  1. of course, just like he did with Tesla: invest early, throw out all the OGs and call yourself the founder 😄 https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/06/tesla-founders-martin-eberhard-marc-tarpenning-on-elon-musk.html
  2. sorry mate, can only offer a P751DM with Prema Bios 😄 good luck with your search, all three of them definitely Clevo classics / legends!
  3. looks like u started watching two days too late *ba-dum tssss*
  4. how long was Adam in paradise?! LOL ure cracking me up Papu 😄 curious to see how this one holds up after the last two disastrous releases...
  5. funny to see how "frugal" youve become in terms of spending money on new hardware my man 😄 but totally the sensible thing to do! nevertheless, i find it amazing how crazy fast DDR5 prices have dropped in just 3 short months. i can now get a 32GB 7600 kit for the same price as i originally bought my 6600 kit 😮 duuuuude, did u test all those urself? crazy stuff man, but awesome data 🙂 i kinda get the feeling that Nvidia is now focusing on maintaining the "dollar per fps" ratio and keep it stable, thus ever increasing GPU pricing, since: they give u more and more FPS, right?!?!?! lulz on the other hand, their plan is working, 40 series GPUs are so ridiculous in their pricing (aside from the 4090) that ppl rather go for the 30 series. lets see how much, if anything, AMD is able to change that in mid Dec.... definitely a nice upsell, im sure u will not regret that BEAST of a psu! efficiency king to this day, even after 4+ years of having been released!
  6. actually way less, so could be barely enough for 4 applications in your case:
  7. LOL i actually got more excited about the superman cameo in the end than the rest of the movie hahaha i actually liiked Love & Thunder 😄 but i thought that Ragnarok before it was a total trainwreck hahaha in any case, soooo happy than Henry Cavill is back to being Superman 🙂
  8. on the other hand, he only exposed what was a horribly mismanaged platform without any rules or regulations whatsoever. best to do it now than let it build up even more, wouldve been even more of a wideranging impact.
  9. already did bud, and i must say both me and my lady were veeeery disappointed... flat story, flat characters, i really expected more.... 😞
  10. huh, so u went with the same source as LTT then 😄 just to clarify, PTM7950SP is the paste, correct? and PTM7950 is the pad? seems to be quite cheap though, just 2-3€ ?! that doesnt seem right... oooh nvm, that just depends on how large of a pad ure ordering, got it. prices go up to 80+ € haha
  11. those specs sound quite insane. id love for the green team to get a big ol' can of whoop-ass to get back to their senses!
  12. nah, just industry standard. wait for hikes to 40% due to "inflation", everyone's favorite excuse to raise prices currently 😛
  13. an ElonPhone, i love it 😂 should be a satellite phone that can receive signals directly from Mars lulz
  14. can highly recommend recent vids by youtube creator "ColdFusion" on this topic. aside from FTX, hes covered various other topics in history, tech, business and science / R&D. if ure into documentary style vids, this might be smth for ya 🙂 i for one enjoy his channel a lot. in any case, very detailed deep dives into what actually happened in the FTX fiasco.
  15. ha ikr. good thing is, now i know that there actually IS something to that. especially with Zen4 having a pad instead of paste would make life way easier with those IHS ridges in terms of clean up. im now considering getting a sample and trying it out. best places to get it though? aliexpress?
  16. ah aight then, wasnt aware of that info @11th gen support being problematic 🙂
  17. ive followed this trend of Nvidia investing and profiting more and more from non-gaming related business sectors. naturally, for them as a company this is good since it diversifies their product stack and thus their risk. however, im a bit worried about what that might mean for us gamers / tech nerds in the long run if the gaming sector becomes too "small" to care about for them... yeah such polls are always a bit tricky. the data represents the "comfort zone" of the respondents, but not their limits. Nvidia's pricing politics follows the latter, they try to squeeze out as much as humanly possible, offering prices the majority is just barely accepting to pay with grinding teeth before getting out the pitch forks. comfort zone vs. limit, now thats a pretty big Delta, for sure... lol u might wanna switch careers and do a small-scale silicon lottery kinda thingy hahaha
  18. Liam Hemsworth! well of course, u gotta switch out one mountain of muscle with another lol. plus lucky they got another big name to sign on such a short notice i guess. oh really? nice, im glad hes continuing with Superman, hes actually a reaaaaally good placement for Supes imho. any new superman movies planned? or another team up i.e. justice league? ikr @writing team. although i must say the Snyder cut was a revelation, was super skeptical at first whether it would make such a difference. geez, night and day, completely different movie! and that in a good way.
