Reading the posts here and my own drive usage, I don't see an issue as long as the temps aren't swinging from one extreme to the other with the humidity. That's the only thing I can see causing any condensation issues. I've used ide drives that were more than 10 years old and was annoyed when the ribbon cable broke before the system. Maybe just run a disc scan when you fire it up each year to do for damage.

Talk about timing, wife tossed me a shirt to change into cause she was doing laundry. It was my EVGA GEFORCE RTX Shirt I won entering the drawing. Ended up with 2 of them.

The last thing I should have to do is turn off the option to connect to wireless devices that are in reach but not currently connected to my network. That option is on by default with Amazon. WHY would I even want to create a connection to some wireless printer in my apt building that I have no clue who owns it?Why would I let other devices randomly connect to the Internet with my service?

Don't know if this is the kind of result you're looking for, but maybe a VPN? One of the free ones that don't track or sell? I use one cause I'm too lazy to put my I.D. into the browser for the state to make sure I'm old enough to see porn. That and it's none of their business what I look at. I only turn it on when going where they want to track me. Then it's back to normal connection the rest of the time.

Along with the performance, I miss their b stock page. Being able to find refurbished warrantied products right in one place was awesome. The closest thing now I've found is Zotac's page for refurbs.

When I was looking at prices and upgrade routes the 5070ti was what I compared against in real world price.

The sad thing about this is that I have been using Nvidia for all new graphics for 20years. This has me looking at bundle deals to go from am4 to am5 and a Intel b580 for less than the cost of a 5070ti.

I use a fire tablet with the playstore sideloaded on it. I use the kindle app for amazon kindle unlimited and purchases from them, and FBReader for all other books and pdf's.

Annnndd they've already removed the option to transfer books from your library to pc by usb. lol,nice to know they were ahead of their own schedule.

I hate that they're doing this, but when files like Kindle library final torrent are out there with over 8000 books in it you kinda understand there might be an underlying reason.

I've been pissed since the 2070 Super released barely 9 months after my 2070. Someone should have used some protection to keep Nvidia outta the maternity ward so soon.

I appreciate that the Deck is a more comprehensive PC than I thought it to be (Thanks to LabRat's post on my survey!) but doesn't that make the Steam OS release of software & Firmware updates 3 years in about equal to Microsoft's Feature updates in Windows? "These updates typically include new features, visual improvements, and significant enhancements to improve the overall experience and security.If you use Windows Update, the system will download only the files necessary for the upgrade depending on your current configuration, making the download package up to 35% smaller." In other words based on your hardware and software already there.Seems like again they are doing what others are doing already lol. I would purchase a deck over the other options on the market without a second thought after looking at all the reviews,just something about the original story annoyed me. maybe I'm just being too judgy.

Welcome! Hope all of us can make you feel at home here.

I just looked up some games using it.Along with Warframe,here's a list of some other games. It was also saying that some of the games might use the CPU to process the physics sims. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (2013) Batman: Arkham Origins (2013) Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord (2020) Metro Exodus (2020) Borderlands 2 Mirror's Edge The Witcher 3 Batman: Arkham City Batman: Arkham Knight Fallout 4

let's see what everyone thinks....

Is the Steam Deck a viable PC that can do more than say the xbox with it's browser access? Or is it just a glorified hand held console for PC games?

My question is if they sell the foundry and it doesn't keep producing, will Intel be on the hook for the money and tax breaks they got to increase their production in the USA?

I'm sorry but the story makes them sound like they're going the extra mile because they're updating hardware that's "three years old". Both Xbox and ps consoles are older and still getting updates and my Amazon tablet is older than them all and just received an update yesterday. While its nice to see them supporting the deck,the gushing over it seems kinda over board for something I'd HOPE to see from a main stream company. I do appreciate seeing it here so I can make sure my son knows about it.

And 5 years from now Nvidia will send out a tweet saying "Move along, nothing to see here." As a man is spraying down a power connector with a chemical fire extinguisher.

We need to remember the dark horse in the room. Nvidia and amd need to realize people won't pay several hundred dollars more for a card that only performs 10-15% faster. Right now I can get a B580 for $341 in stock,or if the Intel cards come back they list at $249 pre tariff price. Lets see what a 5060 or 5070 list for.

We've purchased from them before without an issue,they've been in business going on 10years.

CD KEYS has the 3 month subscription on sale for $30 which is a pretty good deal over the monthly rate. 10 vs 19.99 a month.

lol,took me a bit,but I was thinking of FF7 remake with the image with the getty images watermark still on it.

Annndd? How's that much different from just scanning the entire web and saying everything there is fair game to re-use and charge for it even if it was a copyrighted image?(Remember they tried that at first?)

Thankyou!
