  1. Do I need to setup anything other than making sure I am representing Team 239902?
  2. 4070 Ti was the full AD104 die and was originally slated to be the "4080 12GB". 4070 Super was definitely a good uplift, but I still don't like the $600 price.
  3. What a joke. Guess only thing going for it is 16GB and if you care about RT, that aspect will outperform a 7900 XT. Otherwise 7900 XT looks like the better card to get for raster and 20GB. Honestly would have expected it to close the gap on the 4080 better than it did, but guess not. So far the Super series refresh is wholly underwhelming. Hope sales continue to slump.
  4. Still looks the other way to me. Could maybe be table width when viewing on my laptop?
  5. Looks good. One thing I noticed is threads with "solved" icon look like this. Not sure if you wanted it above the thread title, or in-line?
  6. I can try here and there, but I can't run all the time like you guys so don't expect much in the point department sadly. so.... in - SirB
  7. Personally never even heard of that forum before.
  8. The store has its own, yes, which are the ones you screenshot. Fluxmaven did his own run of stickers for one of the folding contests a while back before the merch store was a thing. Used them for prizes and such.
  9. Yeah I am in this same boat after selling mine off. Crypto is too volatile and I don't really believe in it's premise anymore like I maybe once did a long time ago. Money is always centralized somewhere. Oh trust me, tech stocks are part of my investment portfolios. Things have been doing very well lately. My 401k is the same way. I choose all the funds that I want as part of its portfolio and on the stock side of things, I'm definitely in all those as well. If I were to just buy individual company stocks again, I definitely agree that Microsoft, AMD, and Nvidia make a ton of sense similar to how Amazon and Apple have been in the past. While there certainly can and probably will be a bubble of sort as eventually everyone and their mother getting into AI has to find a breaking point somewhere at which point the serious guys that can do anything with it, will continue to do so, meanwhile the rest will probably somewhat be like the dot com bubble and crypto/blockchain, but like those...hasn't gone away. Obviously we all still use the internet, and crypto hasn't gone anywhere. For better or worse, AI is here to stay.
  10. Yeah I got into crypto in 2017 with about $1200 total and sold it off in 2021 for about $5500. But that was my only foray into it. Forgot what the taxes were on that, but wasn't bad. Stocks at this point I have a few but not much. Most of my investments are in other avenues as opposed to individual stocks.
  11. Yeah I didn't really know how to buy or mine Bitcoin in 2009, 2010, and I didn't really know how to buy stocks in 2012. Things I regret to this day.
  12. Makes sense. As far as raster goes, you basically on average have the 2nd fastest gaming card in the world. Its faster than the more expensive 4080 for raster.
  13. Makes sense and telling they didn't drop to $699. It's telling on Nvidia's end that there probably won't be a lot of MSRP models 4070 Supers so that $599 will probably be more like $650, and same for the 4070 Ti Super at $799, bet it will be more like $849. So AMD clearly thinks $749 is sufficient and all the naysayers online in places like Reddit saying they needed deep cuts, probably not true. AMD doesn't seem overly worried and this is just more or less confirming street pricing of the 7900 XT as the new MSRP.
  14. That's interesting, but it brings up another thought I had. Maybe we should just be moving away from ATX standard. Take a look at how a regular ATX orients DIMMS against natural airflow where some one off motherboards like EVGA Dark and Classified series rotated the socket and DIMMS to a better orientation for airflow. And of course you have other standards like BTX that just never took off. I think it would be interesting to see ATX evolve finally as we have moved towards things like m.2 drives, single GPUs, and now looking at how memory can evolve on desktop. Maybe there's a better way to do things than ATX form factor and motherboard layout.
  15. I'm a big fan of mint tea. How is that one?
  16. God, no wonder Voyager comes back as V'Ger in the 23rd century.
  17. Extremely similar to Turing Super refresh then. 2060 and 2060 Super stayed around in tandem while 2060 Super was single digital percentage slower than the original 2070. Meanwhile the 2070 Super was single digit percentages slower than the 2080 and the original 2070 was EOL'd. And then the 2080 also got EOL'd for the 2080 Super which was marginally faster as the fully unlocked TU104 chip. Almost like this should have been your original lineup Nvidia Will be interesting to see where AIB card prices end up landing on average for this.
  18. I still don't like the fact that they are taking away my nanometers. I mean Pentium 4 started out with 180nm and then towards the end was all the way down to 65nm. That is quite the rip off! I hear they are barely giving you 10nm these days!
  19. I get what both of you are saying, I think you are too hyper-focused on t-shirts that you are missing what Jan is saying. T-shirts are one thing. All @iamjanco was saying is that t-shirts as part of the whole branding and marketing strategy should have a cohesive design strategy starting out. Part of what makes a brand identifiable is that you can see a logo + a color theme and immediately know what it is. Cohesive with the rest of the branding being done and the other marketing tactics that will also be using EHW designs in its efforts makes sense here. And then its usually the more creative design ideas that maybe break a bit from core branding/design cues then become the one off t-shirts as your brand establishes. Anyway I don't disagree that you can obviously have more than 1 t-shirt design. Just keep them fairly consistent in theming starting out.
  20. Podcast sounds interesting. I can be the resident "back in my day, a candy bar graphics cards cost a nickel!" guy. I'm kidding, I would love to participate though. Another things video could be used for is tech news like our news section if we could make it interesting.
  21. Fair, that's not my area of work so I have no insight into that. We use AWS in my department. Other departments in our org are Azure or GCP, but we are probably at the bleeding edge compared to where those orgs are at and AWS has worked great for us. You are right in it costing an arm and a leg though. See that's another part I don't really see is licensing. When I wanted a premium Power Automate license so I could use the ServiceNow integration, we just pinged a group to handle that. Anyway, I don't at all disagree with the notion we should have comparable competitors. We just umm...don't. When we do, I'm all for checking that out.
  22. No business in their right mind would ever start moving to Google Cloud in this day and age when AWS and Azure are established and Google throws around "if we don't get the same number of customers, we are just going to shut down cloud services". Yeah I'm sure that's inspire a lot of confidence and bring in tons of business customers. Now I'd say the likelihood of that happening is clearly very low, but it doesn't matter. In my opinion, Google can't be taken seriously while they are throwing around that kind of talk. Plus Google has an established history at this point of not a lot of "stick with it-ness" to a lot of their product offerings. That's not good for business. As for other business apps, I gotta say if there was a time where Slack was vastly better than Teams, at this stage that's not even close to true anymore and since our enterprise uses both I can say Slack is almost ripping off design cues from Teams these days. What else...office software? Office365? We've been using the hell out of Power Automate this year, it's been fantastic for us automating (albeit, can be a bit janky to setup), but integrates extremely well with Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, etc. Honestly I don't have any complaints aside from the time services go down.
  23. Most of the rest of the company is on Windows machines. Our department was a couple of startups that got bought like 6+ years ago and we still use Macbooks which I'd guess came from the startup days. I honestly don't know cost difference though as my understanding is that the enterprise leases machines vs buying them. This is like my 3rd refresh since I started 4 years ago. Yes I agree now that we've seen 3 gens of Apple silicon that it seems most improvements are coming from TSMC process node improvements. I think Apple silicon is certainly good for their MacBook products, but otherwise don't seem to be improving much on their own since initial release. As for the rest of your points, I agree wholeheartedly. Microsoft has really done a good job of branching their business in to long-term strategic revenue streams.
