  1. Past hour
  2. Raccoon fun.

     

  3. Talk about close shave. https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/smartphones/snapdragon-8-series-mobile-platforms/snapdragon-8-gen-2-mobile-platform
  4. Build that conspiracy brick by brick... It's not a complex thing, there are pcbs and components and sikdered traces. The videos outline how it works at scale. If you do not understand them, go more granular and research the exact soldering method they use, for example It's not shady or smells bad. You're not some investigative reporter uncovering the scandal of the decade.

    I finished a mini-documentary on how Bill Gates…

    Owen is going to be pissed for not getting narration credits.
  6. Pentiums 4 was on 775, fyi. I'd say 7th gen. Very simmilar to 7th gen, and pretty small increase over 2nd gen. It was like 5 years of quad cores on the desktop.
  7. And that is why Terra is not my first pick even for smaller ITX build. Its price is well compensated with an amazingly built case, but its debilitatingly limiting to get more performance out of your thin budget. I would personally recommend to transition a well valued build into ITX later down the line instead of having to build it in a Terra now, or save up for a proper PC for your budget. Let me show you both plans.

A lot of people have issue with partitioning specifically for Linux where Windows deletes parts of the Linux partition, leaving the install brick. PS: this case only supports 2.5 inch drives, so if its the bigger 3.5 inch, you are SOL. Either you have to put it outside of the case, or get an external HDD encloser.
  8. The Fujitsu is only worth something if you have the server that's compatible with that card, and the vapor X has a sleek cooler but that's it. None are especially interesting or uncommon cards.
  9. 7th gen and 11th gen. Honestly I dont think 14th gen is that disappointing compared to those two
  10. Hey everyone, we hope you had a good week. Earlier this week we rolled out a new system for bringing up concerns regarding brands we work with. We ask that you all read that, as this will help us stay more focused on resolutions to problems. As far as things we wanted to touch on this week, we’ve got a couple of updates on some brands that we stepped back from. Epomaker We have been working firsthand with Epomaker to address some of the issues we saw brought up on the Forum, and we intend to continue reaching out to members of our community who may face issues. We have also kept our eye on concerns that the mechanical keyboard community as a whole has brought up and we continue to assist Epomaker with these. They have updated their customer service with new policies that emphasize the customer and increased the support staff on their team. The last thing we talked to them about was some concerns about IP infringement. This is residual from when they started out as a reseller. We shared a master list of these products with them, and worked with them to see that these were removed from their site. Secretlab After having a long late-night call with the team, hashing out many of the issues, we feel as though they are taking a lot of these concerns more seriously now. They’ve adjusted their customer service focus to tackle problems more on a case by case basis, with an emphasis on doing right over doing what is “standardized.” They have also added a team dedicated to making sure that no customer complaints go over 48 hours without a response. We have also discussed with them what are reasonable solutions to problems with products, including when it would be wise to repair or replace. They have even provided our team with a dedicated member to address any future complaints that we can monitor and make sure that those same reasonable solutions are being provided. We will be resuming our partnership with Secretlab. Thank you all again, and I wanted to give a special thanks to anyone who was able to participate in our charity auction this week or even those who were able to donate a couple of bucks directly.
  11. In recent memory, 10th gen HEDT, it was basically 14th gen if it happened 2 times in a row. 11th gen is also famously bad since the 11900K was slower than the 10900K it replaced in some instances, though that at least had other advantages and wasn't a pure side grade like 10th HEDT or 14th gen was.

    😕 That's the issue. Those freaking rivets exten…

  13. Can someone help me find a monitor arm that can do two 34.2 ultrawide monitors? Also one with a 34.2 and 27 inch monitor?
  14. If only I could test it. I’d have to spend the thousands of $ first.
  15. That's the problem. Software decode is intensive.
  16. And no, I'm not talking about stuff like the Pentium 4. It has to be on LGA 775 or anything after.
  17. With the disappointment that is 14th gen, I've been wondering if any other intel CPU generations were on par or more disappointing than it.
  18. While they may not support hardware AV1 decoding, as long as they have Android 12 or higher, they should have native software decoding for AV1, no? At least that's what I'm getting from the article.
  19. Are these real hall effect joy-sticks?? This product looks amazing, please do a review! I would love to see, you buy and test a whole shwack, of items, from the store: 8BitDo, located on Ali Express. As a distinguished Gentleman, I have provided, the Sauce: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMR90ca
  20. Decent first build Can you be more specific on the PSU? This is one component you don't cheap out on or go with a dangerous unit.
  21. Yeah I did try a single stick in each slot. Again no difference. Only A1 and A2 works. Sadly I think I'm out of luck. I have two defective slots.
  22. ran ddu installing driver now will quote you again if the problem happens again if i dont ,good news
  23. I am building a pc made of parts I took from prebuilts. The specs will be: intel core i5-6500 Stock cpu cooler Msi pro h110-m motherboard Msi ARMOR OC gtx 1070 a random case I found on the internet(about the only new part in the entire build) a random 500w psu
  24. As per the post title. Got a fresh M10 drive and I just can't get it to work. I have done some research and made sure it is enabled in BIOS, has ACHI changed to RST and also opened up some space with a partition manager which has done nothing up to yet. Most people online with this issue seem to be missing one of the aforementioned prerequisites. Intel have fully EOL'd this and as such doesn't even offer support for it anymore, so I was hoping someone here has an idea on what to do next. Thank you
