I have the Homeworld Remastered Collectors' Edition, including the kickass Mothership statue. It has LEDs that light up via a USB plug. Is it safe to plug this into an Apple AC to USB adapter or similar, or do I run the risk of burning it out somehow?

My mom needs an articulating sit/stand desk mount with keyboard&mouse tray that can support a 27" monitor without breaking the bank. Wondering what's best quality. I would go for Ergotron but yeah, loving expensive.

In the same vein, wondering what the best USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 dock is for the Macbook Pro 15" Touch Bar: looking to pass through 4k60hz, power, and a keyboard, don't need anything else.

Can you still buy mini-ITX boards compatible with an i7-7770k? I'm eyeing a Dan A4 case, and am down to buy a new mobo, but would rather not buy a new CPU.

I badly need a USB-C dock that's both Windows and Mac compatible; supports 2 monitors, one of which is 4k60 (on Windows anyway, thanks Timb); and has power delivery (cross platform)? There are a lot of negative reviews for docks/hubs with this feature set. Is there any particular model or brand people here recommend? Thanks.

A friend of mine is an aspiring pilot who can't afford a computer for MSFT and I'm thinking of giving it to her. I'd need to build something to replace it.

If I were poking around Facebook for parts, what's the sweet spot for a graphics card these days? I'm ideally looking to spend no more than about $850 on the whole build. I'm coming from a 1080ti and didn't feel a super strong need to upgrade, so I'm not expecting much.

Actually, maybe consider buying her an Xbox and keeping your computer if you're generally happy with it? I understand MSFS runs on an XBox reasonably well, but I've never used one so I have zero clue how it works with the controller, but I'm pretty sure you're going to want some input accessories.
Thanks, I had no idea about this option and it seems like the way to go!

I'm genuinely curious, how come you have four PS3s/PS4s?
