    My wallpaper thread.

    Just scrolled through this entire thread. Seeing the EVGA ones made me sad.

    Windows 11 Market Share Keeps Declining

    Maybe that will work at home. But in the Business world, and Cyber Insurance world, there is a legal concept called "contributory negligence". If you do something that you know will but you in a spot that could contribute to a cyber attack, ransomware, etc they could deny your cyber insurance...

    Some Intel CPUs lost 9% of their performance almost overnight

    This is no different that Diesel gate with VW. Do WHATEVER you need to do to win. Even if it means doing something ridiculous like zero power limits. It's sad that Intel's last place of dominance was on the upper end desktop CPUs. Now? They have even tarnished that. If Dell Latitude's...

    No thread about the framework laptop?

    Just upgraded to the February driver pack for the Ryzen 13 and BIOS 3.05. So far so good. My pre-OS environment times are much shorter now. I used to see the Windows 11 "circle thingie" while booting. Now it barely shows or not at all before I'm at the log in prompt. Pretty nice!

    New AMD Mobo BIOS - Update AMD AGESA 1.1.7.0 for Next Generation Ryzen™ processors support.

    My system is running just fine. I'm not messing with BIOS to gain support for processors that have yet to even be released to the public.

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Unless the new design has 3d vcache on both CCDs I don't see how this is going to overcome the latency issues.

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    I've said this out loud and I'm immediately an old crotchety boomer for saying it. VR is like 3d movies. Anytime you need to put something on your face to enjoy it the appeal will diminish quickly. I'm so effing tired of people always jumping on the new fad and thinking it's going to change...

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

    holy crap... I didn't realize you could even still buy tape decks. But Amazon is loaded with them!

    Microcenter is coming back to the Bay Area!!!

    If Miami with all it's sketchyness turns out to be a great location I can't fathom Orlando not getting one. Orlando is a solid town with a lot of upper middle class residential.

    Power outage monitor that works? Known reliable from personal experience?

    It's just on the circuit. The freezer is plugged into a normal outlet.

    Microcenter is coming back to the Bay Area!!!

    I know you were most likely joking. But I'd rather go without. I hate waiting in line for anything.

    Microcenter is coming back to the Bay Area!!!

    Microcenter isn't perfect but I try to give them business when I can. Having zero local retail parts available can be a pain at times. My 990 Pro and 7800x3d in my current build were sourced at MC.

    Fastest VPN? (Torrenting)

    I also signed up for the free Proton. I have a vpn at home that tunnels me home. But to access content from other countries VOD services I too am thinking about expanding to the paid option.
