    So, 6800 from 1080 a worthy upgrade?

    Shopping therapy perhaps hehe, but since I have to have the house listed by the end of June, I am further delayed /sigh But hey, might get whatever is top then. Won't have a house payment then at least. She is doing much better, but honestly part of the divorce is to kick her in the behind to...

    So, 6800 from 1080 a worthy upgrade?

    Thanks. My purchasing plans took a small detour due to my wife drinking my money away for the past few months and my finding out. I'm celebrating my Valentine's day with my soon to be ex-wife in Detox so it may be a little longer, but if I can find a good deal on a 6800 I will try to snag it...

    5600X actually, with 16 gigs of RAM and a EVO NVMe drive, so the rest isn't bad. I'm still shopping honestly.

    So, 6800 from 1080 a worthy upgrade?

    I just have a 4k Samsung TV as primary and a Dell 27"as secondary running at 19x12 resolution. Pretty sure the TV just has a 60 refresh. Sorry, on my phone...

    So, 6800 from 1080 a worthy upgrade?

    Gotta use Amazon gift cards, yay Christmas, but I have a 1080 now. Trying to keep it under $500 too, as I don't want to add too much of my own $ into it. It looks like I could get this: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0BCR4FKLB/?coliid=IK7E535Z5PXWP&colid=CTYNC0BWM1DB&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it...

    NAS for Business backups?

    Yes, but I want a box I don't have to build... One might almost consider me lazy in this, and I just saw that Veeam certifies QNAP NAS with their product which leads me to do that... NOT because I am not already building a home grown box at home using Zorin Linux on a gaming PC to also be a...

    NAS for Business backups?

    I'm working at a place with a bunch of offices scattered around, and with 15-50 people at remote offices. I'm trying to set up a local VEEAM repository at each location for their desktops/laptops and I need a good solid decently fast NAS or such for on site storage. I don't need the 10GB, as...

    What do I do with a E5-2687W Processor?

    Well, I ended up in a meeting that morning, and couldn't get out of it in time to snag the proc. On the other hand, I'm feeling a little more secure in my job... so eh, right now, that works for me.

    What do I do with a E5-2687W Processor?

    I was given the opportunity to raid a Dell T630 but I cannot take the entire box. It only has 64 gig ram and 1 TB of HD space, and while I might swipe the perc, it is basically useless except on a similar motherboard... BUT the CPU could be useful on other motherboards, if I can find one...

    "Captain Marvel" Trolled the Trolls with a $455M Global Launch

    I'll make it very simple and clear: Captain Marvel is really worth a watch. It's just entertaining and visually impressive, exactly what it was meant to be. Just keep this in mind that it's an origin story so don't go looking for an overstuffed complex story. It's just a fun action movie that...

    ASUS Maximus XI Apex Motherboard Broken Down

    Just from experience and listening to other people irl, as long as the ASUS MB works, it'll work great and you'll be happy with it, but let's just say that i wouldn't want to go down the support rabbit hole for another ASUS product. Let me know when that is fixed, and I'll consider them again...

    Forbes Tries To Game on Linux

    Get my WoW running well on Linux, preferably a redhat-based distro due to the privacy issues with anything based on Debian, and I'll give it a solid shot. In the meantime, I am on 10, which is about the worst privacy-rated OS there is, if not THE worst. Yay for Tor browser, VPNs, and other...

    Samsung Patent Hints at Modular All-in-One Desktop PC

    Only way this would be better or new would be if they included a new type of bus which is faster than the latest PCIE or such so things can actually communicate better than they already do. Somehow I doubt that such a method was included in this "design" patent. Then again, Apple has made...

    Companies Are Using Facebook to Exclude Older Workers from Job Ads

    And it IS blatantly unlawful.... but then so is so much these corporations are doing nowadays, until they can get big enough to change the law itself, which a lot of them are already doing... I guess what I'm saying is that just because it may be lawful over time, that doesn't make it RIGHT.

    FCC Plans December Vote to Kill Net Neutrality Rules

    Encryption Showdown? FBI Can’t Get into Texas Church Shooter’s Phone

    I am definitely more pro-privacy than a few of you on here, but then I used to be MI, and I have a few ideas and thoughts on the matter formed over years of distrusting those people I was in the government armed forces with me. I have spoken before on the quality of people I was in the MI with...

    Encryption Showdown? FBI Can’t Get into Texas Church Shooter’s Phone

    Encryption really isn't the problem here. How he managed to get access to the weapons he had were the issue. Besides, I think most of us here realize that in time, it'll be cracked and such anyway, as they have always been, and they find some small tidbit they didn't have before, but likely...
