Truth! SF does appear to be all coming to Austin. I have one in the Northwest and one down south near Manchaca (not Menchaca) purchased in 2014 and 2015, that have appreciated 70% and 50% respectively. I don’t think we’re in a bubble in the...

They’re all actually connected. From the direction we’re looking the SLI fingers are on the left edge of each card.

Sounds suspiciously like YouTube. We can now start calling ourselves [H]ardTube. That needs to happen 😂

KILL. US. ALL! But seriously, that’s super cool. I had no idea the fine motor control had advanced to this level.

Order an anvil and have it “dropped off” at the location of someone you don’t likes’ car. And would that be called Amazombing or a JDAM (Joint Direct Amazon Munition)?

Let’s come clean guys. We don’t buy new cars because we keep buying $1000 video cards, which evidently soon will operate at 1600 C and have rubber ablative heat sinks that leave a plasma trail like a reentering Falcon 9.

Technically Harman is just a franchisee. Yum owns the KFC brand. This is definitely marketing though. I can’t think of anyone who would actually take a KFConsole seriously on anything but an “It’s so different I have to have it” level.

The combination of: 1) Yum brands owning both Taco Bell and KFC 2) the renaissance of recreational weed laws ...ensures future success for Yum. #toostonedtofail However, this still remains true:

I think the reason I don't like any recent PC game may just be the fact that I played really good games from back in the 90s....or I am just old but I don't think that's it...or maybe. Sierra adventure games, in my youth, were really fun. Wonder...

I am so sold on this game just reading that

In '93 we had a weak 386 DOS system that was just about good enough for lucasarts games. In '95/96 my family got an Pentium MMX / S3 Virge system and I got Mechwarrior 2. First full 3d game I owned and such a night and day difference compared to...

Seconded. Mechwarrior 2 in 1995 was the game that really pulled me into PC gaming and modding. Played it on a friends machine right after it released, then immediately ran out and bought a P90/ATI Rage machine just to play that game. Prior to...

If you built your PC based on advice from the Verge, then Stadia probably is a better option.

Just think, had Disney not done this you could have taken that saved dollar a month and paid off an RTX3090 in 124 years and 11 months

Ready for the m.2 GTX 3090. It’ll be fine! The burning smell is a feature, not a problem.

I’m firmly in the “can’t take a guy with that hair seriously” camp

So, what do we do about it? Well, ordinarily, you'd have to do something like voltage injection to figure out which component in the circuit is causing the short, but if you remember the image with the two mosfets, you may also remember that...

Alright, the aforementioned Anpec APL3542A... Here it is, next to the barrel jack, opposite the MOSFETs. Datasheet here: http://www.anpec.com.tw/ashx_prod_file.ashx?prod_id=729&file_path=2017011316223128.pdf&original_name=APL3542A.pdf What...

Alright, moving right along, I plugged in the power connector, and started taking measurements on the board. What we're looking for here is what power is getting to, and what it's not. Testing for voltage at the barrel jack. Looks good...

The thing I remember the most about BX6 (other than it was also one of my favorites from my favorite era of modding/overclocking) was the Softmenu voltage mod feature that would basically allow you to instantly murder your CPU. Never before or...
