With the investments Microsoft and others are doing, of course it's going to force it into Windows to pay for that investment. It's like the old Metallica song - "Harvester of data!" or something like that. I'm fine with having things like that, even on by default, but there really needs to be...

If it's for public sale, I don't think it would. I think it should be completely anonymous and no real user information, though. If it includes PII then it shouldn't be available for purchase without a warrant. It SHOULD be against the 4th Amendment but I don't think it is.

It's not skirting the 4th Amendment. Anyone with enough money can buy that data, private or public sector. We voluntarily give up that data and allow them to sell it to third parties. We allowed that to happen and it's all legal. If you don't consent to it and it's part of Amazon Sidewalk and...

Adding to this (found another guide that's very similar: https://www.reddit.com/r/StremioAddons/comments/15agu2p/stremio_torrentio_debrid_a_howto_guide/ ) Installing CyberFlix: The Catalog Scrapper CyberFlix is an addon that will create categories for your Stremio homepage. It'll pull, for...

Let's see how it plays Global Thermonuclear War and then I'll decide. I only want it to reach one conclusion. I can see it working for gaming. A lot of gaming AI isn't that great. Some of it that is fairly good is still just decent but not great. Going up in difficulty doesn't make the AI...

I'll buy fittings and lube there (explains the itch), but never a component. No CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM, anything of that nature. I don't care if it's legit or not, just not worth the chance. Could be a gold mine of value, but it's like tapping a hooker on her "first time"... Probably a load of...

This is asked in pretty much every thread of his. So, yea. Someone has told him. Also, in for 2 pillows. If this doesn't increase my kill ratio, I'm fucking giving up. My last pillow had a little hole in it, though. I'm not seeing one in this one. Maybe a feature request?

Just found NOLF (No One Lives Forever) has a revival, so I grabbed that and will be playing that this weekend! Fuck yea. http://nolfrevival.tk Great game from a while back. I miss some of those style of games from back in the day.

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. They were some of the best. I remember having rebadged ones (TDK 12x drive, I believe). So much better than the 4x I had before to where you couldn't touch the PC when it was burning a CD because it'd use too much memory and fuck the buffer up...

That's what I got from it without reading the article. Only applies in California... Some people are looking for a problem where none exists... I know my TCL for the bedroom has a similar thing. It's not an actual 120Hz, but it's an "effective" refresh rate. It was super cheap, I didn't expect...

If that "priced at $2000" wasn't there and it was a <$1K card, I'd say it would be a killer card. Beating a 4090 in 2025 at $2K? Ok. Not very excited. Not even "Meets or exceeds expectations". More of "Needs Improvement".

These look pretty cool. I'm sure some cases would have more use than I would for them. I'd probably just use one on the back of the case with a temp on there. No video, though. I'd just want the simple temperature gauge, which I could easily find elsewhere in other products.

Coming from a GTX1070 and just got in a new CPU/MB/RAM (AMD 7800x3D, Taichi Lite, 32GB DDR5 CAS30), I'm going to grab a 4070 Super if it hits at <$600. I game at 1440p and really need a good upgrade that'll last me a few years. But, purchase time is around March/April so what's best at that $600...

30 years in the IT industry, from system admin to building PC's to security engineer and everything in between. Now, I'm building my own PC's and won't work on other people's computers for the most part (kids/family excluded, I'll help them out). Still not really an IT pro, though. Just a guy...

No way I need something like this. I would never take advantage of it. But, I really want it. I'd be running so many things that I didn't need or would even utilize, but I'd have a real kick ass virtualization box with dozens of VM's just sitting there idle. :) I do see some old 10+ year old...

For me, I don't care if the 5090 is twice as fast. I just want some good midrange cards that actually perform better than the previous generation at a normal price with decent VRAM amounts and bandwidth. If it's "only" 20% faster, then it's just the same thing as previous generations, nothing...

I know even with the OLD processors (6502, Z80, 68000) there are a lot of counterfeits. I don't think I'd trust AliExpress with anything intricate like a CPU/GPU. It MIGHT be a good deal and legit, but I'd rather just get it from someone I know is 99.9% legit and would back it up in case of any...

I am finally going to be upgrading in January. I've loved Intel for a long time, but went with AMD with the AMD K6/2 and then the Athlon 64+. Other than that, it's been all Intel (ignore the Cyrix "Pentium Killer"). But, the lackluster performance on this and still requiring a complete upgrade...

I went from a 2600K to a 7700K. I'm looking to upgrade again. This thing does excellent for most things. But, I need more memory, more cores, and a better GPU. So, taking that as time to just build a whole new machine. Unreal Engine needs a lot more resources to build simple games, so that's a...

