    Opinion: Could Broadcom buy Intel

    No one is buying intel. Lina Khan ain't allowing M&A these days...and even if she allowed it then the EU and UK would have to sign off. How long did Microsoft and Activision take? The Adobe figma deal died because it couldn't get through.

    Video camera recording system

    I need some help getting pointed in the right direction... We have a remote farm that we want to mount a couple of cameras. One camera as a sort of area shot the other more directly at the ground. When it looks stormy, then be able to watch or pull up archived footage to look for hail. The...

    10gb questions….

    I can echo this... When I got my house back in 2009, I ran a ton of cat5e all over the house. Every room has multiple cat5e drops because I don't trust wifi. About a year ago, built a nas and did iSCSI over 10gbe for the gaming computers to store the games. I thought 'well, either my cat5e...

    Asus Hero Crosshair X570 VIII vs. MSI Meg B550 Unify for 5950X

    I too have a couple of 5950xs. I think one is better, but it seems when I actually put the screws to them they are about the same. Both are under water with PBO enabled and a custom set core offset. With some time (mainly at night when you sleep) running core cycler you can get each core...

    Oldest gamer I know

    my grandfather would be 99 this year...he died in 2008 from dementia. He bought an apple II when they came out and played the helicopter game with the two paddles. It wasn't a powerful enough machine, so he quickly got an at&t 6300 (I think) and got MS flight sim and monopoly. His favorite...

    Target joins Best Buy and discontinues sales of DVD's and Blurays

    I'm not surprised. That said, I still only buy physical media. I have a 120in screen and a projector with an atmos system in the basement with an oppo 4K player that made getting a GPU during the apocalypse look easy. Streamed content is wonky...especially in the black parts of a picture...

    Need advice on packing an open box motherboard for a friend

    I use pirate ship to figure out shipping....sometimes a regular box is cheaper than a flat rate box. I've seen where cardboard packed over the cpu socket has been used when there isn't the guard. Maybe you could go back/call and ask microcenter if they have any spare guards.

    Cities Skylines 2

    That is gross... So my 5950x is like 75% of a 14900k, I should be able to get 250k. a 5950x is just two 5800x put together...so now we are down to 125k. I have an fx4300...maybe I can recreate White Bluffs, Washington

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    So you're like me...want one but don't really have a purpose. Heck, that is why I have a 5950x. A 5800x would be just find....I can only spend money so fast on Amazon.

    So, what are you rocking for VR?

    I prefer the google imagery in both situations to bing. i also use google earth a lot for work stuff, so it may be familiarity.

    So, what are you rocking for VR?

    Flight sim with google earth instead of bing maps mod is amazing in VR.

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Nice. I want one, although I'm not sure what for exactly... I have a 5950x and a 3090 and the toughest thing I play is heavily modded minecraft.
