    I do think you eventually want to get the drivers for that and get it turned back on.

    By D&D spinoff I assume they mean spinning off all of WotC since it's their most profitable division. See this article from a year ago...

    The only reason I've ever been to Disneyworld + Land is because I won national competitions in high school that just happened to go to each one of them in subsequent years. Also the only time I've ever been more than 100 miles from my house. I liked Disneyland a lot because the rides were so...

    But that's an ASUS board right? You may need to the Intel VMD drivers during the Windows installer, or you may need to go into BIOS and disable VMD, or you may need to flash your BIOS before even attempting to install Windows.

    Is it showing up correctly in the BIOS? The dead SSD I had was showing up as a weird device name. Can you initialize the drive from within Windows? Which version of Windows are you installing on it? Windows 10 might not have the nvme drivers for your motherboard. Which motherboard? Too...

    Wouldn't shock me. Lots of communities do that.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    They generally release when games are done, or slightly before they're done actually (or way before they're done like NMS.) They need that revenue coming in the door immediately to move onto the next game. Developers are fucking expensive, and video game studios can fold easily, despite their...

    *Rich people's kid. This person is not particularly well-adjusted. He has an advanced degree in Non-profit Management so he can administer his parent's "foundation" that they've used to avoid paying taxes for the past few decades. His father was a tax avoidance consultant at a well-known...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I mean they're both big open world ARPGs with difficult combat and supposedly both have extensively story-driven narratives. Granted, one can have that difficulty turned down to nothing while the other can't. And Elden Ring has multiplayer. It's still hard to make the case that they're...

    Knowing Disney, it would be basically like living in a full-on corporate surveillance state. They will probably screen applicants heavily. Not saying there won't be pedophiles, because there are pedophiles literally everywhere, but it might be a tough place to get away with it.

    Well, not exactly, because you're on a Ritz-Carlton resort, so you're socializing with the rotating cast of guests on the property, rather than more fixed residents.

    Also, Ritz-Carlton is already doing this kind of thing, apparently. They're selling condo residences that are on Ritz-Carlton properties and have full access to all the amenities, so you basically live full-time on a resort. You can pay for hotel housekeeping, etc. Some rich kid/professional...

    Building communities of the future was actually one Walt Disney's original visions for the company.

    Yeah, my mom, back when she was still alive and a shopaholic, found 2x Lego Ultimate Collectors Edition Batmobiles at some unbelievably shitty discount/closeout style store, for 40 bucks each. Called me at work, made me come out to the parking lot and see them in her trunk, because she was so...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Well, Intel is definitely back. This CPU I bought for $365 gets a 22.6K Cinebench score, which is absolutely insane for that price. And while it definitely can consume a ton of power when running synthetic benchmarks, during all normal and even AAA gaming workloads, actually runs quite cool...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    The 5800X actually had the highest availability of the 4 launch chips in the series and always sold under MSRP. Also, you had to buy an AIO to cool your 11700KF, when you can cool a 5800X with a 40 dollar air cooler. You're being really dumb.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Much harder to keep cool, therefore much more likely to severely thermal throttle in sustained use, especially in a 0 airflow pre-built case like the one presented in the original link. Makes the other components in the case run hotter too, so they're more likely to thermal throttle. A 5800X...

    Tom's Hardware isn't a real hardware site anymore either, they got bought out by some Chinese clickbait farm a while ago, but even your linked article (which really isn't that bad for Tom's Hardware these days) demonstrates the problem: HOT GARBAGE.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Not from one of those clickbait "benchmark" sites, that's for sure. Intel 11th gen was hot garbage, literally. Similar performance to a 5800X but at over x2 the wattage, and costs more money.

    No, not really, not in a forum where people spend a lot of money buying digital licenses for media content like video games. The best way to stop being a "consoomer" is not to avoid buying physical goods, it's to control how much you spend on digital goods and subscription services. That's...

    Without all 4 NVME slots populated, (back down to 3) it no longer boot cycles/loops once on a normal cold start, only after an A/C power restore like when you cut the PSU power switch to work on it. I believe this is normal memory training for overclocked memory. Yes, without the XMP, it does...
