 6650M, a Navi 23-based graphics card with 8 GB of VRAM and 1,792 cores (28 Compute Units) that’s also an option in the HP Omen 16....
So, before showing you how to remove the icon from your desktop, here are two options for putting the Recycle Bin in other locations (one provides more functionality but you can do both): Option 1 Pin the Recycle Bin to your Start Menu: Right click the desktop icon and click Pin to Start. A minor shortcoming about using this location is that it doesn’t provide the normal context options when you right click on the icon (such as the ability to empty the Recycle Bin) and instead you must open the bin to interact with it....
The industrial design student created a few prototypes to trial different film transfer methods, ultimately settling on a synchronized gear and cam mechanism driven by a single DC motor. The motor is controlled by an Arduino, and the optical components are off-the-shelf parts, but almost everything else was designed and crafted by Ikeya using a 3D printer. As Ikeya explains, incoming light from the lens is split by a half mirror before reaching the shutter....
The Guardian reports that French officials have overhauled the rules on English gamer terms in a bid to preserve the purity of the language and allow the population to communicate more easily. France’s culture ministry told AFP the video game sector was rife with English terminology that could act as “a barrier to understanding” for non-gamers. Some translations are pretty obvious: “pro-gamer” is now “joueur professionnel,” but “streamer” is now the much more cumbersome “joueur-animateur en direct....
Let’s not waste any time. Post Trauma Post Trauma appears to be a third-person horror game that harkens back to the original Resident Evil. It’s not because undead Dobermanns are jumping through windows, scaring the crap out of you, but more because it has fixed camera angles, which might be off-putting. Even the trailer shows the player stumbling with the static camera once or twice. The teaser doesn’t show any enemies, making it appear to be about solving surreal puzzles....
For example, today you can buy a powerful and modern 6-core/12-thread CPU like the Ryzen 5 3600 for less than $200. Three years ago you’d be looking at paying 3x that amount for a Core i7-6850K, or twice as much for the 6800K. It goes without mention that last year’s 6-core/12-thread R5 2600 is barely a little over $100 new. So at least on the CPU front, things have without question never been better....
Asus made this less of an issue by including clips only at one end of the DIMM slots opposite to the SATA ports. The DIMM slots are also well clear of the PCIe x16 port and the majority of the SATA ports will fit behind long graphics cards. Asus was quite clever placing the single PCIe x1 slot behind the PCIe x16 slot rather than in front of it. This means that those using a dual slot graphics card such as the Radeon HD 5770 still have the option of using the single PCIe x1 slot....
But when you want to use the Adobe app for something as simple as merging two PDFs or rotating a page, you may find that you need to buy the Pro version. Web tools may seem like a solution, but finding a reliable web application that works every time can be challenging, plus they may not be available when you need them, or cause privacy concerns. You may face a similar problem if you want to create or edit a PDF file natively....
This remains true in our P67 roundup. In terms of stock performance, the typical user is unlikely to notice a difference between the five boards in this review, so it’s impossible to declare a single winner solely based on benchmark results. Each of the boards tested today excels in its own way and it’s simply a matter of what features you need and how much cash you have to blow....
Plus, 2018 ended up being a pretty tough year for several big tech companies, so there are also a lot of folks who want to shake the old year off and dive headfirst into an exciting future. With that spirit in mind, here’s my take on some of what I expect to be the biggest trends and most important developments in 2019. Prediction 1: Foldable Phones Will Outsell 5G Phones At this point, everyone knows that 2019 will see the “official” debut of two very exciting technological developments in the mobile world: foldable displays and smartphones equipped with 5G modems....
The Aspire One 751h comes loaded with a bit more software than necessary in my opinion. All of the usual suspects are present, including Microsoft Works, a 60-day trial of Office and McAfee SecurityCenter. Acer also provides a free trial subscription for online data backup solution Carbonite. I had to question a few other software choices, such as Cyberlink PowerDVD 8, considering the system isn’t equipped with an optical drive (not uncommon across the board for manufacturers to include it regardless anyway)....
