Probably because "save the planet" and "we're pumping more oil than ever" don't go well together.

lol@ this. My bet what is actually happening: cost cutting or future nitro feature.

I don't think this will happen. What they want is for PCs to be like phones, a closed system where you are pretty much locked into installing anything you want on your PC(and thus anything you buy as well) from their exclusive app store. The cloud thing just extra expense for no real benefit to them. However if there's an opportunity to push one drive you can be sure they will. And MS has been trying to move in this direction since windows 8.

it will be a banking experience where musk will get all of your banking data. I bet that's why he's so into it and the "do everything" super app approach.

you can overclock the panel to 180hz but it supports 165 without it.
edit: oh nevermind I see now, this is related to response time.

Someone that youtube blocks now is a customer for youtubes now/eventual competitor. You might say they're low quality since they won't pay or view ads, but they still share and maybe upload content.

agreed, paywall. Not subscribing to a dozen different news websites, and bloomberg wouldn't make the cut anyway.

For those looking at this, I bought it the other day and it has already shipped. no reason to think shopblt will delay shipping these imo. they already have them.

You know what would be hilarious? Eventually blue sky buys the leftovers of twitter and renames itself twitter. Although by that time it may not be a prudent move. So maybe not.

Lol, good luck at trying to get meta to listen to what users really want.
No backorders or preorders, 4200 in stock as of this post. Note that no heatsink comes with this CPU.

Basically because half the memory is on the back of the card(and isn't cooled adequately), it can overheat and cause stability issues or maybe even kill the ram.

it is common enough. I have a few people on my friends list that are exclusively desktop users. Plus even people with headsets will use desktop occasionally just because strapping up can be a hassle, or they're traveling.
I'm not ready to upgrade yet but I'm just wondering how bad the 3090 memory issues are, and what can reasonably be done about it. I asked once before and the response was basically "there aren't really any good options to deal with it", but I have a hard time believing that some heatsinks wouldn't take care of the issue. So I guess, what are my options? Is the 3090 so bad that I should just avoid it?

Pretty awesome deal, see these go for more than that used and the hardwareswap discord folks usually ask 120-130 obo. Please be aware that no heatsink or retail box is included.
I deliberately warm up my soda if it is cold.
Seems like a good price for mITX case. MIR sucks but eh...
So I am working on upgrading my pc and looking at power supplies. I see that some of them support PCIE 5 power and some do not. So my question is, if I get a PSU that is on the old standard and I later buy a GPU that only has PCIE 5 power, is using an adapter to fit the old power supply to the new GPU a bad idea? Or is this generally something that would be OK assuming quality components?
I'm in US-GA and I cannot find denatured alcohol locally. WTF happened? I need something 100% alcohol for cleaning electronics.
Sooo... I'm wanting to give vrchat a shot, but I haven't upgraded my PC in a long time since I haven't needed to. And I mean, I guess if it can't be done then it can't be done. So here's what I have now: ryzen 1700x w/16gb of ram and a b450 mb. I can go to 32gb if needed, it has 4 ram slots. The GPU is a rx 570 4gb. PSU: uh... I'll have to look. it was ok at the time, it's like a 550w psu. So clearly that isn't going to give a very good PC VR experience. I mean I'm sure it would run vrchat on desktop just fine but that isn't what I want. So here's what I WAS thinking: ``` 5700/xt - $150 ish used - unfortunately the power consumption on this is kinda high and makes me think a new psu would be in order. but throwing it out there anyway. 5600/x - 130 ish used extra 16gb of ram if I need it - $30-40 Oculus quest 2 - preowned(I'm fine with preowned for everything). $150-$200 AX router or usb adapter in ad-hoc dedicated to airlink - $30-60(adapter -> basic router) ``` So that comes out to be about $550 ish usd. Really, not terrible. But after more research I can already see some issues with this. For one, I've heard about lots of issues with pc VR and amd cards. 1. HEVC encoding performance. 2. driver issues. Secondly, just simply issues with VR chat and amd cards. 3. vram issues. I've been reading that 12gb is the bare bare minimum for an ok-ish vrchat experience. And I guess it isn't such a big deal but it seems like the ordering for performance and CPUs goes - 1. AMD x3d cpu 2. intel 12th gen or better 3. AMD non-x3d cpus well behind So... making adjustments for all that. ``` the lowest cost alternatives 12gb GTX 2060 - $160-200 or 12gb 3060 - $280 Titan X pascal 12gb - $170-200 The soon to come 5600 x3d - $230 ``` So the main issue with the titan x pascal is that it uses 250w+ and will likely require a better psu. Also, it is very old at this point and But to be fair so would the 5700, although I could go with a vanilla 5700 instead of the xt. I guess what is disappointing in all of this is that for about $250 used I could get a 6700xt 12gb and that would blow all of that stuff out of the water in most games. Yeah, I would need a better psu but at least I'd be getting something out of it. so what is the budget? I mean, the truth is I could technically afford to spend up to$1000 upgrading my pc, but personally I don't think that is worth it just for vrchat. So I'm trying to walk this tightrope of get stuff as cheaply as I can without being too cheap. And here's the thing. Let's say I get the 3060, the 5600 x3d and 16gb of ram. Now we're looking at nearly $800 and the resulting pc upgrade is rather paltry. Like, a 12gb 3060 is just a terrible value. But hey, I can be reasonably assured that it will work. If I managed to find a good deal on a 2060 12gb - and just went with the 5600 then not much changes for the price, I just lose a bit of the performance, but I'm not sure the 2060 12gb is going to cut the mustard either? Also, if things have changed and an amd card will work well then I might as well do that. Anyway this has gotten rather long winded, not to mention I might also want to spend a bit on a better harness, some facepads, etc things like that which I haven't even gotten into. and virtual desktop is $20, not sure how needed that is anymore.

So I guess this is half frugal and half just wanting a guilty pleasure with as little effort as possible, but I used to eat some box noodles that I had to cut out because the price went way up on them. It's so ridiculous, used to be like $2 a box before the pandemic, now it is hard to find for less than $5. Anyway the product is taste of thai peanut noodles. I can link to it if needed. But here's why I liked it. 1. I'm on a limited diet, so no wheat, dairy, and a few other minorish things due to food allergies. This eliminates most box noodles and a lot of good options for portable meal things. 2. good # of calories. 600ish calories in a box. Not too much sodium, less than most box noodles. Not that I need to watch sodium but ya know. The amount most things like canned food and instant noodles have is just downright suffocating. 3. tasty and filling. What can I say? it's peanut noodles, way better than most box noodles. imo anyway. 4. very portable. I just need water and a microwave and I'm good to go. Presto! I have a cheap meal I can take with me when I'm on a small trip. Also no need to keep it cold or in the freezer. So what I want is to basically mimic this in a "build it yourself" sort of way. I mean it doesn't have to be exact, and really I'm also open to other suggestions. And yeah I know I could just cook it on the stove but that is not so easy to just take with me. Before folks suggest sandwiches: Yeah, but I don't regularly buy GF bread because it is pricey. So that means I have to specifically go out and buy a loaf just to prepare to take a meal somewhere. Then I have to eat the rest later or it will go bad. Whereas the box noodles... I can buy a dozen of them and they can sit in the cupboard all year long.
