Basically the government mining agency wanted to reduce subsidies, and was closing pits at a steady rate. There were strikes, power outages as a result, but sadly Thatcher and her cronies won out in the end, and mining communities quickly became some of the poorest places in the country and are still suffering as a result of all the pit closures over the last 40 years.

This extends to Intel vs AMD threads.

they don't
 
they both make x86 processors of similar build quality.
 
the speed of them depends on what they release year by year
 
AMD does not make better processors

It has no competition, therefore the price is super high. It doesn't cost an insane amount to make, it's just what they can get away with.

Try a simple wireless AC router. I have a nighthawk 7000 for instance. If all the devices are generally used concurrently, you might consider getting a better data plan

No it’s not. However, scientists think that human evolution became slower because there is lesser evolutionary pressure and Homo sapiens learned to take evolution to their own hands. 
 

Not often at all when you have a good PSU.  Something really awful has to happen for protections to not act and any decent PSU has protections to mitigate that.
 
You already did, you bought a PSU that isn't a grenade, congrats.  You'll be fine.

Do you want to max out the performance at that budget? Or is saving a portion something you'd like to consider?

Great airflow and a GPU expansion. I broke your APU rule, since the 3700X is a huge boost in many ways to the 8700. I included an inexpensive GPU to provide both an HDMI and a DVI output option. (If the monitors used need something different, there are other options.

Any chance a low end GPU and an AMD CPU could be utilized?

some notes:
-the SG13's front panel is basically a dust filter
-an ATX PSU is fine
-cheaper, less overpriced SSD
-the AMD solution would likely be around the same or better in general performance
-if you need a bit more graphics performance on either, these are good options:

The PC won't be used for games. Read it over.

The 2700 would be a better option, at $150.

It may be that you don't have to change anything around here, let's wait for the other members of the community to come to see what they think, but from what you say this machine seems to be enough.

So you have found that Windows is boot strapped by DOS. To be market dominant they needed to be backwards compatible with 16-bit applications and they needed to be able to run DOS programs while also providing a modern GUI. Early Windows is mutant DOS, an iteration/evolution/extension.
Here is one article that is actually hard to read. I once read a better one from slash dot but i cant find it. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20071224-00/?p=24063
 
 
 
 

$249 vega 56 ain't shabby, either.

I'm not sure if youre following...
 
The OP either needs to replace his current display with one that has displayport or HDMI 1.3/2.0 
 
OR 
 
Get active adapters To move between displayport/DVI 

You definitely need to be running dual channel memory, preferably 3200 MHz or higher. Furthermore your graphics card is completely unsuitable for today's demanding games, it's going to need to be replaced if you seek to gain any benefit at all from the platform upgrade. If running 1080P an AMD RX 5700 or RTX 2060 Super would be good places to start. 

It should be possible, yes, but keep in mind that "the time" is incredibly imprecise, longitudinally. That's because entire countries or collections of countries often share the same timezone. Roughly speaking, a timezone is 15 degrees longitude wide - which works out to anywhere from 1000 km to over 1600 km wide (depends on how far north you are).
 
So as you can see, that can present some challenges for calculating precise longitude. You could get a very rough calculation, I'd assume. I wouldn't know what formula you'd have to use though.

Thank you both for showing me.

Rather than try to store a ton of batteries, can't we use a nuclear reactor to power a plane? The only time I am aware that this was carried out was about 60 years ago and I ponder if it is possible using modern-day technology.

This seems like a bait post on a new account. No they arent bad, they wouldnt be around if they were really that bad.

also new reactor designs wouldnt help aircraft that much as it is still the shielding that is the major issue.

innovation is still going on, its just a general no-go with nuclear powerplants. and the only reason most of them are LWR reactors is due to the navy being one of the few that really has a use for these monsters. 
 
designs in converting to liquid salt reactors are being proposed and hybrid fuelcells in current reactors. the work is slow as goverments have no incentive of creating new reactors. 

Recovering from a bad flash is going to require some tinkering:

On the bright side, you don't have to do any soldering to recover this one.

IPv6  for internet addresses does not work out of the box on DDWRT. I had to do some extra configuring to get it to work. You might need to go to the DDWRT forum to ask about that. I know I did. I had to add some things in the firewall section if I recalled as well as set some other configurations throughout the firmware.  
 
Not sure if this will work for your router: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=304079&highlight= thats my post on the DDWRT forum. 

You need to remember that before 2007 these Master and Slave devices connected to the motherboard were slow by today's standards with speeds ranging from 5MB/s up to 133MB/s. Meaning that it was possible to have two devices operating in parallel and thus the name parallel attachment or PATA, the reason for jumping/bridging the connector was to tell the BIOS which if the two connected devices held the OS (the second device could have been a CD/DVD drive or card reader).
