Replaced my 970 with a 2070 about 6 months ago. Probably gonna wait for a 4070.

Looks like AMD is rolling PCIe 4.0 support back from older Ryzen chipsets. https://www.anandtech.com/show/14477/amd-confirms-pcie-4-not-coming-to-older-motherboards

Can confirm my Gigabyte B450 Aorus M with BIOS F40 has PCIe 4.0 enabled on the first slot. Performance is unaffected, as expected.

Nevermind, I fixed it. Turns out the version of PHP I had was thread-safe, and I was trying to use the non-thread-safe PECL OCI8 library. So I replaced it with the thread-safe version, and it connects properly. It would have been awesome if there had been some error reporting from PHP/Apache on...

35. I don't like console games, as you might guess, given my job here. I don't agree that Zelda is a fantastic game. It's a mindless romp full of endlessly repeated gaming moments.

I like the game. If this is anybody's idea of an expansion pack, I would suggest that that person has an overinflated sense of gaming entitlement.

I remember that song.

I had hoped for more as well.

Hitman 1: Using the garrotte wire to choke out an opponent was priceless.
