If you're investing in 32GB of RAM I'd just make the jump to DDR5. I would not buy 32GB of DDR4 at this point. That was actually what sealed the deal for me.

This is extremely good memory. It is pretty much the best binned Samsung B-Die you can get that runs CL14 @ 1.35v. Anything C14 with higher clock speeds than 3200 requires bumping up to 1.45v which really limits your compatibility.

Best bet is just camping Best Buy's website every other Thursday and hoping to get a Founders Edition

PCIe 4.0 NVME SSDs are getting pretty cheap and they go brrrrrrrrrrr.

The 12600K is always marked UP in price while the 12700K is always marked down in price. I was going to buy a 12600K and ended up getting the 12700K because the price different was just so trivial. I would much rather buy a 12700K and use a DDR4 board than the other way around. DDR5 is kinda...

I just don't see why they're so interested in waiting. What do they think Raptor Lake is going to be all that different? This was already the single largest generational improvement in an extremely long time. In the best case scenario where Raptor Lake is WTFAMAZING for some reason...

I never really understand these low-end CPUs. The expense is in buying the motherboard, once you've invested that money, you should at least buy something midrange for a CPU. 12700Ks are shockingly cheap right now and incredibly powerful. I'd buy a cheap DDR4 motherboard variant.

Substitute SaaS for UCaaS and this is my personal hell every day. We sell cloud-based phone/contact center/unified communications solutions as a service to some of the largest companies you can think of. They all start off as being very standardized. But under the hood, they can actually be...

Anyone want a free copy of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night? I have a spare key from a humble bundle months ago. Only message me if you'll actually play it.

Well, if you can get the DDR4 motherboard and CPU cheap enough, you can think of it as a way to get one last ride out of your top-end DDR4. DDR5 is relatively easy to grab suddenly within the past week, and the price isn't that bad if you want the cheap stuff...

We must go back further:

0 Let that fucker go to 0. The world doesn't need Facebook.

If you're willing to pay those kinds of prices you could just buy: (The embeds aren't showing the right price, they're 1399 and 1349 respectively.)

That's so fucking overpriced.

Yes, but tons of people "remember" the idyllic fictional version of the 1950s made up by Hollywood and the ad men and now burned into the collective conscious. Labor unions were extremely strong in the 1950s. They literally murdered people to get what they demanded. Government spent massively...

Change this to the "Gaming PC hardware" thread? IDK.

Reigning in the roadmap is a positive step towards finalizing the feature list for launch, which is probably now only 2 decades away.

Of course it lacks soul, it's a project thrown together by 1 person as a demonstration. Soul and polish are the little details that get added as the content gets fleshed out and finalized.

That one is fine. This one is probably slightly better: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119511 This one is nice for the price: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813162039 (Amazon's motherboard prices are all kinds of fucked up because most of them are coming from 3rd party sellers.)

Amazon wouldn't give me a price-match even though they had knocked 14 dollars off their price before even shipping my CPU. I can understand not doing a price match after you've shipped the item but if you lower the price before even shipping the item, the price match should be automatic. (It...

You might want to rewatch the show. White men in positions of power are generally not depicted well in the more serious episodes dealing with what we would consider today to be "woke politics." Many of the moral dilemmas are literally "white men are bad and they need to do better." Sometimes...

It could be Star Wars: Endor and be about Ewoks fucking each other in the ass in the woods and still be less gay than most of the Star Wars shit Disney has put out the past 6 years.

Right. It was largely about 2 white guys being educated about the "lived experiences" (literally in the case of Sam) of people who were marginalized throughout RECENT history. The show generally oscillated between more comedic episodes and more serious episodes, and almost all of the serious...

Have you guys ever watched Quantum Leap? It's mega woke. It's almost like it went back in time and was woke 30 years before woke was a thing.

"Low unemployment is bad, actually." https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-fed-inflation/u-s-on-the-road-to-1950s-style-unemployment-but-it-may-only-be-a-pit-stop-idUSKBN2KC11F

So you can get a 12700K for 364$ now. Based on my experience so far, I'd strongly suggest anyone that has anything less than a 9900K or a 3800X and has the spare money to buy one and get one of the cheaper DDR4 motherboards and go for it. This chip is absolutely insane for the price.

Yeah that's sure to help their market share.

Buy high sell low!

I never saw any reason to go past D&D 3.5. It seemed the easiest+most robust to develop content for. You could generally estimate what encounters would be an appropriate challenge and reward for the party. Then again, I also like extremely high-powered, high-stakes fantasy settings.

lol I was testing my new computer out and I had a flashback to when computers actually had spinning bits of metal in them. I distinctly remember when my computer would load up an incoming zerg of 200 hibs or albs and it would vibrate my whole desk...

And FOH isn't?

BLS has underreported jobs massively the past 3 months vs ADP. Now they overreport massively vs ADP. This is just different metrics evening out. And investors seem shocked at the performance of AWS. They don't seem to understand cloud. The cloud hype phase is over, which to investors who...

The HX arms are a lot stronger than the LX arms, and there's a special one for extra heavy ultrawides. https://www.ergotron.com/en-us/products/product-details/45-647#?color=white There's also this: https://www.ergotron.com/en-us/products/product-details/45-630

The retail business is what guarantees AWS will always have massive operating revenue to continue to grow and perpetually upgrade itself. Being your own best customer is kinda awesome when it comes to cloud.

The rebalancing/nerfing of cards is not the shitty part of Alchemy. The shitty part is all the insanely pushed cards they printed in one set. These two cards are both fucking retarded and the fact that they're in the same set makes it even dumber. And then there's this:

I randomly put this on when I was building my new PC last night and it was pretty fucking hilarious. I had no idea what it was, I was working front of my TV and clicked on Prime, clicked on whatever the first thing that came up, and then got weirded out by how instantly recognizable all the...

Arena is still fun, just most of the constructed formats are stale after 2 weeks. The last Arena cube was super good and the Decathalon event that preceded it was great.

It's a Brazilian tranny isn't it?
