Which smart TV can't handle DLNA streaming directly from the NAS? Not arguing with you, just want to put them on the list to avoid should I ever be looking to upgrade. I've had 2 Samsung TVs in the past that worked well with this with their built in software alone, and my current Sony 65" from...

You got most of this correct. First, a minor nit pick - CRI actually stands for Color Rendering Index. And to clarify for everyone else, this is referring to the quality of white light. Second, While your premise is generally correct, CRI is actually a horrible metric to use for color...

I've had the Ally for about 3 weeks now, and I'm pretty happy with it. Yeah, the battery life isn't that great, but hasn't been a wall that i've run into yet. Pretty much every plane has power in the seat, and when I'm home my attention span for gaming usually tops out at about an hour anyway...

Looks like Best buy is price matching. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-black-sn850x-4tb-internal-ssd-pcie-gen-4-x4-nvme/6512129.p?skuId=6512129

Oh I did too, even bought the remastered version when it came out last year. I was only responding in the context of the dumbing down for consoles statement. My only disappointment with Crysis 2 & 3 was how less open world they were, but it was understandable given the location in which the...

Crysis 3 was much better in terms of not feeling like a console port than Crysis 2 was. It was just too way short, whole game was maybe 6-7 hours.

Good price. It's gotten as low as $299 in the past from Amazon. If you don't need a drive right now, can't hurt to wait and see if it will go that low again. Amazon likes to use dynamic pricing, so YMMV.

Last best price I think was $365. https://www.amazon.com/WD_BLACK-SN850X-Internal-Gaming-Solid/dp/B0B7CQ2CHH?th=1&psc=1 Edit: Was $299, price is $377 now. Good ol' dynamic pricing.

Thanks! I bit, finally! Between the price after rebate and the free games (2 of which i actually was going to buy come fall/winter anyway), this is a smoking deal. While I'm in this camp, I'm happy with getting the RX 6900XT level of performance for around $700. Even if the rumor of the...

I've been trying to figure out this very thing now that prices are inching down. Been wanting a 3080 for a while (though if the 6800XT gets to MSRP first I'd get that instead). Considering the founders edition MSRP for the 10GB was $700, I'm struggling with figuring out how much 2GB of memory...

I noticed that too. I have a 2080 super. I don't need a 6900 XT, but I certainly wouldn't mind an upgrade. It's a little difficult to justify spending the $1k+ with RDNA 3 practically around the corner. Edit: I was origionally hoping for a 6800 XT, that would be a worthy upgrade @ $650...

Fantastic! I was a huge fan of the Crysis games, and have probably played through the first one 20 to 30 times, and at least a dozen times for Crysis 2 and 3. Can't wait.

I'm equally impressed on the return of magsafe power connectors, HDMI ports, and SD card reader. Useable I/O without needing a dongle, what a concept.

Thanks! I think i'll be picking up some nice brushless milwaukee cordless tools. Been wanting to make the jump for a while, guess it's time.
