I would absolutely have done just that, cashed in options to then be siting on 7 or 8 figure bank account in cash. Pump that into something that gives dividends, never worry about work again.
So in line with the guys wondering if the was they are only ones who don't give a dam about power consumption. Am I the only one who doesn't give a damn about 1080P gaming in 2023?
I have a 2080 Super and frankly with what I play I don't have any need to buy anything right now since I can play everything I like at 1440p. If you are in that same boat, pickup a used 20 series or 30 series - or if it does the job just do the 1070. 50 series is already getting news bites...
Several cards really left me feeling good about PC gaming but...Nothing has ever beaten the feeling of going from Software Rendering to GLQuake on the original 3Dfx Voodoo card. Later on, I had an 8800GTS that was great for a bit and then I loved my ATI 5870. That thing was fantastic...
Question for you all out there. I have never been an "audiophile" by any stretch, but I do appreciate good sound. The main thing is my hearing is mediocre. I have had a Bose Companion 5 on my computer for what seems like 10 years now. I have run my headphones out of them for a long time but I...
Will not happen. Steam will be the king for the foreseeable future. Until Gabe leaves its not even going to be challenged. EA thought they could do it. MS thought about it for a half second. I have all the free games on Epic and just one purchased game...RDR2 because that was where it was at...
Apple doesn't stop anyone from making (for example) an instant messenger app for iPhone and selling it in the App Store. Apple doesn't stop Skype, Teams or even Google Voice from working on an iPhone and being in the App Store. They aren't preventing competition. I just looked and Google...
You buy an apple device you get apple software - kinda makes sense. That is why Grandma can actually do a video call with the grandkids. You can choose to do otherwise jailbreak for example but it then doesn't play with apple stuff on everyone elses phone. You are effectively saying that you...
We will just have to disagree. There are thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of apps in the app store. Curating what is sold in their app store is not monopolistic. IMO.
The App Store is not required. I use a work iPhone. I have zero apps from the App Store. That said, I am not a normal use case, in fact likely very small.
Saying that I am charging you a cut to sell your software in my store is not monopolistic. You don't have a "right" to sell in my...
There is nothing stopping anyone from going Android or Jailbreaking an iDevice. Just because Apple makes it a PITA doesn't mean it is illegal and a monopoly. A walled-garden is just that...you play in their sand-box by their rules. Apple app store isn't the only sand box around.
I make no...
Not a good comparison. You aren't buying a replacement radio for Tesla for example. Apple has every right IMO to restrict the software they allow onto their walled-garden. You can always jail-break the iPhone if you want...and isn't that what Apple is saying..."We provide a curated service...
Honestly my MSI 980TI Seahawk does everything I ask it to at 1440. I like my monitor and until I go up in res with a new monitor it seems icky to say but I am good with what I have for now. I hope newer better faster comes out in the next gen or so. Until this card I haven't skipped a Video...
HuaWei is government owned - they try and spin it as being owned by the employee labor union but ... come on this is China. The country of China (PRC actually) is effectively masquerading as various companies in various marketplaces. In telecom they want everyone using their hardware so they...
This is not desperation...it is actually a very smart attempt to pull users into the epic store. They are forgoing some profits now for a much larger audience (and profits) later. Smart folks over there at epic - even if I personally dislike the idea of their store and buying timed exclusives.
Not a bad deal really if your a T-mobile customer and want to use them for your bank but it is only 4% up to 3k not worth changing banks when you can easily get 2%+ on your whole account elsewhere - without all the limitations they have.
Hey this is great for Kyle and the others getting "poached". Honestly it is good for Intel as well and we *might* benefit. Intel has to look and see their market share being threatened and possibly stagnant/regressing. They can't let that happen or they are in for a world of hurt. Intel has...
How in gods name does a character having an inventory with any amount of items cause server instability. With a programming background it makes no sense that a list (all they need to really have is a list of binary numbers indicating the item and properties) takes up any real space these days...
I concur - at 150+ with a decent base and several TSE weapons in my X01 it has gotten a bit boring. Last night I decided to try the PVP which I have avoided.
First - took all my caps and put on another account except for 100 caps to fast travel with.
Then I looked for random owned workshops...
I have been hoarding power cores - I have about 70 on me currently. (Batteries Included Perk) I have found lots in generators but I pick them up instantly. I go to all the PA locations and get those too when I am running around.I noticed the Whitesprings guys have them still but I did have one...
The enforcer perk makes shotguns a staple with my buddies and I. Nuked Whitesprings is where it shines but really anywhere it works great. Kneecap something and it starts limping after you. Shoot the other leg and it goes down to the ground and can't attack you unless you stand on it. It...
I have a Two Shot Gauss Rifle with +10% damage while aiming and vats critical meter fills faster (useless for me). It has 448 Dmg with my rifleman perks. I can one-shot the Ghouls at whitesprings in the head every time. I can two shot them in the body consistently. I can shoot the Scorchbeast...
I like to keep my hard tubes straight whenever possible but this looks like the perfect way to customize them for the perfect fit. Keeping all that fluid in is sometimes a bit [H]ard but it is necessary even with protective coverings.
Intel needs to watch themselves. I could still see using my old i7-920 for day to day it would be fine. For gaming my 2600k does fine still. It isn't like the latest 90s where you get massive gains anymore. We really have hit the spot where current software (daily productivity software) doesn't...
Vega I have a great appreciation for your reviews over the years and I have respect for your opinions. I absolutely believe you when you say it is the best possible available gaming monitor. That said I can't justify 2K on something like that monitor which may or may not have a cooling issue...
Well at the same time even if you don't use the same one, try and go be responsible for 50+ devices on a rolling 60 day window with mandatory changes. You will develop a method that is crackable as it is impossible for a person to remember truely random passwords changing 60 days on multiple...
