You might want to check out their BIOS pages. I have a...6? year old ASRock Z77 ITX and they have had a "beta" 2.0 release available since May. I'm not really expecting that they ever release one not marked beta, but who knows.

Whats the situation with updating the Biostar x370 to use a 2000 series chip like the Ryzen 7 2700? I'm assuming you need to have an older 1xxx chip in order to install the new BIOS?

I am in favor of this. As the owner of a Huawei Nexus 6p on Google Fi that has battery issues....the finger pointing between google and Huawei saying its a software issue...no its a hardware issue and nobody doing anything is a pain in the butt. With both the software and hardware on the Pixels...

Except that it does...because I can fit more other applications and such on the screen. Things that don't scale. Obvious example: The fact I scale my desktop icons doesn't make something like Lightroom suddenly fit less pixels on the screen when you say 1:1 actual pixels to screen pixels or...

I have a 4k laptop and Remote Desktop does scale on newer server OSes. If you're stuck maintaining old ass servers...yeah your life is going to suck.

I have never seen SED before. It sounds awesome!

And this is even more trash than the Samsungs.

At this point any new freesync monitor should really meet freesync 2 specs to be taken seriously.

As far as I know there are not any emissive displays priced at the consumer level. You can get them in TVs (LG OLED), but emissive QLED TVs are still not a reality (Samsung's QLEDs still use a backlight). Some phones and tablets also have emissive displays, but there seems to be nothing in...

I don't use cases and have never broken a phone. So you don't need to "buy a $30 case and stop being a clumsy fuck", you just need to stop being a clumsy fuck. The amount I have saved on cases + "cheap insurance" could easily buy me a new phone...or 2 new phones. Insurance if you aren't a clumsy...

I can and I did. And people who care about quality rather than price are very likely going to be looking at even newer models, not last years used model.

The Samsung chg70 may be worth looking at depending on if it's discounted from MSRP. It's a 2560 x 1440 curved monitor which makes it a no for me, but it has good color accuracy although it doesn't cover 100% of Adobe rgb it covers will more than 100% of srgb which is what you're most likely to...

Reading this on my secondary monitor which is 1680 x 1050 :D It's pretty old, but still going along fine. The 16:10 aspect results in a vertical resolution is nearly the same as 1080 so it's got plenty of real estate for reading things and lots of other kinds of work.

These links are great in regards to TVs. I'm really thinking about 21:9 with 2160 vertical pixels for my next computer monitor myself. Doesn't seem to be anything like that on the display market yet.

While its a slightly different model people can get a used 4k 49" Samsung for $649 with free shipping from a company with a reputation that you as an individual don't have. They're going to want to pay less for the hassle of picking it up, dealing with a stranger, etc...
