They needed to maintain value and performance. Their value sunk as cheaper competitors closed the gap. And their performance sunk because they were gatekeeping function behind required apps. This is 100% on them. What should they have done? They should have made the product actually better for the user, or lowered prices to expand their sales volume. I would buy one if they cut prices dramatically.

70% or more of people wish they did. Most people are just barely getting by.

I trust individuals with a camera or two far more than I trust the government with cameras everywhere.

And like the pharaohs, these assholes really think they’re gods.

Yeah I started with a 1700x then a 2700x then a 5800x. I also used to have an RTX 3060ti. My daughter is currently running the 2700x with the 3060ti. I try to upgrade periodically and pass my most recent hardware to my kids. I would upgrade again soon if prices were good but they are not good.

I’ve been gaming on an old AM4 motherboard, a B450 that was low spec when I bought it, it’s been over five years now. I’ve been running a 4070ti on it for three years and I’d love to upgrade it but I’m not excited about Nvidia right now and there isn’t a company on the planet that seems to want to offer me an alternative. At least China is flooding us with cheaper RAM.

As long as I can shoot him. Repeatedly.

Fallout.

I remember. I’m also paying Google $2 a month for 100gb. Fucking bastards. But can you point me to 100GB for less?

I don’t really care about this particular shitpost but I just came to compliment the outfit. I could make up an excuse to wear that to literally any social event.

California needs to be self sufficient - so we need the resources of our northern states as well

Fry up a steak with butter, salt and pepper. Jerky is also pretty good, and if you have it ground it makes a solid chili.

Panthers have ventured up into Arizona and New Mexico not too long ago. Panthers could take out a few deer. And some hikers.

I listen to the first couple of seconds of voicemails but 99% of the time I’m deleting at second 2 or 3.

I did get a needed call the other day, our cat had gotten its collar off and a neighbor took it to a shelter. Fortunately he was microchipped and we got a call very quickly and got him, he only had to spend about an hour at the shelter. He was still very stressed out. The neighbor was kind of a dick, there are a lot of cats without collars in our area and most of them are just outside cats that get fed outside.

Our cat used to be one of those, but the owner died and we took it, and he’s 13 and doesn’t want to wear a collar so he figures out how to break that mother fucker off all the time. If he didn’t have a breakaway collar, he would probably choke himself to death.

Blocking users and hiding from opposing positions is weak sauce behavior too. I am antagonistic to places and people like that.

Yeah it’s still better than FB which doesn’t even have a thumbs down. Fortunately I’m only on FB for my job, not being able to downvote makes me crazy.

I’m 52, I don’t pay full price for games.

I’m getting a little too old to pursue becoming an electrician. I have had a number of friends who were electricians and I know how much strength it takes. Thankfully my wife works for a school union so at least she has decent healthcare.

Are you employed by the government directly or indirectly? Seems those are the only union jobs left. I’ve given up on finding one.

Yeah I’m going to be running AM4, DDR4, with my 5800x for many more years the way it’s looking.
