Only one participant. I put a lot of time into this, but I learned a lot. There probably won't be any more competitions for a while.

Now it's time for a competition! It will start the evening of 18th of July 2024 and going on for a week. The computer can be yours if you having hawk eyes and luck.

Update: The competition is over.    

After months of sweat, blood and tears. Here is my research on PC Power Supplies In Context | Part 1 | History. I hope you like it. Stay tune for more!

Follow TechDanne in his kitchen as he struggles to unbox things with an almost impossible combination of fan noise, poor lighting, demanding family life etc. This is a couple of weeks of really learning things until Santa comes. It was a rough start with Nedis SmartLife Floor Lamp RGB WiFi… Thing that had to go back to Inet.se.

Do you want the best stress tool for overclocking GPU in MSI Afterburner? Well then you should only consider Cinebench as a complement. Not even Furmark is good enough. In this test I will show you why.

Do you remember the first decade of Internet? Some of you were to young or not even born. Internet boomed in the middle of 90’s. I used Internet for the first time 1995. I was going in school and we had 486 and Pentiums connected to the Internet. It was really slow and that’s why chats like IRC was to prefer. It was a time of pranks and anarchy but after downloaded low-res photos of Pamela Andersson 1000 times we were really serious. The IRC platform were great for chatting with other nerds as well as arrange spontaneous parties. Soon Mirabilis ICQ become popular, but IRC never died. You can still use and enjoy IRC.

I will probably do a follow up since I’m going to build something and tell things about my old black Wave Master.

Do you have any name for him/her/hen/it? I hope it was enough of pronoun.

In this guide you will learn the basic in hunting down virus in Windows. The best way is to combine methods and repeat process until the virus is gone. It’s also useful in testing freeware. I have figured out that in more then 50% of all freeware you will get some malware too.

After years of quality products Asus is back as a potential untrusty hardware company. I can stil remember Asus P5N-E SLI from 2007, the motherboard from hell! And before that in the early 2000 we didn’t suffer from Y2K, we suffered of bad cheap capacitors from China! Of course Asus didn’t jump over this opertunity to produce puking motherboards! After that brands like Asus and Gigabyte had to work to get our trust and they got it in the same time MSI was doing some other shit. They changed to better capacitors and learned from misstakes. Well Gigabyte lied about motherboard power phases, but no one complaint.

And now 2023 Asus did it again with ASUS X670E Crosshair Hero motherboard, what a mess! This time bios and power issues. But atleast Gamers Nexus got some nice content! I don’t think that Asus doing only shortcuts with new premium AMD motherboards. I really don’t care about latest fire torches, but I do buy new accessories. I have spent the latest months with 1 x ASUS ROG Falchion 65% MX Brown Wireless and it is probably the worst keyboard I’ve owned.

I bought the keyboard in November 2022. I started to use it for a couple of months ago. Immediately I experienced problems with the keys selfrepeating. I downloaded Asus crate and flashed firmware. I also tried to register it as elite but it didn’t work out. I registered the keyboard and my ROG mouse with Asus website. I received a warranty for the old mouse but not for the keyboard! Later on the keyboard triggered the PC from hours in hibernation with repeating 333333. I flashed firmware again but strange things happened. I reseted the keyboard but after months of problem I gave up and did a RMA to the vendor. The vendor replaced the keyboard but in totaly silence. Since I don’t trust Asus in the moment I will sell it to someone else. Since it’s a premium product I was expecting more.
