    Two years after launch Windows 11 adoption is still waaaay behind Windows 10

    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.

    The legendary Zilog Z80 CPU is being discontinued after nearly 50 years

    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 environmental concerns (fabs aren't clean), etc - so shut it...

    So you'd rather just get compromised?

    So, what are you rocking for VR?

    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 anything significant...

    Need 16x-8x configuration at same time. Are there any consumer boards?

    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 fourth slot." Let me know if you find one Zenith...

    Review the game you finished recently.

    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 flashiness and spastic 20-year-old-on-ritalin hyper...

    Review the game you finished recently.

    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," so... It's kinda pretty? Every other part of...

    Review the game you finished recently.

    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 damned good game. Fully platinumed on PC. Now Elden...

    Already in the trash and taken out today :p

    WTB Portable (or otherwise fold flat) monitor - threw mine out a window.

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

    WTB Portable (or otherwise fold flat) monitor - threw mine out a window.

    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.

    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).

    Review the game you finished recently.

    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 can do, move you into full body immersion, and let...
