I'm not qualified enough to tell you guys how to run a benchmarking lab, but I will tell you a topic that I've always been interested in is optimal hardware configurations, and hardware configs that don't make sense/the graphs that show the bottlenecks when you pair a really powerful GPU with other budget parts The stuff Gamers Nexus does is cool and all, but I guess I just don't need to see a 50 point presentation about the acoustics of a case with the glass vs vented side panel comparison lol, but hey some people geek out about that

the subway is WAY more sketch than it was 5-10 years ago. It's relapsed since covid-19

ahh ok, glad it was explained somewhere at least, although I still don't get it. If you move them down to CC, they would still get the response? Oh well, no need for further explanation. That one is just odd to me. Why would you want to move someone who wrote you an email to CC? Seems overly complicating something that is supposed to be easy

One thing I still don't understand regarding the Billet Labs situation How can Colton respond to an email and mess up the "to:" field??? That part is populated for you! It makes no sense lol

I thought Steve's video was very well put together and contained clips/screenshots to drive home his points. I guess the only unknown for me is how the Billet Labs thing actually went down.... LTT seems to think the timeline Steve reported is false. No idea, don't care. The Billet Labs debacle was ridiculous and LTT deserves all of the flack they are getting for that one. Linus' pompous attitude from those wan show clips was so cringe. I don't think this is a "vocal minority wins again" situation. They did Billet Labs so dirty and rubbed salt in the wound when they got called out for it lol.

I definitely have an account and have 2 games that I've played from that launcher, but haven't used it in awhile. I just like steam - it's familiar and just works, but lately a few friends have persuaded me to give them another go because they have alot of good sales and freebies. I'm trying to log in, but when I do it asks me to enter an email verification code. That email never comes. I've checked all the spam and junk folders, and made sure to never send emails from them to spam from my filter options in gmail. Is there a way to fix this?

Not sure if the power blinked. I was away running an errand. The surge protector is maybe 3-5 years old. It isn't anything special - just a strip. Maybe I'll buy a new one when I figure out what I want to do about replacing the board. Nothing else got damaged. I have a few computers, so I basically swapped the board and power supply and left everything else the same - the same 2600x and 2080 super are in the PC I'm using right now

Spec list Ryzen R5 2600x CPU (not overclocked) Asus Strix b450i gaming motherboard EVGA 2080 super XC GPU EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 (850w PSU) 16gb corsair vengeance RAM 3200mhz Thermaltake Core V1 ITX case Long story short - I was using my PC one morning around 10am. It was raining but not thundering or lightning. I stepped away to run an errand, and when I came back, the PC was off and wouldn't turn back on. I went through my usual troubleshooting paces trying out all of the hardware in another system. Finally realized this while taking everything apart - there was a burn mark on the IO shield and on the back of the board by the CPU power connector https://imgur.com/a/KDvA64R Anyone know what might have caused this? I just bought the board in February, so it's a bummer that there's already a problem. I went through the RMA process, and Asus said the damage is CID (customer induced damage) and they want to charge me $130 to fix it. That is more than I paid for the motherboard itself. There's an option to dispute, so I tried that, but I'm not very hopeful that it will do any good. Thanks in advance for input

Yep, that's what I said I'm almost 40, and have been gainfully employed for over 20 years in an industry I like and don't intend to leave. I work with a lot of inflated egos, and most of those people shoot themselves in the foot because people generally don't like them. I might not be the smartest guy in this room, but people like me, and when they get new jobs, I get new job offers. When promotion opportunities arise, I get considered alot of times. Also, who wants to hang around with a big headed know it all.

it's less about what you actually know, and more about what other people think of you. Don't be a dick

you eat alot more funions. Also makes videogames fun

I don't think you were out of line, and yeah that first guy was being a dickhole. Paying customers deserve a reasonable degree of transparency and support. It doesn't matter how much the service costs. That said, I didn't dig too deep into how long your responses were delayed, so that isn't a dig at floatplane. 1 week is a reasonable amount of time for customer support to provide a transparent and non-BS answer, so hopefully that's what they did before you brought it to the messageboard.

you guys leave tunnel bear alone!!

Anytime I read an article about the RAM shortage, someone in the comments uses this phrase "it's simply supply and demand economics" my god, all the eyerolls.
