  Nvidia’s Mining Limiter Hacked LHR GPUs now can mine 70% more by Admin on August 17 The latest version of Ethereum Mining tool (NBMiner) managed to hack Nvidia’s LHR (Lite Hash Rate), limiting the miners’ hash rate. NBMiner manages to increase the performance of the GPUs with LHR up to 70%, although the developers recommend capping out at 68% for stability. This hack will work with the latest Nvidia drivers on Windows and Linux, although NBMiner currently supports only the EthHash algorithm, future updates may be included with other algorithms to mine with LHR enabled GPUs and also expected to get more performance through LHR enabled Graphic Cards. So this is not a good move for the gamers who are trying to buy the budget gaming graphics cards such as Nvidia’s RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti will suddenly be a good choice for miners again fo the miners will pick the cards and there will be less stock in the market for gamers to buy.

10 Things to do on your New Laptop

Here are the 10 first and important things to do when you get a new laptop, following points will help you to run your Personal Computer at its best performance. 


Please follow the below 10 things to do on your New Laptop and I have 3 Extra things at last.


Register the Product


Registering your new Laptop/Desktop on the manufacturer's website will be a good idea if you are a traveler. If you have any trouble with your device and get an online support assistant through the manufacturer. Also to track your warranty period you need to register your device under your email. 


Update Operating System (Windows/Linux/macOS) and Drivers


System updates are the First thing to do after registration whether the Laptop/Desktop is bought from the manufacturer or a reseller. This will update and install the latest features and security patches for the Operating system.


  • How to check for Windows Updates

    • Go to Settings > Update & Security and click Windows Updates.


  • How to check for macOS Updates

    • Click on the Apple menu in the upper-left corner and choose System Preferences > Software Update.


Update and review Antivirus Software


Windows 8/8.1/10 all will come with their Virus and Threat Protection built-in called "Windows Defender" which is good for home use for most users who cannot afford Antivirus Software, but if you want you can purchase some Strong Antivirus Guards online. So it is better to Update the Virus Guard to protect your data.


MacOS Doesn't come with built-in Virus Protection but you can purchase it online.


Remove Bloatware


Bloatware means the unnecessary software/application which is pre-installed with the operating system. Removing these applications may increase performance and free up some storage space.

Setup Anti Theft settings


Anti Theft setup you need to protect your data from stealing because if you will lose or someone steals your laptop/desktop you will not only lose your device, you will lose the data with it, so setting Anti-theft Control on your computer is an important step. 


Windows and macOS both have their built-in Anti-Theft features. Which allows you to locate your device.


Windows is located at Settings --> Update & Security--> Find My Device. 

macOS is located at System Preferences --> Apple ID --> and select iCloud and enable Find My Mac


Optimizing System Performance and Power


Optimizing your laptop for better performance on either battery and plugged in is an important step. Because laptops are built to use as portable machines, the battery life is important and the performance while using your device on battery.

Using Balanced or Power Save profiles will help to reduce battery drain mostly on Windows 10 the profiles that are generated automatically are the best but if you want you can adjust the profiles manually.


Setting up and Sync Email/iCloud - Cloud Storage


Setting the email on your device will automatically sync your system settings on the cloud and also this is a part of the Anti-Theft setup on your device. By setting Cloud Storage on your device you can save your data on the cloud and this is mostly used on portable devices because if the device is physically damaged still you can access your important data from the cloud storage.


Personalizing system appearance


Personalizing your laptop/desktop changing Desktop wallpaper system, themes, accent color, lock screen, lock screen time, screen saver, fonts, etc...


Configure Automatic Backups/System Restore Points


After all the above steps and before you start to use your laptop/ desktop the last thing is to do create an automated system restore point/system backup, by creating a system restore point you will be able to restore the system in case if your operating system stops working or any error occurred on your system you can restore to a previous restore point which was backed up. 


Application Installation 


Now you can start installing the applications you need from the Application Store or any other source.


Windows --> Microsoft Store

MacOS --> App Store

Extra Tips


Using a VPN service


A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is used to encrypt your connection through the device to the internet and protects from eavesdroppers and its while using a VPN it's hard to trace your online activities and also you can browse the internet by connecting the VPN with different regions which some contents are blocked on your region.


Cleaning (If you purchase a used Laptop/Desktop)


If you bought a used Laptop/Desktop you need to make sure the device's cooling system is not clogged with dust because the system performance will reduce by the cooling system, if the fans and the motherboard are clogged with dust make sure to clean it with vacuumed air and using a brush.
