wow they didnt even make a new nuke...thats the same as before.

I would absolutely have done just that, cashed in options to then be siting on 7 or 8 figure bank account in cash. Pump that into something that gives dividends, never worry about work again.

So in line with the guys wondering if the was they are only ones who don't give a dam about power consumption. Am I the only one who doesn't give a damn about 1080P gaming in 2023?

I have a 2080 Super and frankly with what I play I don't have any need to buy anything right now since I can play everything I like at 1440p. If you are in that same boat, pickup a used 20 series or 30 series - or if it does the job just do the 1070. 50 series is already getting news bites...

Several cards really left me feeling good about PC gaming but...Nothing has ever beaten the feeling of going from Software Rendering to GLQuake on the original 3Dfx Voodoo card. Later on, I had an 8800GTS that was great for a bit and then I loved my ATI 5870. That thing was fantastic...

Question for you all out there. I have never been an "audiophile" by any stretch, but I do appreciate good sound. The main thing is my hearing is mediocre. I have had a Bose Companion 5 on my computer for what seems like 10 years now. I have run my headphones out of them for a long time but I...

Will not happen. Steam will be the king for the foreseeable future. Until Gabe leaves its not even going to be challenged. EA thought they could do it. MS thought about it for a half second. I have all the free games on Epic and just one purchased game...RDR2 because that was where it was at...

Apple doesn't stop anyone from making (for example) an instant messenger app for iPhone and selling it in the App Store. Apple doesn't stop Skype, Teams or even Google Voice from working on an iPhone and being in the App Store. They aren't preventing competition. I just looked and Google...

You buy an apple device you get apple software - kinda makes sense. That is why Grandma can actually do a video call with the grandkids. You can choose to do otherwise jailbreak for example but it then doesn't play with apple stuff on everyone elses phone. You are effectively saying that you...

We will just have to disagree. There are thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of apps in the app store. Curating what is sold in their app store is not monopolistic. IMO.

The App Store is not required. I use a work iPhone. I have zero apps from the App Store. That said, I am not a normal use case, in fact likely very small. Saying that I am charging you a cut to sell your software in my store is not monopolistic. You don't have a "right" to sell in my...

There is nothing stopping anyone from going Android or Jailbreaking an iDevice. Just because Apple makes it a PITA doesn't mean it is illegal and a monopoly. A walled-garden is just that...you play in their sand-box by their rules. Apple app store isn't the only sand box around. I make no...

Not a good comparison. You aren't buying a replacement radio for Tesla for example. Apple has every right IMO to restrict the software they allow onto their walled-garden. You can always jail-break the iPhone if you want...and isn't that what Apple is saying..."We provide a curated service...

If you want to order Gig it says equipment will be provided - however for 100/400MBit service you can use your own.
