Must not be very fast if your thumbs are under your butt! Jokes aside, Outlook's still down for me, 5ish hours later.

Adult version of a snow day...too bad this did not happen tomorrow!

Thanks. The 1TB version is $129, which is low in the current environment for a good 1TB drive, in case you'd rather save $70. Also, holiday returns at Walmart until Jan 31, so if prices happen to drop unexpectedly, you can simply take it back. Edit: Looks like the heatsink is trivially easy...

The US government is not a monolith. I'm sure 'they' do know, but for the last two years, the only person whose opinion mattered wanted the money to keep flowing. Now, 'they' need to answer to congress too, and it's not necessarily in congress' best interests to keep the money flowing. I'm not...

My only hesitation is whether potential congressional investigations into Nvidia's revenue shows a substantial chunk of it was/is coming from circumventing export controls to China. That could jeopardize the money Nvidia uses in its circular financing schemes. The current administration needs...

I don't believe this will happen. I don't think the PC gaming landscape will get much worse. I do think it will take years to recover, though, and the 'recovery' will not look like 'the good ol' days.' That being said, I have spent quite a lot of money at GOG this year, and have a fully offline...

At $600, I could not afford the 8800 GTX as I was still in school. I ended up buying an 8800 GT for $350, which was a stretch at the time. Feels like a lifetime ago!

Newegg still has multiple 9070 XTs for under a grand. Not much under a grand, but I doubt they stay under a grand for much longer.
