Ponchos, dude.

No but if you have a game with local wireless multiplayer, like MarioKart 8, the Lite can connect (via bluetooth?) without Nintendo Online. Nintendo is really bad about labeling which games support this.

dunno if anyone is still playing this, but here's a good price on the Gathering Storm expansion: https://slickdeals.net/f/13657412-sid-meier-s-civilization-vi-gathering-storm-11-99-ac-11-94?src=frontpage

This is the parent preview for Sesame Street in 1969: Ernie eventually explains that Sesame Street is designed after what kids like most about TV--commercials. Old Sesame Street still seems ok. I draw the line starting with Elmo. I can't stand how he baby talks, and the modern show is too...

My son is 2.5. Curious George stories are some of his current favorites. They have decent narration and illustration he can relate to. Eric Carle stuff (Brown Bear, Very Hungry Caterpillar) is probably a little better for a 1.5 year old. A good Beatrix Potter collection is something she...

Not at the consumer level. Lisa Su (AMD), Roanne Sones (Microsoft), and Natalya Tatarchuk (Unity) are all pretty awesome to listen to at tech conferences, though. I know...not eye candy, and not your average consumer level reviewer. But they know what they are talking about.

That's a pretty good run for a Nissan--think everyone I've known who owned one had fatal transmission problems by year 6 or 7.

GloFo is what AMD sold off between 2008 and 2012 in order to survive. Wiki says AMD has 12nm deal with them through 2021, but AMD's future with 7nm, along with whatever's next, seems to be with TSMC and maybe Samsung? Intel seems to do its 7 to 14nm stuff in house, between the US and Israel.

Build something around an AMD 3400G APU, imo. Toss in a sub-$100 Samsung 970, and they'll think they have a super computer. $4 windows 10 key from ebay...

The other possibility is no online account and use games with local wireless multiplayer. Not sure how many there are, but I've done it with two lites and two digital copies of Mariokart 8. It's pretty darn cool to be able to have someone in the front seat of the car playing against someone in...

not a pro, but i think where the pitched and flat roof meet needs flashing, not a line of OSI Quad or whatever that caulk is. something like this

hardest thing is making rgb work properly~

Stinks. Do you get to see any sort of official documentation of it? Annoyed to hear that pre-approval doesn't mean anything (though not surprised) =/

Did you get to keep any earnest money deposit out of it?

No doubt sodium is vital, and I wouldn't be surpised if salt has very little to no direct impact on my hypertension. I generally suspect my problems are genetic and/or cortisol based. So at best the docs I see are usually treating symptoms and not the real problem. But that's why I'm meeting...

No salt, nothing processed, try to avoid eating out. That's mainly for bp. The cholesterol drug I'm winds up being too effective, so I'm actually ok with fat and cholesterol. I try to make sure I get some extra potassium foods, too. For me, it's in my genes. Dad had hypertension since his teens...

It makes me really want to drink what's in the bottles.

Nuts. If it makes you feel any better, I'd kill for your blood pressure =)

Asked my doc for something to help with stress and related TMJ-type pain. She suggested OTC 250mg of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA). Just a couple days in, but I feel a little better. The eyes not focusing can be bp related.

The percentiles are kinda goofy. No doubt useful sometimes--noticing hydrocephalus or whatever, but half an inch bumps like 25 percentiles. We had one nurse constantly mis-measuring and/or misrecording. One visit she actually left notes for the doctor that our son's head circumference had...

lol it's no big deal. It's just that Lamarck is like second half of 18th century and Darwin is 19th century. I'm only up to 2.5 years old so far. My son's food choices seem to consider size. Big apple, big carrot, and tiny meatball taste much better to him than pieces or normal sizes. When...

This graphic is triggering me so bad.

That's some pretty extreme failure, more than the typical complaint. I would chalk it up to a dud (or maybe Gigabyte) too. Everyone knows you buy Sapphire or PowerColor for AMD GPUs! I'm not knocking your decision to go with Nvidia for reliable performance, btw (I did the same), but I would...

The R is skipped for a year, though, right?

old sku ewww

saw one of these on the road the other day...it's a bit chonky, and the front looks like it belongs on a Lincoln, but it also looked like it would never lose traction

Have fun! I dicked around with DRAM Calculator and manual timings for a few weeks before I tried the non-XMP presets on my MSI Ace--turns out I get the best no-error performance from those presets. I have read that Asus has very good RAM presets (special made by TheStilt at overclock.net), if...

I don't subscribe to brand loyalty, either, but there is some merit to 3dMark because the top scores are tweaked systems and competitive. IMO, 3DMark scores represent better uses of the hardware than the typical reviewer's.

Not sure what to tell you if you disregard across-the-board 3dMark results. You're the one mentioning the 3700X, but it's much the same result with the 3600X: https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/8048214/spy/7667438/spy/8809974/spy/6160287 MIGA?

Need to enable the 3600 XMP profile in the BIOS.

Yes. Is this just a theoretical or is something unannounced coming?

The new AMD 1.0.0.4 BIOSes are allowing BIOS-level per-ccx overclock for Ryzen 3000s..not sure how to tinker with it just yet, but it's pretty cool.

~$2,367 on the Origin site? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xDmgwh $1,766 Can I convince you to go with this and get a 2080ti for less than you're forking to Origin? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3Qhgwh $2,145

Some AIOs don't come with the right fans for particular setups. If they are pulling heat off the radiator instead of driving air through, they need to make high static pressure. Pretty sure that requires the fan to have a deeper scoop, and I'm not sure the deeper scoops can be as quiet.

Been using since release. Tried 3700X, 3800X, and currently running 3900X with RTX 2080. All are stable and perform well. Early instability was mainly due to unready BIOSes and disappointed overclockers (these processors simply don't run all-core at max boost). BIOS refinements are still...
