Don't Sleep on the Deleted Scenes From Your Favorite Shows

1 week ago | howtogeek.com | Ismar Hrnjicevic

Deleted scenes are cut for various reasons like time constraints, pacing, or not aligning with the artistic direction of the show. Deleted scenes offer deeper insights into the characters, offer more background, and can sometimes significantly alter the main plot or ending. Find deleted scenes on YouTube, streaming services, or physical copies of DVDs for high-quality viewing and bonus content. I used to think that deleted scenes in movies and TV shows were removed for a reason.

The Start Menu is a central part of the Windows experience, giving you quick access to your apps and settings. If the default layout in Windows 11 doesn’t quite match your preferences, there are ways to customize it to better fit your needs.

Integrated GPUs in laptops are capable of running many lighter games. A simple RAM upgrade can significantly improve gaming performance on work laptops. Business laptops can easily handle esports titles, indie games, and older releases. When you’re buying a business or student laptop, gaming probably isn’t high on your list of priorities. But what if I told you that nearly any laptop can handle games? In fact, it can offer a far more enjoyable experience than gaming on your phone.
I Didn't Think I Needed Noise-Canceling Headphones-Until I Tried Them

1 week ago | howtogeek.com | Ismar Hrnjicevic

I've been quite skeptical of noise-canceling technology for years. My cheap earbuds did a decent job of passively blocking noise, so I figured Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) wasn't worth the extra cost. However, a quick test of ANC immediately changed my mind. What Is Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) and How Does It Work? Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) headphones use microphones to pick up external sounds.
Why I Refuse to Let This 12-Year-Old TV Die

1 week ago | howtogeek.com | Ismar Hrnjicevic

My old 40-inch Sony Bravia TV still works and fulfills my needs. I repaired the TV for less than $20 twice, which is much cheaper than buying a new TV. Although I plan to upgrade to an OLED TV, I'll keep the old TV for use in another room. Most of us have a piece of tech that's laughably outdated, but we still refuse to let it go for one reason or another. For me, it's an old 40-inch Sony Bravia TV I bought used back in 2018. I just can’t bring myself to let it go. Here’s why.
Got an AMD CPU and Aren't Using PBO? You’re Missing Out

1 week ago | howtogeek.com | Ismar Hrnjicevic

Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) is a safe and easy way to increase CPU performance on AMD Ryzen chips. Enabling PBO provides a modest performance boost with potential gains varying based on CPU model. To maximize PBO benefits, invest in a good aftermarket cooler and motherboard with high-quality VRMs. Overclocking a new PC can be intimidating. You might wonder if it's even necessary, but leaving performance on the table feels even worse.
Stop Buying Cheap Laptops, Save Money By Doing This Instead

Cheap laptops under $150 offer little value and compromise on quality, such as poor displays and slow processors. Opt for used or refurbished laptops for better quality and value. Used laptops offer superior performance and features compared to new laptops in the same price range, making them a more worthwhile investment. If you urgently need a laptop for college or work, it’s tempting to scour the bargain bins at Walmart or scroll through the cheapest options on Amazon.
China’s New HDMI Alternative Is Fast, but Who Is It Really For?

2 weeks ago | howtogeek.com | Ismar Hrnjicevic

The GPMI standard has impressive bandwidth and power delivery capabilities of up to 192Gbps and 480W. Companies outside China are unlikely to adopt the GPMI standard due to strong alliances with HDMI. The upcoming HDMI 2.2 standard can do 12K at 120Hz, which is sufficient for most consumers. Somehow, it seems like the HDMI standard can't catch a break.
Forget Collecting Keyboards, I’m Obsessed With Switches and Keycaps

2 weeks ago | howtogeek.com | Ismar Hrnjicevic

Switches and keycaps are the real game-changers for keyboard sound and feel. Experimenting with different switches can completely transform your typing experience. Keycaps alter the sound, look, and feel of your keyboard, making them essential for customization. For many keyboard enthusiasts, the obsession usually lies in the board—its mounting style, the various sound-dampening materials, and aesthetics. But for me, it's all about the switches and keycaps.
Are Hall Effect Gaming Keyboards Worth It?

Hall Effect Keyboards offer numerous gaming-focused features like adjustable actuation points, rapid response times, and SOCD. Despite higher prices, Hall Effect Keyboards are worth the investment for pro players. If you're on a tight budget or not serious about competitive gaming, a mechanical keyboard with the right switches will still suffice.
