    SOLD: i9-11900K, ASRock Z590 OC FORMULA, Crucial Ballistix 3600 64GB (32GBx2)

    I'm so tempted. I haven't had a proper desktop build in 10 years. Hmm..

    Anyone hear from user "Ins0mnyteq" recently?

    I know this type of thing isn't new, or unique, but damn it sure guts me to see it. I hope justice finds him at the most inconvenient moment.

    Anyone hear from user "Ins0mnyteq" recently?

    How this guy didn't get neg feedback sooner, I have no idea. We all have a responsibility to leave feedback even if it means a retaliatory ding in return. If we can't leave honest feedback, Heatware is useless.

    ND40oz **Possible Compromised Account**

    These things seem to unfold, and get caught within an hour or two generally, so maybe waiting a few hours before sending payment would add an extra layer of security.

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    Awww come on, what's wrong with Interstellar? Probably my favorite modern film, and I'm a Nolan hater!

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    But hey, that's just me. While I suspected it wouldn't be great, I hoped I'd be proven wrong. I am a big fan of the original trilogy, but this just didn't "feel" like a Matrix movie to me. I'd personally give it a 5 - 5.5 out of 10.

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    It needed more Ryan Reynolds, and less everyone else lol I was probably hasty in calling in a turd, if we're being honest it just wasn't my cup of tea. Though I do love a good Reynolds comedy in general.

    The white knights over at Rotten Tomatoes are propping up the score, but it isn't helping.

    As much of a mess as Free Guy was, it really is the more polished of the two turds.

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    It does a disservice to women, in my opinion. Kill Bill is a fine example of an original film written for, and starring, a strong female lead - and a badass series of films.

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    I am a man of honor, and I am here to eat my crow. While I didn't expect it to be fantastic, I still thought the lemmings would make it a hit on name alone - I was wrong, nothing could save that horrid piece of excrement.

    Has PayPal held money for anyone else recently?

    Yep, this has been my experience as well. Paypal's fraud prevention algorithm is a real mystery - I've had funds held for low value items at times, but not high value. Then there was the time they randomly closed my account, refused to explain why except to say 'suspicious activity', and would...

    Deals on cyber monday / black friday?

    Depends on how you define normal. Now that consumers have exposed their hand, why would anyone sell for less than current? I can't see any good reason to charge less until people show they are unwilling to pay it, and I'm not sure we've even hit the ceiling on that.

    dutnguye is saying he was hacked, and today he had a quick sale -he posted over at AT and ssaid he heatware was hacked as well. This is a FYI

    I agree with most folks in this thread - some good advice being shared. Crypto is typically a no-go for me, unless it is an item that is tough to find elsewhere, and the seller goes through the proper steps to show me the sale is legit. Even then, there is serious pause. I've known about the 2FA...

    Worth selling/shipping a case?

    Well, I ended up gifting it to a friend whose daughter is asking Santa for a gaming rig. Thanks for all of the replies, and advice!

    RTX 30 Laptops

    Right on, congrats! I love the damn thing. The RAM is the only downside I could really find - I replaced it right away since I wanted 32GB anyway. The included SSD is serviceable but runs reallyyyyyyy hot compared to the 2TB I added. I've been playing Amazon's new MMO - New World, and it runs...

    How often do you replace power supply?

    Good info, and absolutely true. In fact, in most of my electronic failures a capacitor has been the culprit, and the device several years old. Most recently was a monitor with cheap capacitors - replaced and it's still working fine. These days, I'll typically just replace whatever it is that...

    WTB: BNIB Xbox Series X

    Edit: Found one! Starting the search before Xmas for my son. Has to be BNIB, or the wife would kill me. Let me know if you have one for sale!

    How often do you replace power supply?

    Really depends on the age of the PSU for me. If it's 8-10 years old, and I'm doing a new build, or major overhaul, I'll usually replace it. This is mostly paranoia, but I've seen some really awful crap happen when a PSU dies (took a motherboard, and 2 hard drives with it). Only time I've seen or...

