  1. yes Taller= longer arms = comfortable typing position is further away. Plus I used to have an 18.4 inch goliath of a laptop and it's by far one of my favorites I've ever owned Saying a product category that doesn't match your subjective desires (but is liked by others) is stupid and selfish
  2. I can deal with black bars on the top and bottom way more than on the sides for some reason
  3. Yah I pretty much want it for all workstation stuff. Gaming I don't care, but other stuff I really miss it, it's hard to even get good productivity monitors that are 16:10 these days.
  4. 8:5 is a reduced fraction. It's been referred to as 16:10 for many years for a reason- it's 16:9 but taller and it's more of a variation on that- like if it was made in a void it would be 8:5. 2:1 is not 18:9 btw. 21:9 is the only aspect ratio that's a lie, all other ones I know of are near perfect ratio to resolution matches.
  5. why? Think of it like 16:9 but with room for a start bar and a window title bar. 16:9 shit is fullsceen in windowed mode. It's great and the only reason I moved from 16:10 is it's just hard to find. One of my all time favorite screens is the old 30 inch apple cinema display that's 2560x1600
  6. idk. Somewhere technology related with a decent amount of traffic and a place that loves circle jerking about PR disasters. PCMR could be one, idk.
  7. Wallstreetbets summarized the current market conditions quite well earlier this week
  8. this is the kinda thing you post to the right subreddit. Shaming corporations on social media is the only way to get them to right their wrongs these days.

  11. I have 3 "power man" psu (fsp unit) and an apevia atx-wa1100W left. I have to use one of them until I order a couple new psus ina  week or two, at this point I think I'm just choosing what scent the burning will be 

    I have a few server psus that would work with some adapters, and I have some likely, but some of them are the low quality adapters I know tend to catch fire (look at shorting sata adapters, same concept) 

    edit

    NEVERMIND it's an INTEL case and ATX unit, which OF COURSE means the bracket doesn't line up with actual atx screw holes. IT's off my about a mm

    I'm not even sure if I should drill press the pins out and flip the psu and make new holes or just like buy a new case. It's heavy ass solid case with a lot of drive sleds, but it also sucks for air flow. I already have to buy a new psu so idk. 

     

    thing is, the psu that came in here (this is an ssi case) is NOT ssi and does not fit in the clamp, it's atx, but maybe with ssi holes? 

    edit 2

    Shims lol
    Not as much of a fire hazard as it looks. 

    So I'm probably just gonna use the included psu, I need to order a good 24 pin extender and a sata chain that's actually high quality. Then I probably need an eps extension, it's like 4 inches.

  13. they only stopped that one time, earlier they didn't. Fuck china. Below a read if you didn't already. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/tiananmen-square-massacre-death-toll-secret-cable-british-ambassador-1989-alan-donald-a8126461.html
  14. I have a haf 912 and I hate the space it takes up on a shelf. Just moved my server into an antec 300 for kicks, found an original one still for sale new.
  15. since when has google/youtube gone back because of A/B testing? I always use fresh sessions so I pretty much see the changes they are testing months or more before its rolled out to everyone, and I've not seen a single time I can remember that they didn't stick with it based on user feedback.
  16. yes, they roll these out in groups, like they do with youtube updates. It's a combination of A/B testing and making sure complaints are not all at once/not related to, though mostly the later because once they start rolling out they rarely change it. If you'd like to see it, I'd try a few new fresh sessions until you get it in private browsing.
  17. at least until now when I clicked on something the "prevew" actually made it bigger!
  18. Take away the view image button for legal reasons, sure. This shit- no excuse. Image preview in a phone sized pane on the right side of the screen. The right side! I read from left to right. Who fucking thought this was a good idea? This small, stupid preview is the most infuriating piece of shit, and I have no reason to use google image search now unless I can find a good css overlay, because I'm sure as hell not spending the time to make one myself. Whoever made this should be hanged. Opinions?

  20. no like other people's items. I don't even have to look them up to price compare, as soon as I make a listing I get ads for other people selling the same shit.
  21. ebay has been giving me ads, in the form of notifications even though they are turned off... ..for stuff I sold.
