I'm still over here waiting for the 12900KFC edition we were promised way back when.

Glad you got your lug nut issue sorted out. Speaking of which you haven't got any.

I need to get a cadillac converter for my car. Too stinky!

I was going to say I run windows 10 LTSC and it has been five years of seamless buttery smooth OS. Never had so much as a hiccup in games and I love that it allows me to control what windows updates the machine gets. Closest thing we have to a win 7 pro successor.

I've got an original logitech G5 I bought new from Newegg circa 2005 and it is indeed lower latency than the new MX518. A large part of the appeal of these specific mice to me is the shape as they have a nice solid feel in the hand. That and of course they are as good as it gets My wireless mouse is a logitech G603 and I bought it specifically to control an android TV box over bluetooth. It's got dual mode you can select either BT or opt to use the fancy lightspeed low latency receiver. Ended up getting a new android TV box and no longer need it for that use so I've been using it via the little dongle on my main desktop and it's a solid contender and holds its own against the mx518 even while being wireless. Similar body shape and size as well.

Bit late to the party but I like a nice cup of coffee every once in a while. I usually opt for the costco stuff roasted by starbucks as it's fairly strong with a nice flavor. No sugar or milk for me, the sweetness ruins the good flavor IMO. Not too big on tea but I've had a few that were pretty good. The standard lipton tea with a bit of lemon added is not too bad. Sadly I'm hooked on the sugary soda drinks and that's my regular each morning. Been cutting way back, am down to a 2 liter every 3 days. Down from a 2 liter every 8 hours originally lol.

Didn't see one of these created yet so I made one. Am also curious to know what your mouse grip style is? And what mouse is your main one? I have a hybrid claw type grip because I got used to a mouse on a logitech G5 and that's generally the best grip on those. I'm a bit of a die hard cord guy in that I like the simplicity of a wired mouse, notably the new MX518 is a rather good wired mouse and I love mine. Although I did cross over to the dark side and buy a wireless gaming mouse and I do quite like it.

I'm a bit late to the party here but I assure you I fit in quite similarly to the general discussion. My skeleton is pretty rough and I've got pain from just about every region of the body. Had an accident on a trampoline when I was 12 and caused some severe damage to my spine and neck. I've got missing ligaments in both legs so my range of motion is way beyond normal and unfortunately that makes it all the more easy to cause injuries. Both knees pop and click; sometimes giving out entirely with accompanying pain. My lower back is a big issue for me and the pain is pretty severe. Can't sleep properly these days it hurts so much. Can barely sit let alone lie down. The only time it doesn't hurt is after a hot shower pointed at the lower back. Only trouble is my shower is on the second floor and climbing the stairs sometimes is a no-go. Back muscles lock up so tightly I can hardly twist to climb them. One thing I didn't see mentioned is dental issues. I've got a condition where the bone in my jaw is disintegrating rapidly, on top of some extremely brittle teeth. And unfortunately I've been fighting tooth infections for the past two years as a result. Woke up one day and thought I was having a heart attack, turns out the infection had spread from my tooth. Skin on my upper torso was bright red and my jaw and right side neck muscles were incredibly painful and rock hard. Thankfully amoxicillin is my life saver. This is all incredibly painful and eating is now a big ordeal as I have to be careful not to cause further damage to my already brittle teeth. I've got PTSD and a genetic heart defect as well. Currently in the process of applying for disability. It's all very new to me. From what I am told I have a fairly good chance at getting SSI so that's some relief.

Oh man I had no idea Biostar was still a thing. I had a Biostar board in an Athlon 64 x2 machine back in the day. Wonder if DFI and Abit are still a thing too. We lost BFG in the GPU wars. Lots of old brand names fell by the wayside since then.

Made spaghetti for sunday. Also because why not. I'm an adult and can do things like that Made up a plate It's a bit more watery than I typically serve only because it smelled so good I couldn't keep waiting for the sauce to cook down and thicken any longer. Pretty darn good though!

Oh man I had no idea. I've got a pile of old dead 3.5" hard drives that are just begging to get in on this deal.

Thankfully the sunroof on the Lexus doesn't appear to leak just yet. I've heard it's a trouble spot for this model as well and I figure I'll eventually have to DIY fix it myself. Though I do have to say I am definitely being spoiled driving around in this fancy car. Considering I've owned $300 trucks I could see the yellow stripes in the road through the bottom of the doors I'd say I've come a long way lol. Only real complaint is the PO got the roof mounted antenna ripped off in a carwash (how?!??) and now the radio only works kinda sorta okay for reception. Thinking I'll go to the pick n pull locally and see if I can find one on a Highlander or something.

Made a pizza. New brand called "Legit", they are normally $8 but were marked down to $5 as a new item discount and had another dollar off on top of that. Best pizza I ever had for four bucks!

100%. The specific games don't matter so much to me as the broader understanding of how this affects performance. And in my book performance is not just sheer FPS numbers but latency and responsiveness of the system as well.

The image just puts it over the top. I love this place sometimes. I ran no BOV or BPV on the nissan, let the turbo impeller surge as it needed. I was doing the lazy route lol. Really should have fixed that.. Edit: @Andrew look up extrude honing one time - that's the only good option for improving turbo performance with the stock manifolds. And because of the way it hones the inside of a manifold it's just an improved original part. Totally legal anywhere.

Interesting. I'm still on my ancient pixel 3 XL and aside from the battery it's been running pretty good for me. Considering its age I'd say it fared pretty well over time. Also agreed it's a money thing. They probably also expect a little bump in sales from people needing something newer once they stop getting security updates.

I'm a registered electrician we could change that.

Another vote for headphones + BT adapter. Absolutely adore my setup with a BTR5 + SHP9600. Could not be happier, the pairing is both durable and high quality.

On our Lexus we are paying $47 a month for the legal minimum insurance, in this case liability only. Age/ credit score/ address all matter for the rate you end up with. Also the UK gets ripped off.

I just found this thread. There is so much yet to read through! Loving it so far.

I love you guys so much, you all get my humor. I still have a P4 prescott sitting in my junk drawer to this day. All the nanometers!

Boy they could almost have had the Pentium 6 out by now. I think they're just downright dawdling on their releases.

As per title, when do you guys think the Pentium 5 will release? Getting sick of waiting for an upgrade for this Pentium 4.
