If Elon thinks running a social media company or a company traded on the stock markets is too much; subjecting himself to the degree of oversight that banks operate under would be the stupidest possible thing he could do. Which given his recent track record means it's probably 50/50 he buys it...

This is why it'll probably never go beyond the concept phase. It'd generate far too many returns from people with conventional cases to be a viable commercial product,

May have been a glitch, I'm seeing it default to USA and show multiple shipping options. I haven't tried going farther in the checkout process.

*sad brexit noises*

Bold of you to assume NVidia won't increase the price they charge AIBs for the chip to capture any potential savings from being able to use cheaper power delivery. Jensen's shiny kitchen stuff isn't going to pay for itself afterall.

I thought that was the end state of the developers unpaid work.

In the post linked at the top of the thread Unwider specifically says that MSI hasn't been doing what they agreed to under a licensing agreement, not that they stopped paying his salary. That agrees with what I've read elsewhere that MSI was paying him enough money to work on Afterburner full...

I've never worked with EPDM tubing, but if it's stiff enough the thicker version might become too difficult to force into a bend before the thinner version kinks.

I'm honestly surprised they didn't do this a few months ago at the same time they raised the price on my legacy non-unlimited (but still more data than I've ever used in a month) plan by a few dollars. Of course I'm being encouraged to upgrade to a new 5g unlimited plan, even though my phone...

I'm pretty sure everyone is supposed to hate both ATT and VZW at present. I'm not sure if TMobile is currently on the 5 minute of hate list or not.

Good riddence. I used vbscript exactly one about 10 years ago for a few lines of scripting logic that couldn't be done in a batch file. If I had to do the same thing today I'd probably use powershell.

I used both. Ultramon was king with XP; but was lagging badly with updates on newer OSes (I got the impression it was a side project for a single dev) and either for Vista or 7 I switched to Display Fusion. Windows kept improving built in multimonitor support though, and I was using them for...

I've bought several refurb monitors over the years. With the exception of an NEC 3090 factory refurb they were all 3rd party refurbs and came in poorly fitting mismatched generic boxes. Unless the model itself is discontinued there's no good reason for Dell not to be able to supply an...

You just need to embrace your inner retro-nerd. Before there was prebuilt watercooling stuff for PCs, people'd go to their local pick-a-part with a bag of tools and rip the heater core out of some old rust bucket to use as their radiator. Folks with more money would buy new from autozone.

I think you could connect a hose to a distro plates fill port. I've done that with a switch res on pump setup similar to the one you link. It's permanently attached with a screw cap on the end and long enough i can use a funnel and pour outside the case.

MSI had all 1 egg in a basket in Russia. Afterburner is a single developer project that MSI had been funding the development of to put their branding on. It was never theirs to begin with, it was just easier to contract to the person who already build the application than to create a copy from...

Buying Russian bonds/etc sold to non-Russians prior to sanctions being imposed doesn't send any money into Russia. It's irrelevant as a way for a western company to pay someone in Russia. This is the equivalent of buying debt of bankrupt countries/companies for pennies on the dollar gambling...

JSON is Java-SCRIPT Object Notation. Javascript has no relation to Java beyond both having C style syntax and a name deceptively chosen to piggy back on Java's success. To the extent that React is still controlled by farsebook that's probably still a problem. And you can write UWP apps...

just not breaking all the existing tooling (they can't fix 3rd party stuff at all) would be a major hit. It would also be seen as a major breaking change, far beyond the level we've seen from WPF-Win8-Win10-(Win11?) platforms and flavors of XAML. Rightly or not, it'd be perceived by many...

I think they're reading way too much into that. MS has used various forms of XAML for new UI platforms since WPF (released in 2006). They've had something called XAML Islands as a way to embed the current flavor of it into existing applications for much of the time. Them using it to build one...

The most recent dual spindle HDDs are getting close to maxing out a SATA 6GB link in sequential operations. SAS (enterprise equivalent) has a 12GB mode, it's possible we could see SATA updated to 12GB too or HDDs migrating to SAS even on consumer level hardware in the next few years.

That's as far as my 4790K is 100% stable at sustained full load. I could do a few hundred higher when it's cool/cold, but experienced once every few weeks crashes when my indoor temperature got into the high 70s/low 80s.

How does ZMTs durability compare with Tygon? I've always used the latter because being transparent means I can see if any problems are going on.

My timeline is the opposite of yours. 2012 was when I replaced a 2 year old 120 GB model with a 240 GB one. The 120GB IIRC was a mid-life upgrade to an HDD only system that kept the 640GB Black as media storage. In 2014 I splurged $500 on a 1TB drive, thinking it'd be enough capacity to last...

maybe. I wasn't specific because I forgot who was to blame.

There was one or two models from a few years ago that had a problem where they never read/rewrote static data as a maintenance task with the result that performance reading it tanked after a year or two because it was having to thrash reread cycles to get enough good bits for the ECC to be able...

Flat mount will probably linger for a while since all it needs it a few screw holes on a surface somewhere. Much cheaper than the material for a drive cage.

Depending on how you look at it, it isn't in this case either. Solvent FTX run by SBF made the donations, bankrupt FTX now run by a liquidator is asking for the money back. It might just be bluster though, unless they can do it in small claims court or also get attorney fees paid by the...

It's not just the death of laptops with HDDs to blame, although the collapse in demand probably means there will never be higher capacity 2TB models enough though the "ugly" capacity number problem has gone away. Standard height, standard vertical density, 2.5" drives can only fit 2 platters...

Oldschool chipset block?

less than 10% of gamers on steam have a 3080 or better (closer to 5 I think but I didn't want to track down all the less common models and add them up); but devs offer halo quality settings that only people with top of the line cards can enjoy. If they can do something to make the game prettier...

1500W is the maximum sustained draw from a standard NEMA 5-15 outlet and 1500VA units are the largest consumer size as a result. A 20A 120V 5-20 outlet and a 2000VA unit would be a intermediate point between 5-15 and a 240V outlet; depending on your wiring might just require a new receptacle...

Mostly einstien @home for me. Whatever card was in my gaming machine of the time was overclocked because I never cared enough to see if there was a way to make it conditional, otherwise everything stock. but I doubt 5 years at 100% load was part of the spec; at least for the older cards.

I've been running distributed computing 24/7 on GPUs (and CPUs) since the GTX 260. For most of this time I had 3 systems running and passed old cards down from one to the next, before putting them away as emergency spares for a few more years. The only failures I've had were two old cards the...

I have a pair of LCDs that lost about 2/3rds of their brightness. They're at least 15+ years old and have been heavily used since I bought them used around '07. (20" 1200x1600 are almost the perfect size to use as side displays with a 32" 4k; and nothing new has came out in that...

I'll agree with that as far as it goes, but my case doesn't have a window, and while taking the door off is easier than opening up a wall cavity I'm not doing that if there isn't a problem, so like Zarathustra[H] I don't care about it's looks either.

Screaming like a banshee's a lot stronger than I'd put it, but both of mine were the loudest part in the system when running at full speed. Fortunately running at ~50% didn't impact temps by any significant amount (IIRC 1-2C at full heat soak) and massively quieted my system in the process.

Mounting it on a radiator obstructs strait through airflow by forcing a 90* bend in the path. I'm happy there are more options on the market for combined pump/res units than a ~decade ago when the only one I could find was swiftechs big tube on top of a DDC setup; but think I'll be giving...

for a 1 story building they should all be vertical. Your antennas effectively create a sheet of wifi around them.
