Storytime - How I Remotely Melted a Laptop

Similar to the new Acer Aspires. They vent hot air out the back, directly infront of the screen (when opened). I've had to limit games to 30FPS, not overcharge and do everything possible to reduce thermal signature. Otherwise the heat will cause the screen to go dark near the vent and wipe out the L

Thanks FITGIRL! Ghost of Tsushima is running unbelievably smooth on my so-called “potato” laptop with no FPS drops and graphics set to very high. Truly an amazingly optimized and well-compressed game.

Acer Nitro or aspire with RTX is not a potato laptop. And just to clear this up, FitGirl only repackages games to save download size. She doesn’t optimize or fix performance issues, that’s the game developer’s job.

I mix up the Buttons for changing brightness on my laptop pretty much every time I want to use them

Same with the Aspire (Acer)

T-thank you Demoman... Pyro... Sp-Spy...... *starts crying* thank you team fortress 2...

Man, this game has been part of my life in one way or another for almost a decade and a half at this point. It's bittersweet to know it's finally at an end, at least story-wise. Dip out now if you don't want to read three paragraphs of me crying over a hat game. First time I played TF2, I was a lite

Firefox 32-bit Linux Support to End in 2026

I have an Acer Aspire One that's still running i686, you insensitive clod! And I still use it! However, I don't use it for web browsing; that would be incredibly painful. I used to perform comedy and produce comedy shows, and I had a custom-written clock display showing comics when it was time to wr

Can Linux breathe new life into this laptop?

I second using AntiX. Probably will have to use the 32 bit distro like I did on an old Acer Aspire One.

Tá caro esse note que estou vendendo?

Cara com todo respeito, seu preço está um absurdo de caro, acho impossível você vender ele por esse valor. Minha namorada comprou um Acer aspire 5 com ryzen 7 5700u(2 cores e 4 threads a mais que o seu cpu), placa integrada Vega 7, 16gb de ram 3200mghz e 512gb de ssd nvme(dobro do seu e ainda tem es

I completely forgot we could do this!!

As everyone is more interested in how it's running so smoothly. Laptop: ACER Aspire 5 Intel® Core™ i7, 8gb ram. But I have changed the NVIDIA settings, setting a max FPS of 60 and changing something to do with memory and ram. The biggest boost has been downloading Razer Cortex to run the game throug
