    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    The main problem with boom times is that the talent gets stretched super thin across all the major players and startups. This is likely true of all industries but is even more true among something like streaming and content production where a bunch of factors all have to come together. There...

    I assume that Margo would make the point that if she didn't tell the Russians about the defects in their designs, dozens of cosmonauts and engineers would have died, and maybe point out that they've been telling the US things that prevented our astronauts from dying. It does feel like we...

    4070 should be faster than the 3090 at 300-320 watts. But then the power consumption jumps dramatically for the 4080 and 4090. But who the fuck knows.

    Well this season was mostly about how the people out on Mars are all cooperating for their mutual survival, despite being originally sent as competitors, while the people back on earth are all still playing politics. But yeah this season definitely hasn't been as good as the first two.

    I'm just saying, if the stock recovered to even 5 dollars you could make lifechanging amounts of money. They wouldn't have brought in a ringer of a CEO if they were expecting to just close the doors. If we could convince reddit or one of the WSB discords that this was a good idea, it could be...

    At the current price, Avaya's current market cap is less than the book value of its larger business partners. One of its business partners could likely take out a loan and acquire the whole company (if they could find a way to deal with the 3billion in debt...)

    lol don't even have to go back that far. It's fallen 97% in the past 5.5 months. If it rebounded even a little of that it would be a massive gain.

    Handling the transient spikes has way more to do with the quality of the PSU than the capacity. A good 850W PSU is going to handle transient spikes better than a generic 1000W PSU.

    Yo who thinks we can turn this into a meme stock and make a shitload of fucking money? They even have their own cringey rap meme which they tried to scrub from the internet but some business partners apparently still have it hosted:

    1200 is nuts. Even if the power draw on these GPUs is 450w then 1000w is fine, considering 750w runs a 320w TDP card just fine... Unless you're doing something absurd, a good 1000W should be all you need. Exception would be a 450W TDP card, plus a 250W+ CPU, and overclocking both.

    The screwdriver does look pretty good in comparison to the Chinese shit most people are used to from Amazon or the Home Depot store brands. If you want something nice, Snap-On has a similar screwdriver for nearly 200 dollars, so it's not like the Linus screwdriver is totally out of line.

    No shit. As long as people are employed, and actively contributing to their 401k, and they're making more money, and even if inflation remains persistently elevated at 4-6% for a few years, that money is still going to go into equities and the prices of those equities are still, over the long...

    Based on currently available data, a lot of people in this thread would get better long-term returns asking for a raise and blindly putting that extra money into index funds than they would worrying about the market day-to-day or even worrying about what the Fed is doing meeting-to-meeting. :)

    I also had a S2716DG and had flicker issues due to weird ESD things, including that very strange chair cylinder issue I posted in the other thread. Just touching my office chair would cause the screen to flicker in the winter. Also, technically, every game supports HDR on Windows 11. That...

    This is a good thing, not a bad thing. They have this huge back-catalogue of cool talents from all the discarded borrowed power systems, many of which were extremely fun mechanically, might as well use them to build all new talent trees.

    Gonna put a 1-2k each into 5 oversold stocks. Paypal is one. Netflix is another. Any suggestions on the other 3? It's gotta be a household name that's down at least 60% off its high, and it can't be Meta because fuck Zuck and it can't be Nvidia because I already have too much in Nvidia.
