    Sets have plenty of room for commander cards and always have. All the slots for big dumb rares are now filled with big dumb commander rares. Again, something WotC has accomplished fairly well. Yes, a lot of Commander sets get sold, but those are precons to bring in new or more casual kitchen...

    This is actually the thing that I feel WotC has done the best job of, removing vanilla chaff from draft and making the uncommon slots into strong archetype enablers with supporting commons. Not every card is going to be constructed playable but >90% of the cards in a set 'do something' in...

    My 1988 Kenmore refrigerator survived two major floods after being put in the basement, and many smaller floods, while I went through maybe 3-4 upstairs in the kitchen.

    Between this and the last post you made in this thread, you must be a fucking bot or something. You come here spreading the dumbest crypto scams, there's no way you're a real person. Strong suggest a thread ban.

    A few ways to do this, but they're both kinda cumbersome and bad. The fact that MS doesn't just send out a 30 day notification to the Azure admins is ridiculous, this has come up for a few customers of mine as well. Using Powershell: Azure AD app registration secrets: a quick script to check...

    The show is structured as basically 4 back-to-back movies. That's a lot to binge. People should pace themselves better. The show is much better if you watch 3 episodes, take a week or more of a break, then go back and watch some more.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Not talking about scalper prices. The 3080 Ti FE was available for $1199 and only at Best Buy and was generally considered a good price, especially considering how powerful it was compared to a 2080 Ti. The real issue is how long it took for the 30-series cards to actually get to most peoples'...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    I don't really see why people think the 4080 FE is that expensive. Just 3-4 months ago, people were paying this price for a 3080 ti FE, and they were happy about it, and this is a massively better card in every way (other than being hysterically large.)

    Battlefield 2042

    No I like it because it's more popular on next-gen consoles than PCs and I can beat people by having superior controls and 200 fps. Being on Game Pass will only make it better!

    Musk wants to cut costs dramatically, and he needs to keep costs very low for 2+ years to even start getting into the black again. I don't think they will be hiring in-office moderators. Costs-per-employee are high at tech companies anywhere in the US. Being a content moderator is also a...

    That's not how any of this works. Content moderators for Meta and Twitter are outsourced contractors. Musk wants to remove moderators entirely and just go algorithmic. "Policy decisions" aka permanent suspensions are made arbitrarily at the very top, prior and currently.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    I gotta say this 4080 FE is fucking ridiculous. 50% more performance than my 3080 FE, uses around 100 less watts on average, makes absolutely no noise due to basically having a passive cooler. Overpriced, sure, but I just sold my 3080 for $480 in cash local.

    They never had Jobs and Wozniak in the Star Wars universe so their original computer interfaces just stayed shit forever, just good enough to operate spaceships. All their technology went to other things instead of improving UX. :)
