    Everyone that makes more than 600 dollars a year gets a 1099 form from Twitch and their income reported to the government. They would pay taxes at insane rates, having to pay the full social security and medicare tax.

    Those numbers are not per year. EDIT: Unless you mean pokimane and amouranth, then yeah, 600k-700k a year.

    They're denying they make that much per year. Those numbers are gross earnings over about 26 months. And yeah, a bunch of them make a lot more. Sponsorships, donations, tips, Patreon/OF, etc. Shroud got paid a shitload by EA to play Apex when it first came out, which is funny since he...

    Battlefield 2042

    Hmm, ran great for me, 95-110 FPS at all times. (I have a 116 FPS limit set.) 9700k + 3080 RTX. There were a few bugs where people and/or parts of dead vehicles were hanging in the air, but in general, combat was responsive-enough. ADS zoom on the basic red dot scope doesn't zoom in anywhere...

    That's not monthly earnings. That's earnings over 2 years.

    With crypto it's different though. It's entirely based on hype and FUD. Buy after a bad news cycle. Sell once you've made your target profits, or HODL.

    Crypto moving in the opposite direction from stocks is a good sign for crypto in general. Last month it was not behaving that way. "Technical analysis" only really matters because it is just informing you how the other people who believe in "technical analysis" and all the automated algorithms...

    House of the Dragon

    This just looks bad. It's like they forgot what made the original story interesting, aka watching the various kids grow up, try to avoid their parents mistakes, or fail and repeat them. This is just a bunch of people pretending to be serious and stomping down hallways.

    Got one question though, why is ADS zoom so low and how do I fix it?

    Battlefield 2042

    Seems okay to me so far. Map flow is not great. It feels like it's missing something that would give it some character though. No soundtrack?

    Yeah, I was playing Dirt 5 on the new RTX 3050 laptop that's temporarily hooked up to my TV, that's what got me thinking about racing games. I was pissed when I realized Forza was only for Xbox and PC (just another reason to build my TV-PC.) Gonna try the Hot wheels game, saw some good reviews...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I migrate very large, globe-spanning call centers to the cloud. These aren't turnkey solutions like Ringcentral or InContact because they involve migrating customers' very complex pre-existing custom app-integrations and custom IVRs, so the customer needs a custom-built solution. It's for...

    No. I work for an MSP that has like 60% of the F500 as customers, not SMBs.

    Big margin calls also generally take crypto down too, yet BTC and ETH were surprisingly resilient today.

    Can't fit a TV bigger than 50 inches on the wall its on. So that means the QN90A or a C1 OLED pretty much.

    I did notice eye strain when I first got the TV but I thought that was just due to brightness.

    The only eyestrain I've had is because it's way too fucking bright unless you adjust it. Which Sony TVs have 120hz game modes?

    Yes, I tried it with my real gaming machine and it's very cool. It's not near my main computer so I'm trying to build another computer with an 6800 XT but uh... those don't exist. Right now it's running off this laptop with a 3050, but the laptop has HDMI 2.1 so the VRR works.

    Channel_Fan_1? Not Chassis Fan 1? It's just telling you there's nothing connected to the CPU fan header. You have it connected to a Chassis fan header.

    Probably unpacking/decrypting a lot of data something else similar during initial startup. That doesn't seem unusual to be maxing 100%. Most people don't understand that newer 8c/16t processors should NOT have all-core turbo enhancement enabled in BIOS unless they have an extremely good...

    Oh I definitely do. There's a big correlation between people being stuck inside during the winter and crypto going up lol, I said that last year. But I don't think it'll run up big until after Christmas.

    I think there's intentional market manipulation going on in this range for BTC and ETH. Let enthusiasts run up the price near 4k, then the big players take their profits combined with generating a bad news day or two to cause it to it tank back below 3k, repeat.

    Life got a lot better after I left that dysfunctional deathcult that was my previous job.
