I have a new EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra I'm selling, with a few interested buyers, none of them local (unfortunately). I'm wary of selling a high-value item like this online via shipping/Paypal/eBay/etc. given the horror stories I've heard of sellers getting scammed due to payment services nearly...

Generally, does distance between m2 slot and CPU bear any impact whatsoever in terms of latency/performance/response time? Specifically, on a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master (with a WD Black SN750 1TB NVMe drive), there are 3x m2 slots. I've RTFM already (attached) and have had the SN750 plugged...

Those with Amazon Prime (and its fast receding benefits), "Madden 22" and "Surviving Mars" are available for "free", though must be claimed by March 31st. Prime Gaming

Is there a way to disable the utterly annoying mouse middle-click autoscroll function? It's activated by pressing the middle mouse button, usually in web browsers (but also other programs). When pressed, it changes the mouse cursor to an omnidirectional free-flow cursor, and wherever the pointer...

Twitch got leaked, and leaked hard: source code in its entirety -- not only Twitch's, but other Amazon/Twitch subsidiary projects like Amazon's Steam competitor, et al -- login/payment data (change your P's and 2(FA)'s), and the real juice: streamer payout data. It was no secret xQc was making...

New freebie: Battlefield 1: In the Name of the Tsar DLC free on Origin for a limited time. Can claim it even without owning Battlefield 1 in your library. Hoping Origin gives out B1 for free sometime soon :D

Really appreciate the suggestions, these look great! Genuinely excited. Any thoughts on the Samsung G7 vs. LG 32GP850? Both look like great monitors and seems they fared comparatively on Rtings. If recent sales are any indication, looks like it may be possible to snag a new G7 for mid $500's...

The day "Tree Style Tabs" -- a more or less Firefox-exclusive addon -- stops working is the day I never ride another fox of fire again. "Container tabs" has been pretty handy, as well, no longer having to juggle multiple browsers/incognitos to get separate cookie sessions. As for the privacy...

...and with Freesync or G-sync? I grabbed a Dell 32" 1440p Freesync (S3220DGF) last year only to discover that the thing is straight up haunted with all the ghosting going on in it. A shame, as it looks great otherwise. Though its Freesync feature is also pretty janky (unofficial using an...

I wouldn't hold your breath. I can't think of anything Microsoft has been successfully competitive with in the consumer market in the recent decade or so that didn't already have a monopolistic champ-by-default stranglehold on the market, e.g., Windows and Office. Not even Google can dent those...

There's no way this is over in ~2 months. Because it's not just a matter of suppliers climbing back to standard production output. Demand right now is heavily skewed due to a year and a half of people who have reached their "Time to upgrade" windows but have held off because of the...

This looks fun, I'll have to give this a go! I have some spare Arduinos, MSP430, and Raspberry Pi's I'll have to see if I can adapt to it.

If you're able to follow simple instructions off a tutorial, you have the skills to do it / learn it. If you search Youtube for "How to test power supply", you'll see a smattering of how-to videos showing you how to do this with your multimeter, able to do it in probably less than a minute --...

It all depends on the Craigslist/OfferUp/Facebook resale market wherever you live. I'd hop on each of those sites/services and search for used Aerons, see what pops up. No guarantees, sometimes it's just a matter of waiting for someone to be sell an item you're looking for (at a worthwhile...

Ahhh big RIP to me for not catching this sooner. Any possible chance anybody happens to have a spare BF4 key? My fault for missing out on this! I had hope until I read those infamous first five letters :LOL: I'm going to put those on my gravestone.
