    And there's the real reason.

    funkmon got a reaction from Ithanul in What song are you listening to right now.   
    So I was actually listening to the song on the record, but when I noticed that everyone was posting music videos, I went to see if I could find footage of Paul McCartney playing the song. What I actually found was a music video shot on what appears to be 35mm film and scanned in perfect 1080p high definition. It looks like it was shot yesterday. I urge you to watch it, because unlike most English productions of the time, it was not shot on 16mm, which is very clearly a low quality option, but, like, movie film. It's great.

    Is it completely random, or can you repeat it? Are there any trends?

    I believe it. :P. I just like the old fogey versus hipster dynamic between guys like me who prefer a 122 key board versus guys like you who use 11 keys and mind control.

    funkmon got a reaction from MrBrightSyde in Need help choosing a graphics card   
    It looks like a future proofing type of system. That is building now so it'll be better in the future for future upgrades. Like, for example, nothing needs the capabilities of an X570 right now, and you'll do fine with a B450. You're also going to have significantly more processing power than graphics power. You could put a 2080 Ti in that thing and not bottleneck it.
     
    If your goal is to have solid gaming right now, and then upgrade it as time goes on, you have a great part list. If your goal is to just have the best possible gaming experience right now, then I'd get a significantly worse and cheaper power supply, a 3600, a B450 mobo, some slightly faster RAM, and a 2070 Super or 2060 Super.

    So I had never heard of this calculator, but I put my thing in it and it said I need 64 gigs of RAM and to upgrade an RTX 2080 Ti to 4 1080 Tis. What? Can someone explain how this thing even works?

    funkmon got a reaction from Dr0y in Brand new Model Ms, made in USA, built like trucks, $94. Best deal in keyboards. Change my mind.   
    Honestly, it's a hell of a deal when we look at all these specialty keyboards out there. You get thick metal ones, it's running you like $80 just for the case. The Model M is gigantic and heavy just like those. The switches have something very sought after by a lot of mechanical keyboard enthusiasts in that the click and the bump occur at the precise moment of actuation. The switches are, for those who like loud keyboards, the best you can buy. They're built like trucks, and they've been made in Lexington, KY for almost 30 years. I ordered mine and got it two days later. It has modernish features like USB and Windows keys. It lacks N key rollover, but I never need that anyway.
     
    The best part though, is the keyfeel and sound. It's hard to explain the keyfeel other than, like, imagine if MX blues were heavier and the bump was gigantic. The sound goes thwock thwock thwock, not click click click. It's really night and day.
     
    I have an old one sitting around which I loved, but I couldn't get over not having Windows keys and the desktop shortcuts that provided, so I moved on to some Kailh, Gateron, Outemu, Cherry, Razer, ALPS etc. switches to try and get something I liked as much as the Model M with a bleeding Windows key, but nothing sat right.
     

     
    Eventually, after watching some youtube videos, I just decided to suck it up and buy a new one from Unicomp, the current manufacturer of the keyboards. It feels and sounds basically the same as my old Model M! Perfecto. It was made less than a month ago, too. Right off the line! I love my new keyboard, and it's better than anything else I've tried, even those $250 crazy keyboards. It feels so nice. The housing is creaky, but the internals are like a yacht. Great stuff. I love that something that I thought couldn't follow me into the present, or indeed the future, is everything I needed it to be. I played Destiny 2 with it last night and had a lot of fun.

    funkmon got a reaction from TechyBen in How BAD is a BestBuy Gaming PC?   
    I would really find this useful. That's a good idea. I wasn't familiar with it. Let me ask a slightly unrelated question then. Is it likely that this standard will start to be used with the PC components we normally buy, therefore necessitating a major compatibility check between motherboard and PSU? Or will this continue to be a system integrator thing?
