I have two different ad blockers on my iPad and neither block ads in Youtube via edge. Many other websites are brutal as well. My laptop with edge and ublock is great.

I am going into surgery tomorrow, it better work good while im in there. I am not happy that ad blocking do not work in Edge on my iPad but it works on every other device I own. I am going to have to deal with it as it's going to be the only device I have with me while recovering. So it's going to be my tv, magazine and what not when im in recovery. Hopefully im only in there 3 or 4 days and then I will be home where I can use my laptops again.

Nailed it for sure. Both the chargers I had were 2 prong. One was the apple charger though. But 100 percent grounding now that I think about it. And the hotel probably didn't help matters either.

I was away with my family this weekend and took my laptop with me. So I plug in the notebook for the night after using it for awhile and have this funny "sensation" when I was charinging it on the right hand side of the machine where my wrist stays. Like tingly sensation but not quite. In order to feel it you have to move your finger across the notebook. So I pulled out the charger and it stopped. I then tried with a otterbox USB C charging block and apple cord I have to charging both our phones at the same time. That charging solution produced the same "sensation". I get back home and plug into the original charging block and cable and low and behold, no "sensation". Can anyone give any reasons why two other chargers would do this and one does not? I have another dell laptop charger in my office I have to try as well.

Picked up my iPad because we are going out of town for the weekend and I like taking some goodies with me. Turned it on and it froze on the settings app for like 35 seconds, then it froze on the Home Screen for another 20 seconds. It’s a 10th gen iPad so it has enough power to run it no problem so I would assume being it’s just one year old. I thought iPadOS was supposed to be light and snappy all the time.

Well. In a major turn of events, we are downsizing our home. My wife and I will be sharing an office space now. So what we are doing is going to have two of the same setups for the new office. Same desk, same chairs same monitor. Different keyboards and pcs. I am going to be keeping my Dell XPS for the foreseeable future to do my work. I am going to get Kelly a new mini PC for her desk. She's going to have the pink Logitech Keyboard and mouse to complement her Logitech mouse pad she already has. I am going to have the "space grey" Logitech setup for my desk. We are both going to get the 40 inch Alogic ultrawides. Hers will be silver and again, mine space gray. I think we are going with large sit/stand desks and good quality chairs. I will have to get a multiple printer, scanner stand for my photo printer and scanner and our Multifunction unit for general duties. Everything is about compacting space to a way more reasonable level. Right now we have two offices and they are both huge. But with that comes insane living expenses. So chopping our house, property and expenses in half will make it way easier for us to retire when we want. If we did stay here, I would be working forever. Moving to the new smaller property we can retire in 10 years and have just basic living expenses.

Forgot to quote so you see it. If you were building a system today what CPU would you use?

Update. The "repair" to outlook lasted 1 day. I had to run repair again this morning. No wonder I am ditching windows and moving to linux. There will be a few growing pains I am sure, but this crap is ridiculous. Microsoft is not even hiding the fact they sell your data to places like McAfee even if you don't have it installed on your system, let alone various 3rd party "companies". NO THANKS MS. GFY!

Yes, I had to go through it with my moms laptop. It's a huge inconvenience. Plus, I am ditching windows for security reasons too. They like scraping your data and sending it to places like McAfee, and other third party bidders. I don't have McAfee on my systems why is my data going to them. NO THANKS. I broke the news to my son who has autism and does not like change that change is coming on his gaming PC. For the better however.

So, I was just reading about the bitlocker bull. So MS holds your pc hostage with bitlocker encryption so if you have to install a new drive, or want to upgrade, the data on your current drive is locked and unable to be read unless you get a passcode from them? that's next level.

I am wondering if anyone knows if I can get the fans to shut up on his MSI cyborg when not gaming? As soon as you power on the laptop they start screaming. Don't kick in performance mode fans. WOW. this laptop is great other than the fan noise.

I have Noctua NH-T2 on all my dells and it dropped temps ALOT. The fans do not kick in near as much now. Works great, easily available and not stupid expensive.

I was having alot of laggy system issues with youtube and my outlook opening like 2 mins after starting it. Did some research. On edge, there is a setting that allows hardware acceleration. That is on by default and caused websites, videos etc to lag, stutter etc. I turned of that hardware acceleration in the Edge browser and everything is as smooth as my linux system now. Happy again. I thought it was something I was going to have to live with, but it fixed and I am happy. For the outlook program taking ages to load. That was fixed by a software update and repair. It's all super fast again now. thankfully!

If you were building a PC today. What would you use?
