Yeah our podunk local telecom has been doing something in the neighborhood all summer long. I’m hoping it’s fiber but I’m not holding my breath.

On my list, along with Dawn of War 4 I thought Inquisitor was a lot of fun -- a bit repetitive for the end game, but I think that for a lot of games and I had fun for many different playthroughs. Every now and then I see Space Marine 2 on sale, just haven't pulled the trigger yet

How do we not know this? MSSQL has been out for ages, and it's one of the most well documented servers out there. The fact that the server can use parallelism is a totally different question than if a particular query can use it though...

Mine got pretty slow for a while - during prime time especially. Like the old days in the late '90s/early 00's on cable modem where everything just kinda stopped when all the kids got home from school. It's been better more recently. Still on my Gen 1 dish for the house. I got a Mobile dish and...

Hacker classifies Corn as a weed - entire world starves

My LG hits 10 yrs soon - still rocking that old school OLED Won’t lie - son left the PlayStation on overnight at the login so there is some burn in a few years back, but it’s only noticeable under specific conditions, so … still watching Netflix with it. One of these years I’ll finally put it...

Kind of makes me wonder Yeah, AMD rolled the dice with chipsets and won. But that by itself isn’t want put AMD where they are now. It ultimately took Intel getting stuck and making several missteps for AMD to really start gaining traction. If Intel had continued with their trajectory from the...

I agree with you. Most of the games I play are older and don’t support any of this anyway I won’t deny frame generation can give you better frame rates - but I don’t use it when it’s an option as the tradeoff in image quality (typically in the guise of random weird glitches or smearing) usually...

Some people like their forums fat and wide. I'm not judging.

Oh yeah, frame cap is the first setting I enable.

I used to do SETI and Boinc years ago - but life in California I no longer can really afford the power to really be able to contribute much any more Electricity here has just got out of hand

That makes perfect sense Which is exactly why it will never happen

You could just ping and send the output to a text file. Ping defaults to once per second - choose a good reliable target (like Google or YouTube, or better yet - direct to their IP to bypass the DNS resolution). Then you will have timestamps that show time and duration for the blips Still will...

My ride keeps swallowing cash at rates that make my computer look like a actual hobby :/

My starlink drops constantly. I mean - it’s kinda expected so I don’t really complain. But unless the outage is on the national news the Starlink app always shows 99.98% uptime with super low average latency that I never see in actual use and no outages reported

Oh man this was decades ago, on AMD celerons. It was basically a brass hex fitting (the flats were big enough to fit on the die) with 1/4” nipples coming out the side, with something Jerry rigged to strap it to the board I probably broke 3 CPUs getting it to work, but once I did it cooled like...

Admittedly, me as well. I did have a very early setup that was mostly copper, but as I was still learning to braze and it was a “sourced from Home Depot” setup, it wasn’t anything to brag about other than it worked. Even built my own water blocks - and broke my share of hardware figuring it out...

I did the same - I don’t exactly regret it, as it’s still in use today. But .. I kinda do

No I kinda get it - would be nice to have something reversible so I could put the computer on the ~other~ side of my desk without having the buttons or the glass face the wall. In the old beige cases it didn't matter because both sides were.. beige. Not really to do with handedness, just how...
