    No thread about the framework laptop?

    That's awesome but I don't have the 16. I'd love a version of that just for the modules. 4 or 6 if you have the cycles to do it.

    DEAD - WD Black SN850X 4TB - $237 for Prime Members - delivery 4/3-4/5

    I have a 990 so this isn't a dig at Samsung. But aren't they very similar in performance? If someone asked me I would just tell them to get whichever is cheaper.

    Power outage monitor that works? Known reliable from personal experience?

    The GFCI that feeds my deep freezer likes to trip. I'd like to set up a monitor that texts me when it happens. I see tons of them on Amazon, but does anyone have personal experience with one that they know to be reliable? If so let me know, thanks.

    I just got the new Artic Freezer 36 for the intro price for my 7800x3D. It came at $30.83 shipped on Amazon. For that price? It's awesome.

    X3d vs extreme single core speeds?

    Yep, that's why I chose it. These days my rig is 95% games, occationally I'll virtualize something to play with. But that's it.

    X3d vs extreme single core speeds?

    Hardware unboxed just released a video comparing the 14900ks vs the 7800x3d in games. All the reviews, not just theirs, *IF* we're talking about gaming, if we want to be really conservative they trade blows. However the 7800x3d does it at half the cost, and half the power consumption. I'm not...

    No thread about the framework laptop?

    Been a few months now with the Framework 13 Ryzen version. I honestly couldn't be happier. Fit and finish is top notch. It does everything I need it to outside of gaming. But I have a dedicated rig for that. This is the ideal laptop for someone who wants a portable high quality PC laptop...

    Intel Core i9-14900KS

    Oh I remember waiting for AMD's first dual core to drop from 1000 to 600 bucks and then I picked it up. But, lets be real, we're now on the fourth version of the 13900k.

    Every GPU I owned since 2007 (Fun Topic)

    I'm with Dan_D I've had Video cards back to generic Cirrus Logic VGA adapters on my first custom 386. My 286 was a prebuilt, who knows what was in that thing. I will say this I just got in my 7900XTX for my new build! :D

    good cheap laser printer? with cheap toner?

    I've had a Samsung B&W network laser for years, if it's not a decade it's close. Very few issues. Do these brother printers have a universal driver the way HPs and Samsungs do? I don't want to install a bloated software suite on all the machines in my house.

    Samsung 990 Pro or WD Black SN 850x?

    I've had a "Pioneer" Phison based Gen3 drive for over two years now in my main rig, no issues. I've also had a Samsung 980 (non Pro) in my Framework 13 11th gen intel for two years now, also no issues. When I was pricing my 7800x3d at Microcenter, 990 Pros were $10 bucks off if bundled with a...

    Samsung 990 Pro or WD Black SN 850x?

    I too had just asked myself this question. I was leaning WD, but Phison based drives are right up there. So I think I'm going to go Inland (Microcenter) Perf Plus. It's their top of the line Gen 4 drive w/ DRAM. Within 10% of 850 and 990 Pro and cheaper.

    they tried... Microsoft to end its Android apps on Windows 11

    I never tried this as anytime I needed to run android apps on the computer I used BlueStacks. I rarely need to, but when i did, it served its purpose.

    Microsoft set to announce DirectX DirectSR (Super Resolution) at GDC 2024

    Anytime the entire industry can benefit we all win. If this borrows from FSR I'm okay with that. Developers will always have the option to implement either. The older I get the more opensource stuff I want to embrace.

    Old UPS batteries (APC SUA 1500)... where do you source them?

    If it's under warranty or a return period take it back. If it isn't, rebuild the battery pack with new 12v cells from Ebay or Amazon. I've been doing that for over a decade, no issues.

    How long should a platform last?

    It needs to be a balancing act. For example I love how long AM4 has lasted, but it's also annoying that they have to drop support for older CPUs to support the newer ones. So at some point you have to choose between security and bug fixes for older chips, or support for newer chips at all.

    WTF MS?

    Incorrect... The comparison was from the physical placement on my head which I despise. Wasn't a comparison of the technology between 3D and VR.

    That sounds terrible.

    WTF MS?

    Situational awareness keeps you alive. I've been in many situations in my life, uniforms in my life, that has taught me to look around and be ready. Not to necessarily always think someone else is going to be there to assist. Stay alert, stay alive.

    WTF MS?

    Played at friends' places a few times on PC. Just doesn't do it for me. I believe it was Oculus.

    WTF MS?

    Oh I have, but it wasn't enough to sway me. I'm very ok with sitting a few feet from a monitor.

    WTF MS?

    I don't want anything on my eyes or head. I dislike wearing hats even. Then again, I also sit in the back of restaurants with my body facing the exit so I can be prepared if anything happens. I don't like being isolated from reality.

    Sound card vs. USB DAC

    I only use headphones, decent ones, but just head phones. My 5500s have been idle so long it's a tragedy to be honest. Also, all new OSes don't support external multi channel manipulations like cmss-3d anymore. I know you can do alchemy and other work arounds but I got kids. I need to jump...
