Apple is a for-profit corporation, who struck a deal with another for-profit corporation, Amazon. Why is this Apples fault and not Amazon? Amazon is the one who decided to screw over their resellers and accept the terms of the deal. Obviously Amazon felt they could make more money selling Apple...

Haha, nice! I haven't ran anything AMD in years. I do miss those old hardware modding days. I remember soldering those SMD resistors on the original Athlon to go from 500mhz up to 800mhz. Like this: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclocking-amd,126.html Had to go to a local metal...

Massive difference between being available, in some way, with different apps and installs; and having it all simply work out of the box with little mgmt and setup from me.

For a family, it’s tough to beat what Apple is offering. We have 2 boys, age 13 and 11. They get our hand-me-downs and can’t wait to get them. We all have Windows 10 desktops for gaming and work, but all tablets, laptops, and phones are Apple. Want a ton of smart devices and lights in your...

Pretty interesting that you have the foresight to know that public blockchains and decentralized applications will never ever add anything to society. It's crazy people are throwing this amount of money and building businesses around something with 0 value right? You sound like a socialist...

My analogy was not apples to oranges, Graphics cards are as necessary to human survival as are clothespins. But you think your analogy is better lol? Really? Comparing price gouging during natural disasters for essential survival items to the prices of luxury GPUs used to play games, and run...

Analogy is perfect. My point is lots of items are used for more than one thing. Video Cards are now one of those items. As pointed out by others, it's not even just crypto that is stealing "your" GPUs. Eventually supply will increase to satisfy all of the various demands for these GPUs.

I used to tow a travel trailer but we sold it and got a boat. Now the boat is usually on the lift in the canal behind the house so no longer have to tow it to the ramp. It's still good for gettin in the mud though. :D The raptor has a lower towing capacity and I like to tow my boat down to...

I bought mine in 2016, maxed out F-150 Lariat 4x4 Ecobeast. Sticker was 61K USD, bought for 53K, then added another 7K for lift and wheels and tires and other upgades. I'm sure they are even more expensive now.

I simply disagree with this statement. No one is damaged, you can buy cards right now at Amazon, you just have to pay a little more than you did before as prices have gone up. If less PCs are sold, due to the overall cost of the PC being higher, well then manufacturers should work to create...

Turning natural resources into a product to make money is wrong? Where do the raw materials for any product come from? Sure you can form an OPINION that too much electricity is being used, but you can’t state it as fact. It seems though that you somehow feel creating digital goods for sale to...

This is an interesting concept. They don't Fix the price but they Set the price point. Hmm. Having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around it though. So what happens if the manufacturer "SETs" the price point of widgets, and retail wants to move it lower to sell more widgets as they feel...

While I understand the point you are making, nothing with having higher prices on video cards is preventing someone from gaming. It just means their new equipment costs more than it did previously. I can go on Amazon right now and buy a 1070ti for $1,000. I'm not prevented from gaming. Sure I...

I didn't realize that the word Suggested in MSRP meant Mandatory. Thanks for setting me straight.

How is it having a negative effect on the gaming community? Can gamers no longer have fun gaming? Or do they just not like that cards cost more now? Personally I don't like that my truck cost $60K either. I used to be able to buy them for much less. The pickup truck driving community is hurting.

I guess you are right, clearly I am misunderstanding so please set me straight. What is wrong with buying something to resell at a higher price? Don't all businesses do this? These rules you guys make up regarding what a price SHOULD be are just nuts. The price will be what the seller can sell...

The CEO being an ass is a separate issue in my opinion. If you don't want to be a customer due to that, by all means, avoid them. But the initial argument about them being shitty due to making a mining rig is ludicrous. All products in this world are subject to the laws of supply and demand...

This is a foolish argument. Cards are used by more than just gamers now, get over it. In other news, people also use buy clothespins for bags of chips. Oh the horror. Don't blame the people selling or buying cards, blame the manufacturers for not making enough to satisfy all of the demand.

To me it's a great deal. I already have Office 365 E3 through work but I buy Office 365 Home for $99 a year anyway. Me, the wife, and each of my 2 boys then get 1TB of personal OneDrive storage and that still leaves an extra account. That alone is worth the $99. Then they can also install...

It's pretty badass. I grabbed it right away as I expected it to fall. Just bought an Xbox One Wireless Adapter for my PC for it. It's only a 73MB zip file. I check my PMs, just sayin.

Feel free to hate Apple, but I can also say that if Google was suddenly in charge, rest assured they don't want you to have choices either. They want you just as locked down with your $$$ flowing to them as Apple.

He dies at 3:10:41. Live lost. He's a noob.

Omg thank you for informing me that the Slysoft team is back! Awesomeness!

As far as I know MP4 doesn't support DTS-HD which I always use in my MKV files for my favorite films. Is that not true anymore? For regular films I go for DTS, but for the ones I really like, DTS-HD.

Only Roku users who are too ignorant to run a Plex server. I have 4 Rokus and 4 iPads and 99% of my content is mkv.

mkv all the way.

Can you PM me an open source alternative to block Cinavia detection like AnyDVD HD did?

7.6.9.0 Final is out there.

This sucks. Yeah you can still use MakeMKV for 2D blurays, but for frame packed 3D isos, you still needed AnyDVD to get around Cinavia. Sad day.

It's highly competitive and regimented.

They have dedicated scramblers. For each round the scramble is predetermined for all. The scramblers then have to scamble each cube the same way. Yes there is some variance due to some scrambles inherently being easier to solve but they are all done the same way. Everyone gets 10 seconds to...

WHATOROOO is actually "What are those"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJUowhHlA8I My kids say this all the time. But yes, fairly geeky. I've been to one with my kid. He is nowhere near this time though, like 35 seconds.

Wow these are bad, as in effing awful bad.

I've been meaning to give the Sophos firewall a whirl. Fast and with UTM and free. https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-utm-home-edition.aspx

These look really cool. My 9 yo Minecraft addicted son has recently become interested in coding and joined a club at school for learning Java. One of these will be under the tree for him this year. He'll think it's awesome.

I am aware of how many customers they have, but they used to have great customer service (Bezos is known for this) and really wanted to make you happy. Seems now they don't anymore. I realize I don't matter and they don't care, but I will go out of my way to shop elsewhere after this. All they...

It's more for my kids than me but way to miss the point! It is irrelevant who's fault it is when Amazon is the one who guaranteed it. I'm not sure why this is so difficult to understand. If you bought something from me, and you made plans around the day I GUARANTEED you would have it, then I...

Nope. I'm in FL. Package is just lost. Amazon says they gave to UPS, UPS says they never received it. Amazon could have at least flipped a free game or something to make up for their lack of follow through on their Guarantee. I understand shit happens, but they guaranteed it, and literally...

Yes they should when they guarantee something and don't follow through.

First impression? First impression is Amazon sucks. Last time I ever preorder anything through them. Launch day delivery guarantee? Right. Mine is just MIA, Amazon says they shipped, UPS says Amazon never gave them a package. Amazon tells me it's lost and I may see it sometime next week and...
