    Lost in Space

    Actually made it to episode 3 before Netflix locked my account for "appearing to have used a free trial in the past". Guess the jig is up on making new emails. No way I am paying $16 to watch the other episodes and I sure as fuck am not paying $9 to watch it in SD. I'll wait until Netflix...

    Still waiting on ram suggestions. As for windows 10 key, any reason to get Home when pro keys are like $2 more? PC will be mostly browsing/gaming. I know Pro has a bit better security and control but is there any case where Home is actually better?

    Hopefully that knocks currents/last years down some more. I bought a $120 HP curved months back that was 10x better than the ones I had. I was even able to enable freesync which triggered G-sync showing up on my NV control panel and enabled it to have adaptive sync which took what very little...

    Also I went 3800x because not only binning and the small extra cost but because the 3700x is outer worlds OR borderlands 3 while the 3800x is both. Free games I didn't own.

    Black Sails

    Vudu and Amazon have it for $1 Season 1, $2 for Season 2 and $5 for season 3 and 4. At $13 to own forever in HD, even pirates would pay for it at that price.

    The Expanse

    Hands down the best season for me. A bit more Stargatish which made it more action and easier to follow. Considering I binge background watch most tv stuff, it was perfecto

    I think that is what I'll do. The last time I have a AMD it was that blow torch 1.4ghz Thunderbird and back then you wanted to cure the cpu by using it awhile and letting it get hot but not too hot before pushing it. I'm sure that isn't a thing anymore but even stock speed will be a 38% gain...

    The only reason to buy a 3800x over 3700x is for the better stock cooler and unlocked TDP. In other words, 3800x in theory should be a much better OC'r if the MB holds up to power it. I'll have to look up the prism and stealth or whatever the 3700x comes with to see noise, In theory with a much...

    Ya I am torn on the cooler. Technically the 3800x is really a 3700x bumped 100mhz and with a better stock cooler. I don't plan to OC much so I may just stay with the stock one since it isn't bad. The thermals claim 65 watts on the 3700x and 105 on the 3800x but in reality at stock speeds the...

    What motherboard did you go with? Also on top of my edit a minute ago about Amazon having the 2700x for $160 with game/cooler, Walmart now has the Ryzen 5 2600x with cooler for $120 for you budget hunters. People thought I was nuts when I bought the 2060 super instead of the 2070/2080 but I...

    That is where I am leaning. For personal builders, Ryzen went from like 20%a year ago to 80% now. That is a massive flip for Intel and from what I saw they will keep that margin another year. I'm building for a 5+ year PC so I want to pack in as many features and tech as I can now but without...

    I've been bouncing back and forth between a Ryzen cpu and a i5-9600k build for 2 weeks now. I've already ordered the case, psu, nvme 970+ drive and have had the 2060 super awhile now.

    When I had my PEs it was actually the 3rd time in 2 months. I just had no idea it was PEs the morning I woke up fine and rolled over and started to feel faint I stuck a pulse oximeter on my finger and it read 82. Took me a hour to sit up and get clothing on. I still had no idea why or what was...

    51 isn't young by any means. Maybe I am just skewed from having so many around me dying in early/mid 40s and being terminalish myself at 47. I've been studying this some and it appears men go through a major chemical change in their 40s. It's usually when they get their first heart...

    Disney be like Vue shutting down because it was too expensive, better raise prices on Hulu live!

    Exactly this. Disney now owns Hulu so that is exactly the plan they have. Deadpool and Fox stuff is the example used in the short term.

    I missed out on the bundle even though I think I am the one who brought it up lol. Just didn't have the money at the time and wasn't sure on content. Considering the Apple+ had like a dozen shows and only 1 was semi slightly interesting Disney+ is a whopper of content even without kids. Lots of...

    You can on the Fire. Don't know on Roku. Fire has browser and you can bust it out of Amazon App into google play apps pretty easy. Not that I would but more because I have ATT Fiber and the installer straight up said they'll yank that unlimited 1000/1000 from you in a heartbeat if you get...

    Wasn't until after I finished Episode 1 until I could place a finger on what seemed so off about it. It wasn't bad but it felt less like Star Wars and more like a episode of Stargate in pace and dialogue.

    Oh I know, I was/am just shocked. That is one reason I never went for one way back. Seems a poor choice of business. I'm sure it allows them all sorts of neat info though. I do like how Amazon did theirs. When I hit the power button on my TV remote, it is all there loaded, with my favorites...

    Well I did say I think, but I was certain Chromecasts could be plugged directly into HDMI and connected via wifi to direct app stuff like all the others now. Are they still in the dark age of streaming sticks and never upgraded that?

    I think Chromecast works like Roku stick and Amazon Fire TV stick. You stick the stick into HDMI port on TV, switch inputs to it and load apps onto it. My 4k stick has about 20 apps on it. Sling TV, Prime, Disney+, Philo, The CW, some weather apps, Netflix, Hulu and a few more. I don't usually...

    I made my account a few days ago so not sure current signup site. They may be crossing over because if you pre ordered the service you got founders perks. As for login, once I downloaded the app, and opened it, it had a signin button. Entered email and password I registered with days ago and wala.

    I am 19 minutes into Mandalorian now on the Fire Stick. Once I was able to sign in I was good to go. Depending on what service you are using and how they are handling permissions, I guess it will vary. Can confirm Fire TV is working. Didn't bother trying LG app since it is on same TV...
