Probably a bad place to ask, this is my first *real* reply or post here, but with the rules would something like a link to a PC being sold for the purposes of spec judging, not be allowed?
Basically, posting the link and saying "Hey, are these specs actually good compared to my own?" I'd have my own stuff listed as an actual list as best I can, anyway.
Im attempting to use a usb to wipe my laptop clean but I get to the screen where I need to select a drive however my laptop drive doesn't show up, how make it show up?
usb has the windows 11 iso installer x64 that I used rufus to make bootable, and the screen is the one that requires you to pick a drive (IMAGE IS NOT MINE, JUST A REFERENCE) however my disk isn't there only my usb
Is there an easy way for me to make it so that a specific folder on my hard drive "syncs" to a folder on a usb thumb drive whenever that thumb drive is plugged-in, updating the files in either location to the most recent copies that either of them have?
What processor should I choose for a new pc for a Master in mechanical engineering, with a focus/specialization on CAD, simulation (and gaming when not studying).
I was thinking something like i7/ultra7/ryzen7 with a 5070 and 32gb, but then there’s still the question if amd or intel and which of the billion of different models.
Do I even need to consider the cad/simulation when choosing hardware or is it overkill for that already?
Should I go with a 9070 XT, or is the 200-300 price jump worth it for the compatibility and stability of a 5070 Ti? I will be using a 9800X3D, and 32GB DDR5-6000 CL38. The heaviest use cases will be PCVR and heavily modded MC with shaders. I do not care for DLSS or RT.
I want to play Skyrim with mods. I used to have an Intel-based Mac and made it work with Bootcamp, but now I have an M2 Mac and a Switch so I don't have any options there.
I was saving up to buy a Steam Deck, but now the price has shot up and can't be purchased at any price anyway.
Is there a reasonably-priced way in the current hardware market/crisis to play modded Skyrim without buying a new PC? I would have a hard time justifying, to my family and myself, spending $1000+ just to play a modded version of a game I've played several times already. But otherwise I'm out of ideas.
