I don't know if the deal is still going on, but Newgg had a combo deal for similar mobo, RAM, and CPU for like $50 off on Saturday.

This should be fine as long as it means Dave spends less time writing his crazy ideas by himself. Also hope he never hires the people who wrote the Obi-Wan show either.

Either should be good options when you plug your device directly into them. The picture (120hz, VRR, etc) features aren't much of a big deal. When you get a new TV with eARC, you can just plug your devices into the TV which will then pass Atmos to the sound bar.

Definitely possible, my cheapish Vizio Atmos bar has two HDMI (in and out) for such a thing. But as usual, look up the specs and/or manual for what you're buying to verify.

The best thing to be thankful for - random good luck.

My point was death and long covid symptoms aren't a poor data set (although still incomplete), which is what you can experience with the actual virus, not my personal experience which was provided for contrast to his personal experience.

I think we can pinpoint the idiocracy (never actually seen it despite its reputation) moment to the engagement "For You" algorithms.

A better way to look at it would be what if all of you had gotten the actual virus (which is mostly guaranteed to happen), which fucks up the body even more. My brother didn't get the shot and was in the hospital for a week. I got the shot and while my O2 levels dipped when I got the actual virus, my pneumonia never developed past some light shortness of breath.

I saw a few of the clips and nobody even attempted to analyze - or even summarize - the Letter to America. It was entirely "OMG, he was [totally] right". Some were just videos of seemingly genuine personal surprise [that the U.S. sucks], while others were clearly videos made with the sole purpose of delivering a zinger to maintain engagement. One way to quickly fight against this is to teach the youth that social media is not information. It's primary purpose is commercialization. The purpose of the vast majority of clips is to earn money and/or reputation, just like those ads on your favorite TV/streaming service. But, as scams and mass manipulation has existed for the entire history of civilization, it's not going to be easy to implement the ideal solution of scientific skepticism. A distillation of practices used by Fox News et al.

But his brother didn't write him a check for laundered money. Checkmate libs.

A statement that officially says they get to grade their own homework

I've never really had a smooth experience with the PSN remote play even on my local network with a wired connection.

I'm pretty sure 1%-5% is the acceptable defect rate, but I'm sure it depends on the market since I'd bet TVs have a higher rate than 5%, and some certain mechanical drives are definitely failure prone. It would be nice to ballpark an actual figure, but I don't think we have any idea of the true failure rate since it's just that one repair shop reporting their numbers. How many shops are doing that many? What is the sweet spot, in terms of length of usage before failure, for the typical 4090? At some point the rate will go down as manufacturers put the revised connector on their cards.

I knew you'd lurk anyway... plus I've lost track who's upgraded. Probably missing @Ominous and a few others with a 4090? This does seem to be a problem bigger than it should be, as the shop should be able to compare how many 3090s have melted. Also some 4080s that have melted. Would definitely be prudent to get a full range of stats to get an idea about the rate of melted connectors for 400W+ cards new and old.

@stepee @Mr.Vic20 4090 owners, might want to inspect your card and make sure the connector is good. Even properly latched connections with the OG design are still melting, because the pin design\tolerances are absolute shit. Hundreds of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs Still Prone To "12VHPWR" Connector Issues, Says Repair Shop Owner WCCFTECH.COM Owners of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs are still prone to "12VHPWR" connector issues which include melting and burns, reports NorthridgeFix. Not only do you have to make sure the clip latches, but the connection should be squared up. A very light wiggle could make sure the metal contacts inside the plastic have a proper connection, because one other theory to the issue is a lax manufacturing tolerance leading to poor connections. The 12vhpwr connector is just so badly designed that it will soon be replaced with a new version.

A Ti Super card. What's next - AMD going to come out with an XTX Pro?

For all the nonsense that happened in the other episodes I actually liked this finale. The other episodes simply exist for content and entertainment and fakeouts with sprinkles of storytelling because this finale was the only one that actually matters and has consequence. Also Tom Hiddleston is charasmatically goated. Finale couldn't have hit hard without him.

Shhhhhhhh, you're not supposed to think about such things! Personally my favorite episode was the last one because I found it to be comedy gold in how it killed, pruned, and spaghettified all of the built-up stories. Was I laughing like a mad man whose brain was broken? Sure, but at least I was laughing. This season has gone meta at the expense of tight writing. Sylvie can seemingly do anything she wants, so why does she choose a McD's life? Well obviously even a god can't escape the oppressive force of capitalistic exploitation which convinces the masses that life is dully working a 9-5.

@LMN8R

This was such a faithful interpretation. Brick laying is analogous to Poe's method of writing; you don't build a wall just to break it down in the end.

If everyone turns out to not have been spaghettified... well I don't know what our characters are going to do. I only know that everything they've been trying to do so far is thrown out the window. Doctor Strange appearance? Wanda?

Even if these characters return, seems like everything they have been doing doesn't matter. Feels like a blank slate going forward and they're going to come up with something new to do.

So they finally give us a proper explanation for the characters' plans and motivations in episode 4 only to reset everything, rofl. Well that certainly explains why the campiness was off the charts. Nothing made sense because it didn't matter, so I have to imagine the intention was to not take this season (so far) so serious. I'm assuming that now every timeline is possible and this is the MCU's excuse to reboot or branch (haha) out going forward.

WTH, I never got a notification for this. Anyway, I mostly agree with you how the general populous expresses their opinions. A certain, significant portion of the population have this implicit bias against women. Using the Dumbledore example was just my personal opinion of him being an idiot. Sidenote: Like, every Harry Potter story has major or minor contrivances to make each installment exciting and it's definitely best to not overthink them, because most of the plots of each movie/book revolves around not telling Harry something very important that could have been told to him way sooner. Back to TLJ: While Holdo as a character is likely an intentional choice to highlight misogyny, I'm still not convinced that every facet of the movie was made with this intention as Greatoneshere's articles pointed out. There are several themes Johnson explores and goals he had with particularly plot points and characters and it doesn't revolve around gender. One of the articles makes the argument that a central theme is about women showing men how to cope with their emotions. I dislike this take, because knowing real people in real life my experience is that women are as equally emotionally unstable as men. I guess if this how someone chooses to see what the movie represents... then fair, because there is some good to come from this messaging. But TLJ was purposefully ambiguous on some things - notably how it wanted to go about representing the Jedi Order and its future - so I think one its goals was to incite discussion and highlight different points of view. I mostly don't see, and if I do then avoid, the Star Wars women hating and women hating content in general, but holy shit is it really hard to avoid headlines or content about hating Bri Larson. Seems like the most forced narrative out there. I liked Luke's arc... until he died. Literally no reason for him to die in that story and his death doesn't accomplish anything for the other characters. It's also especially egregious to have hamstrung the trilogy's story knowing Carrie had died and they had plenty of time to rework that scene before release. The CGI deepfake shit is just never going to let the characters express any nuanced emotion; the technology is not there. Luke in the Mandoverse may as well be a robot since he's nothing like young or old real Mark Hamil.
