I have a feeling that anything used would be cloud based AI, at least in the near future. Power wise I should be good, I believe I have a 1800watt PSU in that machine due to it once upon a time running a power hungry (close to 600 watt I think) 295x2... think I had a third 290x in crossfire at...

Seems like decent gaming performance, and is a cheap and painless way to update an older system. Convenience is king! Whichever is for sale for $260 or so, the 5700X3D or another sale on the 5800X3D (missed the last one), I figure I'll hop on it. Should pair well with the 6700XT I think.

Seems like AM4 will never die! I setup two AMD systems for a family member. I can't recall what motherboards I used, but I know one has a 1700x, the other a 3700x. I was thinking of picking up a 5700X3D that should be releasing very soon for the gaming system to replace the 3700x, and...

Not yet, because Wifi7 isn't even finalized until 2024, but I often update the wifi/bluetooth cards on older systems that are otherwise perfectly good. Just recently slapped a new wifi 6e card on my kitchen computer for example to match the router. The reason for not upgrading to W11 is that...

Just finished one, actually. Not sure if "cutest" or "weirdest" but you play a cat in a post-apocalypse world where leftover helper robots developed their own AI personalities by mimicking the humans that were no longer around, and some freaky thing that evolved into a mega organism feeding...

The ultimate hapa girl fuel?

There is value in having someone put on the front end for you, has all the right emulators preinstalled, ensures all the games loaded actually work with the right names and what not organized, that the controls work, and so forth. I wasn't talking about the standalone emulator PCs that they...

I'm too lazy to curate my own bunch of roms and emulators and want to just pickup something turn key to plug into my existing HTPC setup. I'm concerned about malware and see some have horrible interfaces with games that are half buggy or duplicates or jacked controls, and others that seem...

I think we have to flag them for mods to put [DEAD]. Done.

I see people getting excited about 10TB drives for $150, which I checked my receipts and is the exact same drive I bought more than a year ago for the same price. Feels bag mang. They do have 18TB drives though at least, which is nice, but the per TB price isn't shrinking fast.

One? You pleb. The question I have is what am I supposed to do with all my old 8TB drives.

Don't be, that was the worst of the echos (crappy mic crappy speaker), and they just released a new generation.

The negative is outsourcing. If you can work from anywhere you have internet, why employ anyone in a high cost of living state? Or why in an expensive country at all? Why not some guys in India where the per capita GDP is $2K? I worked from home for about a year and a half and I loved it...

Take a deep breath, now attempt to objectively review the net taxes or subsidies and government attitude toward coal and alternative energy. On some level you must recognize how downright idiotic it is to pretend that businesses like Tesla aren't the darlings of the government with billions in...

It is in part a cultural issue. While cheating is frowned upon in Western society, and cheaters shamed, in China it is the cheated that are shamed for not being savvy enough. And its not just in industries, its pretty much universally expected that Chinese students will try to cheat on...
