Quick question about window PC requirements for meta link cable?
Do I not have the right requirements? I finally got myself a link cable and was going to connect it to my computer, but it’s just not reading it and it’s saying, I don’t meet the updated minimum specifications. I have a: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU (sorry for being dumb I am)PaulloadMay 08, 2026Iron Contributor10Views0likes0CommentsIs it possible to run ryujinx canary on an administrator account on windows?
hi! I recently saw a tutorial for opening ryujinx (from extracted folder) when it isn't working, and the guys said that yu need to make a local acc for your pc. I'm wondering if there's anyway I can do this without doing that, because I'd have to redownload everything.ManstawayMay 08, 2026Copper Contributor19Views0likes0CommentsWhy Windows 11 still depends on 1990s code
Windows 11 looks modern on the surface. Rounded corners, AI features, redesigned menus, cloud integration, Copilot branding everywhere. Underneath all of that, Microsoft is still relying on core technology designed during the Windows 95 era. That is not speculation or internet nostalgia. Microsoft CTO Mark Russinovich recently acknowledged that the Win32 API, a programming foundation tied closely to Windows from the 1990s, remains deeply embedded in Windows 11. In many cases, everyday actions like right-clicking files or launching classic desktop apps still depend on that layer. For some people, this sounds alarming. In reality, it says more about how operating systems evolve than about Windows being outdated. Win32 never really went away Win32 became mainstream with Windows 95, although parts of it existed earlier in Windows NT. It gave developers a stable way to build desktop software for Windows. Once millions of applications started relying on it, replacing it became extremely difficult. Russinovich described Win32 as “bedrock” for Windows because entire ecosystems were built on top of it. That includes: business software used by corporations for decades creative tools and engineering applications games from multiple generations of Windows Microsoft’s own desktop products A huge part of Windows’ success came from backward compatibility. Users could often run software written years earlier without major issues. Businesses especially depended on that reliability.ZillmannMay 08, 2026Copper Contributor21Views0likes0CommentsWindows 11 Insider Program Download Update Beta Channel stuck at 99%
I already tried to restart my PC multiple times, reconnect wifi, clearing update cache, running DISM (it came out clean), stopping and restart Windows Update services, and simply waiting overnight, but it still stuck at 99% no matter what I do. I then tried to switch to Release channel and there was no problem there. Yet I can't install beta channel... Please help me guys I want to see what's inside Insider Program🤧 TIATraceceaMay 08, 2026Iron Contributor27Views0likes1CommentWindows download not working
Hey, I'm trying to download my whoosh for the first time on windows laptop - not the HD version. When I try to run it - it comes with few errors like that. Anyone had problem like this and how did you come up with the app working?TruimtpMay 08, 2026Copper Contributor42Views0likes1CommentThe Windows 10 update failed, so I'm planning to switch to Windows 11
Due to issues with the Windows 10 version, I’m unable to install ME and updates keep failing, so I plan to install Windows 11 directly. The available editions are Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Workstation. I primarily use video editing software like Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop, as well as mobile game emulators. I’d like to understand the differences, pros, and cons of each edition and am looking for recommendations on the most suitable one.JacksonRobinsonMay 08, 2026Copper Contributor39Views1like1CommentHow do I completely uninstall applications on a mac?
Hi everyone! I'm a total newbie to the mac ecosystem, and I'm a bit confused about the proper way to remove software. Coming from Windows 10, I'm used to a dedicated uninstaller app, but on my Mac, I've mostly just been dragging app icons from the Applications folder into the Trash. I'm worried that this method is leaving behind hidden folders, cache files, and library data that might clutter up my hard drive over time. Could someone please walk me through the best way to completely uninstall apps on mac? I'd like to know if there is a built-in Apple application I should be using, or if I need to manually hunt down leftover files in the system folders.StonehuMay 08, 2026Iron Contributor715Views0likes10CommentsThe Windows 11 Photos app cannot display the full image when viewing landscape-oriented photos
I just started using Windows 11, and I noticed that when I run a slideshow in the new Photos app, landscape-oriented images aren’t displayed in full (part of the image is automatically cropped), while portrait-oriented images display normally. Is this a settings issue? How can I fix it?Michael77May 08, 2026Iron Contributor21Views0likes0CommentsHelp! Please read on your Windows PC
Let me start off by saying I am in no way tech savvy, and thus far doing this completely on my own. I’m trying to update for decent gaming performance (some games are fine, but some get very bad FPS) I just bought “retro rewind - video store simulator” and the menu sections will be fine, but as soon as I’m walking around doing actual proper gameplay the frames per second drop prettyyyyy badly. So not unplayable, but pretty close to. I’ve messed with as much as I can with the games visual settings to hopefully put less pressure on graphics vs. performance but the fps is still painful AND now the game is ugly lol. Is this a lost cause? I used Rufus to manually update my incompatible circa 2013/2014 hp beats 15 notebook to Windows 11, that took all day, and it’s seemingly only step one. But I get this alert from steam, (image included) but then I can’t seem to get AMD to do anything. It will open but then there is nothing selectable within the window of the installer available to download on amd main drivers page(I forgot to get a photo of this) Or it’ll straight up just error code while alternatively trying to boot up the supposedly correct version for my laptop (but only labelled as for windows 10) (image included) The laptop is running on AMD Radeon(TM) HD 8510G. Version 15.201.1101.0 (8/6/2015)NicoleepMay 08, 2026Copper Contributor35Views0likes2CommentsPC keeps crashing when I try to play most games and I can't figure out why
All the errors seem memory related. It will also crash to a black screen but it always restarts before I can get a good look at the error message. I've reinstalled windows, I've tested both the RAM and all the Hard drives separately, I've tried "sfc /scannow" and "Windows Memory Diagnostic" but none of them have found any issue. I've run every test google has suggested but I can't remember which ones. None of them fixed my issue or gave me any indication that something is wrong.RogerMinnMay 08, 2026Copper Contributor52Views0likes3Comments
