I liked it better when I thought it was a porn game titled Ape X One

I could understand it if Microsoft handed out Windows for free... But they don't. You pay for it somehow.

Exactly what I was thinking

Can't you already do that with pretty much every modular PSU out there?

Everyone standing around in Barrens singing “the internet is for porn” and shouting •leeeerooooooy jennnnkins”

Thank you for the summary. Nice to see I didn't screw everything up on fans all these years - I've always kinda done the Goldilocks thing. Wonder how this compares to the positive case pressure crowd, since it seems to pretty much say don't do that.

I have, years and years ago. I broke many Durons figuring it out. I still have it somewhere, but can't find it at the moment. It looks horrendous and frankestein, but it worked. Getting the mounting down is the hardest part. Everything else is just plumbing.

It looks neat, but not really sure what the benefit is here, since the cables are already modular. Seems like just one more connection point that could break that doesn't really add any value to anything. I see this kind of connection on industrial PC/PLCs all the time - but those are terminal...

I really think the moral of this story is to have your CPU fan pointing at an exhaust

I mean, I've never ever heard of hardware having an issue...

Meh - I’m over it. Yeah sucks to see it go, and yeah - you don’t own anything. But last time I bought a physical game was about 10 years ago, and they shut the servers down 5 years ago anyway - so not like owning the physical disc did me a lot of good there anyway.

I find myself getting bored with most games in general, to be honest. The few that do seem to keep my attention lately are usually not the flashy, popular AAA games any longer. Given the current state of gaming PCs.. honestly, if/when my current computer craps out, I dunno that I'll build...

There is a lot to be said for a machine that comes pre-assembled, with pre-installed OS, updates that are custom made just for the hardware (that don't require a lot of effort to install), and no struggling with drivers or software compatibility. I mean.. it's a console in every sense of the...

I wonder if the AI overlords have considered if they continue to consume all the computer parts, eventually, who will be left over to consume their product?

I honestly have no idea what the value of a machine like this is in today's market. Everything has changed so much since mining bubble, then Covid, and continues to change with AI. Off the cuff, i can say - that's a lot of cash for a glorified Steam console. I was interested, but not at this...

I will admit that a decent sound bar does sound pretty good out of the box. But nothing beats a well-tuned "classic" home theater system though. It takes a bit of effort, but you can get great sound of it with decent components (don't confuse quality with cost, which is very easy to do in the...

EGS is ... pretty bad. Loads slow. Doesn't add any benefit, other than occasionally throwing a free game your way. Transactions occur slow. Nothing really great on there in the first place. I don't really know why I even have it installed, other than occasionally checking to see what free crap...

The lack of diversity. Definitely shows.

That is exactly when and why I stopped looking at anything from Creative Labs

Before Starlink a couple of years ago — either it would take a weekend+ of steady download time (with no other internet traffic), or I would just drive down to my office (55 miles) and leech company wifi - which is only 100Mb and would still take an hour or two, so I would just set up the laptop...
