Introduction

Download Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 Windows 8.1 Driver (X-Input)
Hmm… How to solve Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 on Windows 8.1 issue? My PC can’t seem to detect Logitech F710 correctly with X-Input mode even with official Logitech Gaming Software. No issue on D-Input mode though, run smoothly. Most of the PC Windows games support XBOX controller only. And F710 with X-Input mode is the only way to play them. Games can’t find F710 with D-Input mode as the controller. Well, you can use XBOX 360 controller emulator but that’s not the friendly way.
Extreme Gaming & Video Editing Computer System
Is PC industry dying? Nope, I just upgraded my extreme gaming and video editing computer system. Previous PC system serves me well for the past 6 years. And it is still able to do basic office, blogging and surfing tasks. But slow for 3D gaming and of course video, photo editing as well. There are still tasks that cannot be done by tablet and smartphone. So here you are – my latest extreme gaming and video editing computer system. You will need a powerful multi core CPU for fast video editing. Enough memory so that it won’t slow down when hard drive page file kicks in. SSD to speed up the whole process as normal HDD is usually the bottleneck that slows the whole system down. Therefore, slow HDD but big capacity is used for data storage and backup only. And SSD is for Windows OS and storage for ongoing tasks. Fast GPU is required for extreme gaming of course. And finally you will need good cooling system to let you increase performance further by overclock them…
Access other PC with Chrome Remote Desktop
Remote desktop function is available on Windows platform long time ago. I always use it when I was a system engineer to troubleshoot server issue remotely. A great tool for IT support. Personally, I prefer Windows Remote Desktop function as it is a lot faster than realtime screen sharing mode like VNC provides. Both have pros and cons. Realtime screen sharing mode is preferred when other remote access to your PC for support / troubleshooting because you can see what he is going at the same time. Guest what? Google has a same tool too – Chrome Remote Desktop.
