    HOT - ASRock RX 9070 Challenger Triple Fan $579 @ Microcenter

    I'm glad I bought mine from Microcenter in February January when it was $499. "AI is good for you.", they said.

    GN: Collapse of Personal Computing - Investigation Into the Destruction of Ownership (video)

    Offtopic but maybe similar. Security of something I can "know" is better than security that I cannot "know", and even worse is security I cannot "control". So, while, sure, FOSS/OSS advocates all nod.... the latter is the situation with the "black box" device that all must have... that is, our...

    How to benchmark UT2004

    "The Living Dead Thread".... but, UT2004, in Linux land (native port), still works even on latest and greatest. And, it's still fun.

    How AI will fail

    Oddly, AI probably cuts out the middle manager even moreso than the worker bee. But again, in a short time, the worker bee will lose that final bit of creative problem solving skill by leaning on AI for all answers. And no, we "won't check" AI's answers anymore. Just like we assume that...

    How AI will fail

    Well... I was thinking sort of the opposite (sorta). As someone that hires and interviews people, tech candidates are completely lost without Google nowadays, and IMHO, in a very short period of time, it will be AI that is required by the candidate to "present actual knowledge".

    How AI will fail

    AI is going to fail exactly how Google web search "failed".

    Bipartisan Bill Would Impose New Annual Fee on Electric Vehicles

    This one is tough, because there isn't EV electricity vs. normal electricity. So, they either have to wrongfully triple tax non-EV people or they have to target EV... and in this case the vehicles itself. Now... if there was a way to tap into "usage", they could do that and it would be similar...

    Best place for cheap MS Office keys?

    And, they used to pursue. But, now they don't. Which IMHO raises interesting questions.

    Best upgrade from GTX 1070 in a 14th gen i3 desktop?

    The 3070 you posted, I liked (on your post) because it's a very very very very rare and exceptional deal. So, duh, yes, of course, if you can get a 5090 for $200, go for it. Wasn't trying to suggest otherwise.

    Best upgrade from GTX 1070 in a 14th gen i3 desktop?

    I hate to suggest better than 1070 cards that are still pretty ancient. Just doesn't feel right give the newness of the overall platform involved. To "save" some dollars you could also go with old team red. Maybe a used 5700XT, for example. That should be doable at $200 (I bought one a few...

    Best upgrade from GTX 1070 in a 14th gen i3 desktop?

    Maybe a used 3060 12GB version (usually $250 though) or a 4060 8GB (which can be found for closer to that $200 mark)? Given the newness of the overall platform, I'd try to go newer, but at $200 (assuming USD), no, unlikely. Hard to go newer at $200 (or even $270). Who knows, maybe you can...

    My i9-14900K Benchmarks

    Possibly. Maybe not the best "CPU" benchmark choice. :) Edit: Note, I'm at JEDEC speeds though.
