  1. So I was watching a clip of Wan Show from mid November talking about Apple's repair program. It was discussing their hypocrisy of preaching one thing but doing the other This made me think of an old article about are tech companies actually becoming greener. However only because they went and leased a bunch of forest and did nothing with it. Did anything change? A forest that might or might of not been cut down lasts another year and a land owner got paid by tech companies. But did anything really change? https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/the-journal/the-growing-market-of-not-cutting-down-trees/5e0b4e3d-f26e-42cf-94e8-acaab805a65a
  2. Years ago I had nuheara iq buds (first gen). they were kinda first gen and buggy. Recently saw a short circuit with a similar technology with anker (I think). Have they gotten better? And who are the companies that are leading in this area. It was to be able to hear certain things around you but block out the rest.
  3. evga 650 watt is losing 2 cores going to kill me? I don't do streaming and if I am gaming nothing is really going on the second screen I could just toss it in my node 804 and nh-d14. I generally keep my case and flip the guts online. board is b350 (prime b350m-a) or just throw another $200 and toss my nh-d14 on this https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali564/p/83-360-194 Seems like the Thermaltake cpu cooler they are using is very crap
  4. https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/717272914 thinking I might just do this and call it a day.
  5. 10AM EST on Thursday? Is there a source you recommend to follow to know a few days ahead. All the bots I know are like its live good luck.
  6. oh I have been trying with stock alerts for a gpu alone. but its gone about as well as you would think. what are we talking difference wise. extra 20 fps or something?
  7. Budget (including currency): $1000 but rather not spend more then I have to Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Star Wars Battlefront 2, squadrons, retro things Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Got a gifted 32 inch 1440p qhd 165 hertz and 27 inch 1080p 1440 hertz monitor. Currently running a 1700, gtx 970 (and used to have 1080p monitors from a decade ago). The system isn't holding up with this. using about 450 gigs of storage right now. I can bring over my noctua nh-d14 if the stock cooling is crap. Though I usually keep my room very cool so not really a big issue I realize I most likely will have to buy a prebuilt because of the craziness of the world. looking through slick deals to see what is being shown for deals. gpu wise is a 1660 enough? or should I go 2060? ryzen 5600g-5700g/intel 10400f good enough? edit current stuff cpu 1700 mobo b350 ram 16gb ssd 500gb sata gtx 970 case node 804 psu evga 650g
  8. what about AMD variants? 6700 xt is equal to 3060ti? 6800 is equal to 3070?
  9. add $100-150 for each for non FE versions?
  10. 3000 series? I have been able to get my hands on a few ps5 for friends and family. so its not a problem to get them as msrp.
  11. Budget (including currency): $600 for gpu. I have wiggle room but would rather not overspend if I don't have to Country: usa Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: star wars squadrons, star wars battlefront 2. Other details amd 1700, b350 board, gtx 970, dual 27 inch 1080p 60 hz I plan on going to 1440p and 90-120 hertz. (picking up the monitors after) I also have no clue what MSRP is for current day cards (lets not feed the scalpers)
  12. the sats are 50 watts. So I have to get one that is lower or equal then the wattage?
  13. So my dad has a really old setup. Jsr 635 with sat125 and sub125. He's moved and decided to go full roku with his setup. The receiver is pure analog. What would be a good upgrade for him? The speakers are fine
  14. Looking for mid range phone with big screen, big battery, 64gb storage and front finger print The mi 9t won't work as it is missing band 66 and that is needed. It would be a perfect phone otherwise. Also potentially looking at next moto G when it comes out as its usually march release
  15. I had her try my sennheiser hd280 pro and she didn't like it due to the sweat factor. and then we went down to our local radioshack which somehow exists. its weird I know. If this was over ear it would be very easy. but on ear makes it hard.
  16. so looking for some headphones for a family member. She likes the style of Marshall Major 3. Any others I should look at? small ear pieces on ear Bluetooth (aux back up is nice) good for gym Suggestions for up to $150? cheaper good value options are welcomed
  17. I'm running a MI 9t Looking at a fitness tracker. Need: Footsteps mainly, tracking what I ate would be good in the software Like to have: Notifications are nice and mainly check texts, emails, reddit in the phone. Suggestions? I looked at fit bit and saw the charge 3 was released a year ago. So a refresh might be coming?
  18. The Xiaomi Mi 9T looks interesting as I can get it from bh photo and use 5% back via PayPal with discover card. I've been on oneplus since the op1. I really liked the vanilla look. The lack of an app drawer seems to be my biggest gripe. It I throw nova launcher and such at it... Should be vanilla looking without needing to root?
  19. So my OP3T battery is finally degrading to the point I want to upgrade. I look around for $400-500 mid-range phones and the only one I see is the Pixel 3a XL. The only thing I don't like is the fingerprint on the back I need a headphone jack and a large battery and large screen. I'd rather have the fingerprint on the front. Am I overlooking any phones?
  20. yeah. considering 970 ~=~ 1060 and dell only sells rtx 2080. just looking for ideas other than building up microsoft credit
  21. Amex Business Platinum owners now get $100 credit for Dell 2x a year. https://www.doctorofcredit.com/american-express-business-platinum-200-dell-annual-benefit-live-for-existing-cardmembers-100-twice-per-year/ Not sure how many people are both LTT viewers and owning Amex Biz Plats. I know I need to figure out what I am doing with my credit
  22. So one of my credit cards (Amex Biz plat) is giving me $100 dell credit that is good till June, another in July-Dec, and another in Jan. Trying debating what I should get. Dell Price matches most places. I can buy an Xbox GC and apply that to my Microsoft account (stack the credit up that way). Dell GC don't trigger the credit current specs Ryzen 1700 16gb ram 500gb SSD (barely half full) gtx 970 dual ASUS VE278H I don't use any console stuff My main games are MTG arena, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm and some older stuff (SW empire at war, early 2000s stuff)
  23. So what is the cheapest way to mirror composite video from an old console to HD tv's
