I've heard a few sources mention that current prices for the AMD cards were limited in some way, possibly to launch cards, before prices increase. This is frustrating, but there is a hierarchy of frustrations. The people I want least to get my money: 1. Scalpers 2. Retailers 3. OEMs 4. Chip...

Yup, CDW is legit, but their customer service sucks unless you are big enough to have an account rep. Then it is awesome. Mine used to send me Scotch for Christmas.

I can't speak towards "not too expensive" as I haven't been looking in that space, but the Level1Techs KVMs get outrageously good reviews, and don't seem too crazy for what they are. That said, every time I consider getting one a PiKVM suits my needs better. Edited to point to 4-port model

I also noticed "unlimited encoding streams" on the list.

Caught this on one of their launch slides if you were after AV1 encoding?

That 128GB of RAM has me looking at them for AI training purposes. The Framework Desktop looks like a great fit for the purpose.

Louis Cole has been a key figure in one of my favorite musical genres for years. While it may not appeal to everyone, it could certainly resonate with some here. He excels at high-quality musical shitposts. Having received formal musical training, he and his talented friends take great pleasure...

Absolutely. Just check the carry-on size spec for the airline you're on. Worst case they make you check it at the gate, which makes it way less likely to be lost and is free.

Normally shipping your luggage would cost more than the plane ticket, which to me implies that passenger airline QA is another loss of the price wars.

5090FE power connectors are already melting. From some videos I've seen, it seems that they simply wired together all the 12v lines in the 12VHP connector and shunted them as a whole, so there is no active control over how much power goes over each wire. Derbauer had a melted one in his hands...

Just a heads-up, most of the things here now use animated QR codes (that rapidly alternate between a few) and prevent screenshots from working. I just use the app from whatever airline to get the boarding pass, another advantage is that it typically automatically maxes the brightness of your...

Turns out that my local electronics seller, Proshop, had been trusted to handle the 5090FE sales from nVidia for Europe. Their internal sales URL was leaked in advance, and a bot purchased every EU 5090FE before the link on nVidias website even went live.

I think the black and white is more a populist thing, the narrative must be simple to be believed.

5090FE "preorder" went from "soon" to "sold out" in seconds.

MKBHD basically said everything since the 22 has been the most minor of incremental upgrades. I'm still happy with my S22 Ultra, though the screen is now scratched all to hell.
