-# "FlexibleFelix" isn't much better
You’re gonna FINALLY start?
hmm
now
they just removed 2K launcher
you ever play bioshock? i heard good things about it

Yes
I’ve 100% the entire series
Go go go

why is 9800x3d so snappy 
threads or something idk
cache or something
i hate this feeling
at least you can feel something
SHUT UP
HAHAHAHA
stop
lol real
I just installed the LG 34GS95QE anyone familiar with this monitor?
Personally just get the product that is available for the best value at time
For example rn amd has great offerings
So go with amd but in the future it might be intel again
Its pretty damn pointless to swear loyalty to a brand at your expense of getting value products
yeah I used to use Intel
was exploring steam sale and damn. big oof for suicide squad 
its cheaper than batman arkham knight that came out in 2015, $3.99
arkham origins is also $3.99
I wonder why it's so cheap 
id rather spend that 3.49 on coffee

thos game u play once
and never again
xD
Real
got sore muscles all over my body from work yesterday. Going to need to adjust how much I am carrying lol.
thats a sign u doing well
keep sore
ik, I just have to be careful to not hurt myself in the process
Sore muscles is good... an injury would be very not good
yeah avoid injury
embrace sore
u can print oled now
omg
play Bad Apple on an InkJet
So far things are going well with my current attempt to switch to Linux. Much much smoother than my last attempt at Linux as a desktop OS. I am literally on the brink of being able to ditch Windows as my primary OS.
I hate Wyoming, this place is horrible, no wonder no one lives here
I know someone that moved to wyoming not too long ago
Man I hate this guy
Was he always bald or just recently
I wanna say always but I thought he had hair one time lol
They moved into the void?
Yes
hes doing charity
putting stuff on his hair sometimes

to raise money for his son
I only know the place because kanye lived there
her son has this thing where he constantly hit himself
i forgot what disorder it is
xD
The youtuber pfp has it
Didn’t notice lol
I need a thunderbolt dock
I need an FV4011 Centurion Mk. 5/2 main battle tank
Armed with a 105mm Royal Ordinance L7 rifled gun with 410mm of rolled homogenous armour penetration using APDSFS ammunition.
Ill go send that to santa for you
It's complicated but basically:
- Nextcloud PC at the office with primitive redundancy
- That "redundancy" is literally just SMB the Nextcloud data volume to a PC at home (I consider home as our second headquarters, so technically I'm at work constantly lolll)
- I'd store this data on another PC that's already built (so, would need a DAS, as building a NAS is probably more expensive and would absolutely consume power given the parts I have)
- DAS would also be nice for storing movies (I plan on ripping these. Don't worry wegg, I'm not pirating)
DAS is just more ideal for me because I already have servers. They're like a plug-n-play solution compared to building a power-hungry server using parts that I already have (although would be basically the same price if not cheaper but also would take up a lot of space somewhere in my house). Plus since this is technically business related, I might be able to get my parents to buy it for me
With my FV4011 Centurion Mk. 5/2 main battle tank the only way my APDSFS ammunition can be countered is using kontakt-5 2nd generation explosive armour plating place at an exposed 30 degree angle, providing a trajectory disruption to the payload and avoiding direct penetration of a weak spot and dissipating the shell force over a thicker body of armour.
I really want to convince them to give me an "IT budget," given that I'm the only IT guy and I want to get things moving
I changed my mind I want a chatgpt description cos typing all that out was ass
Description? Subscription, gboard.
Smh
On my phone sure

