Inland Dock Firmware Updater?
Q. Does Inland have a firmware updater for their docking stations… that runs on Windows 11? I have an Inland docking station I bought as an open box. In the past week, it has started to cycle… at least cycles both external display connections. Hmmm… I do not think the fans on my Kootek laptop stand stop for even a moment……

Intel or AMD? I would argue AMD right now.
If anyone is looking at a new PC, I would strongly encourage you get an AM5 AMD system. Intel is changing sockets for the next gen desktop CPUs which means you will not be able to upgrade to new gens with a current gen motherboard. AM4 lasted 6 years ish, AM5 will give you plent of cheap upgrade options going forward, plus…

Need to file a complaint with the service dept / extended warranty usage
I shop at micro center not because your prices are good but because you offer a 2-3 year warranty on products at +/-10% cost. This is really appealing to me as I don't want to wait 1-2 weeks on shipping from an online retailer if I have an issue. I was told by the sells rep that I could use this warranty to get a refund…
