  1. We are taking a car, and driving to whistler if you're into that whole nature thing.
  2. I've got 2 adults flying into Seattle and were driving to vancouver. Were big car people so were renting a sports car on Turo, but you can find cheap stuff for 50 bucks a day or even less that'll give you the miles you need to drive there and back.
  3. Im on that exact laptop, exact specs, 8th gen something or other 6 core i7, 1050ti, 4k display, 32 gb ram, 1th hd. I got it at costco for 2k. It isnt a gaming laptop, its a work laptop, I'm a computer science student, and tabs are my jab, I multitask a ton, thus the ram. But I can run overwatch on ultra at 60 fps, at 1080p, you can get playabek framerates at 4k too, Ive run Black OPs 4 on low at 70 fps, etc. It games well enough. Battery life while gaming is good, I was playing Final Fantasy 115 for 2 hours w/o realizing it wasnt plugged in, It left me at a bit under half battery. I dont like gta v, thus havent played it, sorry. The battery life in general is solid, even with the 4k display. I can get 5 hours easily, I just turn the brightness down and coast. There are quirks though, it doesnt go into sleep properly all the time. It boots crazy fast, but sometimes takes longer to go out of sleep than it does to boot. Random audio bugs as well, If I close it, or it goes to sleep with my DAC plugged directly in it doesnt recognize it, and there are random crackles in the audio.
  4. Apple music pisses me off so much. I can't download music I've already paid for through itunes, i have to pay more money to be able to listen to them. They better not touch the stuff I have downloaded, but I think that's going to be the case soon.
  5. Yeah, that suit was legit. she has 3rd degree burns on her crotch, and needed skin grafts. That's a drink you're supposed to put into your mouth, it being that hot is ridiculous.
  6. Pobably not, you should get an amp to get the most out of them
  7. I think its just that you're used to 60 fps on your pc, and what you cap it to 30 you can see the lag and stutter a lot easier, but on a console your mind has no reference point, and thus it doesn't look as bad at 30 fps. id be interested to see a side by side console vs pc at 30 fps though.
  8. Those awful keycaps though. I used on in the store, and i couldn't type on the damn thing.
  9. Im looking for a receiver for my pool house, but I want something kinda complicated. Im going to have interior and exterior speakers, and I want to be able to play the interior ones by themselves, as well as the interior ones plus the exterior ones, with an exterior and interior subwoofer connected to their respective channels. I don't think Ill ever play just the exterior speakers alone, so I don't need the receiver to be able to do that. Is this possible? Does such a receiver exist? Thank you in advance.
  10. well the 600's will give you the same problem. if you don't want to buy an amp go for something lower than the 600's. The hd 600's are 300 ohms too.
  11. what do you mean you don't have the equipment for the 70/800's they're 300 ohms like the 600, you may now have the best amp in the world, but you would be able to use them if you can use the 600's
  12. I don't think this is a prime day sale, as it isn't in the US, but thats great nonetheless. They were 100 off yesterday in the us too, today they're back to normal price
  13. They seem to do alright in program use, which is what a student will mostly be using it for. A Video editing work horse it is not, but word, excel, a bit of coding are all things it can handle well enough. And you can't deny the power and space savings they enable.
  14. the i3 is 800, but again, thats an i3 with 4 gb ram and a tiny ssd. When you spec it us to the level of the x305 ram and ssd wise you are spending closer to 1200 bucks.
  15. the dell ups 13 is out of that range, that is a sexy laptop though. I want one so bad.
  16. Im pretty sure viruses are usually free....
  17. well there are. Theres the weekly bundle, and the humble bundle
  18. I would say its more that the really good bundles are more spread out now, but yeah, pretty much the same thing. There aren't enough games man.
  19. Monument valley is good, but I know I won't get this. I already have tons of like games I haven't played yet, so theres no reason I should get this.
  20. I really want a mech, and am going to buy one, but the styling of this one isn't my thing. I prefer the less "gamer"-y look.
  21. onsite and offsite backups of high capacity mechanical drives. Look at what LMG is doing. A badass raid 50 ssd array to work from, and a bunch of mechanical drives for the back ups.
  22. I have one, (parents are apple fanboys) and It works great for me. I really only consider that value to be there for time capsule though, and that only works with apple computers (I believe). Overal a pretty good dual band router, though it lacks replaceable antennas.
  23. Im pretty sure a large amount of data can be recovered, even from a scratched or even broken disc. I personally have never had to deal with hard drive recovery, so I cannot say for sure. If an ssd fails, I don't know if its even possible to recover it in any capacity. If you have large amounts of critical data that you CANNOT lose, mechanical drives are still the way to go, as they also have a data recovery market which you can go to to recover any data you would of lost if it was on ssds.
  24. The argument is not over the current market status, but rather over inherent positives to each storage medium.
  25. It has a couple benefits that sad's don't have. They can be written to MUCH more heavily without wearing out, so they usually last longer. Also, while yes the disks are more fragile (though if you keep them stationary and limit vibrations you'll be fine), if your hard drive fails because of something aside from the disc you can recover the data. You can't do that with an ssd nearly as reliably. If a hard drive gets an unfortunate jolt of electricity it can be recovered. If an ssd gets that same jolt, the whole thing is fried.
