Wouldn't that be the Sears Roebuck catalog back in 1943.

I looked up Arizona. Income taxes go toward state government. State sales tax rate goes toward more state government. County sales tax goes toward County government which includes a small sheriff's office that won't have staffing to act anything like a municipal police force. So municipal...

I wonder if they could make a 486 add-in board with a direct mounted VESA compatible SVGA chip with 1-4mb vram with a vga header and hdmi connector on the bracket, and 64mb system dram, true sound blaster compatible and adlib chips, comm port headers, game port header, and parallel port header...

The Asus Proart B650 Creator has a TB4 header and accepts the Asus add-in card on a pcie 3.0 x16 slot (@x4 speed). Not sure why they pushed TB4 into the add-in realm on b650 when last gen b550 had it without the board price being higher.

I do think what Asrock is doing is awesome as a concept, and I hope it is designed well enough that implementation is painless to the end user. Regarding the lack of free / useable pcie expansion slots for am5 motherboards, I had the same problem when determining a parts list for my new build...

I see you may also be a fan of Al Sharpton's poetic artistic and completely unintentionally unintelligible teleprompter reading (or at least what he would call reading).

I'm good with that. My previous experience with consumer based drives (since after the Maxtor Fireball series) had always been that noisy drives generally have a physical issue somewhere occurring. For instance I had an ancient 40gb WD white label drive that was always noisy similar to what...

I was in for one 14tb drive in early December. It passed all tests (wld-diag long test)and nothing concerning in SMART data, but it is generally really noisy in my opinion and I continue to wonder if it indicates an issue. Often times the noise reminds me of the heads retracting back to clean...

That is what I have heard as well. After zen2, really the only attractor for me to a threadripper option was the extra pcie lanes. I won't mind if prosumer threadripper is gone if AMD will add a standard sku product line with either more pcie 5 lanes or include a pcie5 to 4/3 bridge chip with...

Yes I too hope this, but only if Amazon funds it without inserting new social and political garbage into it for whatever the current hot topic is in society. In other words let the creators who made the series a success originally do their thing again without interfering.

I would expect there is some kind of electronic fuse that bricks the device when a user attempts to flash / root The device. The same thing that Amazon did with their fire tv device where people figured out how to root it on adv early firmware and Amazon pushed a new firmware down before the...

Speculation: The extra cost isn't related to the product being subsidized by selling your information through Facebook's network. The extra cost is the additional code layer they installed to make the hardware unit appear to no longer send all your data to Facebook network while it still...

I can't say i miss the beige cases of the 80s and early 90s. Although I did mod a few of them for increased airflow. I also don't care for the LED bling crap that we get today. Just give me a nice black or silver painted glossy metal case with possibly some plastic for front usb and headphone...

Guess management will finally understand that the cloud is just another way of saying that other guy over there is running your servers and handling your precious data. Maybe you save money by not hosting on-prem somewhere and maybe you don't, but unplanned outages do happen for both...

So the scalpers in at least some cases are just subsidiaries of the AIB suppliers. Somebody at MSI got a bonus for suggesting this consumer deception plan.
