    I mean if a mechanic finds 10 pounds of meth in a car are they not supposed to turn it into police?

    This is why you get two monitors. 60 FPS is painful after playing at 144 FPS, almost like playing at 30 FPS again if you're used to 60 FPS

    eBay is fine as long as you use Paypal and don't do payments outside of eBay. Make your listings as accurate as possible, search what other people are selling Xeons for and price similarly, and you should be fine. These days it's pretty hard to get outright scammed on eBay, and I haven't had anybody try to scam me in years...unless you count somebody wanting to send me $400 cash for a $600 camera I was trying to get rid of

    I would just go and host it, I doubt they'd care about games. They don't want you paying consumer price and using business amounts of bandwidth (not that there should even be a difference), the only thing they'd (probably) make you do is upgrade to a business package with (probably) higher speed and increased data cap. A game server for TF2 won't be that noticeable

    By third party do the mean Energizer or Duracell or something? Cause those aren't exactly bad batteries, but I imagine faulty products you stick them into would make any battery explode. Then again if she did buy cheap Chinese batteries from eBay then that might be at fault too, but saying 'third party' doesn't help anything

    Do you mean Carolina Reaper?

    Trump's administration is all about removing regulation, so I'm not very surprised. I'm a little saddened since this isn't what I wanted, but it hasn't made a difference to speeds and throttling in the area I moved from, and the area I recently moved into just gave me gigabit yesterday with no limits and no contracts required. Really sucks that the companies most prone to abusing this have their monopoly in the most populated parts of the USA. Hopefully more and more places get Verizon and AT&T gigabit, and hopefully Time Warner stops advertising 60Mbps as super speed

    That's how we get people to follow rules. If you convince companies it's cheaper to follow the laws than to get sued into oblivion, they'll follow the laws. Kinda sad it takes money for people to be decent anywhere These fines entertain me, sometimes I wish one of these companies would say "we aren't paying it" then just stop operating in the EU. They could stay in UK and the rest of the planet just fine I'm sure

    Oh man, of all the issues with Vista I somehow managed to never have (I actually liked it more than XP at the time) I never understood why that was ever a problem

    May want to look into using a VPN to get around region restrictions, but sites that illegally stream these (which would mean for free) aren't discussed on the forums

    Too bad my neighbors have a dumb dead tree overshadowing my entire yard that they won't cut down. I'm hoping it finally breaks and kills my dog or something so I can sue them into oblivion and get panels or solar shingles put up

    How many transgender people even play CS Go?

    Unless Japan wasn't part of Asia in 1985 it definitely affected them

    Even the US-official We The People petitions have done absolutely nothing to convince the Obama/Trump government since the petitions started but I guess people can sign that web page with an e-mail that may well be fake and sleep soundly knowing they made a difference

    Can't say I really blame them, Windows 7 is losing support in just under 3 years and about as many people use Windows 8 as people who own a Wii U, so why would Microsoft want to put resources to soon-to-be-dead OS's when Windows 10 has all the spying and functionality they want? Plus the convenient cross platform gaming if you own an Xbone which I'm sure is only one step further to having a Netflix-for-games where we rent games instead of own them, and a cloud based OS where we rent the OS instead of own it

    You get the same effect with amber tinted gun glasses or safety glasses

    iFixit's crap isn't very solidly made, I've been able to bend all their tools with two of my fingers and none of their plastic prying crap lasts more than 1 or 2 uses

    We aren't putting together firearms that'll explode if assembled incorrectly or car wheels that will fly off if the lug nuts aren't on enough. It's a heatsink that'll sit in the same spot and position for extended periods of time with hopefully little movement, designed for the average consumer to get something wrong and still survive. In other words don't over complicate things, it's fine

    As long as they exist, or else monopoly lawsuits begin and that won't be good for anybody. It's not like I want AMD to fail but saying "wait until Christmas" sounds a lot like "Battleborn won't be dead when it's on sale"

    Yea I don't understand where this misconception comes from, if you send your Switch or anything to Nintendo they repair it and send the same one back. If they didn't have to touch the storage then everything on it will still be there. Still I don't know why they don't freaking let us backup our mother ducking save files already, probably waiting for their paid service so we get cloud backup like PSN+ and Xbox live

    What's to stop people from buying Intel/Nvidia with their tax returns or Christmas presents? I feel if they can't sell tons of them now, then they probably won't be outselling Intel or Nvidia by Christmas, and as much as I hate to say it I'm pretty sure GeForce GTX 1080 sounds cooler to the masses than Ryzen 5. I'm not saying AMD isn't making good hardware now but I doubt they'll see a huge increase just because Christmas comes around. Or tax returns. Most people I know use their tax returns on rent or mortgage

    If they deliver to a PO box then they deliver to your area, just not directly to your house. Packages would go to your PO box if you get one and you'd have to go there to pick them up whenever they arrive. The post office will usually hold it for a few days before returning it to sender if you never go get it

    As long as they hire people who don't use "password" as their password like the DNC

    Dazzle has some decent capture cards too last I knew

    That's just the same Netflix-style bullcrap all game developers are pushing today. There will still be an eShop with virtual console eventually, which unfortunately didn't launch but will... eventually. You'll be able to buy all those N64 games you want. Eventually
