    Intel Publishes "X86-S" Specification For 64-bit Only Architecture

    Fair enough. I stand corrected The wording in certain places implied using virtualization for even all of 32-bit support, along with the removal of certain functionality that would seem to break 32-bit user mode in general. It makes a bit more sense I suppose as 32 & 64 bit modes are flat and...

    Intel Publishes "X86-S" Specification For 64-bit Only Architecture

    Not sure what your context is here, but if it's just about x86-S, cite it or bite it. X86-S is a fully 64-bit architecture. It has exactly zero legacy support for 32-bits in the ISA. Any legacy comparability would be provided through virtualization only. The X86-S ISA does away with many of...

    Intel Publishes "X86-S" Specification For 64-bit Only Architecture

    Um, why? There are virtually zero benefits for most code outside of certain scientific applications and various numerical analysis applications that need higher precision that can be had by migrating away from 32-bit. Truly, the only real NEED for larger-than-32-bit anything really revolves...

    HF FS/T scam - thoughts / a nod to the community

    The other alternative if you don't want to be a tightwad about taxes is to simply donate whatever crap you intend to sell to a charitable. Then you can stick it to the man and write off the value of whatever you got rid of instead of paying taxes on it.

    WTT: 1070Ti for a physically smaller gpu

    I have an MSI 1070 Ti Duke that I upgraded out of my machine. I intended on passing it down to one of the kids, but with ITX boxes it fits in neither case due to height of all things. I'm the original owner on the card, it lived in my desktop and was used for gaming. Looking to trade for an...

    Gigabyte RX 6800 Gaming OC $469

    HF FS/T scam - thoughts / a nod to the community

    I'll happily F&F if I know you and I can verify it's you. If I don't know you - well, this ain't craigslist where I'm going to walk away with something physically in my hands when I hand over my money... so you're going to get G&S. If you want to dodge taxes (regardless of what you think of...

    GameStop Stock keeps going up no end in sight

    Or - they've axed costs down to bare minimum to stay alive and not much else changed. 20% is an irrational jump for the activity they posted which means yes, it's still a meme stock and you'll likely lose your shirt if you buy in now.

    WTB: ITX Mobo/CPU and maybe a case

    Hey folks, looking to put together a machine for my little girl as she is now growing into games that won't run well on the laptop she uses. I'm looking for an ITX motherboard, possibly a CPU and RAM as well depending on what I find for a board. Ideally looking for an AM4 board, B450/B550 ITX...

    Logitech G600 MMO Mouse -$34.99

    Ah, got me. I saw g602 in the op and got lost, but yeah, same lineage with the g600 switches. Just not durable at all.

    Logitech G600 MMO Mouse -$34.99

    Very comfortable mouse with great battery life, but as I've said in other threads where it has come up on sale the main button switches are trash and won't last long. I've been through 2x that I got maybe 9 months before lmb failed or double/ghost clicked regularly.

    Amazon Preparing to Offer Home Internet

    It's still a hard cap. Anything that alters your service after a certain threshold in my opinion is a hard cap. I won't bother quibbling over terminology here. But when "best effort" in many cases (especially with Starlink) will be nigh unusable, it's effectively a hard cap.

    Amazon Preparing to Offer Home Internet

    Being currently on Starlink, I was excited that I could get something better than 5/1 DSL (on a good day). A month after I got it I was hit with a price increase and caps. That rubbed me wrong. If Kupier has a more affordable price point with no caps, I may be inclined to try them out...

    4TB teamgroup nvme $259

    Fresh out of the box, motherboard is an Asus Crosshair VIII Hero with an AMD 3900x at stock. It's as fast as my Sabarent Rocket 1TB NVMe which is my boot drive that I bought when I put this system together a couple years ago. For a Steam drive, I'm not going to complain.

    4TB teamgroup nvme $259

    Huh... interesting. I got a shipping notice from Amazon saying it will be here monday. That's unusual since they usually sit on my orders for a week+ and then ship with UPS Blue. Either way, still 1+ weeks for Prime shipping is shit, which has been the norm for the last six months for me.

    Welp, I *was* going to spend $240 on a Crucial mx500, but after thinking about this one for an hour I swiped right. This will be my new steam/Xbox game drive. Should fit what? Like 3 games?

    If you've been expired expired, then yes you should be able to do it. I had GPU for a year and change a couple years back after upgrading XBL Gold with the $1 deal which had expired a good while ago. Last month I bought 3x XBox Live Gold 12 month cards when Costco had them on sale, plugged...

    2TB teamgroup SATA SSD $99

    The EX2 specifically says it supports TRIM. The AX2 does not. Other than that, the EX2 claims slightly better transfer speeds. Possibly a different controller between them would be my guess, can't find any reviews of the AX2 that say. The only other thing I can find is the AX2 is listed as...

    NVIDIA's RTX 4080 Problem: They're Not Selling & MSRP Doesn't Exist

    Logitech G604 for $39.99 at Amazon and Best Buy

    I had two that ended up in the trash because of this. I love the feel and ergonomics of the mouse, and even better for using AA batteries (they last a year plus where I replace AAA batteries in other mice every few months), but their buttons just can't handle the beating.

    Voice Assistants Dying, Alexa $10 Billion Loss Expected in 2022

    What exactly did they expect people to do with a connected speaker (with honestly pretty damn phenomenal audio quality for what it is)? I mean my Alexa units are mostly glorified light switches. I honestly see no rational function that they have or can do that could realistically be monetized...
