    Question A moment of 1st world emotional confusion regarding my new motherboard

    When I used to live near my local MC, I would open up the box, after paying, but before I left the store to make sure what I purchased was what I received. I knew it would be harder to dispute an error after I left the building. I was fortunate that I never had an issue.

    Get ready for the Bitcoin 'halving' in 2024!

    I get a few dollars in XRP or Cardano every couple of weeks, about equal to a couple of starbuck's coffees. It's not money that I will miss, and there is a chance it will be worth something, at some point.

    Need plasma tv replacement

    I am hoping for some help, because I am woefully out of date when it comes to TV technology. The wife and I have moved across country and left the still-working 50" Panasonic plasma tv (that we bought somewhere around 2010-2011, I think) in the old home with our adult kids. We are casual TV...

    How do you get OTA TV info online?

    It's more money, but if you are set on keeping OTA tv, then getting a TIVO may be a good option, especially with lifetime service. I have had mine for about 5-6 years, and it has a nice OTA tv guide that holds about two weeks worth of data. The only problem it has (at least in my area) is it...

    Question 3700x vs 5700x

    My son recently replaced his 2700x with a 5700x on a b350 Tomahawk board. He said he has noticed a real difference in gaming, since his 2700x seemed to be choking his 3070ti. As a side benefit, he says that his room doesn't seem to heat up as much during gaming sessions with the new cpu.

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    I will probably be listing my extra 6800, locally, this weekend. I don't think I'll have any problems selling it in the low $300 range. It only took a day to sell the other one at that price, and I don't see other local sellers (yet) discounting their ex-mining cards to realistically reflect...

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    I don't think anything is profitable right now. I only have 4 gpus atm, and did it as a hobby, really. Mining did allow me to pay off a couple of bills several months early and pay for a nice vacation for the wife and I next month. With work and other time-suck obligations, I mined the...

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    My younger son seems happy with my 3070ti miner. I got his 2060 super in exchange, so I still have a card to mine on if it becomes profitable again.

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    I am still mining with 4 cards until the merge goes through, and then I will see how the mining landscape looks after the dust settles. If it turns out to be a losing prospect, then my sons will get nice upgrades for their gaming rigs.

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    Those sellers are going to have a rude awakening in a few weeks , I think. I mined with 4 to 6 (depending on the time period) cards starting back in Feb of '21. I didn't have any illusions of getting rich, but with some fortunate cash-outs at the right times, I was able to pay off a couple of...

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    I took apart my 2-card mining rig and sold my 6800 for $300 and 5700xt for 150. Only took me a day to do so, undercutting all the other local sellers and beating the flood of used cards by a couple of weeks. All those that still have their cards listed for much higher prices may have alot more...

    Discussion Still getting rejection letters for job applications.... but I do have a good news.

    Depending on what kind of job you are looking for, some of the larger oil companies can pay pretty decently. If you do work in the industry, you just have to keep in mind that it is often "feast or famine.". My company laid off over half it's work force in 2020 because of the pandemic...

    Question Considering upgrade....most threads for the $$?

    Markfw, true they are slow cores and I am not saying it is the best option, it is just an option. For my purposes, it was a nice, cheap upgrade over my Phenom, and Windows 10 handled all of my drivers for me. I have had no issues, so far, and since this is a backup to the main desktop, it...

    Question Considering upgrade....most threads for the $$?

    OP, if you want lots of threads on the cheap, you could get a Chinese X79 motherboard, a V2 Xeon, and cheap ddr3. For a little over $200, I replaced an ancient Phenom II 1100t with this motherboard from Amazon: Lolovi motherboard , a Xeon E5 2690 V2 (10 core/20 thread), and 32Gb of registered...

    Anyone Running NiceHash?

    I started using Nicehash a couple of weeks ago, today, and I have made about $100, so far, with a 3070 and 1660 super in my desktop. I had never mined or done anything with crypto before now. So, just to see if it was worth it, I set it up to run on the 3070 in my desktop (which is usually...

    Question Intel or AMD for specific type of desktop

    Another option might be to find a 3900x. I have seen a few for sale in the $350 territory, from folks that have upgraded to Ryzen 5xxx. If you need alot of cores but do not necessarily need the fastest cores, you can save a couple of hundred under what a similarly equipped 5900x would cost.

    Question what was your first legit video card?

    My first real video card (an upgrade from the integrated video in my first computer) was a Radeon 7500 All-In-Wonder. The fact that I could, all of a sudden, play some 3D games and watch/record cable TV on my computer was a huge deal to me.

    Question Should I return my Ryzen 7 2700x and get a Ryzen 5 3600x instead?

    For me, it came down to price. I picked up the 2700x when it was $129.99 (minus 5% for having a MC card, paid off a week later) at Microcenter just after Black Friday.

    Any cord cutters here besides me?

    I had been a cord-cutter for the last 8 years, but recently went back to Comcast to add basic cable to my internet package. It added about 18/month to my bill. But over the last year, the trees growing in my neighborhood that lie between my outdoor antenna and the city's transmitter towers had...

    I finally cut the cord

    We cut the cord six years ago. For a few years, I had a dedicated HTPC with Hauppauge tuner cards getting signals from my outdoor antenna, until it got fried by a power surge. But for that time, it very close to not passing the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). She likes things easy, and did not...

    Thanks for the suggestions. That Whitehat holster looks like what I was thinking of. I have carried a 3" 686+ IWB several times recently, but it gets a little uncomfortable sometimes. The SP should be a bit easier to do so.

    I am looking for some holster recommendations. I recently traded my XDS (it carried very nicely in a single-clip IWB holster) for an SP101, which I had wanted for a while. The SP came with a Simply Rugged OWB pancake holster which, while comfortable, puts more limits on my mode of dress than I...

    what are people buying these days?

    Shannara Chronicles (TV)

    Once I got past the first book, I loved the series. At 2:18 in the trailer, there is a brief glimpse of Wil Ohmsford using the Elfstones, and their power scarring him inside. That particular moment sets up many events that follow in later books, and looks similar to what I envisioned when I...
