You're comment is funny because it's completely absurd. Iran would get squashed like a bug in a military conflict with the US. Can't win... :ROFLMAO: You sound like the media pontificating before the Gulf War ('91) that Sadam's battle hardened troops were going to wipe the floor with the...

ROFL!!! Thanks for the morning laugh. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Do you have any other material in your standup routine that you want to share?

AMD's slides show their mobile 45W Ryzen 7 4500H outperforming a desktop 95W Intel i7-9700K in some benchmarks. https://images.anandtech.com/doci/15324/AMD%20CES%202020%20Update_Client_Embargoed%20Until%20Jan.%206%20at%206pm%20ET-page-020.jpg

Seriously, this is news to you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_and_state-sponsored_terrorism

No, because there's not going to be another war like that. No more Iraqs or Afghanistans. No more attempts at country rebuilding or democracy installation in the Middle East. Let them fix their own countries paid for in their own blood, not the blood of US soldiers. Slapping problem...

It looks like AMD has come for Intel's mobile CPUs as well. https://www.anandtech.com/show/15324/amd-ryzen-4000-mobile-apus-7nm-8core-on-both-15w-and-45w-coming-q1

Starting?!? More like finally responding to the 4 decades of provoking Iran has been doing against the US. This could very well make war with Iran less likely now that they see Trump isn't a pushover like his predecessors.

Canon looks to be having a hold my beer moment with the 1D X III. https://www.canonrumors.com/canon-eos-1d-x-mark-iii-summary/ They can't leave Nikon to doing all the disappointing.

I'm still using a E5-2687W v2 that I first built with a v1 e5 CPU just short of 4 years ago when it was already dated tech but the CPUs and RAM were coming from off lease enterprise systems and were pretty cheap for the performance at the time compared to the desktop products. It has no NVMe...

How are you getting notified of the Amazon pre-orders going up? At this point I might sit tight until the 4xxx series. I spent a lot of money in the past month or two on stuff not PC related. I could still get a new system, I not broke but tapping the brakes might not be a bad thing... Also...

Interesting... Mine doesn't have any in stock. The rumors for the Ryzen 4xxx have already started. Supposedly there's a 17% IPC gain. https://wccftech.com/amd-zen-3-ryzen-4000-epyc-milan-cpu-17-percent-ipc-gain-rumor/

I'm sort of undecided on the ending of Mr. Robot. It's not a spectacular disappointment like LOST, but I'm not sure I thought the ending was good either. I thought Season 4 was a bit of a slog. It's good, but it's seems a bit longer than it needed to be and it feels a bit like a long setup...

Have you finished it yet? I just finished it tonight. I don't want to spoil anything for you...

I guess they're not and I just happened to click the link while they were allowing them. Now it's gone.

I didn't realize Amazon was basically allowing people to backorder/pre-order them now. Your comment left me with the impression that the pre-orders at Amazon come and go. It seems like Amazon is continually allowing pre-orders since 12/26 (per nowinstock).

That's because it's probably the easiest and laziest legal way for an employer to narrow down the pool of prospective candidates. If college ever becomes free everyone will go and it won't be too long after that before you'll need an advanced degree for most jobs.

There's something they should do before that. Presuming getting them out of the student loan business isn't an option, the first thing should be to limit the amount a student can borrow to some ratio of the average starting salary for recent college graduates with a job in the field of the...

Except it's not going to apply to you. First of all, it's a vote grabbing platitude that will likely never pass Congress. Second, if it were to pass it's most likely only to apply to recent student loans that are owned by the feds (more or less). Third it would have plenty of conditions. It...

Well, that was kind of my point. It would take years.

I watched the first 3 seasons on SyFy, so less than stellar 1080. I watched Season 4 in UHD HDR via Amazon. I haven't read them, but the general consensus seems to be that they follow fairly closely.

Someone's not reading the thread.

DVD? Oh boy are you missing out on the imagery of the show.

Has anyone else watched Season 4 of The Expanse?

Who said you needed to buy a car or drive? And how do you know you'll hate living someplace else? It sounds like you haven't ever tried it. Further, what are your siblings going to do to you if you don't move out? They can't sell the house with you in it. You could always offer to move in...

You're describing self inflicted problems that can readily solved with a little flexibility. Take your share of the money from the house and move somewhere living is actually affordable. That's not NYC. Why you would choose to be homeless in NYC instead of being comfortable elsewhere is...

Ham is best eaten cold and not "cooked" (warmed). (y)

Didn't they threaten to shut down the freedb before, but didn't actually do it? Edit: Yes https://slashdot.org/story/06/07/03/0055211/freedborg-ending

All baseless lies and smears, but here is the crux of the issue and why a discussion can't be had. Lefties, like yourself, think conservatives are bad people with ideas. Conservatives think lefties, like yourself, are people with bad ideas. The two sides have nothing in common anymore. When...

I should apologize. I made a math error. The Russians buying fakebook ads spent 0.0083% of the total money spent on the Presidential election. Not the 0.0000083% I originally stated. That's must be why it was so effective. Tom Steyer needs to hire them since he apparently can't buy any votes...

I'm sorry that the truth hurts. Doubling down on the same lies isn't going to help you. 1) So when Trump bring backs the jobs that Obama said weren't coming back, Obama gets credit? When Trump gets growth numbers Obama and other democrats mocked and said were impossible, Obama gets credit? If...

Ehhh... It's a halo product more about image than selling it. I certainly wouldn't buy one.

RDF, gaslighting, and TDS confirmed. Way to hit the trifecta! Basically none of what you said is true. It's almost impressive that you were able to get so much wrong in so few words.

In what way?

It must be "nice" being miserable all the time in Roswell Rachel's RDF while life gets better, the economy roars, and a majority of the country see through the delusions and pettiness of the people who refuse to accept the results of the 2016 election.

On the contrary. The democrats have just sealed his re-election. And, he's not in the office. He's at a rally.

Playing along with your hypothetical... How would that involve me?

I was referring to your link.

Your keyboard makes you click Post reply before you've finished typing?

The one where he hits post reply before he's done typing his thoughts and doesn't notice during the edit window.

That's not UPS. 🤣

Just like your link... They're following your lead.

No, I took the SIM card out of my old phone and put it in the Pixel 3a. Unfortunately, T-Mobile doesn't support eSIM for non-Apple phones. Otherwise I could use it for my personal line on T-Mobile (with the eSIM) and my work cell line on Verizon (with the SIM card) at the same time on a single...

I got the phone this morning. As promised the phone basically looked new. No scratches or any wear on it. There was a little bit of dust in the USB-C port and the speakers at the bottom, but that might just be from the packaging of the box. The little SIM card tool was missing from the...

If the phone had it I wouldn't complain, but at this point I'm certainly not going to pay a premium to get a phone with it.

According to summary at GSM Arena the Pixel 3a XL has better battery life than the G5S+ in things other than voice calls. I didn't buy the G5S+ for long battery life. I simply noted after having it that the battery lasted a long time under my typical usage pattern. I bought the G5S+ 2 years...

There's a version 2.0!

I'm way past that point.

:unsure: Huh? 1) It doesn't have 5G. 2) I don't have the phone yet.

So at the latest pricing I decided to get one of these to replace my 2 year old Moto G5S+ (which is still working fine). Admittedly and somewhat ironically the good camera on the Pixel 3a XL was a draw to me along with the good battery life and OLED screen. I got an Open box - Excellent...