    Worth selling/shipping a case?

    I plan to post it, work has just left me deflated lately - I will likely post it this weekend. It's unopened in the original box, so that is how it will ship. I'll post up the weight, and dimensions, too. I should've said this sooner, but THANK YOU to everyone for the replies to this thread. I...

    Twitch Majorly Leaked

    Some pretty interesting perspectives in this thread. I knew streamers made bank, but phew. If I ever earn this type of cheddar, I'll kick a chunk at the crowd doing the real dirty jobs - sewage treatment, garbage men, and the people responsible for cleaning up the sidewalk dumps in San Fran...

    Leaks are trickling in but the Bionic A15 seems to be beating the Exynos 2200 for GPU performance

    Interesting stuff for sure. The leap ahead by Apple is good news even for the Apple haters like me - competition drives innovation. Still though, Apple can suck it. 😁

    Cryix 133 mhz

    This was my first build after moving from a 486. Loved that damn thing! Then came 3D gaming, and I no longer loved it lol

    Iptorrent Invites

    As it turns out, the problem seems to be the shift in the torrent world that I missed (my fault), and why my ratio slipped some on my other tracker. For several years now, I've almost exclusively used auto-downloaders for media torrents (CouchPotato/SickBeard variations). I rarely torrent...

    Could always 3D print a shroud, or find someone here to do it for a nominal fee.

    Summer of 58 Dev quits over steam return policy

    No one can ever know for certain, I think that was pretty obvious coming into this discussion. We'll never have the data to confirm either way. I'll also say the naivete of the author, and the douchebaggery of those refunding aren't mutually exclusive - both are probably true.

    Summer of 58 Dev quits over steam return policy

    Typically I'd agree, but it is priced accordingly, IMO. Not piracy - they don't keep the game after refunded. One is legal, the other is not - that matters to some people. Some of them are, yes, and they state as much. How do we ever truly know anything is good? You can't know it's good...

    Summer of 58 Dev quits over steam return policy

    No replay value, essentially a one and done experience. There isn't really an agenda being pushed - an abnormally large number of people are refunding a game with 'Very positive' reviews. It's anomalous. There were also posts on reddit (among other places) explaining the loophole, and how to...

    Worth selling/shipping a case?

    It's a brand new in box Seasonic Syncro Q7 case (retails for $240). I'll do more research tonight, but it's looking like CL/FB Marketplace might be a better option so far.

    Worth selling/shipping a case?

    Looks like I'd still be nearing $100 for shipping with UPS ground via Shippo for the case. Ouch. It's a big box... roughly 28"x15"x26" and 33lbs. Will check other Pirateship, and Paypal shipping link.

    Summer of 58 Dev quits over steam return policy

    Here is the real issue - these people aren't getting a refund because they felt cheated, or disliked the game - they are leaving positive reviews, or at least not leaving a negative review (why wouldn't you, if you felt the game wasn't worth the price??). These are cheapskate jerks looking to...

    Worth selling/shipping a case?

    Don't recall ever selling a case - is it worthwhile? I'm thinking shipping might not be feasible due to cost, but maybe I'm wrong. I have a BNIB Seasonic Syncro Q7 and PSU, but I have no need for them. Guessing it's either CL or take a big hit shipping it?

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    Wasn't trying to be rude, but I didn't have much to say that would be interesting/thought-provoking. Some things we agree on, or at least find a middle ground (it won't be a GREAT movie). I do expect it to do well in theaters (relative to other BIG films in the pandemic) despite streaming same...

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    I was just thinking that myself lol If you think about it, the youth people love to complain about were created by GenX/Millennial parents, so they are obviously to blame!

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    Strawman? No, I've been quite clear, but you seem to have strayed from the original intent... He believes piracy can/will prevent Matrix 4 from doing well in theaters, and I'm arguing against that.
