What is DMA? Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a feature that gives some computer components high-speed access to your RAM without having to communicate with the CPU and OS. This avoids taxing the CPU and OS with the data transfer and, as the name suggests, allows for direct communication between the component and system memory....

The Dell G5 15 SE (and the standard Dell G5 15) received a major revamp last year that made it another standout budget option and Dell caught our eye at CES this year when it announced that the 2020 G5 15 SE would feature an AMD CPU and GPU. Let’s take a look at what Dell has in store for the budget gaming laptop market in 2020. The best gaming monitors in 2020Best gaming laptops 2020Best gaming deals of May 2020...

The company placed last in this year’s Best and Worst Gaming Brands category, due to tired, uninspired designs from its Inspiron Gaming line. The good news is that the new G Series line addresses some, but not all, of our complaints. Reviews (24/40) We saw only three gaming laptops from Dell this year, none of which managed to score above 3.5 stars. The standout was undoubtedly the Dell G3 15 Gaming (3 stars), which offers a new design language that sets itself apart from the Inspiron line....

Design The Inspiron 17’s gray aluminum lid features a shiny bevelled edge and Dell Logo and a sparkling finish that shines when it catches the light. Its metallic keyboard deck features a brushed-metal finish, and another reflective metallic edge wraps around its touchpad. Measuring 16.2 x 10.9 x 0.9 inches and weighing 6.4 pounds, the Dell Inspiron 17 7000 is massive, and something of a rarity, being the only 17-inch 2-in-1 we’ve seen in a very long time....

However, there are a couple of drawbacks. First, it’s $200. It’s a pricey proposition considering one of our all-time favorite webcams is available for $70. Second, the UltraSharp, for all its bells and whistles, lacks a microphone, which might not matter to some people but it’s something that you’d expect at the price point. Still, the Dell UltraSharp Webcam is one of the best external webcams I’ve used and is worth every penny....

The problem causing this was simple: A digital security certificate that verified the integrity of Firefox add-ons and extensions expired. As a safety measure, the add-ons and extensions were automatically disabled by the browser. Widely used Firefox extensions such as Netflix, NoScript, Ghostery, uBlock Origin and LastPass were reported to no longer work starting at midnight universal time Saturday, May 4, when the certificate expired. That would have been 1:00 a....

Wireless Connector Docking In a concept demo at its booth, DisplayLink hooked up a Lattice Snap Chip to the bottom of a Dell XPS 13. Another of the chips was on the dock, and when the laptop sat on the dock, the peripheral sent the display signal to dual 4K displays without a hitch. While the dock itself is still wired to the monitors, the laptop is now free from cables....

First off, I wouldn’t know how to cheat even if I wanted to. Secondly, I am a Dark Souls nut. I live and breathe for the challenge of dying and trying again to get good enough to persevere. Cheating is not fun, and my name will not be slandered, damn it! The only explanation I can think of is that I was hacked. Of course, when I asked for proof, EA would not provide any....

EZQuest USB-C Multimedia Hub price and availability Compared with the Kensington SD1650P USB-C 4K Portable Docking Station’s $109.99 price tag, the Multimedia Hub is nearly half the price while still offering the same set of features. Plugable’s impressively affordable USB-C hub is priced from around $30, but it doesn’t offer reliable pass-through power like EZQuest’s does. Overall, this is a fair price, only made better when it gets discounted. EZQuest USB-C Multimedia Hub design Taking cues from Apple and many other USB-C hub manufacturers — such as Plugable and Kensington — to pique the interest of MacBook owners, the EZQuest USB-C Multimedia Hub comes in a sleek, space gray design with an anodized aluminum finish....

This ransomware often masquerades as faux Windows 10 updates, and once an unwitting victim clicks on the malicious link thinking they’re installing a legit version of Windows, a file-encrypting malware is downloaded onto the target’s PC. How does Magniber ransomware behave? A cybercriminal group named Magniber (hence the name Magniber ransomware) injected malicious, deceptive links into a fake Windows 10 update website. Once a quarry clicks on one of the infected links, they’re toast....