💀
Did you see the new ubiquiti nas? Looks interesting as its not too expensive for a rack mount system and is very power efficient. Basically only good for storage though, no apps and I think it doesn’t have redundant psu
Tiny Llama (I think? Maybe?)
I might have seen it but forgot about it
I can't justify a NAS over $300 rn lol
Wait does that make Trump ethsma
Christmas is coming. "So put it on your Christmas list" I already have other priorities and it's already expensive 😭
How much is das enclosure?
Like $200-$250 for a good one (would include RAID, etc.)
Ahh
But would be worth it imo
WRONG TWITTER KRUNK
And then just put some phat drives in it
"They're like $200-$250" doesn't help when you need two of them and still need a generic TB4 enclosure for your Mac Mini M4 🙃
Hdds are really cheap now. Saw some 12tb drives for under 100usd in #tech-deals not too long ago
storage maxxing frfr
True but I want some good ones
Well that’s not to say they aren’t good, just a bit old and usually refurbished
And idk if it's a better idea but I also want to look into 2.5" SSDs for this purpose. I've heard it isn't ideal but SSDs are cheap, plus less moving parts, so technically more reliable for the same price, right? idk
Yeah I'm not doing refurbed
I already don't do used storage for my client-side PCs
Umm I don’t think its necessarily more reliable, but solid state has its benefits
It's not much faster either obviously. It's all going to be in RAID 0 minus like one drive that backups any dead drive
Paper is the most reliable
Redundancy is always the answer
True
Believe that's called raid 5
I usually use raid 5
I forgot which RAIDs are which lol. I graduated almost a year ago and nobody talks about RAID again (isn't the new alternative ZFS? Could be wrong idk. I haven't built a proper storage server)
5 is 1 drive parity i believe
That Notice from your ISP regarding pirating? Forgot about it! :D
Zfs is the software alternative to running raid. As opposed to hardware raid cards
Oh gotcha
Nice license lol
$72
Bro paid $72 for a copy of the Spongebob movie on paper
I paid nothing but paper and ink
My profit is 30286%
Per page
The movie is 28000 pages

Bro is storage medium maxxing fr
Our solutions for cloud storage are better than anyone elses
💀
You know the most exciting tech experience I had in the last year was learning what the hell edge computing was
Anyways, I think a DAS is right for me, given that I'm only putting this on an Ubuntu installation
Exciting as in it's funny AF that the terminology makes barely any sense until you hear it 6 times
If you tap your shin with a baseball bat is that U bunt U?
Do you know what a bunt is
Blunt
nah that sounds Australian
If only
A bunt is when they don't swing at a baseball during a pitch but block it with the bat
Anyway the more you know or whatever
I need to make a VM for this
Yeah
@somber skiff is this true
Did I do it, am I linuxing
!!!!????

Do you think when racing goes all digital that every race incident would be a :(){ :|:& }; :
Somebody is going to SSH into a car and type sudo -fr rm /* to delete the French car
That will cause a safety car to go out in recovery mode and fork bomb the somebody
Amazon is already slowing down wtf
10/10 ❤️ movie wild robot
i recommend it
its wholesome
shes reminds me of baymax xD
What's the name
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
watch it very nice
I did it. Just got a couple of 2TB drives but I'll get bigger drives later
What are you storing
1660 for 80, 1660 super for 80, or 2060 for 150 what would be better? Trying to do a cheap build for my girlfriend as we don't have much money for a new gen parts and she just wants to play some of the games I have like phas and gta 5 and I want to surprise her with it for Christmas
5700xt for 120
I'm thinking ryzen 5 5000 series as well
What would be better 5700xt for 110 or SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 6650 XT for 185?
Business-related data as well as movies. I'm gonna start ripping some movies for a proper Plex server
The 6650 is also almost 26 miles closer
Ripping DVD or blue ray? I seen a ltt video on it and have thought how nice it'd be to have them movies at times but was not sure if was super worth it along with how legal
xD
they are twins
but get the latest if u can
5700xt for 110 if the seller looks genuine and it looks fine
5700XT ≈ 6600XT
legal grey zone
format shifting media you bought is legal under the DMCA law
but also under DMCA law you're not allowed to bypass software or hardware copy protection
gonna delete that real quick
So what I'm hearing is yes you can but should you maybe not
Ok, just need to find rest of the build now
@velvet summit @rancid juniper if you think about it, some games you play in dungeons with teleport circles right
somewhat
Why don't they just not reconstruct you after you've been broken down molecularly?
Isn't that an instant win?
have you played nier automata
quick travel is just moving your data from one android body to another
and that's also how you respawn

