People have been smoking around computers for decades and it doesn't have any reduction in their ability to work. As I stated, the only thing you might need to do is clean it out more often. Smoke does leave residue and that residue will collect dust easier. Look up pictures of computers which...

No, it's not going to hurt the computer. At worst you'd need to clean the dust out more often.

In the first game what it looks like is they took the child Aloy head and made it bigger and left it at that. Her face looks like it's still 4 years old with a bunch of baby fat and no maturing. It's been a while since I played the first game but at least in some of the screen shots for the...

The ones I give a shit about do. And in some cases they run a hell of a lot better than they ever did in Windows.

Well, it's about time. :p

Since it looks like there's only 5 people on the team running this I'd say we're doing pretty damn good so far.

I have no experience with the 360 but I did buy and install the Frozen Edge 240 this past week. I had a little spare cash and needed an upgrade from my air cooler and it cost me $44 with tax. The only semi-recent experience with water cooling was an Enermax 240 AIO I got for practically free...

This is the exact same thing I've been doing for years. I have yet to not find what I was looking for or at least something else which would work. I also tend to buy extras and a couple other things because I know I'll end up needing it eventually.

I'm no fan of either company but what you describe has nothing to do with feudalism, techno or otherwise. Owning and selling a product on a marketplace is far different than feudalism. Under feudalism Apple and Amazon would own the product made by you and allow you a certain number to sell while...

These "rules" aren't legislation. They are imposed upon us by an un-elected group of bureaucrats with delusions of grandeur overstepping the bounds of the powers given to them by Congress. One of the biggest problems with "net neutrality" in government form is the fact that it has never been...

Under feudalism peasants were effectively owned by the landowners, also known as nobles. Most couldn't even move without permission from the local noble. Peasants worked the land and were allowed to keep a portion of what they made. Said portion was determined by the nobles/landowners. I have...

I don't normally run F@H on CPUs except during things like the event in January. I'll run BOINC stuff on them from time to time, mostly when a little extra heat is nice. The 6750xt was the main reason I stopped running F@H. A year ago it was getting 3.2 million PPD+ and by the time of the...

One of the reasons I quit running F@H is because of the obvious points issues. In the last run in January it took a Ryzen 2600x, 1050TI, RX570, Ryzen 5800x and a Radeon 6750xt to equal the points the 6750xt was putting out by itself a year previous. All three GPUs were producing noticeably fewer...

I got this update on my Manjaro installs this evening.

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 publishers (and not able to charge huge amounts for maps)...
