    Frustrated Father Accidentally Takes Down Town's Internet

    Hoping he gets serious trouble from this. That same time of jamming signals could have caused someone to die that needed emergency help. Ignorance is no excuse nor are good intentions. Obviously researched enough to find a jammer to buy and too stupid to find a better solution.

    Bill Gates predicts our work meetings will move to metaverse in 2-3 years

    The biggest gripe I have had from coworkers and friends is WFH is better in everyway except they get more work done. Also can't forget about banging the secretaries as that would surely be less fun in the metaverse. I think the future is flex for positions that have on site responsibilities and...

    Recommend: monitor for home office and photo edits

    If going ultrawide 38" 3840x1600 minimum. Every single 34 and 35" 3440x1440 I have regretted as its only 3 windows comfortably.

    Apple announces Self Service Repair

    I love the idea of right to repair but reality is far too few people can do it right. The other issue is unlike the 1950s people try to sue when they mess up the device further. It is also just another massive cost to maintain public service info and parts. Yes they will have this internally but...

    [GOG] Corridor 7: Alien Invasion (free till ?)

    I remember buying this game in the 90s for like 10 dollars and it sucked then. Still some neat nostalgia since it uses the wolf3d engine if I remember right.

    HOT: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G $304 new @ Newegg's Ebay store

    Damn these are finally hitting reasonable prices. When I wanted one of these they were brand new and after the headache of buying a full HP system it was just easier to grab a 5950x and use an old DGPU.

    The Thing - Infection at Outpost 31 | Board game | $60 pre-order

    That game had quite good graphics and game play for the time. I honestly considered it on par with the resident evils and silent hills of the time.

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, PS5, XBOX

    Same place I finally got my 5950x. It was part gambling and being told I couldn't have it. Now that I have the system built though the speed of that thing when doing gradle builds for android made me not have buyers remorse. Way over kill for gaming though lol.

    The Great RTX 3080ti / 3070ti Scalper Event starts June 3rd

    The consoles are suffering the same fate as the cpus/gpus. I haven't been able to buy a ps5 or xbox series x since they released.

    M1 successor should be coming this summer

    I am a windows user first for casual use and linux heavy for developer work. I have always hated apple products but I picked up a m1 mac mini. Even with my bias towards hating apple they did quite a good job with it. x86 games on the other hand are a train wreck for it because rosetta 2 doesn't...

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, PS5, XBOX

    Well antonline through ebay did actually come through and now I have a 5950x in hand for $879. So over retail but not feeling hurt over that small of a markup compared to the prices I was looking at previously.

    Building shelves

    I see someone has been in this scenario before:

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, PS5, XBOX

    I saw that earlier and ordered one. I hope it shows up as its only a tiny bit above MSRP and seems like supply isn't getting any better.

    Why did SLI and CrossFire die off?

    I had crossfire rx480s for a while and in the games it worked well in it was awesome as at the time the rendering power was unmatched. Some games on the other hand hardly got a boost even when it worked, while others flatout were broken or had micro stuttering. So besides extra power draw and...
