  1. Its a smaller % of games that need you to purchase micro transactions. Very Few AAA games Make you pay for more then Cosmetics but it does seem to be heading that way one day. Hopefully the star wars backlash Keeps devs away from Advantages gained from Payment.
  2. Wouldnt a GT 1030 or RX 550 also be overkill compared to the APU your quoting? https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=8 Can get a 710 for $20 or a 730 for $30 on EVGA site. Edit: Reading later posts if possible the Ryzen Chips with GPU built in will be much better not sure when there launching there recently announced. But a Ryzen and $20 GPU is still way better then going bulldozer. Unless your finding it used and much cheaper no point.
  3. What Car do you have? I almost pulled the Trigger when i was buying a car on a focus ST 3 (If thats what your talking about) I decided to go WRX though
  4. Due to how the Cards are Right now Pricing is High. You Paid a Bit much but Somewhat in line with current pricing. I bout a GTX 1080 for $400 a few months ago and just sold it for $720 on ebay. 1050TIs which are better by a little were going for $300USD now back around $220s launched at $150 though.
  5. The Groove Music Pass streaming service was discontinued on January 1, 2018. The built-in Groove Music app will continue to play all the music you’ve purchased and downloaded or uploaded to OneDrive, but will no longer stream or play any Groove Music Pass content. We’ll continue to update the Groove Music app so you can play your purchased music, including the tracks you’ve uploaded to OneDrive. On December 31, 2017, the option to stream, purchase, and download music from Groove Music was discontinued. If your purchased music has been downloaded you’ll still be able to listen to it. You had Months to download the music to a OneDrive account and the Functions would still work on all the Songs you Purchased. If you want to use the Streaming side Music pass That existed you just have to get another streaming service to provide this for you. You didn't get ripped off in this case at all. Companies close all the time its aloud.
  6. he had a video or part of a moving vlog a good while back explaining and being open about it. Stuff like that 20k chips. he typically is sent on the agreement they will be featured in X amount of videos.( Not reviewed) He at the time was talking about the 6 like Titan cards for his editing rigs made a video of them all building there own computer and then another about something else. but a lot of the smaller stuff is just sent to them and the companies are just hoping he makes a video with it or part of a product launch send out. and then you have the Sponsored Videos which are usually labeled directly as such.
  7. Depends on the State in the USA. My state is a 1 Party State so only 1 of us have to agree to being recorded. Some states require both Parties envoled to accept the recording.
  8. Yeah any Diamond Blade will do for Ceramic and Porcelain tile.
  9. I Believe Sapphire Screens actually Crack More. But Scratch WAY Less. Tpyically the harder and stiffer the Material it actually Has less Give so it will shatter easier. Example is the Few Motorolla Screens that are Crack proof even at a 10 foot drop no case. They do this by using plastic Since it has more give being a softer material but it scratches very easily it comes with a screen protector right on it already
  10. Does it never not exist? it could be at times someone else using the internet bottlenecking the Bandwith highering the ping or something. i would keep an eye out with that test. Mine was constant Lower FPS but did have some Bigger spikes down at times but my ping was all over the place. though at times it would test okay. a spike to 21 once at the max is Good and shouldnt affect gameplay though. Worth a try. Could be game files but thats a weird low chance.
  11. Run this Test Not Speed Test. It will give you what actually affects your Gaming performance network wise. Look for spikes and or abnormally high ping over the course of mutiple minutes. I had this problem with a few Games due to high ping. Weird lag Stutters Randomly. You in the test should have an avg Below 10-20 and not spike above 30 Ideally. Slightly higher wouldnt be terrible. But i had a router/ USB Wifi adapter that would every once and a while spike to 100-300ms of ping. Your Computer probably inst bottlenecking at all. CPU/GPU wise http://www.meter.net/ping-test/
  12. It seems to be taking a small downturn right now. Cryptos have gotten Hammered in the last week +. my microcenter actually has okayish pricing now. and looking at ebay Sold prices there comming down slow though. New 1080s Were touching $1000 USD but Used ones were more between 650-800 During the spike and sitting around 650-750 now. I Like to watch the trend by searching GTX 1080 in Ebay Sorting the listing to 8gb Cards ( So it doesnt get Ti's mixed in) and on the bottom left you can click Sold Listings. it will show you every single one that recently sold and how much. Theres no knowing where it will go. But you can look at where it is right now.
  13. Yeah no one does. Last years been pretty Eh sort of high. But Last 5 weeks have been way out of the park compared to the last year. The Trend right now on ebay is slightly curving back downwards and so is my local stores. id at least wait a tiny bit and see before pulling a trigger. But the 1050TI is only $80ish high not a big deal if you wanted to pull the trigger now its not that wasteful. IF you were hoping for a 1060 in the $700 build range though its way overpriced.
