Doing some research, this is apparently because these are the base models trying to drive 1080p panels with APUs on par with the Deck. For which its own 800p screen was already a challenge.

Have you bought one? I'm wondering what the catch is. I could swing one of these if I sold a couple other things I've got hanging around and I'm honestly tempted to do just that.

Jesus, a quad-blowout on new tires. Is insurance picking any of that up, or would making the claim just raise your premium to more than the tires are worth? And yeah, glad to hear you're physically okay from that. Could have gone way worse. We've got something brewing in the Gulf again. Right...

I don't even give it until Friday.

Looks like one they're reporting some problems with. Some people are having it halfway install and kill their start menu, other people are like you and having it revert itself in a loop.

This comes right as Google is pushing to drop ManifestV2 with the next few releases of Chromium, with everyone else to follow.

G2A is known to be full of listings where credit card fraud was used to procure the licenses. I can't say I care they they stole from Google, but I'm glad you used an account you don't care about, because when they figure it out, they're probably going to ban it.

I've been making myself use the PIII for actual computing tasks at home as it's a more distraction-free environment (i.e. less Internet capability to distract myself with) without being utterly isolated. Something about it makes it feel better to use than my modern machines, but I don't know...

The bubble is ripe for popping. My question is, when it does, will we see companies crawling back to the consumer market, or will they simply keep servicing the datacenters with the goal of keeping compute in the cloud where we'd have to rent it? I don't hold my breath on cheap used hardware...

Naw, the AI companies are just using their fake money they've been passing back and forth with nVidia to buy up literally entire production capacities for years at a time. They drove Micron out of the consumer sector entirely.

I don't have any suggestions there, just... lamenting, I suppose. Me personally, I kicked myself back to an Ivy Bridge box for the moment that's running DDR3 -- I'm hoarding my DDR4 very jealously indeed right now.

I know it's just the reality of the situation, but paying upwards of 400 dollars for a 32GB kit of RAM still strikes me as insane. I concur with Merc. Everything else is fine, for the most part, but I don't know that I'd trust even a good cooler like the Thermalright to keep that 9850X3D cool...

Ouch. At least in my case I only have the one domain to worry about and a relatively simple configuration (some MX records, a few TXT, a couple CNAMEs, one A, and a special DDNS A record tied to a subdomain). I'll have to remember that for bigger use-cases in future.

How did that shake out? Did you end up moving registrars? I'm STILL fighting with GoDaddy for that one client. My AC's drain line clogged last week and it was a fight to get it fixed and the water up from my carpet around it. The HVAC guy ended up putting a couple CO2 cartridges down one end...

I'm glad I got out when I learned I needed a pass to leverage hardware I already had for transcoding. Jellyfin may have its own problems with library management but at least I'm not paying for it.
