  1. What a great Debut Album...
  2. I feel ya,I pick at the wife calling her a cradle robber and she's like your fifty-six this year! I tell her I'm Fifty-sexy and she laughs.
  3. lol, ok, even windows central updated their story to reflect that it was a OS MADE using Win 98...... European Space Agency to upgrade Mars Express spacecraft from software made with Windows 98 | Windows Central WWW.WINDOWSCENTRAL.COM The Mars Express spacecraft has run on an OS built with development tools based on Windows 98 for 19 years.
  4. They were wondering what hardware it was using and guessed it could probably play Doom.... "The space agency didn’t go into a great deal of detail regarding the specs of the hardware receiving the update, however Tom's Hardware speculated it could have a Pentium 90 processor, meaning it could potentially run classic games such as Doom as well as explore the secrets of Mars."
  5. Mars probe running Windows 98 receives software update after two decades | TechRadar WWW.TECHRADAR.COM Windows 98 lives on in space "Patch management for the latest versions of Windows might be the concern of most of us located here on Earth, but meanwhile, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express spacecraft has received the first update to its Window 98-based system in 19 years." Who needs Windows 11??
  6. Don't know if I mentioned it,but that back plate you made for the card is awesome
  7. Or in some cases, your internet. Drive's like 'C'mon,c'mon,I'm waiting over here...."
  8. That was the best part, the study couldn't get ANY of the big companies to back it because of the possible negative feedback of killing all the test subjects.(It was used on ALL subjects in place of known treatments with some success rate at an early stage.) A small company finally agreed,but when the doctors went to start the test they'd been bought by a large corp. and had to remind the corp the company had agreed to back the test.
  9. Google places an engineer on leave after claiming its AI is sentient FINANCE.YAHOO.COM Blake Lemoine, a Google engineer working in its Responsible AI division, revealed to The Washington Post that he believes one of the... A priest and a AI walk into a bar.... "he admits to WaPo that his claims are based on his experience as a priest and not a scientist." At least NOW I know why Google search was down the other day!
  10. near as I can tell, it's not part of edge, maybe a 3rd party updater from when you were trying to get drivers?
  11. I ran across an article saying a store had the ps5 back in stock(I can't get it anyway,they are over seas)so I figured I'd see what it was going for and what was with it for when they came back in stock over here. I looked prices up myself on line for each item. PlayStation 5 Disc Console = $499.99 Horizon Forbidden West=$60.00 Death Stranding Director’s Cut=$50.00 Immortals Fenyx Rising=$25.00 Watch Dogs Legion=$15.00 Subnautica: Below Zero=$20.00 Grand Theft Auto V=$10.00 Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction with free steelbook=$60.00 U.S. OR 34 pounds where the "deal" is being sold Total price before tax = $739.99 REMEMBER I rounded the game prices up and DIDN'T search for sales except the GTA V was listed as on-sale from Sony until the 14th.... NOW the SALE price for this wonderful "bundle" = Sale price£662.95 which = $833.64 U.S. $6.35 short of a $100.00 profit by making you buy the ps5 as part of a "bundle" How many were forced to buy other computer parts they didn't need because they needed a video card? REQUIRING additional items to be purchased so you can purchase the item you want is outrageous. What happens when the grocery store starts requiring that we buy meat when when go to get a loaf of bread? Or Milk when we go to buy some hamburger?
  12. depended where I bought from, if the person lived in a state with slack enforcement of tax rule, ebay let it slide,if not I was charged. Now they seem to be letting everyone know the "free ride" is over. It's been that way on amazon,and newegg, so no surprise that ebay finally caved.
  13. Just another point to show how outrageous the whole NFT concept is. If you're hacked you can be ruined just like bitcoin. ANY electronic currency or medium is only as secure as the severs can be made or the devices storing the items/info. At least a bank can be insured, how would you insure an NFT? Legal documents that would change with each sale is a possibility but would become cumbersome after time.
  14. I prefer single player combat with a story. I barely get along with Destiny 2 and that's only because of the random matching. lol, I tend not to play well with others,either I let them down,or they let me down.
  15. That was my issue also. Plus,I had finished the game when the new DLC was released so figured I'd play it over with different choices for a different ending. (3 possible endings.)
  16. lol,I really need to concentrate on 1 game and finish it. I'm playing first Metro,Days Gone,Dying Light 1, Destiny 2(it just keeps on),Horizon Zero Dawn,Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor,and the 3 Tomb Raider reboots. Oh,not to mention I have to replay Witcher 3 and do the final pack they gave us there. I installed RDR2 but haven't really gave it a try yet. Maybe less time reading more time playing? I know I have to force myself to play shadow of Mordor because I read all the Tolkien books before the games were ever an idea and watching Shelob as a cocktail waitress is just annoying. If God of War picks up the pace,that'll be added to the play choices...
  17. yeah, it's where the new reboots don't quite have the same feel. I want my Lara looking like Bianca's Cosplay not a 10th grader....
  18. ROTFL, My first thought when I saw this post was when I told my wife I had over 300 hours in Witcher 3 she asked me "How many of those were spent in the whore houses?" And I actually stopped to think about my answer...
  19. Well,with settings on high(not ultra)and the fan curve up a little plus dlss set on balanced game play is smooth with no stutters or tears. shot's at idle ish...
  20. Well, I came home yesterday and the wife told me to click accept on my computer. She bought me THIS for my Birthday next week.... So,looks like I'll be starting another game soon.
  21. I know everyone tends to hate on Epic, but ya gotta love the freebies.... offer expires 6/2/2022
  22. Does this mean Intel's gonna be P'ing their cores???
  23. I still get decent 4k game play on my Ryzen 7 2700x and my RTX 2070 (Non Super) Most game play is on at least High for my settings with some ultra. Strange as it sounds, the only ones I had to tune down to medium-high settings were some of the Metro's and Witcher 3 (only because of the distance shots in Witcher)The Benches were all done at highest settings where possible.Display is a 27" 4k 60Hz BENQ HDR optional with a button.(I tend to leave HDR off because I'm only 2.5 feet away from the monitor so it's a bit overwhelming... )Added a txt file with 1 more benchmark result on it. Oxide's Starswarm benchmark for CPU's. Output_22_05_25_0836.txt
  24. I like it, nice game play,story line so far and no having to deal with others or grind like Destiny 2 has been. Epic has it on sale 50% off ($24.99) and CDKeys has it even cheaper -67% ($16.39) so it's not a bad price right now if you want to try it. This is the First one, NOT the new release game called Forbidden West.
