    Pictures Of Your Dually Rigs!

    😎 X1950 XTX was the flagship though, not the X1800.

    Pictures Of Your Dually Rigs!

    I really should run some good benchmarks on it. But in an all-core workload I feel like it would hang with a 975. My ATi GPU collection has gotten pretty epic; the flagship of basically every gen. Rage Fury Maxx Radeon DDR 64MB Radeon 8500 128MB Radeon 9700 Pro Radeon 9800 XT X850 XT Platinum...

    Pictures Of Your Dually Rigs!

    In the spring of '20, while I was on furlough during the COVID lock down, I decided to put together a '2000s Dream System'. I'd been wanting to do a dual socket AMD build for a while, originally around Athlon MPs, but couldn't find a motherboard that didn't have issues. I still wanted the...

    AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT $550 @ Micro Center

    Screaming deal, IMO. These respond well to undervolting too.

    The Mac turns 40

    Aye. The 68040 was pretty amazing. You don't realize how amazing until you see a Quadra 950 doing web browsing in a basic (custom) browser, which basically nothing else of the period could even hope to do. I grew up a Mac head, 68k and PowerPC era machines, but I felt like a lot of the magic...

    The Mac turns 40

    No, but at least it's more valuable than basically any other 68K Mac. I've always wanted one. Viva NuBus!

    Copying a DVD (literally) and removing region coding in the process

    Let's just assume I went that route and everything that came up is regarding trying to create a digital file. But thanks I guess.

    Copying a DVD (literally) and removing region coding in the process

    Edit: Making an ISO backup from MakeMKV does seem to accomplish this, though the FAQ doesn't clearly state it. Closing thread... I'm in an interesting spot here; I still buy DVDs, including a fair number of rare titles from overseas. I also have an Oppo Blu-ray player that is generally...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    I probably have to say my Radeon 8500 LE. It was probably the inception of me paying attention to GPUs. I also remember it being a sneaky good deal during its heyday.

    Details on Apple ARM agreement

    Going back to ARM's inception in the 80s, *nobody* has had more to do with the success of the instruction set than Apple. SoftBank should go shake a different tree.

    Black Friday - Hulu/Max/Disney+/Paramount/Peacock Streaming Deals

    It's funny how ad supported TV on paid streaming services is suddenly poison to people... especially considering that the commercial breaks on streaming are shorter than the commercial breaks on cable/satellite, which we all spent decades paying (more) for - and they still exist unchanged.

    Well, I use uBlock... and it does not remove ads from within YouTube streams. Unless I'm doing something wrong?

    Doesn't YT insert ads into the video streams anyways? Never heard of a way around that.

    Apple 'Scary Fast' Mac event October 30th

    You've gotta hand it to Apple... There is nothing that can hold a candle to the black MBP with an M3 Max. Insane amount of power and display quality for something so thin and light. And I think this marks their first black laptop since the PowerBook G3. Almost a quarter century ago...

    Nvidia begins developing Arm-based PC chips in challenge to Intel

    But they'll definitely keep rebranding the node. 😅

    Nvidia begins developing Arm-based PC chips in challenge to Intel

    This is interesting solely for the fact that Nvidia has the resources to actually make a splash if they fully commit. But after seeing one ARM-ambition after another fizzle out, I'm not actually expecting much meaningful result here either.
