    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    7000+ for top of the line NVME PCIE 4.0 drives, like the Samsung 980 Pro, the XPG Gammix S70, and the WD SN850.

    Yeah well when you sell commonly prescribed drugs that are $4100 a dose you can do that lol. Just prior to COVID I could have been senior telecom engineer for ABBV, but I would have been responsible for integrating 75 different phone systems and have to move to northern IL, for not nearly...

    My cinebench score more than doubled and I haven't even fucked with this thing yet. XMP isn't even turned on (because of that whole BIOS fuckery earlier.) Granted the 9700K was kind of a stupid piece of shit.

    Windows 11

    No 8.1 still had the full-screen or near-full-screen tile menu bullshit loooool. But it ran incredibly well and booted absurdly fast.

    Windows 11

    I never really got the Windows 8 hate. Windows 8.1 was probably the best performing modern OS.

    That's wrong, you don't have to. The scheduler is already fixed in Win 10.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    New RAM/MOBO/CPU wouldn't POST, kept giving a 54 LED code and trying to reinitialize. Flashing to the latest bios using the built-in Flash fixed it... good thing I bought a motherboard with post code LEDs and built in flash... (but maybe a cheaper motherboard would have just POSTed in the first...

    I just picked up my stepdad's Humira. 2000 dollars for the first dose of the year. After insurance. ABBV gonna be fine I think.

    Windows 11

    Is there anyone that's even remotely happy with Windows 11? I'm building an effectively new computer and wondering whether to put Windows 10 latest build or Windows 11 on it.

    Is that a sympathetic shock or is Twitter just fucking garbage? It's literally a hobby forum that got too large for its own good, and is about as profitable.

    XCOM 2

    One thing I'd wish is that Avatars would just randomly spawn every once in a while after your first encounter with them. Maybe give them interesting loot. I should make a fucking mod.

    Yeah I literally just play Standard Brawl to do my quests and then play limited. Alchemy is kind of a trash fire if you ask me.

    Okay, that makes sense. I've been smacking down the Avatar counter mostly with the covert actions and have only blown up 2 or 3 facilities.

    Oh. They can only spawn at facilities? Where the fuck does it say that.

    Couldn't do it. That curve was too much. It's sad too, I would have loved this monitor if it was available in flat or at least less-curved.

    XCOM 2

    Damn, Sharpshooters go from useless to godmode when you get the Hunter's weapons. Also, that fight was a fucking joke since it lets you get the high-ground before you start the encounter.

    Well no shit it didn't get hot, there's no way it was transferring at more than 600 MB/s installed in such a way. These new NVME SSDs can transfer at 7400 MB/s, and the next gen ones will probably come close to doubling that.

    It also protects the NVME from the heat of being sandwiched between the GPU and CPU. It's a little overengineered but this is PCIE 5.0 capable, needs to be future-proof.

    Motherboard default raises the voltage offset of the chip so it can run all-core turbo/overclocks more stable. But when actually running stock, that voltage is too high.

    How man emails do you deal with professionally?

    Slack is better for straight messaging/chat. Teams' strength is how well integrated it is with the rest of O365. Outlook calendar directly in Teams. Simultaneous multi-user editing of SharePoint docs from directly in the Teams interface, etc.
