I have upgraded to a 3080 Ti as my eVGA Queue Watch ended.
Only gamed, never mined on. Original and only owner 06/2017-present. Repasted once, 2020. Attempted to "auto"-OC. Crashed during "auto-tuning" process. Did not attempt further overclocking. Ran at stock +...
"Alt-left" doesn't exist. Just an extension of the same morally bankrupt "both-sides-ism."
False equivalence between a few antifa who go too far and a whole cottage industry of neo-Confederate/neo-Nazi thugs who've been peddling their ideology for hundreds of years is willful blindness at...
I have no idea what this game is about, but I need something new and this seems to be winning accolades. Purchased.
(Of course, it may end up on the pile of "Steam games I bought and haven't played," but 'tis the hazard of Steam...)
And this is why when I hear the argument that the lack of women in [insert field] is just a result of benign choices, especially if the argument fails to question what might influence those choices, I call bullshit.
Why would anyone want to enter a culture where their gender made them suspect...
Break the monopolies. Local loop unbundling and/or public fiber leased to whoever wants to create an ISP are the only ways out of this mess short of nationalizing the existing infrastructure.
The advertisers poisoned the well a long time ago.
We will never trust them again, between ads that wait to pounce on you until you're halfway down the page to popunders/tabjacking, sudden audio/video, malware, tracking...
Their greed may break the internet because users are turning into Roman...
How this shakes out highly depends on third parties, especially with that high TDP/power draw.
If Asus, Gigabyte, etc. can slap a better cooler on that lets air Vega run like stock liquid Vega at a reasonable price, this could get interesting. I'm not sure how feasible that is (though my...
You know you're making competitors sweat when they go out of their way to attack you. The worst fate is to be ignored--because it means your competition literally doesn't care what you do because you matter so little to them. Supposedly, Intel's whole CPU business plan assumed "AMD will always...
Retreading A New Hope for Episode VII was okay--it showed "We know how to make a Star Wars movie; we're not going to turn this into <insert other franchise>."
If they retread Empire though... Even if it's a legitimately good movie they're going to light all the goodwill they have on fire...
Development interviews said they literally playtested the remaster with pros from South Korea. Not only did everything have to pass the "looks test" ("Can I tell by glancing that's a Battlecruiser/Carrier/Hydralisk/etc?") but also the "feel test." Which meant leaving in things like odd pathing...
If they don't want people using their unmetered (which is IMO a better word than unlimited--they don't bill you by the megabyte but they can and will slow you down) connections in third-party areas, stop selling them out in the sticks.
Of course, that would undercut the notion that Big Red "has...
Another dirty secret is: That's not the real reason nuclear fuel reprocessing was banned.
The initial ban was due to proliferation concerns and the policy remains to this day on that basis. While it's true that environmental groups oppose nuclear power, they weren't the ones who came up with...
Slate isn't much better, but the broader point stands. This "story" is garbage and pure FUD. You'd never see an ISP shilling piece hit the front page about how Net Neutrality is "unfair" and "harms poor people" (sadly actual arguments they've used). So why this blatant propaganda from a...
The best part is that it can seamlessly play with/against people who are running the original game. Despite all the additions to the remaster, they can still talk to each other so it won't fragment the playerbase. Supposedly most custom maps will also work.
Just tried a large file off my RAID array.
"100%" of one core is about 6.25% (16-thread, 8-core Ryzen).
It hit about 6% while loading, so it seems it's CPU-bound, unless it's IOPS bound. Further testing required.
EDIT: 750MB file.
39s load time RAID.
38s load time SSD.
Seems it is...
I have some moderate-sized CAD files (150-500MB).
They're annoyingly slow on my RAID6 array (13x 4TB) when it comes to opening and saving them (the I/O grinds the entire CAD program to a halt until it finishes).
My motherboard supports M.2 PCI-E 4x, so a drive like this would work. That it's...
This is me!
I have a cable box, still shrink-wrapped in the closet, because it's cheaper to have that plus internet than just internet...
Fuck Comcast!
Will the incumbents adapt? Doubtful.
They'll hit us with data caps which of course exempt their content but not Netflix (or other streaming competition), whine about "fairness" and insist Netflix somehow helps pirates. Then, they'll use their bought-and-paid-for lawmakers and lobbyists to...
Windows Vista: The Game
(Development started, restarted, drama, etc.)
I enjoyed ME:A. But seeing this crap explains most of my gripes with it--one does not simply rush an AAA title in 18 months and expect pristine results.
Reminds me of the European publishers who got angry at Google.
They lost views too.
The capitalist cheerleader WSJ can't see the irony in its inability to adapt to a changing market.
