I have a new EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra I'm selling, with a few interested buyers, none of them local (unfortunately). I'm wary of selling a high-value item like this online via shipping/Paypal/eBay/etc. given the horror stories I've heard of sellers getting scammed due to payment services nearly...

Generally, does distance between m2 slot and CPU bear any impact whatsoever in terms of latency/performance/response time? Specifically, on a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master (with a WD Black SN750 1TB NVMe drive), there are 3x m2 slots. I've RTFM already (attached) and have had the SN750 plugged...

Those with Amazon Prime (and its fast receding benefits), "Madden 22" and "Surviving Mars" are available for "free", though must be claimed by March 31st. Prime Gaming

Is there a way to disable the utterly annoying mouse middle-click autoscroll function? It's activated by pressing the middle mouse button, usually in web browsers (but also other programs). When pressed, it changes the mouse cursor to an omnidirectional free-flow cursor, and wherever the pointer...

Twitch got leaked, and leaked hard: source code in its entirety -- not only Twitch's, but other Amazon/Twitch subsidiary projects like Amazon's Steam competitor, et al -- login/payment data (change your P's and 2(FA)'s), and the real juice: streamer payout data. It was no secret xQc was making...

New freebie: Battlefield 1: In the Name of the Tsar DLC free on Origin for a limited time. Can claim it even without owning Battlefield 1 in your library. Hoping Origin gives out B1 for free sometime soon :D

Really appreciate the suggestions, these look great! Genuinely excited. Any thoughts on the Samsung G7 vs. LG 32GP850? Both look like great monitors and seems they fared comparatively on Rtings. If recent sales are any indication, looks like it may be possible to snag a new G7 for mid $500's...

The day "Tree Style Tabs" -- a more or less Firefox-exclusive addon -- stops working is the day I never ride another fox of fire again. "Container tabs" has been pretty handy, as well, no longer having to juggle multiple browsers/incognitos to get separate cookie sessions. As for the privacy...

...and with Freesync or G-sync? I grabbed a Dell 32" 1440p Freesync (S3220DGF) last year only to discover that the thing is straight up haunted with all the ghosting going on in it. A shame, as it looks great otherwise. Though its Freesync feature is also pretty janky (unofficial using an...

I wouldn't hold your breath. I can't think of anything Microsoft has been successfully competitive with in the consumer market in the recent decade or so that didn't already have a monopolistic champ-by-default stranglehold on the market, e.g., Windows and Office. Not even Google can dent those...

There's no way this is over in ~2 months. Because it's not just a matter of suppliers climbing back to standard production output. Demand right now is heavily skewed due to a year and a half of people who have reached their "Time to upgrade" windows but have held off because of the...

This looks fun, I'll have to give this a go! I have some spare Arduinos, MSP430, and Raspberry Pi's I'll have to see if I can adapt to it.

If you're able to follow simple instructions off a tutorial, you have the skills to do it / learn it. If you search Youtube for "How to test power supply", you'll see a smattering of how-to videos showing you how to do this with your multimeter, able to do it in probably less than a minute --...

It all depends on the Craigslist/OfferUp/Facebook resale market wherever you live. I'd hop on each of those sites/services and search for used Aerons, see what pops up. No guarantees, sometimes it's just a matter of waiting for someone to be sell an item you're looking for (at a worthwhile...

Ahhh big RIP to me for not catching this sooner. Any possible chance anybody happens to have a spare BF4 key? My fault for missing out on this! I had hope until I read those infamous first five letters :LOL: I'm going to put those on my gravestone.

You really need a couple basic tools to know for sure, namely a multimeter for diagnosing, and a soldering iron if you want to repair. I would drop what you're researching and head straight to the store to at least buy a multimeter. It will more than pay for itself many times over. Hell, it can...

I'd forgo sinking that $100-200 into some chair that'll likely break or bottom out in some way in a year or two, having to drop another $100-200 to start the loop anew, and instead buy one of the "big dogs" you mentioned off Craigslist/OfferUp used. Even if it means having to spend an extra...

Can Cyberpunk still be saved? Is there a Cyber-"Witcher3" in the rough? I've been waiting to play it, but I want it to be, you know, finished, beforehand. Sounds like this may be a year out or so, which is fine. What I'm down about though is commentary saying there's no amount of fixing that...

Ok, but then how is the manufacturer supposed to sell your data in that scenario?