Ultrabooks were originally pitched as Windows-based competitors to Apple’s MacBook Air: thin, light, sexy and speedy with an all-day battery life for less than $1,000 – a challenging feat to be sure, but one that many companies quickly overcame, including HP with its ~$900 Folio 13. With another year’s worth of engineering and the more efficient Ivy Bridge architecture to work around, it should be even easier for system builders to meet or exceed Intel’s guidelines....
And this isn’t a surprise, because a significant chunk of the budget has gone to the Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics: the baseline hardware duo for many popular gaming laptops. With this hardware inside, the Helios 300 provides a very good experience at 1080p with ultra settings, which is exactly what you’d be hoping for. Despite its low price, the in-game experience hasn’t been compromised....
During the acquisition process, the two commuted together from their homes in Santa Cruz. It was during these drives that the concept for Netflix blossomed. It’s a no-brainer in hindsight, but at the time, launching an Internet-based company in hopes of disrupting an industry that had recently been steamrolled by what seemed like an unstoppable force – Blockbuster – was an ambitious undertaking. Blockbuster had effectively commercialized the home video rental industry over the previous decade, putting many mom-and-pop rental shops out of business through brute force....
It doesn’t end there, however, as you may also have to go to a pharmacy and deal with everything that entails. One Medical went public in early 2020 at around $22 per share. Value peaked in February 2021 at $58.70 but has since slid considerably. The all-cash deal is valued at roughly $3.9 billion, or $18 per share. That represents nearly a 77 percent premium over the stock’s closing price of $10....
Several SanDisk microSDXC cards are on offer across a variety of capacities and speed ratings. The SanDisk 256GB Ultra card is down to $23.99 after a 50 percent discount and if you need more space, the 400GB Ultra variant is only $35.99 after a 49 percent price cut. Those commanding even more space and speed might consider the 512GB Extreme card. The discount isn’t as deep on this model at 21 percent off, which brings your out-of-pocket price down to $62....
Despite losing its L3 cache completely, AMD’s A8, A6 and even the upcoming A4-Series APUs feature a brawnier L2 cache to compensate. Whereas the Phenom II range is equipped with a massive 6MB L3 cache, each core is only supported by 512KB of L2 cache. Discarding the complex and power hungry L3 cache allowed AMD to double the L2 cache capacity per core. As a result, the quad-core A8-3850 received a 4MB L2 cache which significantly boosted performance compared to a similarly clocked Athlon II processor....
Recently, AMD unveiled its new Ryzen 7000 series processors and the upcoming RDNA 3 graphics card architecture. Team Red is notably shrinking the process node size to an impressive 5nm, compared to the 7nm found in the last two Ryzen and the first two RDNA generations. These reductions allow for more performance to be stuffed into a single chip. Boost clocks for AMD’s new flagship Ryzen 9 7950X can reach up to 5....
AMD’s reputation has been tarnished by reports of some Radeon RX 7900 XTX reference graphics cards experiencing thermal issues involving GPU hotspot temperatures, or the maximum temperature read by the sensor, reaching as high as 110C. AMD initially said 110C is the normal junction temperature, which is why it refused some buyers’ RMA requests and advised those users who are experiencing unexpected thermal throttling to contact AMD support. A recent investigation by Roman ‘der8auer’ Hartung led to the overclocker placing the blame for the overheating issues on the Radeon RX 7900 XTX’s vapor chamber; it’s believed that some batches of the cards lack sufficient fluid levels....
This isn’t the first time AMD has passed Intel when it comes to market cap. That happened in February when team red’s $49 billion all-stock takeover of Xilinx boosted its market cap to $197.75 billion, pushing past Intel’s $197.24 billion by $51 million. AMD only managed to stay ahead of Intel for a few weeks before Chipzilla once again became the more valuable company. But that changed in the wake of Intel’s disastrous quarterly report in which it announced a 22% year-on-year revenue decline of $15....
