    Something Random

    IIRC, The colour grading in the Matrix series was intentional, with scenes inside the matrix being green tinted, and those based outside (in real life) were meant to have a different tint. This was done to hint to the viewer which environment they were in. IIRC, this was discussed in either...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Thanks, sorry forgot to mention it’s mostly for gaming until next year when he is off to university, then it’ll be gaming, some more gaming and then maybe some word, excel stuff for his studies. Was looking at the Crucial T500, as its only a few dollars more than the Crucial P3 plus and Crucial...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Hi all, Just wondering what the current recommendations are for 1-2TB nvme ssds are these days. Need to replace the boot drive in my sons system due the current one starting to exhibit IO errors. Currently has a Kingston KC2500 1TB which has been fine until a month ago, where the recoverable...

    Empire in Decline

    It's not that they're brainwashed, but the USMCJ (US military code of justice) is rather problematic in its procedures/ruling around illegal orders. Soldiers are also generally trained to assume that any order they are given is lawful and must be followed. In most other NATO/Western countries...

    Yeah, I agree, the fish bowl design is uninspired. At least we still have companies like Chenbro making modernised 20 year old designs... https://www.chenbro.com/en-global/products/PC_Chassis/Micro_ATX_Tower/PC314...

    Here is a thread to talk about gaming

    Just finished Bioshock and Bioshock 2 remastered editions (got them on 90% off sale when 2K games had a sale on Steam a few months ago). Never played them when they came out, so was in for a new experience. Throughly enjoyed both.

    Something Random

    May the Fourth be with you. Just finished Star Wars Ep3 (special edition on Blu-Ray) with my son in celebration, and watched S2 E1-3 of Andor as well. The thing I don't like about Andor, is how shitty it makes the rest of the Disney Star Wars production look. Seriously, why can't Disney make...

    .PDF software that doesn't cost 20.00 a month?

    That makes more sense if the PDF wasn't constructed correctly to allow text input with save/print, why he needs a tool with editor functionality. The other suggestions are the way to go then.

    9950X3D/4090 Watercooled Build

    How long did you wait for the POST screen? IIRC AM5 processors can take a long time to post the first time due to memory training especially when dealing with large memory modules. (10-15 minutes having been reported on reddit with some higher end boards like the Taichi).

    Does Acrobat Reader or Foxit PDF reader not work for you?