Heroes respawn
Are they androids too
Maybe that's why they don't try with teleporters
I'm not wrong though right
They could just scatter your molecules everywhere
Paint the teleport room a faint red


i think... it just has one purpose, it probably keeps the same physical properties instead of altering anything

yea
Teleport death surely is the most painless of deaths
they can try to make a psuedo teleporter that degrades your health after each use
ya lol
It's been laced
If it were me lacing it then I'd pick laxative
thats not very nice
lol
3 table spoon of nut meg
Oh!
From reading you're aloud to have the copy but not allowed to go past the copy write software on the disk that would let you

@mortal grail 6000 28-36-36 stable at 1.4v
i found a bad thing a bout 9800x3d
takes forever to compile shaders

Star Trek intensifies
@proud jackal how's the 9800x3d treating you?
aside from the shader compilation lol
Haven't had time to do anything besides benchmarks

when you got the time just run some cpu based games
PEOPLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH, I need jet
Going to dl cs when I get home
VALO is installed

Looks great. Overwatch is dead
so im seaching for 75x75 vesa mounts
character designs are goated
cant find good ones
dude S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is so annoying with this. There's a mod to disable it but it somehow borks command console
I see that
Slavjank is real
wall mounting the monitor gives you so much more desk space. All three of my monitors are on the wall lol
one of my favorite designs: Moonknight
the gas piston ones are pretty nice. It's like the thing that does the x-rays at the dentist
also, you don't need exactly 75x75 unless the larger ones will run into stuff on the back, i.e., look for ones with multiple sizes that include 75x75
lol cover the window or blast brightness & contrast
Lone wolf mom reveal
That's my sister
during the day I set brightness to 98 & at night, 11 lol
That's max brighness
Hey I ain't a mom
like for example, this one supports 50x50, 75x75, & 100x100mm https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Free-Standing-Adjustable-Rotation-HT05B-001/dp/B07Q79ZZJ6?
Just trying to enjoy some spicy noodles
time to get an old sheet orbath towel & a couple thumb tacks lol
Probably doesn't help that all the snow outside is reflecting all the light into the house
My k drama looks ok on it now. Ur show just too dark
How is stalker 2? Yet to play it, bought it but never even installed it yet
Especially compared to the first 3 games and anomaly
Me neither thats why I wear glasses 🕶️
Ver cool. Hope he doesn’t suck
yea
It's in HDR mode too
Yikes
His show was very dark too. It's not awful when the show has some light in it
But it's also overexposed in the brighter scenes
I don’t qualify:(
Wdym u don't qualify
All u gotta do is just get an eye exam and get glasses. Most people have even the tiniest prescription
You could also get computer glasses
I haven't played any of the previous ones. It's pretty cool in a vacuum tho ig lol. Carry weight is a pain in the ass & so is trying to keep your guns/armor repaired. I got annoyed & downloaded mods to fix all that
this makes it waaay easier lol

Following the disclosure of the Intel Arc Battlemage Limited Edition series, a new leak reveals almost the entire specs of the Arc Battlemage lineup. As we exclusively reported, Intel will launch two models: Arc B580 […]
wow i thought it was going to be 8GB
I think 10gb should be the standard atp
Lol thr stalker special
10-12
oooh alec is here
I show up every few weeks lol
I think we'll have one more gen with a few 8gb cards from nvidia
show up MOAR
seems likely
Waiting for the 5060 8gb to be another 10% improvement
Maybe xx60 will finally match the 3060 ti
☠️
I'll consider it

