when they can do everything x86 systems can, one of my friends has an m1 macbook air for school and relies on a vm i set up for her schoolwork cuz of software like quartus or orCad

fair point

the powersupply won't be visible so why get a white one?

A PC I made completely out of parts people didn't want anymore, and gave to me for free, mounted on a couple pieces of wood a friend had lying around and didn't mind if I used. 
 
Specs:
Gigabyte GA 970a ds3p AM3+ motherboard
FX 6300 3 core 6 thread processor 
One stick of 2GB DDR3 from Samsung
A second stick of DDR3, this time 8GB, from a brand called "mushkin essentials" (So 10GB total, 1600Mhz) 
EVGA GTX 660
A 250GB 7200RPM Samsung hard drive, HD250HJ
And a 450watt EVGA 450BT 80+ bronze PSU 
 
Motherboard and CPU and CPU cooler came from a friend who upgraded his PC recently
HDD, and the Samsung stick of RAM came from an Optiplex 380 the local repair shop took in for repair, fixed, and the owner never came back and claimed. It had sat there for years they told me. 
Weird 8GB stick of RAM and the GTX 660 came from the same shop, they know me pretty well and didn't need them anymore either
And PSU came from a friend who needed a PSU upgrade to take a new graphics card. His old one was worse than the GTX 660 so I left it out of the build but he did give it to me. It was an R7 250 from MSI. 
 
I christen her, the Pollen inhaler 3000. The pollen is bad right now.

On this weeks WAN show, they laughably discussed creating a "Who the f$%k is Dan Besser" shirt.
I think Luke said soething about a silhouetted Dan.
Took a snip of Dan in the tub.
Tried to crop out, and make it B&W.
If it's cleaned up and darkened, think it would look ok on a shirt.

none of that matters at all, what matters for eyes is using them.
if you sit in the same position the same distance all day 17 hours a day at your desk and then sleep, your eyes are doing nothing.
they set your focus and then just nothing at all, no change.

the best case is to take tons of tiny 2-3 second breaks throughout your day and just look away from the screen, look out a window, look at distant objects, look at something bright, actually use your eye muscles.
Otherwise they just atrophy and suddenly you struggle to see anything.
Like if you are ever on a road trip or a plane or something and at the end of it you notice that your eyes hurt? That is because you never look at far away objects for long periods of time, your eye muscles are being stressed by something they don't do much. this is a very good sign you need to exercise your vision more.

That really sucks to hear it's defective: especially that avatar cooler which looks sick imo. 
 
I cannot believe that AMD won't warranty the card. Maybe @LinusTech can help you out?

I'm not trying to make this sounds like a big deal, but I am still seriously peeved.
The Translucent bezel was one of the selling points for me to get Laptop 13, but it was out of stock when I needed to order mine for university.
 
The bezel option is now back, sporting a few advertisements of their "limited run" on youtube and instagram.
These videos do not mention that you can only purchase the bezel option when buying a brand new laptop 13.
 
Framework Marketplace has no listing for the bezel, which saddens me deeply.

I'm not sure AM5's upgradability is an advantage here. If his last PC lasted 8 years, then I'd guess that by the time a 5600 or 7600 equipped PC stops being enough (maybe 2030-2032 (does depend on use case)) AM5 might be dead and buried.

AMD's promise was only to support AM5 until atleast 2025 and therefore there is every chance we will only see one more generation of CPUs on the AM5 platform before they turn round and launch ***AM6*** in 2026/7. By 2030 they could even have launched ***AM7***. If that is the case, upgrading an AM5 system in 2030 will make very little sense.

Summary
 Sources within rockstar of Kotaku are saying that the game's production is falling behind while early 2025 is still the current goal it's likely that it'll probably get delayed to late 2025 or could even reach 2026

My thoughts
I think they should take their time, I recently played GTA 3 and then GTA 5 back to back and the difference in release date between those 2 games are almost same as gta 5 and 6, making an actual working game is big deal for studios now but it's better if they actually take their time to do so rather than rushing it out, it's not exaggerating to say messing this up will forever kill Rockstar's legacy, and whatever they make must change videogames forever again like GTA 3 did when it came and like GTA 5 did when it came out

honestly i don't really know, in 5 years of using firefox i found just 1 website that wouldn't cooperate (but i guess thats why explorer is built in to all our systems /s )

obviously the 3080 will be faster, however for the amount you will pay, you may find the 10gb of memory limiting (depending on your use case)

instead of buying a new motherboard, just get an rgb hub

just take the card out and start shaking the thing and the pc to get all the glass out
 
only thing id be concerned about here is resale value but thats about it since glass isnt electrically conductive

Didn't notice the power consumption difference. 50W+ on load is quite a lot. It seems like as long as you avoid heavily RT games, 7900 xt is cheaper and better in most cases.
Is there any place other than Newegg that has better pricing?

You can't update this BIOS straight up from an old 2019 version to the latest one, read the support page
 

Why?  Mostly because Linux evangelists are awful.
