Okay that is your opinion. Why assume I dont like them? I seriously have no preference so it doesnt matter if I have it or not,

Don't take it too personally, to be honest my only complain with small keyboards are the small arrow keys, or some sort of weird arrow keys, if you see my laptop, albeit very blurry, the arrow keys left and right are ok but the up and down are terrible, other than that I don't have any other complain.

Well, he has all the USB ports at hand :D

BINGO!

I tend to plug permanently connected devices in the back, removable ones in the front.

I guess whatever suits your needs / floats your boat.

Not saying it's a bad thing was just a little confused for half a second and realised the tower unit was backwards.

I don't find it too bad really. It's basic, but works for me.

Not sure about that one, my main issue with Dell keyboards, and most other OEM ones too is that the keys are like jamming your finger into peanut butter, all mushy, and when typing most of the day my fingers will start to cramp

Wanted to be different is a small reason

Some is we got mad that Cooler Master on the front did all the ports at top upside down.

Main is we have a lot of USB 3 stuff :D so fun fun fun

My workstation at the office:

Dell Latitude E6510

Core i5 M560 2.67 GHz,

4 GB RAM

Intel HD Graphics

I don't think I could handle the monitor envy I'd be suffering, if that was my view all day. Something would have to be done, asap.

My setup :) Thinkpad T420, iPad mini, Asus 24" LCD, i7-870/GTX 480 rig (soon 7950!), Razer BlackWidow Mechanical/Backlit keyboard, Logitech G400.

Amazing setup man. Everything (except the ipad) looks very professional and elegant.

Loving the Thinkpad and the case.

Thanks! The case is an NZXT Guardian, I really like the quality/looks of it. Can't tell from the picture but it has a 3-sensor temeperature display and the lines on it light up blue which matches the keyboard (also can't see). Want to get a blue Razer DeathAdder to finish it off, but I am just too happy with my G400 to justify it.

As for the iPad...yah, it's a bit out of place, but it needs some love from me, too :p

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
