Intel’s behavior is PATHETIC – Core i9 10980XE Review
quote:

"There are people serving lunch in your cafeteria with more integrity"


AMD clearly isn’t tired of winning yet… - Threadripper 3970X/3960X Review

Zen 2 Threadripper is fricking nutty.

No wonder Intel didn't want to go against it as he says in the first video.

Oh okay, I don't really keep up with Intel's stuff beyond i5 and i7.

Damn, I was just came from Home Depot and didn't find anything. I almost went to Lowe's but figured it would be about the same.

I rather Home Depot's "tool world" but Lowe's has the better bulb selection.

Everything else Home Depot.

Haven’t chosen a monitor yet, but I’m leaning towards the LG 34” ultra wide.

The 512gb SSD+3tb HDD+1tb HDD is dumb, but outside of that, it's not too far off from my machine

Which one? That's the biggest issue I'm having. The pixio PX7 is sort of the leader right now.

Agreed, that was the product of too much drinking. Think the price difference was $36, so I just rolled with it.

I also have a 16tb synology NAS (I could also upgrade the RAM in it and/or swap to SSDs but not sure it would really be useful.)

The monitor will likely long outlast the PC, so I’m taking my time making a decision. I need something with strong color reproduction for photo editing and high refresh rate for gaming ...so that seems to be both expensive and limits my options.

What are the negatives for UW? I was watching some battlefield in UW and it looked glorious. My original impulse was the 49” UW Samsung....but figured I’d tone things back a little.

Question for you Plex savants.

Any way to record Hulu Live shows?

Setup automatic torrent download of whatever show you want to watch? It won't be live but you can't watch it basically as soon as it's done airing

The issue I have is with Hulu's DVR. It's not really a "DVR".

Fckking DVR'd shows expire. They function closer to "On-Demand" services than traditional DVR.
