Happy Holidays & A Happy New Year From EHW

[ENTERPRISE]

Hello all, 

 

Firstly, we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season and a happy new year! 
 

This year has been a trying time for all, putting Covid-19 aside for a moment, we have all been frustrated with poor stock levels for newly released products, pesky no good scalpers buying up all the stock that should be going to genuine PC builders and enthusiast and underhanded tactics from tech providers, just to name a few. Finger crossed that 2021 will bring a little normality to the tech community with a view to everyone having fair chance on getting their hands on the latest and greatest goodies.
 

Covid-19 has been a challenge for us all in a multitude of ways. It has been a change to our way of life with respects to health, movement and logistics, just to name a few. The disruption caused is nothing less than extraordinary. However, we will pull through this. Online communities in my mind such as EHW and other alike on the web are hugely important. It gives us an escape from the everyday difficulties and lets us put down the challenges of life for a while and enjoy our interest with others, whether it be tech or otherwise. Our passion moving forward into 2021 will be very much the same, creating a platform and experience for all to enjoy and to continue the likeminded conversation that is everything technology related. 
 

2020 has been a bumpy road for us with respect to the transition to a new forum software platform as well as creating our homepage which helps us to showcase our review articles/pro content. It has been no small feat getting this setup. Furthermore, we had no less than 3 back end infrastructure changes. This came down to a "live and learn" scenario since beginning our journey. However, we are now very confident with our new infrastructure. We have a fantastic level of security and backup/redundancy infrastructure which will ensure we are serving all of you in the best way possible.
 

2021 will see further growth for ExtremeHW, we are looking forward to bringing online new features and tools that we believe will be useful to the community and add to the overall experience. Furthermore, as we move forward, we will grow our friendships with manufacturers that allow us to bring you relevant review articles as well as partnering with manufactures in order to give us special giveaway opportunities/promotional events. Our focus as always will be the community and our passion is to make it the best place we can for you guys! 
 

We want to thank all of you who have joined us thus far, after all it is YOU that makes a community and we are thankful for all of you. We also want to thank our premium supporters and those who have made donations as this helps immensely with the costs of site running and feature development.  Lastly, we want to thank our wonderful staff that help to bring you the Folding@Home competitions, Latest Industry News, Podcasts and our Review Content.
 

Once again, we wish you all a happy holiday and a happy new year. Please remember to stay safe and responsible as always, but especially during this festive time. 
 

All the very best,
Team EHW.

I was thinking about it but a friend of mine got it and even with the latest patch it is still really buggy, so I will wait a little.

Cheers everyone!

 

Blew my load on hardware earlier in the year between used parts from folks offloading for new releases, and Black Friday deals, so no new hardware for me. Got a few games though, including Horizon Zero Dawn, so hopefully that meets my expectations. Been enjoying the relaxed holidays so far though.

...got some extra 'free time' to enjoy FlightSim 2020 and Cyberpunk 77 (btw, no issues w/ 1.05 or 1.06 w/ CP '77). Also got a few Steam gift 'certificates' but haven't figured out yet which extra games to get... 

 

...how about you, any tech gifts ?

Well just prior to Xmas I bought myself 64Gb RAM (Team Group Dark Pro) and a new Oppo Find X2 Pro phone.
