  1. Public Relations:"This kinda sh^t can REALLY hurt us if it goes public..." Nvidia Corporate: "Don't worry,the Fan Boys will keep us in the black for @ least another 3 years.By then,nobody will remember this and we'll have 5 more generations of cards on the market."
  2. Was on the OTHER site,and went and modded 3 bios to add the xeon support for a peep,just to find out we can't post zips anymore?? ended up using dropbox and sending him a message with the link.
  3. Reading this sitting here patting my 2700x build on the case saying "It's ok! You're still safe for @ least a few more years..."?
  4. I see this (the over clocking) more in use in the small computers going up against the intel NUC's . Asus & ASRock both have Ryzen based competitors already on the market. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-ryzen-4000-powered-asus-mini-pc-challenges-intels-nuc
  5. I love MS's simplicity to run, but @ times like this as a user I feel like I'm living in this song.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
  6. in case that's a serious question, the xt is sorta their "extreme" designation. like nvidia's "ti" cards.At least that what it appears to me.
  7. I was just looking around, Dell is selling this Flight Stick on their site. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/thrustmaster-t-flight-stick-x-joystick-12-buttons-wired-for-pc-ps3/apd/aa056580?gacd=9614064-1012-5761040-266794588-0&dgc=st&ds_rl=1291002&gclid=Cj0KCQiAtqL-BRC0ARIsAF4K3WG0Bqct-j0OUYu8Vq0s7jiFbqNdPooC55CWxeDROujOB-46CmMAvvgaAvfCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
  8. lol,if you get bored flying from airport to airport, maybe try this I just ran across & let us know if it's any good? https://store.steampowered.com/app/895870/Project_Wingman/?fbclid=IwAR1_HPLZW_zZ73kUNzz6g-oqV2VJ1KWdgn1y9RKXUF_7pC2d_EMgwDEMEhQ&gsid=1eb34a84c3e26dec9ec3fee57b026df6 ?
  9. “Intel continues to partner with Microsoft to advance the security of Windows PC platforms. The introduction of Microsoft Pluton into future Intel CPUs will further enable integration between Intel hardware and the Windows operating system.” – Mike Nordquist, Sr. Director, Commercial Client Security, Intel. ^^^^^^^^^ Because we ALL know how secure Intel is with their cpu's.... "Besides Meltdown and Spectre, other transient attacks were eventually discovered during the past two years, including the likes of Foreshadow, Zombieload, RIDL, Fallout, and LazyFP." "LVI's position in all these attacks is, technically, of a reverse-Meltdown. While the original Meltdown bug allowed attackers to read an app's data from inside a CPU's memory while in a transient state, LVI allows the attacker to inject code inside the CPU and have it executed as a transient "temporary" operation, giving attackers more control over what happens." 3 Patches and counting in less than 1 years time.?https://www.engadget.com/2020-01-27-intel-third-mds-patch.html Not to mention the old processors they threw under the bus because it was too much trouble for too little return.https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-not-patching-spectre-older-cpu/ I trust MS partnering with the cpu makers for security about as much as I trust those "free" money emails I keep getting along with the girls who want to meet me.?
  10. ^^^^^^^ sounds quite possible,it seems I remember the times it's happened with me there have been images posted in the general area of where I was going to read. BTW, I'm using the latest update of FireFox with ABP enabled.
  11. Right, seems like it's really random though on how often it happens. I thinks it's done it twice in the last 2-3 days of ck'n threads with me.
  12. On mine, the read icon is unread items. My new items in threads I'm following show up in the bell shaped notifications icon(either so & so responded to my post,or so & so posted in such & such thread). Only items I'm not already subscribed to show up in the red balloon icon. I look in the balloon when nothings happening where I already been. ?
  13. lol,some things outta your list I still use, IDE cable,VGA cable, cd rom,using a 290w psu in a system as we speak(compact),I BELIEVE it's a ati 3650 that I'm using in a dell with a p4 cpu. DDR2 ram in 4 systems. They're all running Windows 10 is the sick part. ? Maybe not the speediest,but for basic browsing,they get by.
  14. I downloaded the image using the browser on that Mint comp,stored in in Pictures, uploaded 1 from there,then drag it from there also. Maybe a FireFox/Arch issue?
  15. Gonna try posting a different pic from the SAME network, but on a comp running Mint Mate 20 with FireFox 83.0 for Mint on it. No addons. Lets see how it works.
  16. Images of the 512GB SSD drive I purchased & received from China. (Yes,I'm disputing it. lol) FireFox 83.0 on Edition Windows 10 Home Version 20H2 Installed on ‎6/‎12/‎2020 OS build 19042.630 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0 Device name Processor AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor 3.70 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display One picture drag and drop, 1 picture uploaded.
  17. rotfl, I finally forced myself to toss a running p4 Willamette system 2 years ago (after pulling the rdram sticks)because I couldn't convince myself I'd find a use for it when there were a pair of core2duo systems sitting next to it like "why are we with this geriatric case..." I didn't list all the different cables 'cause I'd still be sorting them.?
  18. I'm the last person to help with a mobile phone.I'm still using this dino... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Prevail
  19. lol, in my case,kinda hoarding. I have a few WD 20Gb ide drives that each have XP sp3 installed on them a friend gave me when they upgraded the comps @ the college he was working at.I have some floppies but no drive for them,8 & 16 Mb video cards still sitting in a bin with some modems and other parts.And that's just off the top of my head.? I also rebuild old comps & give them away,but I try to upgrade them as much as possible,so most of the parts sitting around probably need to be recycled.I just need to work up the get go.?
  20. Going through a box,I ran across some interesting things. #1 Try AOL 90 DAY RISK FREE! (Disk is still sealed in the envelope with the code for me AND a friend on the back!) lol #2 Getting Started Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (Product key is on the book) #3 ATI Radeon X1300 Pro Agp graphics card.(This is gonna blow the new nvidia cards outta the water,I can just FEEL it!) This isn't even my oldest stuff. I DID let the agp dial up modem go. Feel free to list some of your back of the shelf items!
  21. Hmmmm, 1600 sponsors X's $500 = $800,000. (sigh) gotta find a way to cut more corners.... ?
  22. ROTFL, I can hear you now... 'damn it! I'll take care of that image loading issue once and for all!" (Goes and builds a petabyte storage server...) "Rolling cache issue my ass... "
  23. Reading this thread made me want to know more about the whole minimum/maximum/actual requirements for it. I dug around a bit on line to see what I could find. Went here found some interesting results,https://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=35975&game=Microsoft Flight Simulator&p_make=Intel&p_deriv=Core+i7-4770K+4-Core+3.5GHz&gc_make=Nvidia&gc_deriv=GeForce+GTX+980+Gigabyte+XTREME+4GB+Edition&ram=16&screenRes_width_FPS=1920&screenRes_height_FPS=1080&checkSubmit=#systemRequirements Then from the comments there I took the included screenshot.
  24. lol, I went on line looking for an 8 pin to six pin converter before I looked again and realized 1 of the 8 pins was a 6+2 pin. I was like "F*^K me..." cause I spent close to 20 minutes trying to figure out HOW I was gonna power the video card.?
