    Discussion Does a nuclear deterrent actually deter

    There is a nuclear proliferation treaty. Similar to the non proliferation treaty but somewhat in reverse. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend but an ally. Thus, I must arm my ally who was never my friend or enemy. Some arm nations with nukes for sport. It's all part of chaos theory.

    All 2026 Toyota RAV4s are electrified. So why is this a big deal?

    I do not have the old Consumer Reports buyers guide from your Isuzu Trooper vintage on hand. I remember the Isuzu Troopers were second to none when it came to poor reliability. Jeeps are loved by their owners and are a close second in poor reliability. The car parts stores always remind...

    Boeing problems...

    The Dreamliner is the most advanced Boeing plane. Everything is monitored remotely as well as onboard. I am guessing airline maintenance neglect that resulted in a dual engine failure. Whatever systems control the fuel pumps failed. I do not think it was bad fuel. If it were bad fuel, it would...

    Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    If it's true (N4P). I would expect to see power consumption numbers inline with the 4060 cards from Nvidia. I guess you could compare them to the 5060/5060ti as well. The 4060 cards were on the 4N node which should be equal to or slightly inferior to N4P for power consumption and performance...

    Techspot's review of the RX 9600XT says that it's made on N4P. Is this true?

    Question What's the best "Bang for your Buck"used video card under $100 and under 120 Watts these days?

    Question Gaming PC randomly shutting off... again.

    I am sticking by my conclusion that it has something to do with windows 11 24H2. The reason is I am experiencing the same problem. Running totally stock and when idling it just shuts down every few days. Not during gaming but during idle time. My guess is the many updates to fix the 24H2 bug...

    This tariff thing can get real ugly really fast.

    Question Gaming PC randomly shutting off... again.

    I think it may be a 24H2 issue. I am running a Zen 3 system that was bullet proof. I have had some phantom restarts for no reason since installing 24H2. Since you are on Intel, it may not just be an AMD issue with 24H2. I am guessing it's a 24H2 issue. I even did a clean Windows 11 24H2 install...

    Question Gaming PC randomly shutting off... again.

    I have suspicions that it could be a Windows 11 build/update issue that is causing your computer to randomly shut down and restart. I am on AMD but it may affect Intel builds the same way. Are you running Windows 11 24H2? Microsoft always fixes their bugs in Windows 11. Some updates cause...

    Question Windows 11 installation without Microsoft account

    The easiest way is to install an older version of Windows 11. A couple of years old and you will be good to go. Obviously you will need a lot of updates.

    News Intel GPUs - waiting for B770

    Let's think about this for a minute. Intel is using TSMC for their GPU's. That's good but they will have 18A online by the end of the year. So Intel would have a market advantage using their own silicon moving forward if they were to choose to go that route. Battlemage has been a huge leap...