HO HO HO! Get into the holiday spirit with "A Very 1999 Christmas", the nostalgic Christmas album from Schlatt. Hear your favorite holidy tunes with a twist that evokes the vibe ( and terror ) of the late 90's. This album is a must-have for all who celebrate Jesus' big day! Track List Santa Claus Is Coming To Town The
schaltts music career all started because of ai covers
but nowadays people don't take it that way, instead go wild and doomposting, I do think regulations needs to be placed tho.
Every good thing will be used for bad intentions (i.e DEEPFAKE)
obama, biden, and trump ai playing cod and minecraft was peak ai usage
those were funny af
hmm what did schlatt do on 9/8/2022 i wonder
thats cool
that timing was the craziest thing
O2 has created human-like Daisy, an AI ‘Granny’ to answer calls in real time from fraudsters, keeping them on the phone and away from customers for as long as possible.
With Daisy revealing how you’re not always speaking to the person you think you are, O2 is urging customers to remain vigilant, leave ‘scambaiting’ to the AI experts and report...
it's so funny
also nearly predicted prince philip's death
also crazy
ngl I am really liking the Arch package manager
Is it true deus ex mankind divided crashes a lot?
It is but kinda wish it wasn’t so popular on youtube or the internet cuz the scammers might soon be exposed to it or already have
Unless the AI is unrecognizable thru phone
true
but still
it's a powerful tool
instead of getting to real people
they get ai
Honestly thru the buzz from phone lines the AI probably unrecognizable
And even if the scammers suspect it AI
ya
They kinda are forced to entertain or see thru the convo given there might be a chance its not
Cuz they want those bank deets after all
Dang, rip...
https://www.reddit.com/r/Newegg/s/VzQ7oLUr1Q
how often does this happen?
hmm tonight I think I will try to make two LLMs talk to each other
Hmm wondering if llms can be implemented into games such as civilization ones or already have
They can be. However there would be significant overhead
Why would you put a llm into a Civ style game
I think it'd make more sense to try and put it into a MMO or some sort of RPG, where talking and actual interactions are more important
Ohhh right
But civilization could be interesting too
Cuz imagine getting ur kingdom usurped by an npc
Out of nowhere
Randomness?
Which can be coded into a traditional ai as well, yes
Basically you just have to give it a bunch of variables to choose from and have it select from them randomly. I guess the only difference is that a llm would be able to generate the variables themselves, but that can easily and quickly create variables that make no sense
LLM in SimCity 2000 would be the best combo in the history of gaming
Newspaper articles would be even funnier
City Skylines but the twitter wanna be posts are LLM generated 
LLM for strategy games is pretty cool
Like the deepmind thing for StarCraft 2
Use that as your AI opponent
I found a restaurant in my city that serves fried ice cream
wegg got every ps5 in stock sold/ship by wegg and the only xbox they got is the series S 😔
Yo I got a friend who flies those
She’s moved on bro 😔
She thinks enterprises are hotter

Good job
They think gaming isn't important and that 3D V-Cache is therefore trash for their desired market
They don't want us buying their stuff 
guys i have question, i am building a pc and want it for both gaming and conent creation (like adobe after effects edinting or photoshop or somthing else), a lot of my friend told me that avoid intel 14th gens, what u think should i go amd or intel and what models of cpu u recomend, please help
@proud jackal 
They better be doing a good job with Xeon at least then lol
Nah, they specifically said we aren't important when it comes to their desktop sales regardless of server stuff
Iirc they might do 3d v cache in their server stuff
one of the newegg staff that went to work for riot gave it to me.
Oh cool
They used to be rare but now I feel like they’re not
If you had one 3 years ago everyone wanted your gun
ye
Because its AMDs turn

R u judging the TV or my crappy phone camera?
Don't have to be blind to qualify for glasses. I work at an optometry clinic so sorry for the glasses talk.
My vision is like 16/20 or something
It’s just slightly not perfect
Or is it 16/40?
I can’t remember
@wooden harness free glasses pls
Free frames but you have to pay extra for the lenses 
I will take free frames
Your choices are frames made by a Luxottica brand, frames made by a Luxottica brand, frames made by a Luxottica brand or frames that are branded as store brand that are actually made by Luxottica
They only really cost a couple of bucks to sell for a good profit, but we normally list it at 25-50x that price, so you are getting a bargain 
Enough to get glasses but not necessary at all. You would have a small prescription. Ur lucky tho. Enjoy ur good eyes. I need my glasses
U just missed the buy one get one sale. I cannot get you free glasses but I get free glasses for myself 🙂
I think my left eye is at 90% efficiency
Top comment guy saved him
I have an astigmatism in one of my eyes but I don't remember which
Honestly bless that guy he didn’t have to entertain the dude but still made sure he got a good list in the end
I have it in both 
I have astigmatism in both of my eyes, very bad
It’s incredibly difficult to drive at night
Same
I actually learned to notice shadows more instead
Helps with noticing stupid pedestrians who wear dark clothes at night too
Its the slight movement of the shadows not the shadows themselves
It can get wanky tho cuz i thought a fire hydrant was a kid once 💀
The hydrant was next to a highway for some reason 😭
so i found concord on disc at a walmart nearby. Would it be worth getting it for the rarity of it?
Yk the triple lane roads with stoplights
only if it's like 5 dollars
So where a hydrant should be?
Full price
nah
They kinda need to be next to roads
yeah i figured
Yh but i’ve only noticed most hydrants on local roads next to houses
Prolly cuz you gotta drive slower there
And u notice a lot more
They should be located periodically along the side of main roads in more developed areas
At least in places that have fire hydrant codes in place
“Oop, must’ve hit another one of those yelling fire hydrants”
I thought it was moving 😭
Oh I just don't see those cause a lot of places we don't have street lamps
I only have a slight astigmatism but because my lenses make up for it it makes everything look all bright at night for me too
I got injection clinic coming up on Friday 😭
There are 140 people that I have to freeze their eyes
9-1
Oh thank god the board isn't ewaste
But what about 6200/6400
Man if you add a 100 bucks to that you can technically get a 4k capable gpu 💀
9950x3d and x870 btf when ?
no

