    Amazon is Allegedly Canceling Subscribe & Save Orders to Charge Customers More

    Timely article. My annual Prime subscription was going to renew on Feb 1, and I haven't been using it much, so I cancelled. I had to click through 4 separate "Are You Sure?", "Look at all of these amazing benefits you'll be losing!!!", "Why Not Switch To Monthly?", "But Wait, There's More!"...

    "Buster" Is a Browser Extension That Can Solve Captchas Automatically

    Yeah, I get all of that. I've been running some very large sites/forums for 20 years, and I'm consequently VERY familiar with the bot and spam problems. Captcha systems are only part of the solution, and must be used with things like StopForumSpam. I've had more success, and fewer...

    "Buster" Is a Browser Extension That Can Solve Captchas Automatically

    Only a matter of time until Google starts incorporating advertisements into the actual captchas. Google Captchas have gotten progressively more annoying and time consuming, and I no longer use them on my sites or recommend them. You'll start losing legitimate users and traffic if they have to...

    I'm walking distance from KU Med so we're basically neighbors. :) Crime is out of control here and only getting worse. My truck was broken into a couple months ago. :(

    [H]ardOCPer to the Rescue!

    I swear ABP keeps randomly resetting when I turn it off on certain sites. Not sure if it's because of ABP upgrades, Chromes upgrades, or Avira Prime or MWB dicking with settings. I actually like the ads on sites like [H] and ar15.com and regularly click through and buy stuff.

    Anyone order Threadripper 2 yet? User feedback is highly valuable.

    Damnit, Amazon is offering me 24 months with 0% financing on the 2990WX. They know 0% financing is my weakness. I could add a scope and mount for the AR-10 I just built, and maybe a Corsair 1000D case, to my cart, and my life would finally be complete.

    Anyone order Threadripper 2 yet? User feedback is highly valuable.

    You've almost talked me into it. I think I just need a cute girl to tell me she'll come over to my house and use the 2990WX for her webcam job. That would push me over the edge.

    ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme Threadripper Mobo Review @ [H]

    Hey Dan, you stated that you had problems with the wireless, and also that the 10G card didn't work and "requires replacement of the board". Can you expound on these two issues? Specifically, what was the fix for the wireless? Will I need to send the 10G card in for replacement? You stated...

    Vega Rumors

    I must have walked right past you. :). I'll see if I can find out anything about the game codes and will let you know if I do. Note that Microcenter already has $200 knocked off the regular price of that Samsung 34-in monitor.

    Vega Rumors

    The manager came out 30 minutes before open and told everybody they did not get a shipment, so everybody took my cue and left. I then drove around the block while the FedEx guy dropped off packages, returned, and walked in at 10 a.m. and got one of the four they received today. My profile...

    Vega Rumors

    Got mine this morning for $599 from Micro Center. Gigabyte GV-RXVEGA64-8GD-B (889523011201) Guys in line in front of my were bragging about mining, and said they were going to buy at least 20 Vega cards today, so they could flip them for 2-3x profit on ebay. Then they planned to come back and...

    Vega Rumors

    I'm not impressed. :/ I suppose I'll still go pick mine up in a few hours, play with it, wait for new drivers, and then decide. Can always sell it to the miners for a profit if I don't like it.

    Ex-Tesla Engineer Creates a Cure for Hangovers

    So he didn't actually "discover" anything? He just wants to be the US distributor for a hokey Korean hangover cure made from something like bat shit and donkey penis? I'm all for making a buck, but let's hope it's legit ... and also hope he uses his Rocket Surgery degree some day to make a...
