  1. Meanwhile the 5800X3D is getting closer to what I am willing to spend on it :) Should be a nice replacement for my 2700x
  2. Sadly we got the new UI, I was partial to the older format but mostly because it worked really well for me.
  3. They climb tree's hella fast too
  4. You've got more going on than I do dude, no one is interested in banning you, nor has the subject ever been broached a single time. I am quite a bit more tolerant than you give me credit for. Any ideas what happened to Khenglish? Wasnt the heaviest poster but was certainly a mad scientist, loved seeing his work. A woman like that is one of a kind!
  5. It comes off as patronizing but if you're capable of going on a jog or some exercise to get the heart pumping, it tends to flush the brain fog. Sometimes making it above water is enough to get that air and put a plan into action. I prefer bike riding myself, throw on some headphones and put some distance between me and what ever problem Im chewing on at the time.
  6. True enough, though I would've been nervous to work there in the first place. Regardless of era lol. I despise corporate politics just like regular politics, too many cubicles and I'll start looking for the door. Altogether suffocating nature of it all is just not in my nature. Too long and I'd be screaming like James McAvoy in Wanted.
  7. This is also false. OEMs just want to put their already in place motherboards into multiple SKUs and sell it as a different product family. See Latitude 5430 and Mobility Precision, same chassis, slightly differing board, same keyboard, same panels, same outputs. its an effort to streamline manufacturing while appearing to maintain different product families. There was a reason why Eurcom released the 780w AC Adapter, there was a market for it. You dont get to create an inferior product, then say "whelp, theres no market!" then charge the same or money for it. Of course the market is going to look elsewhere, if you go long enough then those on the older systems will either buy somethign they dont want or grab some cheap yesteryear system to suffice the mobile needs while they move to desktops for what they want.
  8. California has some pretty stringent guidelines for terminations. If someone gets fired immediately after airing out some dirty laundry I'd imagine they would get a nice settlement. That all being said, only a chosen few actively seek to garner the ire of their bosses. Unless of course they are now following the guidelines for Texas, even then retaliation terminations still dont fly that well here. Especially in the court of public opinion. Musk is in a position where he has everything to lose in that arena.
  9. The main issue with ebay is sellers can get away with selling "in kind" parts and not the actual thing they are listing to begin with. That all being said ebay tends to screw its sellers beyond recognition due to ebay protections which are ripe with fraudulent buyers. Really wish ebay got replaced with something else.
  10. Thats true I didnt consider that, likely NDA's seems to be the norm in that space. I really dont like sourceless material though. Not exclusive to the Verge, we're told. No, The Verge is not a source, being a source and a publication would allow so many conflicts of interest it would render both to be without value.
  11. Thanks for sharing, I've been on and off eyeing these systems and Lenovo for a while now.
  12. IIRC when I started a BLCK overclock it killed the daughterboard altogether :( What convinced me to get something else was when the screen started flickering. Its also the system that got me into Laptop overclocking/mods generally speaking.
  13. Personal details removed, there is a place for transactions @tps3443 otherwise handle it via PM. Thanks
  14. They dont want teachers teaching how to use Windows OS to younger kids and ChromeOS is "easier" to manage since its done via cloud, idea is to keep the teachers teaching that they are geared towards I guess. Microsofts policies on replacements are the same as Chromebook's, replace, only more expensive.
  15. Thats true but I will be restricted to whats on that platform, Workstations traditionally dont allow overclocking, and this precision (as far as I can tell) follows the trend. Should still allow for me to test hardware without inconveniencing my down time. Basically have had no use for the Precision for over a year until it dawned on me that I should be able to use it for GPU benching, its the system that has a 9800X installed.
  16. Well worst case scenario it can just be a test best of sorts and get some overclocks dialed in
  17. Maybe not within, but certainly could have a USB powered 5TB drive affixed outside or perhaps modded to sit within (but still connected via USB)
  18. Hey guys, in terms of GPU benchmarking, would a workstation suffice or would I lose too much points from stepping off a overclockable system? The 10850k system is doing well as a DD but I dont want to tear it down for benching all the time lol, I have a precision 5820-x and was thinking of using that for tuning stuff during the week and OS pruning. I finally have an SLI cable so now I want to get back to GTX 690 SLI, GTX 280 SLI, GTX 295 etc etc
  19. I just touched base with Hiew, we both want to make some progress on the Forum, just been slammed with work. normally Winter is our slow period but due to shifting circumstances and the world economy nearly ending things werent quite regular this year.
  20. You have reached your limit of hosted storage 😞 Save the pictures that are valuable and/or clear some of the fudd to make space. Storage the one aspect we are sadly a bit anemic on. I've been too much of a hermit, really need to get back on the forum grind.
  21. Perhaps I'll have to look at this over time on a case by case basis when governments and technology rub shoulders for what ever reason. That being said the conversation will need to focus on the issue and potential solutions versus party A vs B in relation to who ever likes which party more at a given time. This is proving my point in totality. Tribalistic defense with zero introspection while ignoring points to which you dont wish to defend. This is not productive, unless of course that is the point? The US is not a direct democracy, never has been. Its a constitutional republic, always has been. The only time people complain about the Electoral College is when they dont get the votes, just like the only time people complain about voter reform is when things dont appear to be leaning towards their preferred team. Both teams distort reality to suit their truths. The only difference is the flavor.
  22. I like the TU150 since I could easily fit the NH-D15 CPU cooler and a 3 slot card. At the time I was using the 5700XT, I think its a 2.25 or 2.5 slot card and I had 15mm fans on the bottom bringing air in. Only thing that ruined it was the glass window, didnt allow for any venting.
  23. The one thing Apple understands is creating that cohesion between their devices, looking forward to seeing your feedback on the forums 🙂
