    WTBorrow/Rent 8th gen intel CPU for BIOS flash (Northern VA)

    Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I had already tried this with no luck. I'm not sure if it needs to be a specific port or if I'm missing something else, but my USB thumb drive never lights up no matter what port I try. All lights on the board come on, fans spin, the first two Q-LED...

    WTBorrow/Rent 8th gen intel CPU for BIOS flash (Northern VA)

    Thank you! Give me a day to see if any (physically) closer offers come in, otherwise I will definitely take you up on this! Now to figure out what extras I could toss in, probably an extra $20 - not to be confused with a rental fee :D

    WTBorrow/Rent 8th gen intel CPU for BIOS flash (Northern VA)

    Hoping to find someone in Northern VA with an 8th Gen intel CPU that I can borrow/rent for long enough to flash the BIOS on an Asus ROG STRIX H370-I Gaming motherboard I bought on Ebay. I was trying to use this to build a PC for my brother and I give him my old i5-9600k but I'm not able to get...

    Asrock A-tuning = unrequested automatic overclocking?

    I just rebuilt my main gaming computer with an i5-9600K + Asrock z390 Taichi Ultimate, went into the BIOS and configured XMP and the date, and then booted into the OS. I wanted to make sure my temps were stable so I started the A-tuning and burnintest (100% CPU load) and the temps looked great...

    Chinese Game Ban is Fueling Steam Growth

    YOU NO HAVE FUN, YOU WORK NOW! It's going to be hilarious when there ends up being a huge Chinese revolt over the ban on porn and video games! At least the government will take care of the Chinese cheater problem in online gaming (because they will be dead). Okay, that's enough racism...

    Ultra Light Gloves Provide Haptic Feedback

    I would think that would be as easy as adding some linear actuators for each finger.

    Ultra Light Gloves Provide Haptic Feedback

    Sponge you say? That should be analogous to human body parts... I think I know where this tech will end up and I want to be an investor (and beta tester)! :D

    Nope, and it's extremely unlikely to ever happen either.

    Nvidia Teases New Lineup of Consumer Video Cards

    I'm honestly not sure if you're serious... "Cologne" refers to Cologne Germany where Nvidia will be holding their "Geforce Gaming Celebration" on August 20th, which will almost certainly be the announcement date of the new cards. Peltier coolers aren't commonly used for several reasons but...

    AMD EPYC Server Sales Show Great Promise According to Analysts

    I'm all for AMDs resurgence in the server market, but this is one seriously BS graph... Maybe they took a page from Randall https://www.xkcd.com/2023/

    Cell Phones Thrown in the Trash Are Exploding, Causing Fires in Garbage Trucks

    Why do people do this? Because it's easier than driving to the landfill/recycling center to dispose of them properly. The real solution would be if trash companies would have a way to pick them up, maybe have a special colored bag that they distribute to people that they put Li-ion batteries in...

    Using AI to Create Infinite Number of Doom levels

    The one below the top left is getting really close to recreating the swastika level! It's almost like they had to program it to intentionally avoid that design...
