    Best exchange to buy on?

    If you're spending USD, I like coin base/pro for the free and instant ACH transfers. Fees on Coinbase pro are reasonable, but you can definitely get better elsewhere. Coinbase also has a reputation for poor customer service and people getting locked out of their accounts, though I suspect many...

    Investing in mining equipment in 2021

    Honestly, in the 2011-2012 time period I received sage like advice on this forum which I did not follow - but should have (of course, you only have perfect information in hindsight). If you think ETH is going to explode, just spend the 20k on ETH. Or some mix of BTC/ETH.

    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread

    Down today, up tomorrow. Wouldn't put too much stock in the price of ETH on any individual day. And it's not like there was a lack of demand for cards at 1200 USD/ETH a month ago anyway.

    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread

    Never actually got one of these into my cart... got to select a store and then add to cart several times, but no dice on getting an actual unit my cart... (EDIT on 3080 FE and then 3090 FE, specifically...)

    For the 96% who failed to get a 3080

    I made a half-hearted attempt to grab one launch morning, didn't get it of course. At this point I'm just going to wait until November, I figure it's going to take (at least) that long for the supply situation to get sorted out, so I might as well sit back, see what AMD has in store, and try to...

    Linux Kernel's New Code of Conduct Results in F-Word Being Replaced with "Hugs"

    This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps! Seriously though, people should spent more time worrying about the quality of the code they are submitting and less worrying about the specific wording used in other peoples' comments.

    Dotcom To Seek A Review Of Court's Forfeiture Ruling

    Well, we have to balance the trade deficit somehow. Your mother might as well have named you Strawman.

    Valve's Steam Controller Reviewed

    There is no point in trying to convince somebody like Dekoth-E to try the steam controller; they show an insurmountable level of closed-mindedness that guarantees they will hate the controller no matter what. The steam controller is a bit different from what we're used to, and if you come to it...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    I wonder how long it will take to get that into the backer builds? I don't imagine it will be arriving with 2.1, will it? It would be awesome if they were to add some planetary landing locations to the PU. That looked really good though. I know Chris had said that the procedural generation...

    More Than Half Of Americans Now Watch Netflix

    I think there are plenty of good movies on Netflix as long as you don't expect the latest blockbusters. I have a long list of movies I missed in the theaters or when they were new releases at the rental place, and I've found some excellent gems in the foreign section as well. But forget all...

    Netflix Raises Price Of Most Popular Plan By $1 Per Month

    I think maybe 15 dollars a month is my max, and that's heavily dependent on them keeping up with the quality original content. Some of it has been better than others, but I thought Daredevil in particular was amazing. That price point is similar to HBO. The nice thing about Netflix is no...

    UBISOFT shutting down game servers for some older titles.

    It seems like all of these servers could be run of a single machine in VMs. The cost of running this would be next to nothing have effectively zero impact on newer games, especially for a company the size of Ubisoft. But I guess there will always be somebody to swallow the shit sandwich these...

    GUIDE: Install Windows Vista, 7 and 8 from a flash drive!

    Anyone know who to get a clean windows 7 ISO to use with the USB media creation tool? I need to do a fresh install on a co-workers (personal) laptop, but the digital river links no longer work and Microsoft's ISO download page requires a windows key - but won't accept OEM or upgrade keys. What...
