Is the best way to avoid static charge when building a pc to just do it naked?

I mean think about it, no worrying about clothes or anything.

I think im onto something..

I'm doing schoolwork. Making music using DAWs and many MIDI plugins. And I would LOVE to game too.

I'm a noob. Please be nice.

Older laptop, OpenGL not supported?

Hello there,

I have an old laptop, Asus VivoBook X512DA. I bought it about six years ago now and everything had been running fine until a few months ago. It got hit with the W11 update and really struggles now. I used to play Terraforming Mars through Epic Games and it has become super laggy.

I recently got Chrono Trigger on Steam, thinking that would be easy enough for the laptop to handle, since it's an SNES game, but instead I'm given an error about OpenGL not being supported.

Is there anything I can do to fix up this laptop or is a whole replacement in order?

Edit: I've checked and my graphics drives are up to date.

Good Family Computer under $300?

US based: My boys are getting bigger and my wife actually needs a new laptop as well. Figured getting a family computer is the right play here. Goal is to have it be able to surf the internet, handle all the basic office stuff, play some light games like minecraft etc. Not looking to break the bank though. Didnt know if a desktop or a laptop will suit the bill better (or if I'm just being completely delusional at this price point LOL).

Didnt want a chrome book as I wanted something the boys can learn about computers with and those I find are a bit to heavy on the "Simple UI"
