My grandparents just got internet at their house, in city.
My immediate thought was "Holy shit this is perfect for the farm! (they have one on south shore and it's kinda far from infrastructure)

But I doubt I can make an actual excuse to get Starlink hardware lol

Also, 800$ for hardware is nothing compared to having a line routed to your far out house.
An uncle of mine had Videotron run basic cable internet to his house and it cost him 35 000$ for the installation.

20ms to 40ms

For that latency and upfront cost for satellite internet, I’d rather go with 4G LTE home internet that uses low band spectrum for wider coverage for rural areas and mid band spectrum for more bandwidth rich activities. I’m not sure if it’s offered in Canada but in the US, T-Mobile and Verizon offers them. 

I'm curious to see what the pricing is going to be like. This might make a good upgrade to replace my GT 710. But yeah, that's a stupid headline. 

Videocardz: you won't BELIEVE what was HELD to make THIS

Slap 8gb of vram onto it and make the RAM fast so it'll be great for eth mining

Miners will flock to those cards and leave higher end cards for the rest of us

@TVwazhereIf you had to pick between this and the open-bench case in your notifs feed, which would you prefer? Why/why not?

Forming opinion, please wait

@TopHatProductions115there's a lot of context to this answer, and the answer changed depending on time and location but:

Right now I'd have to take the Masterframe 700 simply because it's at least a case I can put together and it's complete. No it's not great for dust, no it's not great for protecting your components from outside elements and factors, both of which the invisible (desk) pc offer, however at this stage I currently have A, nowhere to put a desk PC, B the time and effort required to put into it because it's entirely custom is a huge downside to that approach and C, I'm not a "super minimalist" kind of person so having something so thin for the sake of aesthetics but at a potential cost to cooling or ease of maintenance doesnt vibe with me. 

However, within the next year I will likely move, and as such would build a new pc. And in that time, I'd likely lean towards something custom over something open air, as it's more than jsut a show piece, it can be used and maintained (cleaned) easier and less frequently than an open air system. 

I'd still just go with a Meshify 2 in reality though. I'm not ready to take the plunge into desk or Show case PC cases

@givingtnt

I'm lucky and didn't need CERB, but if I would, I would've had said TFSA in case of emergency, I wouldn't have invested it! lol

@HairlessMonkeyBoy

Yeah, "Tax-Free-Savings-Account" is genius, doubled my stock portion in 2 years, thankfully it's only a small portion of my TFSA, because when you go over the limit, you need to pay fines to the federal government. Had that happened with my wife's account on the first year she was eligible, the bank made a mistake in the amounts she could put in initially and we went over by a few hundreds. They didn't pay the fine or gave us a refund, but they did credited my wife's bank plan, so she didn't have to pay for a few months, so there's that!

I'm happy I got it because straight out of college there were essentially no jobs lol.
First real reply was in October-ish. But I still don't know if I can spend any of it so I didn't.

I'm waiting on tax returns to do anything to see if the feds want it back or not.

This is also good advice for when ordering pizza.

It's been super weird with no audience to bounce the jokes off of.

Almost wish it had a laugh track. But yes to everything you said.

That's my experience using YouTube without an Ad Blocker, the difference being that the voices talking are saying way less interesting things in way less soothing voices.

yeah I was wondering WTF it was myself, didn't realize it was even an ad until I went reading the comments because I was curious! lol 

i read the comments and still couldn't figure out as no one mentioned what it was, it was all memes.

He posted it hours ago, I saw the video within minutes of it being up, and there were a few comments mentioning it was an ad from match

So, it's "meh" because unless you can get it as MSRP, you're better off with a 3070.

Still pretty impressive to see the 3060ti is pretty much on par with a 2080 Super !!!!

If you can get it at $400, then yeah, it's a great buy IMO.

Yay another Card to get Scalped to death

Watcha getting  ?

@soldier_ph didn't have time to go and pick it up ... and online it says my order is still not ready to pickup, so nothing I guess

Stopped by yesterday evening, they're out of stock and the inventory shown on the website is inaccurate. So it's back ordered, I'm still getting the sale price at least. Will post in the recent purchase threads when I get it !

This explains everything... They were too foxused on the anime that they couldn't get any work done on the game!

Fun fact: The THX "Deep Note" isn't atually that low/deep, it just has a lot of layered synthesised effects which give it a spacious, "deep" sound, but it isn't really low/challenging for any subwoofer.

just a tip, if anyone is using realtek, do yourself a favor and select this, you'll thank me later 



 

@Rohith_Kumar_Sp *correction* If anybody has a decent audio setup, turn everything to flat and all surround/enhancement shit off.

It's the most popular budget case right now!

Shipping is a pain.

Mindfactory takes $10. Which is a complete disaster if you think about buying a $20 product like a SD-card, small SATA SSD or some fans.

On the other hand where I bought the SSD today is the opposite. Yes they use Hermes as this was there own company but they give you 15€ newsletter discount (just 30€ or more purchase required) + some months "prime"/free shipping and from there on it is either 10€ per year or 6€ per order at the moment.

For the $50 shipping I guess they ship it from newegg USA to canada.

Actually, that would make sense, I know Newegg sometimes do ship stuff from the US.

It's actually not that bad considering it's coming from the US. But, it's definitely a reason why I don't buy from NewEgg.

I would DIE for fiber in my house. In out apartment complex there actually is fiber, but it is not the current GPON standard because I am certain that it was put in earlier than the GPON was actually rolled out and it is only available for the addiction therapists offices exactly one floor beneath us.

Although I'd love to ask my dear provider if they could make it happen. Because, given the fact that the outdoor box that handles it already has fiber ports and the piping is already in the ground, it shouldn't be hard to open the box outdoors and blow a cable through that really wide piping and get it up to our apartment.

@Benji

What they have in my neighborhood is FTTN, so it's ADSL to the Fiber node, and from there it's fiber, but it looks like there's need for infrastructure upgrade in my area since it can take 10-15 minutes for the VDSL modem to communicate with the servers to initiate a connection (and I recently started having lots of random drops). My last place was also FTTN, but the Fiber node was right in front of my place and it would take 1-2 minutes MAX to connect (it was usually seconds, but could take longer on a modem restart).

have someone ship one across the border with a model train trailer park boys style.

I have a 604 on my desk right now. Great multitasking, mmo, moba, and fps mouse.
