Hey, I also said BSD. But fair point -- at this scale, Windows would be fine. And prolly MacOS as well.

Depending on your skills and interest, maybe try plain Ubuntu (or your favorite plain Linux or BSD distro.) Most free NAS distros are built from parts that are already part of the open source ecosystem, so plain OSes effectively give you access to every feature from every NAS distro out there...

Why not both? 📺📺

What, it's perfectly cromunuple.

Nope, they're doing nothing but harvesting your email. Just run UPlay, it's free ('til Sep 8) right there. If UPlay says "looking for patches", restart it in Administrator mode.

That 50TB is only $25k, down from infinity only a year ago. At that rate, it won't be long.

Unfortunately already bought the games on Steam (discounted, but still). On the gripping hand, free is free! Thanks!

From https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-TUF-Gaming-A15/specifications/ "Only" two outputs so you can't do a nice 3-display desktop, but to be fair I have a USB3 video adapter, and they work amazingly well. But then there's this: I've never even heard of 45% NTSC. What's that, like an old...

Inland Professional brand SSD drives are half-priced at MicroCenter, on site and in store. $20 for 120GB, $30 for 240GB, and $50 for 480GB. Also, Crucial MX500 500GB is competitive at $58.

Compared to that other 1080 deal: 1708 MHz - Boostable to 1847 MHz 2560 CUDA Cores 8GB of GDDR5X VRAM RGB lighting Killer deal, considering recent pricing trends. But I'm waiting for all those used 1080s to hit the market. :imp:

Just a couple notes ... The other Unreal games seem cheaper on GOG than on Steam, though Steam has UT 3 while GOG does not. Unreal 2 is a fun single-player game. Shorter but stronger story, and the characters actually talk. UT 3 was also a fun game, though I only ever played the bots. Visuals...

Yeah, I suspect that's the gag. Supply is so low and demand so high that those are "deals" in the economic sense even if not deals in the anandtech sense.

FWIW, SanDisk 256GB thumb drive at Best Buy is $60 (on sale). I bought the PNY version a few years ago for $70, and this is the first time I've seen prices anywhere near that, so things might be starting to move forward again. USB 2 version $58...

$6 at GOG, $3 at Steam. Maybe it was a 1-day deal? [Edit] Wups sorry, didn't notice messages are a week old. Yeah, deal's over.

Turns out I already had this, duh. FYI, Shadow Warrior Classic is just plain free on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/238070/Shadow_Warrior_Classic_1997/
