    The Fast Food Thread

    Playing devil's advocate on the pricing. Keep in mind, this is in London. All of those American cereals are imported and not widely available. You can't just pop into your local grocery store and pick that stuff up. They have local UK versions of some of them, but they are the equivalent of...

    It's easier to just take multiple lower exposure shots and just stack them vs long exposures with all the light pollution, right?

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I've got a Land Rover LR4 and air down for off-roading in the desert. Ended up buying a tool that I can plug into the OBD port that allows me to disable TPMS entirely. As Borzak said, if you can't tell you have a flat on big truck tires you deserve to die. Unfortunately TMPS is mandated to be...

    M.2 SSD shitty for home use? Have you seen the advertised speeds on some of them? SATA is a massive speed bottleneck of old SSDs. Samsung announces new 950 Pro SSD, with blazing read/write speeds on tap | ExtremeTech As for USB3, yes I am severely lacking ports on my current Z77 based...

    Watches

    Yea, I bought my Tag at London Heathrow duty free at the airport and even with the USD to GBP it was slightly under the going price. Unfortunately that watch sits collecting dust these days as I wear my Omega Planet Ocean 24/7 now.

    I have sli 980 Ti though. =D Currently on 3770k @ 4.4GHz / 16GB DDR3 @ 2400MHz. It's just an irrational upgrade bug. I haven't gone this long in pretty much ever without an upgrade. I am usually the once a year or two rebuild kind of guy. Hence why I said talk me out of it.

    It's the new Z170 chipset that is alluring. Tons of USB3 ports, M.2 SSD interface, DDR4, etc.

    Home Theater/Game Room Thread

    Input lag. Is it really that critical for playing video games? What are we talking about, the difference of 50-150ms here and there? (0.05 - 0.15 seconds) Most HT setups like mine also route through an AVR for surround sound. You are adding even further lag there and mine is completely...

    I drive an LR4. (Discovery 4 in Europe) The new Discovery Sport replaces the outgoing LR2. Pretty much the bottom rung of the Land Rover lineup. It's a shitty underpowered soccer mom "truck". It also holds 4th in CRs worst cars of 2015. The true Discovery (LR5) replacement is due as a 2017...

    New Progression Server confirmed

    Nope. Pre-nerf version basically is allowable from inventory by all/all. Postnerf limits to Druid / Shaman only on equip. The regrowth effect is the same in that it acts like a snare + 15hp/tic regen. The snare component instantly drops SoW / jboots.

    I love my XPS13. Best Dell laptop I have seen in a long time. My only gripe is the stupid webcam is placed in the lower left corner. Skype cam up my fucking nose isn't so great.

    Random issue with W10 on my HTPC. HTPC worked perfectly fine with W8.1 but since the upgrade, every time I reboot the stupid thing it fails to pull an IP from DHCP on my router. The thing goes with a default Windows IP and will not connect to the network. Resetting my switch at the same time as...

    Pretty much no on every count there with how to use a Moka pot. First, I use a cheap grinder exactly like what is listed on Amazon. Second, you do not tamp it at all. It tells you that right in the instructions. There's not enough pressure like a true espresso machine to force water vapor...

    The Moka pot isn't all that time consuming. Hell, you could buy pre-ground coffee and it still tastes significantly better than drip. You put water in the bottom, fill the middle with grounds, put it on a burner. How difficult is that, really?

    Everquest II

    Played with them from Beta through DoF. They were just fine logging worldwide item discoveries. Don't really give two shits about my guild from 10+ years ago either, so whatever floats your boat. The point was the Vox strategy and resultant ban on this new progression server. It's fucking...

    Everquest II

    Way back in EQ2's heyday, my guild (Xanadu) had tons of worldwide firsts and were always cutting edge. I played a Guardian at the time, and we NEVER fought Vox on her platform and no one gave a fuck. I can think of other encounters through the years where people were tasked with running off...

    Yea, I sold out pretty huge when I quit. Sceptre of Destruction, Holgresh Beads, and about 8mil plat for a couple grand. I kept my pre-nerf Fungi Staff which I still have to this day collecting dust on AB server. Should have sold that back in the day for truckload of plat / cash. It's pretty...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    You also need to look at the fact torrent rips and especially stream sites will compress the shit out of 1080p. Hell, most TV torrents are only 720p and STILL compressed. With better bandwidth as a whole (no caps of course), we could move to lossless formats as well as HD Master Audio, etc. Add...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    I completely agree re caps, but why choose to stagnate tech / bandwidth? It's like the old memory / hard disk argument that has gone on for decades. This 10G "too big" argument will look just as dumb as those statements in the not too distant future. That was my point. But yes, caps are...

    First off, Skylake-E isn't due until a year from now. I am not waiting that long. Secondly, the premium for the E versions are nowhere worth the money and are outdated tech by release. Intel used to release their EE (extreme edition) processors first in the lineup. They capitalized on...