I'd hope that it could do it given you spend $700
Well aware cpu sample limits things but man that board better make it easier
6400 should be easy
The cringe 


why newegg put factor ads in my cpu package
Incase you wanna eat cheaper
I wondered that too, but I dont need premade meals. Even if some sound pretty good
Sponsored
They get paid to do that
I appreciate the thought because factor makes decent meals from reviews Ive seen
valid
just gets expensive real quick
i thought i got scammed when i saw like two of those papers and my cpu was all the way at the bottom
like the reddit post i saw earlier today
On good news. my thermal pads come today so i can continue my PC build
so my nvme's will be properly cooled
MSI sorta dropped the ball
I bought a used monitor
My 1080ti comes in Tuesday and my pc comes in on the 5th

can someone tell me if it looks good on the outside
nice!
I am probably reselling it together for $750 cuz it’s brand new 1080ti still in original packaging
suprising theres stilla brand new 1080ti out there
its not that bad trust
I think
This feels and looks amazing
My friend sent me it saying I should get it
I told I wanted a wheel and he said to look into that one should I buy it eventually or stick to moza
Keep it for 30 years in og packaging, sell it as a collectible piece of hardware history for a couple hundred 
Real
So should I buy it?
no

How would it be a scam if some of the things are preference? Like their cases?
Watch the video
Damn! 🦫
Perfection
Now let me contemplate on how I cannot afford that
Then the context of the video is communicated properly
Lol
I’m going to watch the whole thing dw
Also even tho there scamming people which is bad I still sadly am going to buy one more item from them then I’m done
My pc so far
You do you, I'm not here to have a relapse into a discussion we know the conclusion to
Yea I get it
I’m very happy for the case tho it seems good quality at least
Point is, NZXT rentals are predatory and alarmingly malicious
Yea
And this deserves reposting everywhere
I don’t like that
Should I put it in the nzxt server😭
They already don’t like me there
Alright thanks for the sacrifice
Also my dad said he’d get me the 9700x for Christmas
:D
Sent it
Send what
Btw do you like what I have so far in the picture
The days after thanksgiving. perpetual gluttony
Sooooooo?
Slowly
Find the proper fitting tool
nzxt rental program should be taken down
do they rent ovens
wegg server is correct on NZXT
top spec is $200+ a month
they really are terrible
for a pc YOU WILL NEVER OWN
lmao
2 months and you can get a used pc
see if you buy a pc you can sell it
yeah
they better be renting out epyc pcs for $200 per month
oops
you can literally
I could literally get a haswell xeon crapbox and a 1080ti
you don't own anything, and you WILL be happy

