    Windows 11 Pro - $29.97

    People still buy Windows? I'm sorry, paying $1 is too much (especially for a non-genuine retail copy). You are paying for literal spyware (Yes, I use windows).

    Sweet Baby Inc Steam Tracker

    All these "consultants" are responsible for are to ensure that a game is not too white or too straight. In other words a cancer to gaming and every aspect of society they touch. This is EXACTLY a reason to not patron a game with this company involved.

    Possible Scam?

    Just going to say it, if you have to post "is this a scam"? It usually is.

    7900xtx or 4080 super?

    Agreed, I had a lot of issues with AMD drivers in the not so distant past. They did end up fixing most of them but it took about 9 months.

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    For the games that I play and at the resolution I have them set for, the 3080 is better or equal to. Pretty pathetic.

    Intel APO testing, 12th & 13th gen get the shaft

    https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-to-roll-out-14th-gens-game-optimization-software-to-older-1213th-gen-hybrid-cpus-after-all/ Looks like they may have changed their mind after all. Would be awesome to see this come to the 12 series.

    Well, if you read the thread we were talking about using youtube for "free" by blocking ads.

    Simply, it's not theft when both parties are getting something in exchange from each other.

    Steam 2023 Winter sale is here! Winter sale runs from Dec 21 to Jan 4, 2024, 10 AM PST

    To be honest, I probably wouldn't play it if I got it for free.

    T-Mobile offering 1 year free AAA membership

    Sometimes your time is more valuable than a local tow. Thankfully, we haven't had to use the AAA service yet but nothing worse than being stuck somewhere and waiting hours for someone to come help.

    AI is woke

    Wokeness is a virus and destroys everything that is good in our society. Not a surprise it has infected AI. The many examples of AI being ok with the elimination of white people but protecting the feeling of others shows how deep the infection goes.

    Recent AM5 upgrade, bad luck, user upgrade or Internet went easy on it ?

    I would definitely try this out. I have had my share of odd issues with Windows 11.

    Recent AM5 upgrade, bad luck, user upgrade or Internet went easy on it ?

    I have had read MANY reviews about AM5 and stability issues. I want to upgrade but the platform doesn't seem super polished at this point. Probably going to take some BIOS revisions to fix some of the issues you are having. AMD drivers, generally, imho, are pretty horrible.

    Z790 14600k - Won't post with more than 1 stick or RAM

    Exactly, the bent pin should be pretty obvious, especially for someone that has a lot of experience putting machines together. If I saw that I would have immediately contacted newegg (would not have tried to install the CPU) and let them know. I wish you good luck with the process.

    If it's just one and it's bent you might be able to carefully bend it back into place.

    Intel APO testing, 12th & 13th gen get the shaft

    Seems to me that these are some potentially game changing tweaks that should be made at the BIOS level sans windows software. Intel limiting this to the 14th gen is shady at best when in reality the 12/13th gen ecores need serious optimization.

    What would disallow a BIOS from being flashed?

    I know that certain motherboards require the Intel Management Engine firmware to be updated prior to the bios being updated. Have you looked into that?

    Why do Mice manufacturer's have such shit software?

    Agreed GHUB is terrible. I was getting random VAC errors in DOD:S and the only way to get the game to load was to disable GHUB. I only needed it to change some simple config with the mouse buttons but I hate it.

    Beat youtube ad block blocking with FreeTube

    Actually, I do, since its MY data. In exchange for my data and analytics, I am using their services - it is a fair trade to me and they haven't stopped me from watching yet. I will NEVER watch ads.

    Beat youtube ad block blocking with FreeTube

    I have no issue paying for services I use but within reason. I am seeing its $14/month, thats $168/year which is a bit too much for what you are getting as a service. If they lowered that price I would be willing to pay, until then I will find ways to block the ridiculous amount of ads they are...

    14900KS coming with new boards same 1700 socket TechYES video

    Yeah, there are probably a subset of folks that it will be a decent upgrade for. From my perspective, it's more heat with very little performance increase.
