-Yikes! I ask again how does someone manage to swing a CEO gig? Cause I can kill a company twice as fast for half as much as most of these guys seem to...

When Einstein said the third world war would be fought with sticks and stones, I don't think he meant because decades of peace, stability, and corruption meant there weren't enough conventional weapons to actually fight a large scale war between peer or near-peer combatants.

- Uh... make sure you're getting a Ryzen 9 7900x and make sure you have a socket AM5 motherboard. The Ryzen is not going to work in the LGA 1700 board in the original post and I don't see you mentioning another board in the thread unless I missed it. Don't want you coming back and yelling at...

I figure we keep it open and it can die a natural death when people lost interest in arguing the point. If this forum was super active and this was bumping other more interesting threads off the front page then I can see an argument for closing it, but unfortunately that's not the case.

-From my point of view, you've unilaterally decided that if something doesn't run at 60FPS it's unplayable. A steady 30FPS, I'd agree, is the lower bound for what can be considered playable, especially with bargain bin hardware, but it is still playable.

Intel is also having some issues with silicon degradation and stability thanks to not enforcing stock settings on mobo manufacturers. Presumably the new "Stock bios settings" they'll release soon will clip their processor's wings a bit, like 1-5% off the top. Their power consumption is also...

Yep, California has the added benefit of its regulatory environment being somewhat stupid. Normally you get a 6.9% increase because 7% and above triggers a whole review process by the CADOI etc. Well over Covid rate increases were paused (and refund checks were mandated) but labor and part...

- Worth noting that this gen launched into an incredible period of supply side scarcity as well, which has likely clipped the TAM for consoles quite a bit. Like most things, I'd bet consoles do the bulk/disproportionate number of their sales 1-2 years into their lifecycle and then sort of...

-Consoles are super homogenized now. Very few exclusives, very minor differences in performance level. PC's have also exploded in popularity with the exclusivity wall coming down, PCs being easier to build than ever, hardware lasting longer than ever, services like Steam making PCGaming super...

- It didn't even occur to me that this thread started in 2021 and is 90 pages long (at 100 posts per page). It feels like its pretty constantly at the top of the forum and in the new posts section. The Sisyphean nature of the thread also makes it feel like you're always jumping into page 2 of...

-Disneyland would have a field day with those things. They've been trying to build more "living worlds" within their parks and having untethered robots rather than traditional animatronics or some poor sucker in a suit would make for quite an experience.

Yeah the Supercharger thing is definitely kind of shocking. I thought I knew which way the wind was blowing when Tesla's design formed the foundation of NACS, the company could pivot away from the cars and into the infrastructure and secure a huge chunk of a new market. I feel like Musk is...

-I appreciate the Tacoma in the picture because it really does highlight how incredibly weird the CT looks. Somehow simultaneously larger and smaller than you'd think it would be all in one go.

Yeah, it's alright.

Need to? No. If you are encountering issues is it a potential troubleshooting step? Sure.
