  1. Why would that make you less interested?
  2. 3000 series ryzen CPUs are selling for decent prices on eBay and there are plenty of cheap motherboards available.
  3. Maybe when you fly over NY city or something like that but in general over flat terrain I highly doubt it. It might download at a higher rate for a minute or so when you first load into an area but given how slow the planes move compared to how fast the map loads, I don't think the bandwidth requirement is all that high.
  4. Based on what I've seen I think this game basically has a cap on FPS, I don't think I've seen any benchmarks above 50fps in 4k max settings. I dont think 2x3090's would make a difference.
  5. I have a lot of DDR3 era parts, lots of heatsinks. A literally small pile of hyper 212s. Also thinking about selling my current cpu and upgrading. Anyone want a 7700k delidded? ?
  6. That's definitely not what I'm suggesting either, to be clear, though I agree that it's not a terrible idea.
  7. Personally I use charles schwab which is I think less user friendly than something like robinhood, but the fee structure is pretty fair. That said I think the fees are probably pretty negligible for basically any firm you can choose. https://topratedfirms.com/brokers/brokerage-firm-reviews.aspx Like I said earlier one good way to start is to just buy some shares in really stable tech companies like apple and Microsoft. They tend to grow faster than the market overall while still being really safe stocks. You can also just invest in an index fund like Vanguard Information Technology index fund, or "VGT".
  8. The ones that do still support it tend to be the ones that need it so it still makes some sense. I'm sure J7SC_Orion is happy it works well in flight sim with his dual 2080ti setup.
  9. Bitcoin definitely had a good day, but so did the stock market. My top three stocks today went up 18%, 17% and 10%. Bitcoin went up ~20-25% today which is great for bitcoin but a lot of stocks are not far behind by any means.
  10. I've been waiting to get into the electric vehicle scene sometime in the future as my next big move. If there is a dip sometime in that space I'll buy in, right now EV stocks seem like they're at the end of a rally, perhaps similar to paypal. Instead I bought into some companies that make the components used to make batteries and such for the EV industry.
  11. I've seen paypal come up a lot lately with them planning to implement e-coin transactions. I wish I had bought into that for sure but by the time I learned about it paypal had already shot up a ton so I figured I may have missed the boat. Such great stock to have bought anytime before the last 3 months or so though. Congrats on that.
  12. I actually had bed bath and beyond stock long before the reddit thing. Bought it at 11 and it went up to 54 at its peak like two weeks ago, and the next day was when robinhood and others stopped the trading for bed bath and beyond as well as others like gamestop and the stock fell fast. I sold it at 30 and then it went down further to 26. Made money on that but man it was a wild ride. Wish I had sold at ~50 but who could have known. When I sold the bed bath stock I spread it around into some medical companies and that's been doing really well for me since so it worked out in the end. I don't know anything special about stocks other than they go up a lot more than they go down so might as well invest in something. I just read about stocks online and make sense out of what I can and so far that strategy is really working.
  13. Back before I was old enough to have money and invest and amd was at $2 I tried to convince my dad to buy some and he didn't listen. I only got into stocks a couple years ago and started small with amd, ms, and intel and amd was at like 30 at th time IIRC. Now it's getting close to 100. Microsoft has doubled for me since I started with it. Eventually I put some real money in and spread it around about 15 companies that personally make sense to me.
  14. If you don't know anything about stocks just put say 1k into a stock account, spend half on apple and half on microsoft and just watch it grow until you feel like investing more seriously.
  15. Won't be long before they come for the prebuilds now. While mining seems interesting I've been slowly learning more and more about stocks during this covid era. Stocks have been working really well for me so far overall. Up $700 just today alone. Most days my stocks go up about $2-$300 lately.
  16. If your using an HDR screen, turn HDR on so that you can adjust the brightness. Under display settings click like "more color options" or something, I forget what it's called but it's right there in display settings. You can adjust the brightness of anything that isn't coded for HDR, which is almost everything online.
  17. Source: Google Shuts Down Stadia In-House Game Development Seems like the first major nail in the coffin, and now they'll probably just wait another year or so for the small user base to die off completely before shutting it down. Not only do gamers generally not want google in this market, but the way they structured the pricing made absolutely no sense. Stadia has clearly been another google glass from day one.
  18. Word, so not too long of a list. IMO the only thing that sounds semi crucial is the web content embed wizard. If you ask me this site is already ahead of the competition in terms of layout and functionality and if you were to start marketing before that list was knocked out, I doubt it would make any difference. I can't imagine hardly anyone who would come across this site would leave because any of those things are still pending. The important stuff is already here.
  19. In your view what features are missing?
  20. A little off topic but I'm curious if there is any plan to grow the sites user base other than word of mouth? The layout here is so perfect, a little more traffic should send this site over the moon.
  21. That other place has no news sections. Seems like it's flying blind over there, just a left over URL thats controlled by a larger company now. Seems like there is less and less intelligent thought over there too.
  22. When the pandemic ends the price of bitcoin could fall. I think bitcoin is like gold in that it has more value in uncertain times. Bitcoin wasn't half of what it is now before the pandemic.
  23. I think there is actually a simple reason for this. I watched an interview with Bill Gates a while back in which he talked about Microsoft's late entry into the cloud/server business. He explained that MS was never planning to get into this market as they figured companies like IBM, Oracle and HP were better suited for it and MS didn't want to compete with their partners nor risk another anti-trust suite by getting too big in too many markets. Well... those other partner companies didn't act and Amazon noticed. Amazon never planned to get into servers but when they saw the space had been left open for so long, they acted. Bezos describes it as a 7 year gap in which that market was left wide open. Once Microsoft saw Amazon, a business that is just capitalizing on the lack of players in that market, start doing servers; Microsoft decided it was time to stop waiting for their partners to fill the gap and they quickly caught up with Amazon. So yea they could probably have done it a lot sooner if they hadn't been intentionally staying out of that market until Amazon stepped in.
