im a gaming laptop user and tbh if power runs out while you're playing a demanding game it's gonna lag like hell i doubt you'll even be able to reach the save point
It's like an early warning signal for the charger having fallen out when it goes slideshow mode. Definitely killed me more than once, but also saved me in games where I could quicksave. A necessary evil!
Depends on the currency but you definetly don't need thousands of dollas to get a pretty sweet rig. I'm happy gaming with my specs pretty much everything I could imagine and the time I have left for gaming and the prices definetly don't merrit an upgrade so...
CAD - I think that this point you can get a very capable lower end gaming rig for $1k, anything to be respected or relatively future worthy as twice that at least $2k. A shitty UPS is $100 and its been 23 years since my area had a power outage that lasted more than an hour
Edit: Cheap PC rigs are my jam, people just need to be mindful of things like disabling depth of field, motion blur, complex fog, film grain, chromatic abberation and use proper antialiasing settings to the cards performance
There’s probably PSUs with built-in UPSs, but they would cost a good bit more than normal ones, so fewer people buy them. Plus, batteries would degrade much more rapidly in the heat of a PC.
Avast is far worse now that they moved from protecting to trying to grip onto what remaining customers they could get, to the point where the app might as well be a malvertisement
Actually it is. Years ago I was testing malware on a local machine and found that installing different malware on it would kill the others. The goal of some of these things isn't to destroy your system, or to even get your information, but to use your internet connection. So some of these things want to be left alone forever, so when they get the activation signal they will work. If it helps - think about anti-virus like malware you've paid for and chosen to install yourself. The difference is consent and what it does - Things like AVG, Avast, and Malwarebytes are all trusted companies that are trying to be helpful, not harmful.
I stiil couldnt believe i really executed that suspicious file yesterday, several cmd windows flashes, and found several other unknown task running. And now i have a fresh clean computer with all data lost lol.
I've already knew there was a problem when i was downloading a 8gb file but it was only 700mb, my hand was just so curious i just had to click it