at least geforce now made more sense
Every 5 minutes I make through this the program gets so much worse
It's actually criminally predatory crap
GFN makes sense cuz it's not so damn expensive
holy snap, 1 hour vid
also you can use GFN anywhere
@hoary zodiac if that program existed here on the same terms they'd be taken to court for millions
if you have good internet
But nzxt flex is criminally bad
i legit dont understand why you would "rent" a pc build
mid pcs for the price too
it's literally cheaper to rent a DSLR
this makes geforce now/amazon luna look like the greatest subscription service ever
THE RETURN PROCESS IS INSANE
def
you could probably rent a vps with a dgpu for less
lol yea
If you throw out the original box, you will be charged for a replacement box fee
LMAO
that's insane
YOU WILL BE CHARGED
beyond comprehension
wow
now i know to NOT support nzxt more than ever
You ripped open the plastic bag? That'll be $3 for a new "nzxt plastic bag" please
tbh im glad i never purchased any NZXT product ever, this further solidifies that stance
we should collectively stop recommending NZXT anything even if it's cheaper or actually good (lol)
I liked their PSUs but I hate this
Yeah I'm all for that
either stop, or get sued, or go bankrupt
We can't take it to anything server wide though with this, just keep it personal guys
are the ways to convince me to see nzxt as a choice again
yeah
yeah
We must be fair
to be fair nzxt products are already so bad in value they don't get recommended anyways

The PSUs were the last bastion with me lmao
i had someone say they melted asus tufs
psus are fine tbh
better a good psu than a bad psu
and they're recommending people to buy i9 laptops because
"cores good for rendering"
what is this? bulldozer argument?
"yeah our cpu has a lot of cores, it's clearly better, don't look at the i5 2500k which destroys our entire product lineup"
i should've pulled up benchmarks
"intel always drew less power than amd at the same performance in desktops"
I don't get going more than i7/R7 and 3070 on mobile
how badly i needed the benches
at that point it defeats the point of a laptop
and also the form factor becomes a limit
intel already spams cores in their cpus since 12th gen anyway
so going above i7 makes no sense
unless it's "ryzen 9" with 8 cores
they also ignore the fact that
certain i9 laptops are slower than i7 inside similarly priced laptops
all because of tdp
I think that's everything on the high end laptop scale
"more cores still better"
there's a point where the cpu and gpu gets crippled by thermals and power limit
and then you're spending 2-3K on barely better performance than a 1.5K laptop
the most i've seen a laptop gpu allowed to draw is what
170 watts
anymore is too much heat
unless it's a macbook
you hit the ceiling of laptop perf (windows) at xx70 nvidia gpu and i7/r7 for cpu
I wonder if it's better to get a macbook as a portable workstation these days
anything more just get a desktop
than a fully decked out nvidia + intel laptop
or a macbook
cuz dem arm socs aren't to be joked about
also apple finally stopped selling 8gb macs
no more base mbp having 8gb
even macbook airs start at 16
ironic tho
amd take notes
they probably figured out that it's cheaper to put more ram in macbooks than to spend money on the PR team defending 8gb
makes sense
it's a uphill battle so
plus more customer satisfaction
yeah
so a no brainer
especially considering they're a prosumer platform
I wonder how the M4 compares to i9 laptops in cpu encoding
$600 apparently
that's not even expensive for a cheap workstation
$600 usd
budget workstation fr
you know something's wrong with the tech industry when apple is presenting an appealing value compared to intel and amd's offerings
hmm
nas or external ssds are the way
thunderbolt + pcie ssd dock
that's still like
~1K
cheaper than a gaming pc tbh
considering what it could do
not bad
yeah steam proton's more on the linux x86 side of things
when we get an arm steam deck that's when the real fun begins
The thing is that Apple is also hoping to get you hooked into their ecosystem, so it is a similar situation as consoles. Even if the bleep bloop machine costs less, they are hoping that you'll be stuck in their ecosystem so they can profit
I mean it's looking pretty appealing atm
you have to flip the thing to use the button
if you're in a professional setting it's probably not too bad
man i wish dxvk was good on windows
most games lose performance with that vulkan wrapper (dx11-dx12) lol
So if valve just recently released the deck to Australia and even came out an said there’s a lack of hardware to make a sizable difference in performance… the steam deck 2 is very far into the future…
understandable
Gow uses that no?
it's a pretty small form factor
gow doesn't use vulkan (atleast the 2018) game
dunno about the new one
not gonna lie
if apple offered 16gb in 2023 for m2 mba
i would've become a mac user