I love eye candy. I always have. Old school bump mapping, the old AA/AF settings, now ray tracing. I want all the eye candy. It's always been a huge hit in performance at first. After a few generations, it's just standard fare and just a part of the feature set with normal frame rates. Right...

I liked their video cards when they were ATi. I liked their older CPUs (haven't used AMD since the Athlon 64 days). As a company, they're just trying to compete with Intel and NVIDIA. They want to profit and be a major competitor just like every other company. My company prices things...

Wasn't there a more recent Tomb Raider movie that didn't do too well, or was that Dora the Explorer? It has plenty of potential. Not sure if it'd be worth $600 mill, but I can see it being a pretty good show for a few seasons if they did it right. It also has a lot of potential to be done...

Should have told him you were FighterAce124 .

It really sucks, but you're right. Reviews are never going to be the same. From both stances. Removing the MSRP comparison (from current offerings to past ones, or each other) is a big one. I usually go for the best bang for my buck. I have no real brand loyalty. So, this is going to be a bit...

"Where is it saved?" Look it up. Find the answer yourself. What research have you already done to find them? If none, I'll be back in 30 minutes. If you still haven't found the answer, I'll help. Help yourself first. That's what I told my kids when they were little. They started modding...

It's irrelevant to my point. It could be anything. Concert tickets, dildos, whatever. Just doing what you can to control the supply so you're the only one that is selling it. I find those that sell the Tickle Me Elmo's and similar hot items just as bad. Buying for the sole purpose of selling...

It's not the scalping that I have a problem with. I'm all for reselling. I'm not for manipulating the supply and price gouging. If they are buying the stock of things and controlling the price on the market, I'm out. High demand and then some groups control the supply and control the pricing...

I bought a Switch a few months ago. I knew a newer one was coming out. Glad I didn't wait. I use mine docked for the majority of gaming. When I do play it portable, I don't care much about the difference in screens. However, if I were to be buying one brand new right now (well, October), I'd get...

Not a shocker. Once Facebook bought Oculus, we all knew it would happen. I was leery of buying one because of Facebook. Now, there's absolutely no way I'm buying one. Vive is now my option, which is great. Facebook basically said "buy our competitors product". This move made that decision for...

I'd hate that. Can't install with physical media. Can't install downloaded apps. Can't make a simple program and run it on your own PC. Can't install anything offline. It just puts a lot of limitations on things (basically a really closed iOS style OS). More secure, more stable? I'd say yes...

You can move the start button to the left. It's just default in the center. More customization that I like. It's still an early build, so it'll have a lot of updates to make it better. I have it installed on a VM and it works just fine. It's Windows 10 but prettier. Don't know why it's such a...

Love/Hate it. I like the rounded corners, center icons, etc.. However, I like other versions of Windows for their simplicity, their function over form, etc.. I like eye candy in my OS (Vista, Aero Glass), but the artsy look over the functional look just bugs me. Sometimes, I like the raw...

For which part? Waiting for 4000 series or waiting for 3080 prices to come down? :)

Chucklefuck. LOL. That's a new one for me. :D

Pussy. :D Yea, I'm still gaming at 1080p and 60fps is a nice goal. Still rocking the old GTX1070 (which broke, then came back to life...). I'm happy with how things are, but they could be better. It's not a disconnect from reality. A lot of us got that attitude from the old days of...

This is [H]. 16/32. MINIMUM. 64GB RAM, 12GB VRAM minimum. We don't fuck around. There is no overkill. 6 or 8 core? Newb. I'm still on 4/8, but need to move up. Not in any big rush as I need a GPU upgrade (so, realistically looking to a 3-4 year wait on that upgrade...). By the time I do get...

My 1070 died. I can't even find a 1000 series, much less a couple year old RTX 2000 series or 3000 without going 3x MSRP at least. I'm borrowing my sons 2060 right now. Screw scalpers. They do have people by the balls, but I refuse to play. I'm waiting to replace mine. I'm very lucky to have...

I just threw out so much DDR, DDR2, DDR3 RAM. Trying to clean up all my old shit. Sat around for a long time with no use. So, just chucked it. Along with MB's, CPU's, old video cards, tons of cables, a few cases.... I was becoming a hoarder. Now, I just have my systems I use and that's it.

From RTX to Tickle Me Elmo to knock off Gucci. The reason that market exists is because of people willing to pay inflated prices. Buy up the stock to lower the supply while demand is high and sell it back to them. If people didn't buy from scalpers, the supply would remain low until they had so...

Reminds me of the old 8/16 bit games. The 16 bit arcade games were great on the 16 bit consoles. The 8 bit? Not so much. Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Sonic the Hedgehog, Altered Beast we all great on the Genesis. Not so much on the Master System. You get a lower quality game on the lower end...
