So as an update, they found an open box one of these on Amazon for ~$115, and they're gonna just hope and pray that it's functional. As for mine, probably will be sold for parts on Ebay, I'm gonna guess somewhere around $50-80, hopefully they can...
I agree with what you're saying, at least in the present. However, I think we've all seen these companies play a very long game these days. And so for now I think you're right: they probably just need that language to provide some services for...
I think that's one of those one-off unicorn deals, kind of like I got my open box X670E Mag Carbon for 200$. They're pretty rare. If anything, the open box GPUs at both of the MCs near me are ironically overpriced.
That's pretty appealing. 10TB is too low for me to jump on despite the price, but 14TB would be a nice slot in.
That's kind of what I'd be worried about with these as well. That said, normally you would get something like WD Purple drives for...
Oh, I think it's even worse these days. I'm sure everyone is noticing that ever since Covid (and hell, quite a bit before then) there is a serious lack of trust both from employees to employers and then employers to employees. A lot of young...
Yeah, my work laptop is actually Ryzen. They're out there, but Ryzen is more rare to begin with.
Here's the Microcenter Laptops page:
And then if I narrow it down to Nvidia GPUs:
And a 4090 for high end laptops:
For the record here's a...
Soooooooo it's just a laptop with MEOW written all over it? The desktop is at least kind of fun.
Interestingly, I've been looking at laptops lately, and AMD actually has some pretty nice GPUs in the laptop market. The 7900 laptop edition...
They said they felt like they actually didn't push in all that hard. But yeah the socket looked symmetrical to them, despite me repeatedly telling them that it was slightly off (by design). But I don't know how they did this, though. Part of me...
And I just can't help but realize how short-sighted I was while helping them. There are just so many things that I take for granted due to my experience with building. They had poor lighting which probably lead to this. I have headlamps that I've...
I wanted to thank everyone for helping out. Unfortunately things didn't go too great. I mean my packing job was pretty good, but some issues cropped up when they were building it.
First the minor stuff, I'll put it in spoiler because this isn't...
I said "in my experience." As in, I was just relating what I've seen personally. The aim wasn't ever to "convince you". Frankly I don't remember the sites and I'm not going to use that much time to dig them up just to give you proof. You can stay...
I meant the base browser. I have had plenty of ads slip past the base browser. Some sites get very creative with it. No, I'm not going to sit here for an hour digging through my history to find them for you. You either take my word that there are...
In my experience, Brave isn't all that great. It's okay for basic stuff, but Firefox is literally unbeatable in this arena. I've had a lot of stuff slip past Brave.
Even on Android, Firefox now supports a majority of the extensions I care about...
Tbh I haven't had a gaming experience I would consider "smooth" since a cheap CRT. Even this currently 120Hz LG C3 has noticeable blur to me. It's better than LED, and I'm keeping it around for the blacks, but it's still at the end of the day not...
Yeah, I made that point a long time ago. If you lined up the 40 series prices on release, the 4090 was actually the only one that kind of made sense. It was top tier flagship price for top tier flagship performance, and at the 4080's release...
I wonder if we're going to eventually have a bunch of "account squatters" in Steam. I'm sure many of these accounts will eventually get hacked and leaked. Person would just try to find ones that stopped being used for a long time. Normally it...
Going to just reuse the topic: the 6650XT is also about $220 at the moment:

Good for an even lower budget.
Edit:went up by 10$ now though.
Wait, your wife actually paid 200$ for an activation key? Wtf that is so much money wasted. That's literally a GPU tier's worth, I think. Brand new Windows Pro from a retailer is less than that.
Microsoft's per motherboard clauses are bullshit...
Probably. Right now AAA games are extremely cost prohibitive to make. If you can have AI fill in a lot of the effort, we might see indie level studios able to output actual AAA level titles, which would hopefully usher in a new age of creativity...