Oh i just thought dxvk sounded familiar
warm take
But people did mod the 2018 gow to use vulkan i believe
almost all i play is roblox
oh i thought the game was optimized
it doesn't matter to me
base model
Gets good performance and pretty damn high frames but there are horrendous frame drops on it
oh
valve said that there wont be a steam deck successor anytime soon themselves
I wonder how mac minis competes with intel nucs and other mini pcs
coz apple tax
no match
$699 is pretty competitive
don't even talk about comparing them
Ragnarok is pretty good tho even tho current gen hardware doesn’t get super high frames on it
but ofc
Didn't Intel discontinue the NUC?
windows has more software compatibility
back in 2020 I wouldn't have put "apple" and "competitive" together
asus bought it
There were frame drops in certain areas but no noticeable stutters
Yh kind of sucks i wish i had gotten a deck earlier ngl
Now it just feels kinda late
I wonder if intel has an non-compete agreement with apple
the idea of a more than fast enough for roblox fanless laptop is nice to me
but 8gb ram back then threw me off
Why? Their very existence means they will have to compete is some form
my laptop has 8 ecores that never get used and the battery lasts like two hours
are the M chips still hybrid architecture cpus?
I believe the ram even botches the performance even when there is no use for more ram
the intel way
16 gigs was the minimum for good performance i believe for the m series
that's because of the lack of vram
unified memory
16gb becomes important
less is problematic
not really tbf
if you bought it at release, you would have had not very polished OS bundled
now if you buy it you'll get a pretty well polished OS without the early adopter pains
Not to be that guy, but offering stuff for rent and it being criminally bad towards consumers is the standard for the renting business, not unique to NZXT. It is bad, should be heavily cracked down on and NZXT bad for doing it, but anybody entering the rental business is going to do it
there's stuff that makes sense for rent
Such as couches
like movie and tv licenses (netflix) for stuff that you're just gonna watch once
Or movies
don’t ping daniela lmao
who rents a couch
Idiots who use Rentacenter
I agree, except that the business has so many predatory adhesion terms of contract that it's actually not like a normal rental agreement at all.

rosetta 2 layer
I know I’m watching it
He's gone over statute of limitations at this point and nzxt try to make you contract into 60 days for price changes which is against the law in many states.
HA @hoary zodiac
There's so many things wrong
oh goddammit
Almost done
Even just going by the numbers it's bad but the grey area legal terms are definitively bad
The all-new Mac mini is more mighty, and more mini... but is it built for gaming?

m4 with 16gb
Rent a Center regularly receives and loses lawsuits over defrauding customers, targeting poor communities, punitive actions towards customers and harrassment lawsuits
I agree with the video but I still like how nzxt products looks and I’m still getting their aio that’s it

Can’t watch vid, is the m4 mac mini doing good?
💀what car, what state, how long?
it's not too bad tbh
That’s base model Mac mini
can keep up fine
Impressive perf for $600
Is anyone going to answer the first question I asked?
I mean to be fair you don't buy a mac for gaming
Which just emphasises the point that people aren't safe even if it's a brick and mortar point of trade
I do smh
So is it something to do with a transition layer to make windows games run on Mac? Sort of like Wine?
If it can run RDR2 single player pretty well then I’m all for it
My friend was at the store and he sent me this since he knows what I’m trying to buy but can someone tell me if this is good?
they're pure arm with a translation layer?
run windows with parallels
yeah it's all arm
Turtle beach bad
damn
How is the wheel bad
you can run windows on arm macs
I wonder when this development will funnel over to general consumers
open source translation layer would be great for linux users
Turtle beach makes terrible products 99% of the time
So what if this is the 1%
its not
It emphasises that general rental businesses should be either made illegal or should be so heavily regulated that dvd rentals are the only thing allowed to exist 
Why isn’t it good
Ok that much I agree with, but I do miss blockbuster

Tequila would be a pretty cool name for a transition layer like this
Awful
It’s supposed to be entry level to DD
Why
Reviews say it’s ok
One single products
moza r3 or thrustmaster t598
Tmx pro beats it for near same price
Me wants
Moza is good, agree
oh yeah I should probably buy some games
Not familiar with t598 tho, been a minute since I was in the Sim space
New dd from thrustmaster
it seems like
