Wouldn't that depend on the browser he was using?

I can't even figure out how you would pronounce that Arrow - mine - um ? Arrow - min - um ? doesn't exactly sound right A - row - me - num ? Not sure you can stretch Arrow to A-row, but maybe this is it? Arrow - mini - um would have at least sounded like a metal

I'm pretty sure they just made that word up. Weren't Surface laptops a Magnesium alloy for a bit when they first came out?

six of these bad boys and a willingness to mcguyver the wiring harness https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QVXXGVR/?tag=thefpsreview-20 there is a hall effect version as well if you are worried about the shunt resistor, but it won't be nearly as accurate...

I peaked at it, saw the reviews, and slowly backed away. Looks like it ~could~ be promising but not sure it's promising enough for me to want to light up what amounts to a subscription fee for a single player game.

That is fair

I don’t think it works that way with amps Voltage pushes. Amps pull.

I don't think an adapter can fix a current imbalance issue. You can make an adapter that normalizes the current coming from the PSU... but the card itself is still gonna pull unbalanced across the pins: and that's where all the failures seem to be happening. To fix the imbalance on the pins...

Funny if it does - that would be an easy thing to fix on the card

Nope. As long as the bubble is inflating it just means they will put out more racks

Me too. Digital has its own set of issues, and I do miss physical media being available — but by and large I also prefer digital distribution. Cloud computing should be the next logical extension of that - but it’s been well covered here; the shortfalls are too steep with current technology

You and I do.. but a lot of people any more don't have any use for a desktop at all... Hence the market for Chromebooks and such. Which are pretty much cloud-based platforms like you describe.

Chromebooks and smart phones have been around for a good while now

Not opposed to it honestly. Some of Intels best stuff came from Israel. After all, they have all that experience from years of running all the call centers! (Sorry couldn’t keep that one to myself)

You aren't wrong. But it sends a pretty strong message when you are sunsetting a product that's only a couple of years old. "What's next on the chopping block" is what I'm hearing.
