Anybody playing XCOM 2? I paid $60 for it at Walmart. The outside box didn't have anything on it about its particular gameplay. I merely figured it was either a FPS or TPS, but it turned out to be TBS (turn-based-strategy) something I had never played. I have finally gotten used to the game...

It is rumored that Longknife is a Microsoft employee.

I upgraded to Windows 10 after just upgrading to Windows 8.1 in February. I liked what Microsoft had done with 8.1. Now, with 10, Microsoft has eliminated many of both parts of 8 and 8.1. I disabled Cortana, the personal assistant. I thought that was a great idea, but I would have to supply too...

You mean vain not vein. Speaking of obnoxious, the previous post qualifies.

She could get herself an HP. I used to be a civil service employee, and we ran those HP's mostly 24/7 for 6 years straight. Mine lasted forever and is probably still going strong. Then again, I did shut it down on Friday nights and to take it home to do work or travel.

You need to start wearing long pants. That way it won't burn your thighs when it gets too hot.

I saw where somebody had mentioned the rack that you can fit the laptop in that has separate fans to vent the heat, but this lady probably likes to sit out in the sun and use her PC. So if the sun isn't burning her thighs, the laptop surely will.

Well, I discovered the Settings app on the lower left hand corner if you click the desktop icon, by accident because I was always using the last icon on the lower far right of the screen. With that said, my laptop has the home version of 10, and there is no way to change from automatic...

I remember back years ago when my office had those old white Compaq laptops that you could have the laptop on all day, doing spreadsheets, and the fan never ran. It didn't over heat either, but whenever I started running that old demo of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, then the fan would start...

Actually, Windows 8.1 did an excellent job of fixing Windows 8, and I wish Microsoft would have left it there, but they had to go and break it again.

Laptops have some of the best cooling systems out there, one fan and a heat sink, which is a heat pipe configuration all designed for a tight, compact situation as in the laptop case. The only thing that will compromise this excellent situation is blocking off the vents, preventing the fan from...

The OP just sounded so funny that I had to comment. I never even bothered to look at your avie nor read any of the other posts. Then again, avies don't mean much anyway. I have seen lots of guys with girls as their avatar. I was only speaking of guy and gal interaction, but girl on girl...

Microsoft finally fixed Windows 8 with Windows 8.1. Now, they have re-broken the 8.1 fix with Windows 10. How long before we will see Windows 10.1 coming out?

They are talking about the Home/Basic version of Windows 10. You can manipulate things with Windows 10 Pro. Like I said before, you can install gpedit.msc onto the Home edition, but it won't change anything. I know, I tried, and the only thing I can do is set up my laptop for a metered...

Yes, that is what I meant, but I agree it came out confusing. What I meant to say is that it is free for a year if you decide to get it within that year, but if you wait until the next year, then it's no longer free.
