In Buttplug's case, the old Help Desk acronym PEBKAC always applies.

Cyber is probably the wrong word.

As the updates trundle on

Fucking brilliant Dave!

I never tried Win 8... don't suppose I ever will (especially after watching that clip lol).

I went to PC world today to look at getting a new Computer, the salesman told me that I needed to buy for an extra £80 a firewall anti virus something or other to protect Windows 10 .
I just said, that's what you've been told to sell me after I buy the computer, it shouldn't need it if it's good already.
I didn't buy it.

any recommendations

^^

Windows defender & Windows firewall.


Made by M$ for Windows, pretty much unintrusive unlike other firewall/anti-virus and completely free. Doesn't protect against complete tech stupidity, but then nothing will.

people should just buy an iPad, the majority are too stupid to use a keyboard, and we have quite a few examples here with all the silly tech questions

using their fingers should be more than enough to master their computing skills,

and those who think that upgrading Windows or buying more RAM or a new SSD is to going to solve all their computer problems are just too stupid to be left alone near a computer

Most of you lot have heaps of disposable income... why you don't all just buy a stonking, PC beast, is beyond me..

The best part about buying individual components of a PC (or any major purchase) is reading the reviews and personalizing your own rig, be it for gaming or business..

Which CPU/graphic card(s) air cooled or water cooled/SSD/motherboard/sound card/yada yada...

Then the real fun starts as you overclock your new baby (or underclock) as I have with my t-rak...

Anyway, enough nerd-speak... Win 10 is a solid OS... but it needs tweaking... a bit like buying an Android phone vs Iphone... iphone runs smooth right out the box - with no lag or slowdowns, but with very limited options for tweaking things..

Android has almost unlimited freedom for tweaking things to your liking, but needs constant maintenance (close programs, don't just click the home button, etc) otherwise their shitty ram management software gets overwhelmed and lag will appear...

What was my point? oh yeah.. Win 10 gets my approval.. after tweaks/customization... chai dai krup!

^ If you are a gamer Windows 10 is the only OS with DX12.

not much move on the move tho, with laptops cheaper than ever seems the way to go but I'm no expert .

Seems the real geeks prefer to hurl abuse than give constructive responses like you

in these days if you need to have someone tell you which computer to buy, maybe you shouldn't be near one in the first place,

buy an iPad, you won't know the difference

Do you mean an IpAd that has no back up within miles of here that no local office can fix

An ipad i can have several windows running attached to a fan , CD drive Printer and wireless keyboard and mouse? Is there such a machine

why would an old man need so much hardware to surf porn or post on TD ?

buy a fucking iPad, they last forever, and that's all you need

so still the insults what a sad life

True that Dave (I mean about laptops being more convenient/portable).

Point taken. I was going to say you would need a high-end, beastly (paeng mak mak) laptop to get decent frame rates in any modern game (battlefield 4/1, or such ilk)... but I've been out of the loop for a while and technology has improved since then, so I might be wrong... mid-range lappies might power those games? (anyone care to shed some light?).

But dollar for dollar, for performance, you can't beat a PC... then (given enough omph!) you can have your 4k, 35" screen, with all your game settings on Ultra - to fully immerse yourself in the game world.

Bliss.. 30 + yr old gamer lol..

BTW, loads of guys (and girls) well over 40 playing BF4 and they are elite players some in the top 10 players in the world.. damn their reflexes are fast! unless their user name jason1962 etc, is actually his 14 yr old son playing haha..

I know a few who does, so I wouldn't be surprised this is more general than said

I know in Chess it's done alot, newbies playing online with the help of a pro
