Teams auto-starting and ignoring the "don't start" option is garbage through and through. It's also a shitty program regardless.

I work in the security industry. I've done my research. Have you? Security ALWAYS fails. Assume breach. Always.

They use totally different fabs - the issue I suspect (and you're REALLY close imho) is that the old fabs are finally wearing out, and cost of maintaining them isn't justified given the reduced use of the older process. Might also be...

So you'd rather just get compromised?

Yeah, I've suspected this is on purpose too. You want to use a second 8x PCIe card, spend thousands on a workstation product, fool. I wouldn't be opposed to spending on a workstation product. My only concern is that current workstation...

I really do not like alyx (see my post in the game review thread) - great demo, crap game, do better valve. I did pick up Radius, the wife loves moss, and I got red matter 1/2 and another one too. Just takes so much effort to fire up VR for...

Same. Driving me nuts. The workstation performance is great, but lord is the non-workstation... weak. Not terrible, mind you, but weak weak weak. Same struggle I'm having. I'm getting close to "gonna have to live with x4s on the third and...

I guess I'm just going to have to wait then. Until I can find a motherboard that both boasts top tier consumer CPU performance in low threaded workloads AND allows me full one full 16x (gen 4+) and one full 8x (gen3+) electrically, at the same...

It is very strange... I really love the souls series - I never thought I would, but I've literally spent a year now running through them back-to-back. Elden Ring lost everything that made "Souls" special in pursuit of streamer-friendly...

Elden Ring, Aka Miyazaki finally wanted to swim in liquid cash and sold out. See my reviews on the Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and other Fromsoft games. Play one of those instead. My mom said "don't say anything if you can't say something nice,"...

Dark Souls 2. 9.5/10. I actually really enjoyed the slower, more methodical combat system in this one - and loved the lore, environment, and story. Minus points for the DLCs being ... not DS2, but more DS3/Bloodborne/etc... but still a...

Already in the trash and taken out today :p

That's basically what I had before - never thought about getting a plate stand for it!

I'm certain I have it. I may be a victim of wife cleaning. I'll try to find it ASAP.

if you do that'd be perfect?

I have a NIB Asus. It'll definitely lay flat. I'll get the model number when I get home.

Literally just flung the LePow (aka LeShit) one out a window because the stand was garbage. Looking for any other portable monitors that can lie flat when not needed. Anyone got one not in use? Heat under Lopoetve.

1) Rendition Verite V1000. Arguably a failure relative to 3Dfx cards as the redline API never really took off, but if memory serves me it came out prior to the 3Dfx cards. It was my first hop into 3d acceleration. It blew me away at the time...

Except this assumes you have someone in front of the machine to click it. Lots of times a box reboots you're not near and you can't see that (ugh).

It truly goes back to the novelty factor. There was a definite charm early on with what we could do in VR - "First Contact" as an intro via Oculus was brilliant (and is brilliant for newcomers) for a reason. As a way to see all the things you...
