    Bought a couple of this SK hynix. Was considering Samsung 980 Pro M.2 2TB until I saw its abysmal Linux ext4 performance.

    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread

    i haven't had any luck in buying a single 30xx gpu online from NE, BB, Amazon, BH, etc since early December. Signed up all the discord channels to be notified. Most of the time, I can't even add them to cart. When I did succeed in adding to cart, the gpu is gone before I can check out. Even...

    Should have bought a 1080 Ti

    I agree. Wish I didn't give away my 8800GTX. Also glad I got 2 1080ti hybrid atm. They will allow me to skip over this current gen's fubar.

    NVIDIA Leads the Race to the Bottom As Its Stock Takes a 54% Hit in 4Q18

    NVDA will be in good company. With the Dow, S&P, Nasdaq 100, and Russell 2000 February low decisively breached, you can expect much more downside across the board. May even rhyme with the dotcom and 2008 crash... The Dow can retrace to 14K ish, and the decade long rally would still be...

    Bitcoin Tumbles Again, Loses a Quarter of Its Value during Thanksgiving Week

    SeaSonic's FOCUS PLUS PSUs May Have Issues with Certain GPUs

    Kudos to Seasonic's disclosure. Every systems have issues. SVT (system verification testing) guarantees it. Personally, I have some Focus Plus units that power my OC 1080ti and RX580 rigs. No problem at all when gaming or when running 24x7.

    GPU and Motherboard Makers Face Oversupply in 2019

    Yes. I have 2 separate OC'd FX rigs, each driving an OC'd 1080ti hybrid. Most games (I play) now have 4-8 threads, allowing the FX to deliver sufficient FPS in 4K. :)

    GPU and Motherboard Makers Face Oversupply in 2019

    Sky-high DDR4 pricing was what held me back from upgrading to Ryzen1/2. It has come down recently, but with Zen2 around the corner, I've decided to wait, especially since CPU improvement has been anemic over the last 10 yrs. Only 50-100% faster cumulatively across multiple generations...

    U.S Calls Broadcom's Bid For Qualcomm a National Security Risk

    Cisco and Juniper should sell their networking ASICs to 3rd parties. It's time for whitebox networking. Network OS and network apps will be the long-term value-add. Think a rack full of Dell servers vs. an Oracle DB license - the former is a rounding error.

    NVIDIA Ampere GPU Rumored for April Launch

    I agree with you. Blower style card blows. Tends to being whiny when OC'd to the extreme. That's the only reason I didn't opt for the Titan Xp in these bubbly gpu days.

    Bitcoin Plummets Below $7,500

    The BTC technicals are pretty bad at this point. 0.618 rally retracement level is breached (~$8900) decisively. This means the rally from $2K to $20K is considered over, i.e. it's not just a correction. All short and long term MA are breached. The oscillatory BB bottomed on the daily and...

    Bitcoin - What Goes Up Must Come Down

    Decisive break below the 0.618 rally retracement level (~$8900) means the massive rally momentum has been nullified. The CBOE and CME traders did a "great job". I'd expect crypto renewal in the future, but may be under different leadership imo, akin to how Yahoo search was the big thing in...

    Cheaper ammo, more ammo onboard, and less fire hazard if the ship comes under attack. Faster speed to target reduces the target's evasive potential. If the railgun has the range, it can hit targets beyond the horizon. No line of sight required.