  19. yep, agreed on that. always good to take a little time out every once in a while, look at your life and decide, if the internal hesitation is based on being overwhelmed or if its a sign that ure taking a direction u dont actually want to take. oh no worries on that front, i actually pushed back the job start for two weeks so i could take care of the worst part of the move. the rest will just take a while to figure out, i.e. getting the furniture in place (delivery times being quite long that they are atm) and unpacking everything. yeah! thats what i was referring to above in reply to @Reciever, once u feel that internal hesitation and realize youre "stuck", thats the absolute worst. its often times not straight forward though, i.e. "be careful what you wish for". a life of total individual freedom might sound awesome right now, but picture yourself on your death bed: wouldnt you miss having a family of your own? maybe regret having lived a life that was a bit too "selfish"? as with all things in life actually worth having, it needs work, time, nerves, dedication, compromises and sacrifice. thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated 🙂
  20. dont forget, theyvre alread done exactly that, going from 10 core 10900K to an 8C 11900K... lulz, AMD supporters, cmon man 😄 im not a fanboy for any company, i just go with the products that make the most sense to me 😛
  21. less of a bother, more of a worry. but that worry bothers me. tons going on currently, just finished moving into a new appartment, had to handle all of our stuff single-handedly, since my pregnant wife obviously is not allowed to handle any heavy things anymore. luckily im pretty much in peak physical condition atm, been working out hard the past few months but still, was SO much and so stressful, i ended up getting sick. now in the new appartment, but basically living out of suitcases n boxes, still tons of furniture missing we need to purchase and build. gonna start my new job in 4 days time. interviews were a blast, seems like they REALLY want me and expect great things. recently married in August, got our first kid on the way, just found out its gonna be a girl! soooo....long story short: am i cut out for all this? be a good husband, good father, good employee? i feel so inadequate and stuff currently just feels overwhelming. a bit more personal than i usually like it to be, but felt like i needed to vent this.
  22. ouch, not a good trend my man! as @Etern4lmentioned above, out of sight is out of mind. best to get rid of all excessive sugar storages in your home. just leave enough for a snack or two ahead. add in roadblocks for urself to get to sugar, i.e. having to do another supermarket or shop run to get sweets. also, if it HAS to be smth sweet, try and go with smth more healthy, i.e. fruits or heavy grain bars with a touch of dark chocolate on top of heavy grain cornflakes. or with drinks, instead of straight up just dilute everything with water, fills up the belly faster and quenches the sugar thirst but limits the total sugar intake. source: myself 😄 always trying to find new tricks to fool my body into burning more and consuming less.
  23. dangerous game ure playing there with that argument. its the classic "i and others i know dont need this, so might as well just get rid of it!". same can be said for: - socketable cpus. most people never upgrade their cpu, even on desktop. - socketable wifi. most people never upgrade that either. - hows about dat RAM? do most people upgrade that in their machines? doubtful. and so on, and so forth. what AMD provides with their platform longevity is CHOICE. u dont want to upgrade to the latest compatible cpu on that socket after 6-7 years? fine, get a completely new system. but u still have the CHOICE to do so, i.e. ure tight on budget and cant bother to build a completely new machine, bam new cpu swap with bios update and bob's your uncle. would u prefer a complete platform change for every single cpu gen? including soldered down components for everything? welcome to laptop land! this is where PC enthusiasts come to die 💀 respectfully disagree on that point, its not a gimmick but rather a tool for AMD to win market share from Intel. AM4 CPUs and especially the 5800X3D outselling all other cpus combined is a pretty strong indicator for that. of course there are MORE than enough peeps that just prefer Intel tuning, just way easier to overclock, bigger numbers in terms of clocks, stable boosting without fluctuations, more direct control, etc. but point being that both strategies seem to attract a looot of users, so something must be done right on both sides. and I KNOW! most of us dont look for "value" of this kind with our hardware choices and we sneer at "good enough" hardware, since we usually want only the best of the best. but catering towards us is not how AMD and Intel make money, were just there for the Halo effect. it is what it is! dude, this whole post is a friggin piledriver (pun also intended) driving your points home, great work as usual on the analysis and summary! sadly, thats exactly what ive been hearing so far, as well. 14th gen is going 6P + 16E, its not gonna be pretty vs. the expected 24C / 48T Zen 5 flagship from AMD 😅
  24. oooh i forgot about the books, ure totally right! they lost Cavill? oh snap, smth mustve gone terribly wrong then. have they found a replacement yet? big shoes to fill, to say the least...
  25. try and stick to Andor, its a slow burning fire but its slowly picking up and gets more interesting as u go along 🙂
