General Entertainment YouTube's being stupid again.
AbsolutSurgen replied to CastletonSnob's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
YouTube cares about selling ads to advertisers, they don't care about "controversial content" per se. They only really care if advertisers do. I thought that creators had very few restrictions if they didn't care about being demonetized. -
General Entertainment YouTube's being stupid again.
AbsolutSurgen replied to CastletonSnob's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
YouTube creators are the whiniest bunch of folks ever -- particularly the smaller channels. YouTube is, reportedly, still not profitable for anyone but the creators. YouTube is trying to sell ads, largely to big corporations -- who typically don't want to be associated with controversial content. If you want $$$ from big corporations, sometimes you have to make some compromises to your vision -- even if it isn't dropping the f-bomb every 2 seconds. -
PC Tech PC won't turn on. Might need a new PSU
AbsolutSurgen replied to Brick's topic in PC/Mac Technical and PCCB
You can get a cheap 850W Corsair for $160. I haven't seen any name brand 1000W PSUs for a decent price in Canada in my recent searches. I wouldn't bother waiting for the ATX3.0 PSUs, they don't seem to be readily available, and there is very limited information on when they will be. I suspect they will be priced at a big premium as well. -

You might want to try this to confirm it is your PSU. -
Pierre Poilievre is a douche. However, that doesn't make Trudeau any better of a PM. Polls, despite Poilievre's personal unpopularity ARE showing the CPC's getting a plurality of the seats if an election were to be held today.

General Gaming I hate how big video games have gotten
AbsolutSurgen replied to Fizzzzle's topic in The Spawn Point
Wow. What I had done is have an old 1TB SSD filled up with backlog games. When I bought the Steam Deck, I downloaded a ton of games too. This came in handy when I was at the hospital for 3 weeks, which blocked Steam on their WiFi -- and downloading games on my cell plan wasn't going to happen. Most of the time, I'm queing up a download weeks before I plan to play the game. -

The Coliseum was a shithole. Oakland could no longer support an NFL franchise. The biggest part of the Raiders fan base is in LA, and the NFL blocked them from moving there.

A 50 GB game takes about 10 minutes to download. How slow is your internet? -
The Canadian markup on Nvidia FE was around 40% in $C vs. $US. (4090 - $2.099 vs. $1,659 and 4080 -- $1,659 vs. $1,199). That would put the 4070Ti MSRP at around C$1,120 ($800*1.4). images/cc-og.jpg Shop for Powered By nVidia & more - Canada Computers WWW.CANADACOMPUTERS.COM Everyday savings on Powered By nVidia, Visit Canada Computers & Electronics in-store / online for the best prices Deals and Promotions.

Huh? They missed two clear PI in the first half (one against each team). You might be able to argue the one on the Raiders, but the uncalled PI that prevented a touchdown by Adams is inexcusable.

The Chiefs are so confident they are playing ring-around-the-rosie before going for a touchdown.

Surprised me as well. Other sports who have had players have heart attacks in similar circumstances (Chris Pronger in the NHL Playoffs, and Christian Eriksen at Euro 2020) have had the game continue while they were sent to hospital. I completely understand the NFL not wanting to continue playing the same evening. But the day after, even if they had to play in empty stadium, seems like a no brainer.
