At least support for WEBP is spreading. My phone will let me attach it to texts, Windows built-in photo viewer has been able to display it for a while (though I'm not sure if supports animated/video webp yet). And there's a plug-in to let Irfanview handle it. Still a damn annoying format, but...

It doesn't even have to be every single unit. If, hypothetically, 10% of the units are faulty, that's still way above what I've read is the average (about 1 - 5% within the warranty period). Getting two duds in a row would still be a 1 in 100 chance, but far from implausible.

My pet theory, and it's based on very little, is that something went wrong with assembly/manufacture (newbie bending pins? A batch of bad capacitors? who knows.) A $150 instant rebate making an already good price into a too-good-to-be-true deal? Maybe CyberPowerPC knows there are issues, and...

The dud PC has gotten so bad that it can't even fully load the desktop, except in safe mode. A normal boot starts to freeze before the system tray icons load in, and bluescreens into a reboot shortly after. I can't even get it to restore Windows, it just says that something went wrong. It runs...

Went ahead and ordered this one.

Costco's listed specs are wrong, too. It's only got 1 place for a 5" internal drive, not two. And that's just screw holes in the bottom of the case. Anyway, does anyone know what MSI's current reputation is, and what does anyone think of this deal? MSI AEGIS R 13NUD-461US (i7-13700F RTX...

It's a B760M C and I have updated the BIOS to the latest version. I'll check on the rest of your advice after I shower and lie down for a while. Even after over a week of being sick, I took a turn for the worse today. EDIT: the SSD is Western Digital, from memory, but I'll get you specifics later.

I'm still sick, so this really sucks. I don't feel competent to be doing this right now, but I don't want to be without a PC any longer than I have to be. I'm typing this post on my Raspberry Pi while watching a movie on my phone. Anyway, specs of the PC I have now that is crashing: Intel i5...

I'll keep looking. Upgrading later has historically been an issue. It'd probably be easier to try to get any sort of gaming capable card now, than do an upgrade later.

I don't have to buy from Costco, and I'm pretty sure I want a desktop. I have thought about a Steam Deck, but I'm hesitant to have a Linux handheld as my only PC. Especially since I would not use it's portable features much.

I'm fucking exhausted. If I can convince my mom that I should just buy a different computer all together, can anyone help me figure out a good pre-built to buy for ~$850 or less? It's really hard to shop around for a PC when your PC isn't working.

I'm going to try to talk my mother into doing just that. She doesn't want to abuse Costco's return policy, but this really seems to be a case of a defective product line. My latest re-install of Windows has started crashing again, and I've only got Firefox, Chrome and Steam installed. I though...

Missouri, Kansas, And Idaho Are Suing The FDA Because They Don't Have Enough Teen Moms "In a recently filed lawsuit against the FDA over their rule changes regarding abortion medication, the states of Missouri, Idaho, and Kansas argue, for real, that they have been harmed by the rule changes...

One of my small victories lately has been replacing the ear pads on my Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones. They're over a dozen years old, and the covering started falling apart and exposing the foam inside. I replaced them with leather pads, and they feel so nice. I'm glad I spent a little bit...

Sing Thriller This is a short based on the Sing movies (computer animated animals in a jukebox musical). If you like those movies, you'll probably like this short. My only complaint is that I want more. It's just the one song. Michael Jackson's Thriller is great, but I would have liked more spooky.

A video about Windows games that have been ported to run on Anbernic, Powkiddy, and other handheld gaming devices: I initially thought this might be about translation layers like Box86, but it's about games that have been ported to run natively on ARM (usually specific devices). So it's...
