Reciever

If you lean all the way to the left and touch your back with the top of your wrists you get pretty close though :D All that's left is to mimic your favorite dinosaur

If it helps we could have a banner made to shame you upon purchase, I wouldnt mind even getting commentary from @Clamibot articulating just how much money was wasted like those one liner quotes that OEM's like to use from Product reviewers. Here to help, after all

Jaybee keeping me busy I see lol I'll add it to the list this weekend :)

Not that I am currently aware of, but its worth digging into. I'll spend some time this weekend looking into this and some other things that have been eluding me.

Just gotta wait for some unfortunate fork-lift driver to hit one and you may see it in the for parts or not working part of ebay :D

Setting the typical deflections aside for those that like to defend it to the death (lol), the choices they decide to commit to in the second reminds me (not 1:1 mind you) of TellTales The Walking Dead, where they spend a great deal of time and energy getting you to care about Clementine only to go out of their way to 180 on persuade you to betray her at any given chance. John Wick except instead of a puppy and cool suits its the main characters daughter and the basic idea of zombie ants making its way into humans.

Dont remind me lol There are some things I wanted to have done before the 1 year mark and that is looking to be increasingly more difficult. Just mostly recovered from a cold, hopefully this weekend I can get some stuff done.

I have that same chair I think, gets the job done lol The monitor is still pretty cheap @ 160

Thats where a lot of my systems come from right now, out of warranty decom. I am currently sitting on: 5820 Precision w/ i7 9800x 4x 7810 with 2x 2650v3 (20c/40t) (some of which have 128GB RAM) 3x optiplex 7060 i7's optiplex 7070 w/ i5 6x HP t630's Probably over a TB of ram One of the other reasons I was a bit disillusioned was due to super low bids I kept getting. I used to sell Optiplex 7040 micros for 100 and people would still shoot me offers of 40 lol. I was thinking of building my own SCCM/MDT server to make the process of clean slating PC's more automated.

I have been debating it to some degree but of my experience of late is around sccm/mdt deployments and such. I think I have hit the ceiling at my current employment but I do have too much hardware at home for my own uses its really a waste to let it be. Me and Hiew debated it several times since we essentially do it already for all our friends and family and do have a genuine interest in the space. Then we needed a forum lol, so that took front seat and then work ramped up for both of us pretty significantly.

That is an automated process, which is not what is originally described. What you describe is for me to personally reset a password based on request. I have no way to guarantee you are who you say you are, which presents other repercussions if we were to engage in that scenario. I have tested the automated reset system and it's email functions, everything appears to function as desired. Perhaps your email service may need to be re-evaluated?

Would be nice in the laptop space though.

buyers remorse is why I never attempted to start up a business in that arena. I dont have the heart to turn away a sob story and would likely just implode as a result. Much easier for me to curse Dell and HP to the high heavens for their inept and lately lower product standards. Though now I just have stressors in other aspects of my work.

Welcome back! We do not do password resets under any circumstance, for any member. 2FA like Authy and Google Authenticator can export 2FA credentials to a new device.

After using an LG v30 I had gotten from @Mr. Fox I have stepped into the Pixel 7 Pro. Its a nice phone, a bit discouraging that it doesnt formally support USB C to HDMI/DP via Alt mode. Going to see if I have any luck on that front this week with some Dell Docks at work.

Welcome to the Forums!

Since this is speculative, I have moved it out of the WLSIB sub-forum. In any case welcome to the forums! I find it odd that now that DTR's, MXM and SLI have been methodically killed off that we start seeing announcements of 18" chassis again.

Is it me or is forcing no support on sli/xfire part of the reason why the gpu market kind of sucks right now? What ever criticisms justified or otherwise of the methodology it did create a means for people clear out old stock and also for those that sold their gpu's second hand to help justify the cost of the latest and greatest. Wasn't as much of an issue before because we had crypto and pandemic to backfill and escalate the demand threshold. Neither of which is present any longer. Now we just have an inflexible product stack.

The single most important to any build, especially if you intend to keep the PC for a prolonged duration is undoubtedly going to be its heart. The power supply. Everything else depends what you intend to use the PC for, as that tends to dictate what components you are looking at.

Everyone is partial to China, that is not news. Please keep the thread on the topic of Twitter.

The sick part was they jacked up pricing before the impact was ever felt from the pandemic, which is the reasoning for year over year profits. When I read sales are down, oh well. We all explicitly knew this would happen at some point.

Especially when my 5700xt still plays pretty much everything I throw at it. iirc when overclocked performed in tandem with the 1080ti which is still respectable in its own right. Heck even the 1080 still does well only reason I stopped using it was because I took my experiments too far lol. Didn't the 3090ti launch without an msrp?

Cant argue with that analysis.

Yeah inflation is definitely part of it, but I agree that it alone doesn't make for a satisfying explanation. Especially when many companies jacked up pricing and had record profits year over year through the pandemic.

I dont think I have had anything less than 8GB since 2018/2019.
