  1. Rumors are MSRP will be $800, but MSRP hardly seems to matter right now. I don't think the early adopters issues will be too bad since I think the architecture is similar to what Intel has been using on IGPs IIRC.
  2. That's cool tho, once you get into the game you start learning a lot even if it's just from watching the numbers move around. No one wins at it all the time but over time hopefully you will win most of the time.
  3. I did a quick search, I couldn't find the side panel either. I did find this: [Small dent on side panel]Corsair 5000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Black WWW.EBAY.COM <p>[ Small dent on side panel]Corsair 5000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Black.</p><br /><p>Small dent on side panel</p><p>Comes with original box.</p> If you want to spend ~$150 you could buy this and just use it for the side panel which should be the same as yours.
  4. U.S. Department of Justice Likely to File Antitrust Lawsuit Against Apple WWW.MACRUMORS.COM The United States Department of Justice is accelerating its antitrust probe into Apple and there is... it would seem when the apple v epic thing kicked off, a lot of other questionable business practices from apple were exposed. **Puts stop order on apple stock**
  5. Xbox Reportedly Developing a Wu-Tang Clan Themed RPG - IGN WWW.IGN.COM A new action-RPG focused on the influential hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan is reportedly in development, and will feature music created by members. I guess Microsoft really is branching out... sounds dope.
  6. New MacBook Pro chips deliver desktop performance with better power efficiency APPLEINSIDER.COM Apple's new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips in the <a... I Interesting to watch this play out. Cool that Apple made a good chip but it seems sorta wasted since there isn't much to do with it on an apple device. Still, interesting to see the state of ARM SoC tech.
  7. A quote from Warren Buffet: "Don't try to predict the bottom." I would also be somewhat happy about a big dip because I'd be ready to buy into it but there is plenty of profit to be made in the mean time. If Intel dropped more I would have bought in, but it looks to be stable now. Still seems like a great long term buy but the short term is hard to feel as confident about.
  8. Artificial intelligence: 2D images transformed into explorable 3D worlds | New Scientist WWW.NEWSCIENTIST.COM A neural network can turn a selection of photographs of a scene into a 3D world that can then be viewed from... Imagine if they could do this with msfs2020...
  9. Edit: little correction on the pics. The further out one is real, the rest are very accurate data driven renders.
  10. Planet found orbiting 3 stars at once, with giant dust rings - Big Think BIGTHINK.COM Move over, Tattooine, and instead feast your eyes on GW Orionis, where the largest dust rings ever seen settle an ancient exoplanet debate. ALMA, in which ESO is a partner, and the SPHERE instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope have imaged GW Orionis, a triple star system with a peculiar inner region. The new observations revealed that this object has a warped planet-forming disc with a misaligned ring. In particular, the SPHERE image (right panel) allowed astronomers to see, for the first time, the shadow that this ring casts on the rest of the disc. This helped them figure out the 3D shape of the ring and the overall disc. The left panel shows an artistic impression of the inner region of the disc, including the ring, which is based on the 3D shape reconstructed by the team. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada, Exeter/Kraus et al. The video is obviously a 3D render but based on extremely accurate data which is why it looks so real. The further out image is real, the rest are data driven renders. Long story short, this is the first time a trinary star system with a planet orbiting around it has ever been seen. It's just lucky that it's also one we can get really cool pictures of. The existence of the planet is somewhat controversial because it has to exist but cannot be found. Normally when a star forms it will end up with an accretion disk of material orbiting it, and that is essentially the same here but because the accretion disk is orbiting a trinary star system instead of just one star, it ends up with this huge tilted wave that makes it look like something out of a sifi movie. As I understand it the planet has not been found but it has to exist based on the orbits. Presumably they can detect the effects of it's gravity.
  11. Sure any GPU will sell but can they make enough to make a decent profit during the chip shortage era is the question, right?
  12. Nice, curious to see how much your temps drop. I just order an SSD from amazon (for a customers PC, hard drive is failing) and there were a lot fewer options available for fast shipping. Supposedly this holiday season is going to be really rough for amazon for multiple reasons. I wonder if I should order an couple spares SSDs for now...
  13. NVME RAID 0 would be pretty crazy haha. Ultimately I think it would be really niche because there are a lot of other dedicated PCIe options if you need something faster than a typically NVME solid state drive, but it would be really cool.
  14. My too. Upgraded both my PCs around the time the ryzen 5000 series came out and got some used 3000 series CPUs right around the time early adopters would be upgrading from 3000 to 5000. When I got my ryzen 3600 it was $160 used. Now the cheapest one I can find used is $210, almost a 25% increase for a used part in just ~ 6 months. I initially upgraded my first PC to a 3800x and didn't really plan on doing my second PC yet, but from looking at parts for my first PC I noticed it looked like prices were going to go up so I did my second PC right after and I'm glad I did.
  15. Intel stock heads for worst day in a year after earnings cause margin concerns WWW.MSN.COM Intel Corp. shares plunged toward their biggest one-day loss in almost exactly a year Friday after the chip maker's earnings report showed lower profit margins that are expected to last for years. More Intel news. Posted about this in the investing thread, but it seems newsworthy on it's own. Personally I think Intel's long term strategy is very strong and when their new fabs come online it seems like they'll be in a really good position but in the short term Intel may have rocky roads ahead with chip shortages and all that. I've got to imagine building new fabs and trying to enter the GPU race is a serious way simultaneously has to have an impact. Kinda funny, I saw an article a few days ago recommending Intel as a buy but it seemed like the author of the article was really underestimating AMD's ability to compete. A lot of articles about tech stocks seem to lack the kind of understanding of the state of tech markets that most PC nerds like us would probably be pretty familiar with.
  16. Looks like Intel stock is on sale today: https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/intel-reports-impressive-third-quarter-2021-financial-results.html Looks like their down 11% on earnings report at the moment.
  17. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger predicts the chip shortage will last until 2023 WWW.TECHSPOT.COM Speaking ahead of Intel’s Q3 earnings, Gelsinger told CNBC: “We’re in the worst of it now , every quarter next... First time I've heard 2023, seems entirely plausible though.

  19. I can't tell you how many faucets I've seen with poor quality components that only make all the issues with faucets worse. I didn't own a Dremel until I got deep into faucet replacements.
  20. Oh interesting. Are you being sponsored or something? What do you mean by "have access to?
  21. I'll definitely be sad if it turns out this way but I think Microsoft is really serious about delivering good games. They've seen Sony beat them at every turn in this race with great titles and I think MS has seen the light in that they see that they haven't had much going on in their side of the ring besides Halo. MS is a different company with Satya Nadella at the helm and Phil Spencer being more autonomous. I'm optimistic they are on a good path.
  22. Do you have any games currently in mind? I could probably write a review for far cry 6...
  23. Windows 11 Android app support rolls out to Windows Insiders WWW.TECHSPOT.COM From today, beta channel Windows Insiders can preview the Android app experience on eligible devices... I'm sure Google is not too happy about this.
  24. God Of War Coming to PC in January - IGN WWW.IGN.COM 2018's God of War is on its way to PC, arriving for Steam in January 2022. Looks like Sony really is going to be doing this more and more. It makes perfect sense, they don't make money from selling consoles but from selling games. Third title games are almost always multi-platform anyway so trying to lock consumers into a console to collect licensing fees on third party titles is probably a strategy that worked a lot better in the past than it does now.
