    Scalper group says it has ‘no regrets’ over reselling 3,500 Playstation 5 consoles

    > It's really no risk for them. Pile a bunch of them on a CC - worst case you either return or sell them for break-even before the interest hits. Yeah it must be pretty rough for them to be in a position where they can leverage the money for multiple consoles. I feel so bad for them, it really...

    Scalper group says it has ‘no regrets’ over reselling 3,500 Playstation 5 consoles

    What a bunch of bullshit. They can afford $400 or $500 to buy a console and sit on it for weeks but they can’t put food on the table. Right.

    Radeon 6000 series speculation

    They will over recommend every time because of people using cheap PSUs. You have to factor in the lowest common denominator. Look at all the reports of the 3080 working fine with a 650w PSU. That said it will give you more room with a power supply that is acting up and losing capacity.

    PS3's Cell CPU is by far stronger than new Intel CPUs

    The PPE has no branch predictor, and very limited out of order execution. The SPE’s can only access main memory using DMA. So yes, a terrible architecture for a gaming machine.

    PS3's Cell CPU is by far stronger than new Intel CPUs

    It’s actually because the PPE isn’t a very strong CPU and the other SPE cores are completely incapable of running either game logic or integer math. Nothing to do with lazy developers, just a terrible architecture for a console CPU.

    Prisoners in England to Be Taught Code

    I was referring to the statement you made not that html isn't coding. Website builders have been around since the early 2000s at least and take care of the low hanging fruit that will work with a cookie cutter template. Then there are storefront modules, etc to take care of a few more cases...

    Prisoners in England to Be Taught Code

    Html is not coding, but this statement just makes me believe you have no experience with either AI or html.

    Netflix Gives Controversial "13 Reasons Why" Series More Viewer Warnings

    So you're saying its easy to control what an almost adult teen watches, when you also say you watched whatever you wanted as a child easily. Riiiiiiiight.

    Replace PSU fan?

    A 4 pin PWM fan will work fine on a 3 pin connector, assuming there is a 3 pin connector on the PSU board. Most PSU's, if the fan isn't soldered onto the board, will use a 2 pin connector. You can carefully pop the pins out and slide them into the connector for the old PSU fan if the pins are...

    Replace PSU fan?

    Any 12V DC fan will work fine.

    Apple could use custom x86 SoC made by AMD

    I'm sure this is just a way to put pressure on Intel to give them better pricing. And seriously, ARM? The reason x86 is more expensive is its much faster per clock.

    Win 10 and Bios

    If you were on 7 or earlier before and doing a legacy boot, it may have switched to a UEFI fast boot now, assuming your laptop is new enough and supports it. Try Start -> Settings -> Update & security -> Recovery -> Restart now -> Troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> UEFI Firmware Settings ->...

    Mouse cursor sticks or jitters in place

    Its also a common issue with laser mice. What surface are you using? The sensor could be having trouble tracking on it. I have an old Logitech laser mouse (G700) that does the same sort of thing if I use it on a smooth plastic mouse pad. So try a different surface too and see if that helps.

    PSU Dieing?

    Are you sure the fan in your PSU is running? If its getting that hot it may be overheating and shutting itself off.