  14. Decent build. Could trim some things down if you were trying to maximize every single dollar but If not penny pinching its good. It really is a bad Month to buy. its Crazy basically $100 for 8gbs of ram. Few years back be it DRR3 i paid $38 for 8gb and $180 for a r9 290 that would be similar in GPU performance. to a 1050ti. My microcenter after the latest crash GPU pricing are starting to come back to reality a little so its looking tiny bit positive.
  15. The USA Made Coinbase Turn over anyone who owned more then 20k worth i believe for this reason. I could be wrong going off the top of my head.
  16. Yeah there around $275-350 on my Listings. which considering the state isnt horrible but still Use to get em new 3 years ago at that. But 3x970 isnt a great mining rig.
  17. i bought a Phone Every Year ( not Iphone Though) Up untill my s7 Edge after SD820 Devices i dont think people will keep that path its Gotten to the point upgrades barley matter for daily regular use. SD820 835 & the Next month 845 id expect regular users to get 3-4 years without major performance issues easily. Battery Screen and other items will probably break or dwindle to purchase a new one before it becomes too slow. Kind of how computers have been since 2010 when intel launched i3 i5 i7 series.
  18. Eh $30 item is not a enticing on at $930 purchase $850 + Tax. Less then 5% off. Thats just my opinion. Though if i planed on buying one anyway its a nice addition.
  19. Relax Buddy Taxes are not Theft at Gunpoint. So much of your everyday life is not possible without Taxes. And if you have this big of a problem and think your taxes here is just the same as Gunpoint Theft. no one is holding a gun Requiring you to Live and pay taxes here. The Untied states Tax is relatively low-ish middle compared to many other developed countries. Heres 10 Countries that have 0 Income Tax United Arab Emirates Oman Bahrain Qatar Saudi Arabia Kuwait Bermuda Cayman Islands The Bahamas Brunei
  20. Mixture of Political Stuff Trump Talking about internet and the guy who is trying to revert net neutrality Oh yeah perfect storm.
  21. They Could. They won't though. It would have to be cost effective to the Tiny amount of users who would prefer it. Im Someone who Would rather use my browser as if every site had an app id have a abundance of apps that i have to find and switch between when i have a browser that could do it all. Though i do understand the want if you use it a lot and Want the best possible experience just don't expect it to really happen due to costs and resources being spent elsewhere by Linus.
  22. I think the reason Cards are not in lime light is the niche market Now days. U.S. gamingrevenue is forecast to reach $23.5 billion in 2017. Trading cards Cant be anywhere near that. The Video games are starting to specifically target and go after People with gambling tenancies and young kids. They are changing to do so better and better being digital they can change the odds on the fly they can adapt so much better then the trading card industry can. They Provide Casino like roll of the dice in front of the user. As someone whos never bought a single Loot box with real money it doesnt bother me much maybe being an older 24 year old idc about pink guns. But so many 12 year old / young kids ive seen crave the skins and spend lots of money on loot boxes thoese fifa and such Cards. its like engraved into there minds they need it. I was at a casino (real one) playing 21 blackjack. a Guy very messy with clothes that look 2 years past throw out time walks up to the table with $600 20 minutes later leaves the table with 0. I seriously believe he had a problem with gambling. and i might be someone who also has the outlook of thats his choice and his problem i played casually and lost $50 bucks so can he. but man it still felt sorta wrong. Just seems even worse to go after young kids.
  23. Its the safest its ever been to Travel and live in todays world. Look into some facts. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/excellent-beauty/201607/is-the-world-more-dangerous-now-ever It would be much Less Borining i agree though. Like others mentioned idk about traveling through customs ect with a complete stranger but it shouldn't be a big deal. anyways good luck finding someone as you stated it would be cool to go with someone who shares are interest people on here should think thats a good thing to some degree thats why were all on here. if not show your wife some facts about how great the world is and stop watching TV News haha.
  24. Yeah ive only sold 3 of my own personal items. Guess what they all got a fair price and got a real Item that works exactly as described. I did have to wait the 21 days or when they said it was all good for my money. I Have bought many more items then that on ebay i just have not had much to sell its not like my only ebay experience was those 3 times. There is many sketchy For Sales from people with High Rep theres ways around that and theres also ways around the 21 day wait limit with people and no rep. The Real answer is just dont buy an actually sketchy priced and or post in general and your 99% safe. Also I Noted more then just pay pal. Honestly if it was me id just file the claim with my credit card company and have my money back that same day. as its the best easiest and most effective way. But there are other options. Credit cards are great for this.
  25. wut lol. This is such dumb thinking. Many people use ebay to sell something that they no longer need or would rather have money for. Thats what ebay was Created for. its turned into a different place now but it still offers that. I Sold my GTX 1080 the other day on ebay but only have 3 reviews in 5 years. That doesnt mean Im ripping the buyer off.... This post of Ram has 7 positive reviews and 0 negative just because there not Neweggs ebay account doesnt mean its like buying something in the back alley of the ghetto. You get protection from paypal and ebay and your credit card company..... even the shipper sometimes. Some people dont run a buisness on ebay and are just selling Stuff thats just laying around once or twice a year.
