Oh yes. Your right! I remember her from House of flying daggers and crouching tiger hidden dragon

I was hoping for support of Intel Arc gpu temp on the main page ...oh well. Next time

Cloud Atlas Sextet for Piano From the movie Cloud Atlas a movie that I love on many different levels. (The shallowest level being full on boobs of Bae Doona )

I had to listen to this twice. Yesterday I just thought "nope doesn't do it for me, piano at the beginning sounds weird". But the melody kept running through my head and today I had to have another listen. Thats odd. Usually I know if I like a piece within the first few seconds. Most compositions I've said "no" to don't get a second chance. I think its growing on me. I will listen again....and maybe again....

I also did this to my desktop with small speakers...makes an improvement!

Joni Mitchell - Both sides now I like both versions of this song (the original and this older slower version)

I'm sure there are still some parts of the world (deepest darkest Africa I'm looking at you) where people are unaware of the greatness Evangelion - Opening theme

Mad Max (I cant believe Fury Road is this old ) Runs pretty good on the Intel Arc GPU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Max_(2015_video_game)

Someone finally tells me what I've suspected for years

Eurotrash at its finest

WTF did I just watch?

I bought a used Sony PS4 Pro CUH-7200B (apparently thats the last and best version number) for ¥16,850 (about $USD110 (That is a steal for this model in Japan)) Took me 3 months on Yahoo auction A new 1Tb ssd for it and a repast and thermal pads change. Its hard to play compared to mouse and keyboard (I was never a console player) It really is time to move away from windows and their BS

I feel your pain my friend. I've lost my Dad and Wife. I can't tell you the pain will ever be less, but it will not sting so intensely, as time passes. Just keep going. 1 day at a time.

TLDR; Governments only need so many people to keep essentials working. Everyone else is a waste and only good for cannon fodder. Mmmmmm

Thank you for the reply @saturnotaku I do agree with you whole heartedly re Nvidias treatment of its customers. I knew of the directx9-10 thing but thought (hoped) t was a software issue (as I read a few people had trouble getting drivers to install correctly) But anyway I think I will go for the ARC just to play some "newer" games and I still have my Legion to play older stuff if the arc looks too crappy. If this runs well when I build a system next year with new parts I might get another newer ARC.

So....I must make confession here. I've been building a junk desktop. ie I haven't built a desktop in years so I played a game with myself have sourced the parts from Japans version of Feebay. Yahoo auction. I bought each component for under $100 I will make another desktop in a year or so and source new parts, this was really just for practice and giggles. So anyway I have an ASRock B660M mobo with Intel i3-12100F (I got these just on a timing and price criteria) Now I'm looking for a graphics card. I have these 2 options right now but from what I read The intel Arc isnt great for games (or wasnt, still true?) MSI GeForce RTX3050 overcolocked 6GB or IntelArc A580 8GB I'm more familiar with the greengoblin of course. They are very close to same price. Anyone has a current opinion of the Arc? Most of what I read is a little dated (as are both the cards). Thank you in advance!

@6730b I'm glad to see in the picture you put the tyre you just removed under the frame as a backup to the jack. This is how I learnt to do it and it makes me cringe to see idiots put limbs or even heads under a vehicle without this. .....but then again. I'm not saying we should kill stupid people, but if we just remove every warning sign and let nature take its course I had an ignition coil in my car die on the way to work Friday morning. I diagnosed at lunch time with OBD2 dongle I keep in my glovebox and smartphone. I swapped the coil to another cylinder and the error followed it. Ordered a new set from Amazon and will install them tomorrow.

I was joking..no actual movie. But Alien prometheus comes to mind

@6730b I found 1 way to install .msu files via extracting the .cab file I have version mismatch error when trying to install kb5044343 and kb5046682 Still playing with it https://woshub.com/manually-install-cab-msu-updates-windows/

I tried but just couldnt get into RDR2 or Cyberpunk.....might try again, timing is EVERYTHING

I've seen this movie...lots of screaming and blood floating in zero G

Anytime is a good time to add it up. Violent Femmes Ive loved this song for over 30 years...still no idea what the hell he is on about

@Papusan Netflix: 70 million people already pay to watch ads Mmmm.....Sorrento said it best.

In the background? I've driven some of those roads in Tokyo......sounded a lot like that engine
