I was reading the code of Hammurabi yesterday. I think one of the first laws says that if a man accuses another man, the accused must jump into the river and if he drowns the accuser gets all of the accused's property and if he survives the accuser is killed and the accused gets all of his...

I miss the days when Samsung would give you their phones for free if you would let them track you. RIP Samsung Insights.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't recommend that anyone do so. There are as many youtube videos as you could possibly want covering parts from these sites. Generally it goes like this: price is too good to be true but you order anyway, something does ship, it takes a while to get to you, you get what...

Ah, I thought my Verizon plan had normal speeds up to 20gbps of hotspot. It actually has no data cap but is limited to 600kbps for mobile hotspot. Blergh.

That setting was on but turning it off did not change speeds. My tablets are also slow when connected to my phone's hotspot.

So here in Oregon we have gotten like an inch of freezing rain over the last 24 hours. Comcast went out last night. I have a Samsung S20 FE and Verizon unlimited something or other. Anyway, I get like 130mbps down on my phone with 4G, but turning on mobile hotspot my laptop only gets like...

That's pretty much my use case. Relax in bed for an hour before sleeping with some SNES Yoshi's Island or some Stardew Valley. My deck gets more usage than the system in my signature.

Overall it's still kind of odd. I mean, it makes sense that they are making it out of recycled 5800x3d chips. It makes sense that there isn't enough inventory so they are going through a single retailer. Where it gets odd is that it really only makes sense as a drop in upgrade if you are already...

So I picked up my 4090 FE last night. It comes with a 4x8pin pci-e adapter. In time I plan to rebuild the rest of my system and I'll probably get a new power supply then, but for now my 1,000W gold whatever will work I think. Anyway, I dug out my box of modular cables. My PSU has 4x 8pin pci-e...

I like their stuff generally, but but their 4090 FE block has the ports at the back of the card which would make my loop path weird.

I've bought a lot if xspc but it looks like their most recent gpu block was for the 2080 ti unless I'm missing something.

I've been using mine a ton. If it hadn't been for Diablo coming out my deck usage would easily outweigh my desktop usage. It took me a bit to figure out how to get the first Arkham Asylum game running but I had a blast playing through that again but on handheld. It's really just an hour before...

So I just decided to celebrate a recent promotion (though they haven't actually told me what my raise will be yet) by ordering a 4090 FE. Anyway, I plan to water cool it since I already have a custom loop set up. I've been looking at blocks and the usual suspects are all there, EK, heatkiller...

So, having not bought a GPU from retail since like a HD 4890 (every since then has been used), is there a way to get a notification when best buy has the 4090 founders edition in stock?

New code requires use of Zip which I believe is a 3rd party payment system.
