    What was your justification for RTX 2080 ti?

    I had money, I had a 1080, decided to just get it because I want happiness more than money, and video cards make me happy.

    EVGA RMA Experience: 1070TI for a $200 980TI

    I sold my 980Ti to a guy right after receiving my 1080 (and well before I knew that I'd be stepping up to a 2080 Ti, thanks EVGA!) Two months after the guy bought it off of me on Craigslist he messaged me and asked if I still had a warranty on the card. I told him I still did and as long as he...

    First RTX 2080 Benchmarks Hit the Web with DLSS

    Chart titles typically don't contain any conclusions, they label the data being displayed. I'm sure you are correct, but that chart is worthy of being posted on https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisugly/ and provides absolutely zero additional information beyond "1 ... 1.5 ... 2" and a list of...

    First RTX 2080 Benchmarks Hit the Web with DLSS

    The very top says: RTX 2080: 2X 1080 ...are they implying that they were running two 1080's in SLI when benchmarking this? I too enjoy publishing numbers with zero context and no axis labeled.

    MSI GTX 980TI Gaming 6G - $562.82

    BOOOOO! Only one DVI port. :( ...just kidding, while it only has one DVI port, still a great price for a 980 Ti!

    Thanks for the PMs, I'm locking this thread down and marking it sold since I have 4 potential buyers. Working my way through them.

    Looking for a good wifi router

    I am using a TP-LINK Archer C7. It's an AC1750 device with a few USB ports, 4 gigabit ports and a few other features. I got it for about $70 from Staples.com when it was on sale and I had coupons. So far it's been pretty reliable, but I hear great things about those several ASUS products...

    HW Firewall for home

    The router is a hardware firewall (most likely.) It might not have a wide array of features, but which features are you interested in compared to what a simple wireless/wired router would provide? Ideally, if your current router is a wireless router, you would put the hardware firewall...

    Best Firewall for under 200 bucks for an Office of 6-10 Users

    Well for him I wouldn't recommend that solution--install it on a machine and hook up a 15" CRT for when he needs to access it directly. No Windows definitely! :) I was only mentioning my use-case, I figured he'd be solid enough to figure out that would be a sub-optimal solution for his needs.

    Best Firewall for under 200 bucks for an Office of 6-10 Users

    For my house (anywhere from 5-50 devices connected, depending on whether or not I'm hosting a LAN party) I use a pfSense box. I built a Core i3 machine with 8GB of RAM, put Windows on it (Win7 Pro x64) and am running a virtualized pfSense installation using VMware. This leaves the machine...

    How do you store and manage passwords at work?

    PasswordSafe for me. I use it in combination with PasswdSafe and PasswdSafeSync on my Android device, utilizing Google Drive for storing the password file and all backups. Sync it across 4 devices without issue!

    free graphics intensive game?

    Some folks say Planetside 2's graphics engine (ForgeLight) is pretty intense. I haven't had a "weak" system to compare it against, but it'll run my FPS pretty low in large-scale fights. Pretty easy to find a larger fight, too--just hit "Instant Action" once you log on.

    KNC Titan Scrypt ASIC 250mhash @ 800-1000w

    I don't want anything to do with it, LOL. The manufacturers of this supposed printing press can make whatever claims they want. They don't see profit in manufacturing and running these units... or, rather, they see more profit in manufacturing and selling them to YOU (or someone else.)...

    KNC Titan Scrypt ASIC 250mhash @ 800-1000w

    As I noted in the other thread about KnC: who the hell sells a printing press? You use it until it becomes unprofitable, then sell it to fund your next printing press.

    Kickstarter Success Story Thinks Kickstarter Might Be Unethical

    Kickstarter is for funding ideas, not final products. That you even get a final product is a promise, not a guarantee. You are funding someone (or some company's) idea. If they manage to complete the idea AND have funds left to generate a reward/final product then you get one. Wish I could...

    Another exchange hacked - one of the "bigger" boys this time.

    When you deposit in an American bank you have a guarantee that, if the funds should be stolen and the bank proves it had adequate safeguards in place to thwart those types of efforts, that you'll be reimbursed by the government's insurance policy for banks (FDIC). When you deposit your...

    The real scrypt ASICs are coming... KnCMiner is in the game now.

    The BTC argument has been passed around a lot. ASICs for scrypt are a whole different beast. I have no doubt they will eventually come out, but scrypt is intentionally designed to be difficult to implement in this fashion. I'm saying one of two things are happening: 1) They don't exist and...

    The real scrypt ASICs are coming... KnCMiner is in the game now.

    ...they are thoroughly testing how gullible people are as they use each miner until they are unprofitable, then ship it out to people who fronted thousands of dollars for the privilege of using a piece of hardware that's no longer worth the price of admission. Again: nobody sells you a...

    Another exchange hacked - one of the "bigger" boys this time.

    I give you $20. You lose the $20 when someone steals it from you. How should it go? This is 100% exactly what is happening with exchanges. STOP KEEPING MONEY IN EXCHANGES FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. Problem solved.

    The real scrypt ASICs are coming... KnCMiner is in the game now.

    The only thing y'all need to consider is this: why would a company sell a printing press when they could run it themselves and make a profit? Be wary of the person offering to sell you a printing press!

    Electric Car Owner Arrested For Stealing 5 Cents Of Power

    It'd probably be closer to 'he stole a cup of coffee from the school break room' in terms of actual cost parity. I was fine overlooking the cost as it's the act of taking something that isn't yours to take that matters, but if you want to nitpick then I suppose we can go that route as well.

    That isn't how public funds work. You can't walk in to a police station and steal a taser just because it's "taxpayer funded".

    pfSense question

    It's possible you're adding the extra pain in this process to learn more about routing, but it probably isn't necessary in this case. If you have three NICs you could do supernetting instead, which would solve this problem (and provide additional flexibility in the process.) It's what I do...
