Things break. I've had add-on cards die before. It's pretty easy to understand that if your laptop wifi card died you would replace it with a new one... not much point of having a laptop without wifi.... and hey... if I'm going to replace it, might as well add the best one, it's not like it's...

I guess that makes my 7700k worth like $63000 because think of how much faster it is compared to that 386 I paid $400 for back in 1990. The idea that it is faster so it should cost more is BS (for new generation same tier hardware). Nvidia needs people to upgrade since they sell hardware. No...

Not a bad deal i today's market, I still think midrange cards should never top $350 though.

At about that price you can get an enclosure and 512GB NVME which will be way faster and hold a lot more data. https://www.amazon.com/**********-NVMe-Enclosure-Gbps-Support/dp/B08G14NBCS https://www.amazon.com/Intel-512GB-Internal-Solid-SSDPEKNU512GZX1/dp/B08X4YHJ7L

Shame they cripple it with their locked down OS. Doesn't matter how good the hardware is if I can't run what I want on it. If sideloading apps through package files was a standard feature I'd switch over in a second.

Yeah, the first thing I'd feed this thing is the terminator series. Sorry to anybody actually named John Connor.

Please eject Bobby Kotick into the sun. That is all.

Even if another exemption is granted, we're not going to see new midrange to high-end GPUs for $200~$300 any time soon. All this means is they aren't going to see any money from me any time soon. In 2010 I bought a brand new full warranty RTX 460 for $190 in the first month of launch...

And yet if they didn't have the data then they couldn't lose it. Ie. It's a perfect example of why zero trust is a thing.

Positions like this is how we end up with data brokers like Equifax handling tons of very sensitive data while having the databases connected to the internet and protected by the username / password combo of "admin / admin"...

Ebay has lots of good newly used stuff. I bought a laptop there for $189 shipped about 3 weeks ago. Dell 5400 with an i7-8665u, 16 gb ram, 256 ssd, 14 inch 1920x1080 ips, a good battery and charger. RAM was in single stick configuration so once it arrived I pulled the model number with cpuz...

Wrong. 2019 wasn't over a decade ago. Order Details Ordered on February 17, 2019 The board was cheaper elsewhere, I just wanted to get it all in one shipment, but it was below $95 back then through non-amazon stores.

No thanks. I'll just opt out and keep my 1070. Just because I have money to spend doesn't mean I'm going to be stupid about it and overpay. They can take their robbery prices and stuff them you know where.

These prices are going all Tom Petty... Now I'm free I'm free fallin' Yeah, I'm free Free fallin'

Oh well, sounds like their problem, not mine. At the end of the day they need my money more than I need their luxury item. I have a list of interests longer than my finances allow, so I just cross off PC gaming and do something else, no skin off my back. I still say this whole thing is...

That's ridiculous on the face of it alone, not saying you are lying, but it is ridiculous. A bit of common sense should prevail here. If it's a facility that *only* produces new goods or whatnot, then it's likely the contents/products inside the facility are all owned by the business and would...

How the hell does a company get the balls to tray to sell things that don't belong to them? Like, if a auto repair shop folds up while my car is there they don't have the legal ability to sell my vehicle to somebody else.

Yes, but they were also doing a lottery to try to keep a couple people from sucking up all the cards. Doesn't excuse the extras thing, but still...

This isn't a typical market though. Hordes of used cards are available now. Way more than in the past. The value depreciation of a card (new or used) this cycle is greater than in the past. If they don't want to go 50% off MSRP, that's fine, I'll keep my money and they can keep their card...

100% They can go to hell. Cards available for MSRP? Who cares, it's 2 year old tech at this point. I'll buy a "new" 3000 series at 50% off MSRP, otherwise go jump in a river. I'm not going to pay MSRP for old tech, end of story. You (nVidia) abandoned us gamers for miners, so why don't you...

My response^

Agree. Now also do what I'm doing. I won't buy a used card no matter what. Make them eat the hardware cost. It will discourage them from going bonkers again.

The answer to that is they can suck my toes... that way my heel will be in like with their throat.

Still using an edgerouter 3 from 2015ish.

Was going to say basically this. I have two kids. The rule is no "entertainment" electronics (laptops, tablets, phones, etc.) in the bedroom after bed time. Period. Non entertainment electronics are fine, ie. an alarm clock. It really is that simple. Set up a rule. Enforce it. Done.

Like most things "internet", if it gets used for porn successfully then it will be successful overall.

Was cautiously optimistic since they had a good long time to put this together (matrix 4). The caution was warranted. This movie was boring to the point I didn't even bother finishing it - Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.

Ring me up when you can buy a GPU for a reasonable price. Until then - whatever.

Who wants some? Shake it baby.

If you're going to charge me a fee beyond the cost of the product to simply shop at your store then I won't buy anything there. It's really that simple. Big one on that list is Target. They just lost all of my weekly business.

Yeah, screw that literacy and writing nonsense. Who needs that anyways?! :whistle:

Not surprising. This is what you get when your computing devices are "magic" and "just work". Kids get tablets and they use a touch interface to Launch colorful apps (not executable programs). They never interact with or even see the folder structure so why is it a surprise they don't know...

Similar, the big difference to me is the Intel parts always seemed to get better - likely due to manufacturing process maturity, the products did not go backwards. G0 stepping was better than B3, but it came out after B3. Hard to complain about products getting better as time goes on...

I've soured on them somewhat. I had two 450 watt Seasonic Focus Gold +'s fail. No real power load on them, media center PCs without a dedicated video card so they had a pretty "easy" life, not cooped up in a closed box either so heat wasn't an issue. One at my home and one at my parents...

Meh, I'll stick with my 7700K. I did want to upgrade my MB/CPU/Video card but with the vendors chasing short term profits over prioritizing availability for long term customers, F em', I'll spend my money elsewhere.

I'd replace the battery in my 3.5 year old phone and keep using it but i can't. Verizon att and tmo are shuting down their 3g networks at the end of the year. My phone uses 3g for calling and 4g for data. It doesn't support volte so my only choice is to get a damn new phone or not have voice...

Just what we need.. a slow ass vehicle that has no qualms about driving down the center median of the road. Oh, and the whole point of ordering delivery is so I don't have to go out in the rain etc. to get it. With this I'll still have to walk out to the curb and get soaked.... Thanks, but...
