There used to be these things called private servers which is where the vast majority of games were run. They were paid for and run by players and they were happy to do so. However, this left way too much control out of the hands of the...

In my experience avoid QLC drives at all costs unless it's a write once (and you are ready to wait forever for everything to get written) and read only drive after being written. I needed a cheap boot drive for the media server I built my son and...

I wish I had more than 6 cores out of 8 on my 5800x I could toss at this. Even if I fired it up on my 2600x I doubt it would finish a work unit before the event ended.

The Rings of Power was utter shit. If they didn't break the lore they completely ignored it instead. Beyond that for something with such a huge production budget everything looked like cheap shit and the acting wasn't any good. No matter how you...

I think it's because wareyore is stealing all of our primes...

It looks like GW is the only GPU available project. I had Gamma Ray GPU originally selected and I got the message there's no GPU work for it. I even changed to grab GW GPU work and it says it has no work for my 1050Ti. A pity something changed...

If the memory was bad and caused errors, it's likely the install, OS and otherwise, is completely hosed. Bad memory causes errors in which those errors are written to disk. It was unlikely the install was going to be saved from the beginning and...
