    Honestly, SSDs are dirt cheap right now, I'd recommend just grabbing a 2TB and being done with it.

    BallisticPeanut reacted to Electronics Wizardy in i3 1080p video editing   
    Do you already have this system? If you do why not just start using it? Most editing programs have a free trial, and if performance is an issue, you can upgrade.
     
    But basic 1080p editing can be done on almost any system these days and its plenty to learn on .

    BallisticPeanut got a reaction from Levent in Cheap device to get started with night videography.   
    At 500 bucks, I think a used Canon 5d2 is probably the best option:

    Combine that with the Magic Lantern Firmware and a cheap 50mm 1.8 and you can have a pretty capable set up.

    BallisticPeanut reacted to PDifolco in I3-4170 paired with Rx 6700xt   
    Your CPU is so old and weak that it will hold back anything.. If you have like $500 to spend rather get a 12100F ($100), a cheap board ($100), 16GB DDR4 ($50), and a $250 RX6600 GPU, this whole set will work much better

    BallisticPeanut reacted to Middcore in A770 vs 3060?   
    At this price range get the 3060 or 6600/6650/XT. 
     
    It is flabbergasting to me how many people are coming out of the woodwork interested in being guinea pigs for the first generation of Intel's cards while ignoring AMD's cards at this price point that perform as well or better and are mature.

    BallisticPeanut reacted to GuiltySpark_ in A770 vs 3060?   
    I cannot fathom how there is interest in these cards after watching even a single review, did they not stay for the conclusion? RX6600XT all day.

    Irrelevant,  the law exists because of poverty (or something in that vein/relation), the law applies to every product not just products only poor people can afford. 
     
    Not a good comparison, it would be more like a pc selling without a power cord.

    So... Not passed.
    So California didnt pass a law.

    Dude. Im all for talking about the policy but dude. Don't set the tone like that because I now have no faith in the conversation being made in good faith.

    There are 2 issues in your post. 1 is parenting, 2 is this law.
     
    You're not a parent.
     
    Did you ever go anywhere your parents told you not to go when you were young?
     
    You also realize that pornhub doesn't have age verification, right?
     
    Basically, real life issues are not relevant online.  Ie.  a 12 year old can't walk into a strip club, but can access porn easily online, even the most depraved and fucked up shit out there.  Can parents stop that?  They could if they were knowledgeable, but technology changes and evolves so fast that even good parents can't keep up with all the new ways kids can do shit.
     
    There are literally dozens of new apps daily that are purpose built for kids to bypass shit.
     
    Raise a child, then come back and talk.
     
    Edit:  3.  Who the fuck is Rebecca Watson?  4.  You can't destroy the internet, stop being a drama queen.

    This is the lowest price I've seen for a 6600 XT, I picked it up immediately. Shipped and Sold by Amazon so no sketchy 3rd party seller. It's also shorter than the average 6600 at 200mm so it should be great for SFF builds.

    You know, you could just:

    Seriously. You have no idea what you are actually talking about when you talk about a 8ms response time as if it is an actual meaningful stat.
     

     
    9.4ms total Input lag is actually REALLY good and better than many if not most bargin TN panels (including the Samsung 120Hz TN panel that looks better from a ghosting perspective below).
     
    60 Hz might not be ideal for FPS games, but it's quite great by comparison for many others (including a wide variety of games that just don't scale worth shit over that mark).
     
    As for ghosting. It's actually pretty darn good there as well (for the price.)
     

    24" 8ms G2G LG.Display e-IPS (W-LED)

    23.6" 2ms G2G CMO TN Film (120Hz)

    It is entirely possible but it depends on your router's model. Many routers allow you to set up a guest WiFi network with just a few clicks.

    BallisticPeanut reacted to 2FA in Trump: Internet control belongs to US. Period   
    Nobody said she was, just because someone attacks Trump doesn't mean they think favorably of Clinton. Both have about 60% disapproval ratings so the person is more likely than not to not care for either nominee. 
     
    She has very limited knowledge of technology which is evident from her statements to the FBI.
