    Windows and window focus

    Damn I hate Windows sometimes, and my google-fu is failing me. I have a temporary work computer and ever 2 hours it asks me to restart for some weird reason. That is usually ok, as I can say "no" 4 times in a row before it forces me to restart by not giving me an option. However, the annoying...

    I was wondering whether anyone else has experienced this problem and has any advice on what to do, (if anything). I’ve had my PC for four months now or so and everything works well overall, but tonight for the 2nd time since owning when I booted the PC it went to the ‘choose an option’ page...

    13700K Degraded in Minutes?

    Is there a windows client that restores clonezilla/rescuezilla images

    I wish to restore images made with clonezilla from windows to an SSD connected via USB ( via m-sata adapter or sata adapter) without booting into clonezilla or rescuezilla (because it is a pain, especially with all the secure/protected boot **** going on these days). Is this possible? To run a...

    Software for different handedness in pointing devices?

    Is there any software that will allow you to have multiple pointing devices, each with their own handedness? E.g. someone might have a left-handed trackball for general use and a right-handed mouse for gaming.

    Big / Little cores, Windows 10/11 and AMD

    Intel is going down the big + little core path; AMD is not, at least with Ryzen 7000. Windows 10 cannot differentiate between the types of cores. So I think Ryzen 7000 CPUs be preferred by Windows 10 users. If I had a tinfoil hat I might wonder how much AMD was paying Microsoft to keep this...
