Tax exempt but can't get tax refunded
Hello, I had a workstation repaired in January and, when I looked what I thought was the receipt, there was no tax.

Should I upgrade from the Ryzen 7 3700X to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D?
Apologies if I'm doing this wrong. Don't think I've ever utilized this community stuff. Wasn't sure what category to select. In addition to the Ryzen 7 3700X, I have 32GB of RAM and now an RTX 4080 up from an RTX 3070. I also swapped out my 850W PSU for a 1000W one. Is my Ryzen 7 3700X essentially bottlenecking my 4080?

Unfortunately, MC is a 4 hr round trip for me so I can't…

Network adapter issue with G472
I recently purchased the PowerSpec G472 a few days ago, and it's been great so far with one exception. From day 1, I immediately ran into an issue with the WiFi not working once I woke my PC from sleep mode. Restarting didn't fix the issue, so I thought it was my ISP at first, but no other devices in my house had issues,…
