Well, this certainly isn't concerning at all.

If you can source an S-VHS capable deck you could make use of the (marginally) cleaner S-Video output. It's a little sharper than regular VHS due to separating the brightness and color signals from each other, though that'll likely be of dubious benefit at best on regular VHS or VHS-C tape...

If you wanted to read Epstein's emails yourself, this is apparently everything that's publically available so far.

CCleaner used to be good, now it's just adware. Even if cleaning the registry was by and large a placebo, it did do a better job of removing temp files than Disk Cleanup did. These days if I need something like that I'll use BleachBit. I'll echo everyone here and say I use uBlock Origin, but I...

Turns out OCCT needs a license to do actual stability testing. Without one, you're stuck with a 1h test duration. I found this out to my detriment leaving the computer running what I thought were laps in OCCT all night and day while I was at work, but it actually just sat idle for 15 of the 16...

Got the 3770K in. Kicked it to 4.5GHz 1.35v just off the bat. Got it at 4.6 now, seems okay in testing so far, though Firefox did crash suspiciously the first time I was writing this post... that COULD just be a coincidence, though. Edit: no, no it's not. 1.35 was my limit for voltage for a...

I really need to make it up to see my dad more often than I do.

And regardless of how "violent" you think Pretti was, he was already disarmed and no longer a threat when he got magdumped. Maybe we shouldn't be magdumping protesters, just kind of like, at all?

ICE is being sent into places where they are meant to experience 'resistance' (aka, people not cheerfully giving up their friends and neighbors to the modern equivalent of the Gestapo) specifically to stir up enough trouble to justify a further crackdown and potential declaration of martial law...

This could be a gamechanger in getting a baseline image setup quickly and easily.

I've been using library sharing to share my own (not insignificant, ~490 titles now) library with my sister for years now. One thing I like to do is buy old games when they get cheap on Steam or GoG, and then grab more appropriate install media for the target platforms where appropriate and use...

It's not -- if I have to swap the board, I'm more likely to rebuild with my X470 board with the questionable SATA ports. I've sent the 3060 and 5700X I had on to a friend who needed it more a little while back, and my 1070 and 5500 are going out to another friend in similar straits sometime next...

Ivy Bridge with questionable-to-nonexistent ReBAR and potential UEFI GOP issues. Plus, the Arc is just wholly inappropriate for this class of hardware. And it consumes more power than I'd like. I also play a lot of older titles that still act strangely on first-gen Arc. I imagine I'd get a...

You're pretty much bang-on. DRAM and to a lesser extent NAND prices are in crisis right now and only getting worse and GPUs have been insanity for years, even at the low-mid end. I will say, if it's a light-use machine, just stick with the integrated graphics. An APU is 100% fine for 99.97% of...

What ISN'T working so hot is my old RX480. It has full driver support but I think my particular example must just be dying. Stressing it out and then asking it to use its encoding block to stream is a good way to make it corrupt the display, lock up the machine and then first completely shut off...