On an EVGA 3080/3090, how does the "ordering" of power draw work across their 3x power ports (+ PCIe slot)? For example, if a 3080 FTW3 suddenly needed 450W of power, how or in what order would that be drawn from: would it grab up as much power as it can get from one source before moving onto...

Awesome find, thanks! This game still sells for $15+ at a minimum, and still sells very well, even all these years later. I've heard that the content they add and the userbase numbers are the reason they haven't done GTA VI yet. Might be fun to get an [H] GTA robbery meetup going sometime :D

Damn, been needing a UPS after my last one bit the dust just recently (also a CyberPower). Any guesses if this deal is bound to come around again anytime soon, or was this a one-off freak sale?

How long have you had the CPU? Is this for the CPU + motherboard?

tl;dr: Windows 10 sucks I was just in the middle of debugging a network stack when I noticed connections going out to Microsoft going in the background. No biggie, I thought, Windows Update/Defender/whatever. I decided to peek at some of the packets, out of curiosity, and found this: These...

Can I ask how recently or far back this was? Not that I imagine much has significantly changed in LTSC since (that would change the outcome), just curious about general time period'ing. Thanks, that would be a deal-breaker for me, as well. How recently was this that you couldn't get VAC to...

This game looks insane. Like I-need-to-order-a-VR-headset-right-now level of insane. How much playing time have you gotten from it (or expect to)?

Windows vs. Linux aside, has anyone used LTSC 2019? How's that experience been? And has anyone modified an LTSC install to force Windows Store ability into it?

I definitely know and appreciate Linux has come a long way, and I'm always open to growing pains with change, but it definitely still has some non-trivial cons: Software support, e.g. Visual Studio (latest, at least) and Microsoft Office, particularly if you're someone that has to rely heavily...

Believe me, I would(n't) if I could. Really wish Linux would stop dicking around and catch up for once, as Microsoft needs a competitor to pop them and their abortion of an OS one right in the mouth, to bring things back to sanity with some Microsoft accountability. Mind sharing what those...

With the infinite loop of update insanity that is Windows 10, I've considered dipping my toes into LTSC waters again and again, each time thinking (foolishly) "Surely next update they'll iron everything out and it'll all be good." Well, I think it may finally be time. In context of...

Thanks. I was going to try hexing it, but if SPDIF Keep-Alive works, might as well use that instead. Too bad on AVR; I've used it for years and it's been great. It's dumb that it relies on connecting to a website to work. EDIT: I spoke too soon. The benefits of AVR Audio Guard I liked were the...

I wonder if it'd be possible to jury-rig AVR Audio Guard to work? Looking at the error log, it says that the manifest from the website couldn't be accessed. I wonder if we could manually feed/supply this instead? Also, does the SPDIF support HDMI?

With Mozilla selling out to Google/Chrome by moving to WebExtensions, thereby destroying their best asset of an extensive addon community, what's the next best choice as far as browsers go? Looking through my list of addons, I get depressed when I realize that most of them will die in the near...

I want to test how a program generates a seemingly unique system-id by "feeding" it parts of another (virtual) machine. For example, say I have VMware #1 and VMware #2, both "physically" identical machines, but with separate non-cloned Windows 7 installs. On VM1, test.exe generates a system-id...

Anyone know of any type of easy software method to "switchboard" individual audio channels from a 5.1/7.1 mix of an .mkv movie? I'd like the ability to easily switch through the audio channels of a playing movie file -- without too much trouble. In other words, I'd rather not have to extract...

Thanks. So is there more than one "way" to vsync then? Or are they both the same underlying function? Here's what I've always used for vsync -- however -- it's now leaving Starcraft 2's "animated" cutscenes un-vsynced, because they're not using Direct3D: Then there's this option to force...

Couple questions: *Is there a performance to be gained between methods of enabling vsync? (In-game, RP's "Direct3D Tweaks" (enabling/disabling via keyboard), "Visual"/CCC option ("Off, unless app says; On, unless app says; Always on") *What happens if more than one vsync option is enabled at...

As le suck as Flash is, I still prefer Youtube's flash player over html5. Unequivocally.

To be fair, every OS Microsoft has ever released has "required" a couple hours of tweaking and refining by power users. It's the very nature of being a power user. And this isn't knocking Microsoft, either -- of course MS is going to default-fit their OS for the bleeding majority grandparent...

I was stoked for this game. That is, until I saw gameplay footage. It looks like bland, generic footage used in game-engine demos, albeit without any of the new or revolutionary engine effects that garner ooh's and ahh's. And the chicken-McCheese gimmick of playing a static "F4T4L1tY"...
