    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Just a joke. I don't drink. I am retired at 55 besides health problems I would be retired now anyway. Mostly due to gambling, not the kind sitting in a casino. Buying stuff that can have zero value for some time or none at all forever. Then having it pay off largely. A lot of stuff is gambling...

    Just noticed my Arctic MX-7 thermal paste has a website to check to make sure it's not counterfit. Seemed odd.

    I know this will sound like the ultimate whiny bitch but I don't care. I did not go to college until I was 24. From 18-24 I was making real good money. Enough I started with a new 4wd truck, a nice apartment, a new car, then bought a house. Sounds like paradise. And it was kinda. But everyone...

    Dating

    Some people are just not right but together they work out, and work out great. I knew a guy years ago that was just a step ahead of the law all the time. I lost contact with him and talked to his wife not long ago. Turns out I knew her back then. She lived across the street from him. Said she...

    That's what I used on the computer it is replacing. First time working on with a new dual chamber case. Slightly related I did add a second M.2 and now the new insta latch system is a lot easier than dicking with a tiny screw on my old Am4 board. Going back to that will be the next option. I...

    Guess I'm good to go. I don't even own a TV. Of course the last console I bought (actually it was a gift) was a Microsoft Xbox 360.

    Tech market is usually forward looking. Sho knows until it actually is put into action. At this point could be like cold fusion that gets announced someone has found it, over and over. A lot of gaming micro transactions now are fear of missing out, well the market is too. We shall see. But if it...

    Having issues. The NZXT Cam software will control the RBG and fan speed of only NZXT fans which is fine with me on the RGB end I can't see any of them anyway. However I tried the Gigabyte Control Center to run the case fans at a certain speed or curve and no it won't work together. I tried a...

    Slay the Spire 2 - early access March 5th - four player coop confirmed

    I had never heard of it. It came up on the steam sale so I bought the first one on sale. Then I saw there was a post here. I played it a little. I'll have to get more into it before I go for part 2.

    You laugh but it's only a matter of time until unlocking more memory you already have in your computer, or unlocking your CPU for a fee happens. Similar to cars shipped with heated seats that you pay a subscription fee to actually use them. Probaably the only thing in the way now is CPU makers...

    Phase convertor to power my mill or lathe or nothing compared to the price of getting 3 phase in a residential area is nothing. Derail over. I'm sure data sites are sucking up all the power soon anyway.

    I have all that stuff with an oscilliscope at my house. But I was at my parents house doing something for them. It will stay here when I go home. Harbor Freight smelled like cosmoline still. Imagine that lol. I prefer individual screwdrivers than something with a bit. Lot easier to work with...

    It came with the house when I bouht it. The owner had some equipment in the shop he used. I used it for a while since I had acess to some industrial welding machines.

    Yeah I only have a boot drive in now. I have two other drives and not sure if I will put them in now or not. I have a NAS for mass storage. I looked into Signal RGB and looks like I will just keep my computer where I can't see it which is the way it is now.

    I knew I didn't want kids nearly all my life. Makes me a defective person and I'm okay with that. But it always came up pretty soon with the women I was dating. Also a reason why at age 55 the last 3 girlfriends I've had and have lived with me are women I dated a long time ago that had kids...

    I've never been on the cutting edge of graphics cards with the game I play. But unless something comes out that is game changing I'm probably done buying a new one for a very long time. At one time I had 480 volt 3 phase power here, not once did I say "Gee some day I can run a GPU with it"...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I like vintage audio stuff. I have a Sansui G5500 receiver driiving two cerwin vega speakers. They were bought new around 1976. I had the speakers refoamed, still going good. At one time in the set was a CD player from the early 80's. It's long gone. But I do run my Panasonic RT-909 reel to...

    Cheapest set of small/electronic type screwdrivers harbor freight had. I have a ton of stuff in my shop, but I'm not there right now. Big spender I think I spent <$5. I haven't been in one in maybe 10 years.

    I just wasn't aware there was an infusion or anything related for any kind of dementia. Guessing he has a limited time for it. He is past retirement age but on my sisters insurance. Maybe mediciad pays for that stuff, maybe not. No idea. They didn't know or nobody they asked knew either. If he...

    The Official Guitar Thread

    Anyone ever play a guitar with a 7.25" radius on the neck? Seems incredily tight and sounds like it would be a royal pain. 75th anniversary Fender Telecaster that just came out spec is based on a '51. No thanks. I have guitars with a 9.5", a 12" and one 12" compouned. But smaller than 9.5 jeeze.

    Just up until I quite. Gale, Minthara, Jaheria, Minsc, Halsin, and who knows who else. Not that I was looking for a full party. I just send them to camp. But it does lower the exp, but you still end up max but it cuts down on content and items.

    My brother in law started a new infusion deal that is "new". I'm not sure if it's expiremental. It took his insurance a long time to approve it. He has arterial dementia which I had never heard of an apparently was called hardening of the arteries. He's pretty thin, 6'-6 and maybe 230 at most...

    I met Chuck once a long time ago just long enough to shake his hand. He was at a large gun show just walking around and he was getting mobbed. I shook his hand but a lot of people were trying to tell him Chuck Norris jokes which I am sure he got tired of eventually.
