    FS: Two System Part Outs - Intel 3930K & Threadripper 1950X

    Selling out two older builds. Prefer to sell each build as a package deal rather than piecemeal. Everything is in 100% functional condition and good to excellent cosmetic condition. System 1: Intel 3930K CPU Asus x79 Sabertooth mobo 32 GB (4x8) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 ram Noctua NH D14 CPU...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    I also got a robo call from LG saying I should expect my pre-order to ship the 16th or so. This is part of a monitor setup revamp and will sit alongside a MSI MPG321UR QD. I’m planning on using the LG primarily for gaming and the MSI for software development, productivity, etc.

    Resident Evil Village and RE:4 Remake for iOS/macOS

    I recently finished RE4R and its Separate Ways DLC on PC and I can say it's a masterpiece and easily the best game I played last year (sorry BG3). That said I really have no interest in playing it again on iOS, especially not for another $40. One of the best parts of RE4R was being constantly...

    Apple 'Scary Fast' Mac event October 30th

    My original delivery date was 11.21 so I wasn't expecting this until next week. Keep an eye on the tracking info I suppose. Similar in kind to "Dynamic Island" on the iPhones, basically extending the physical notch digitally and adding the extra space for notifications and such. Probably...

    Apple 'Scary Fast' Mac event October 30th

    Thanks, I'm sure you'll love it as I'm already impressed with how snappy it is compared to my 2019 Intel-based 16" MBP. I’m also doing development work and the extra horsepower is not only time saving but actually opening up new approaches that previously weren’t viable.

    Review the game you finished recently.

    Resident Evil 4 Remake (PC) It's been a minute since I've played a Resident Evil game as RE3 was my last foray into the survival horror series some 20 odd years ago. I tend to play RPG and strategy games so I lost interest as the RE games got more action oriented. After finishing Resident Evil...

    Meta Quest 3

    Really tempted to pick this up. I have a Quest 2 with a dozen or so games but have logged a grand total of ~3 lifetime hours. Just something about the clunkiness and visuals that bother me enough to avoid using it altogether. Really wonder if the Quest 3 improvements are enough to cross me into...

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    Got to T4 playing solo sorc at level 63 and basically hit a brick wall in willingness to play after realizing I've pretty much seen it all. I agree with a lot of the criticisms - there's something fundamentally missing in the core game-play, making it a shallow, unsatisfying experience despite...

    Intel 13900K on Amazon for $409

    Intel 13900K on Amazon for $409

    Still ~$560 on MC and NE so not sure what's going on here. I've been toying with a new build so have been keeping tabs on the 13900k. When I saw this the other day I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger. Tomorrow we'll find out if I receive a real processor or a brick. Fulfilled by Amazon though.

    Replacement for netgear nighthawk r7000 router

    The R7000 to EdgeRouter 4 was the most dramatic difference, ER4 to UDM Pro was a more modest improvement.

    Replacement for netgear nighthawk r7000 router

    I upgraded from the R7000 to the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 and eventually switched to the Dream Machine Pro. The difference was like night and day, to say the least. However, it came with a higher cost and an initial learning curve.

    3'rd largest coin miner declares bankruptsy

    Ah some things never change. Every bear market since I've learned about Bitcoin has the same types coming out of the woodwork to cheer the decline and prognosticate on Bitcoin's demise. It is telling how the counterarguments have evolved over time - from "it's not real, it's a scam, only used by...

    Tesla Announces Steam OS Integration

    Indeed, especially considering this is "free" additional functionality enabled over an OTA update. The fact that owners now have the option of playing their Steam library on the go when they couldn't before is pure gravy. People comparing the use case to a home system - as if the decision was...

    An additional $400+ to play on a 7" screen or play for no additional cost on a 17" screen? I'm good with the latter.

    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread

    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread

    Curious then, if you have experience with both the good and bad, why was your initial reaction to warn against deeds you yourself have undertaken with success? Your words implied the only possible result was having kindness taken advantage of, which is not representative of your own experience.

    Aha! Perhaps there is an unlucky gamer chap in this very thread who despite vigorous effort has not yet procured a RTX card? If there is such an individual whom a quorum can vouch for, willing to solemnly swear on scout's honor it won't flipped, and has a lot of trade feedback please step forth!

    I see this world has jaded you my friend. Fear not for me as I am excellent judge of character. I once was able to identify a stranger's profession as a doctor despite he being off duty solely by the angle of his eyebrows. In the off chance I'm unable to find such a humble and deserving gamer it...

    Perish the thought. Being GPU Jesus I'm confident I can spot sin as easily as a cheeto stain on a plain white T. Of course I would only sell to the most deserving (aka most ass kissing).

    Man I just got (another) EVGA Product Availability Update Notification, this time for a RTX 3070 FTW. At some point in the past I must've registered to be notified on several different GPU models because a few weeks back I received a notice for a EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3, which is now sitting...

    EVGA is giving 24 hour priority queue access to Elite members

It came out to 627.45 USD altogether so I figured why not? Crazy thing is...

    Is Windows 10 20H2 the worst windows yet?

    I have a Win 10 primary desktop, multiple MacOS laptops, and a server running Linux in my home. I recently swapped my desktop's Win 10 LTSB for Win 10 Pro in order to play Cyberpunk 2077 and I'm honestly surprised at how crappy this operating system is, especially since I had no complaints with...

    looking to upgrade unibiqiti AC PRO access points.

    Both the previous AC Pro and the AC HD are set to VHT20 for 2.8 and VHT40 on 5 GHz. The AC PRO is still on my network (just moved to the basement) so I'm not just recalling the settings from memory. AFAIK it's as much an apples-to-apples comparison as one can get.

    looking to upgrade unibiqiti AC PRO access points.

    I actually just replaced an AC PRO with a HD earlier this week. As a drop in replacement, my wireless speeds have gone from ~200 to 350 mbps out of a 500 mbps internet connection.
