    Tech NVIDIA RTX 3000 Series GPUs Revealed

    I suspect the availability on launch will not be great. Hopefully NVIDIA has anticipated that and stocked up, but that's never happened with high profile releases like this - the question is usually just how long it will be until supply catches up.

    Tech NVIDIA RTX 3000 Series GPUs Revealed

    Did you consider just using the 9100 non-F since it has an iGPU?

    Tech Anyone build their own PC's and wanna talk tech and specs?

    I'm also running a Ryzen 9 3900X right now. It's great to see AMD's return to being a competitive option in the CPU market these days. RTX 2080 Ti, 32 GB RAM, 750W PSU, and 4k monitor round out the other major components of my current build. The computer component market is seeing some...

    Tech Apple vs Android

    Apple vs Android is the modern day Cats vs Dogs argument. Everyone has an opinion, no one is wrong, and some odd folks like both. It is fun to watch Apple and Samsung continually try to one-up each other, though.

    Other Let’s Have a Meaningful Discussion on Gun Control

    There's really nothing supporting this assumption. The argument contradicts itself. It is much easier to for a government to become abusive when it continues to concentrate power into a smaller and smaller area, which is a continuing trend in the United States. You are correct that the...

    Other Let’s Have a Meaningful Discussion on Gun Control

    I think something that was left out of this discussion was an explanation of why the 2nd Amendment exists at all. The purpose of putting that in the Bill of Rights during the drafting of the Constitution was not to allow people to go hunting or even to ensure a means of protecting against...

    News political alert! Do you approve of trumps doings while in office

    Bernie Sanders is such a meme. It's sad that in today's United States, we have broad support for his ideas. Sanders is the epitome of what I mentioned earlier in regards to wealth redistribution. Instead of choosing to help out your fellow man because it's the right thing to do, he believes that...

    News political alert! Do you approve of trumps doings while in office

    North Korea is a problem. The way they have been firing missiles into the water lately has everyone on edge, and rightfully so. Hopefully Trump doesn't make any rash decisions here (so far his only rashness is in his words, not his actions) because this is a very dangerous situation. Potentially...

    News political alert! Do you approve of trumps doings while in office

    I'm actually one of these people who has never experienced it and has no idea what it's like. Still, every so often the thought hits me that I have had a really good life so far, almost to the point of thinking I don't deserve it. That doesn't mean I support the idea of more government...

    News political alert! Do you approve of trumps doings while in office

    In general, I agree with this. However, there's more at play here when discussing American politics. The problem is that (and I'm of course generalizing here) the conservative part of the country is actually concerned that the core founding values of the country are at stake here. The...

    News political alert! Do you approve of trumps doings while in office

    I don't mind most of Trump's policies and I definitely like how he's driving his departments to cut tons of unnecessary regulations. That said, man, is Trump ever a crass blowhard. He really does the office of the President a disservice by his rude comments and constant trash talking. Right...

    Favourite game studio

    As much as my uncouth, 'Murican self would object to you putting a 'u' in "favorite," I'd probably have to say some combination of Westwood, Sierra, and Blizzard North. I've played unhealthy amounts of Command and Conquer, Homeworld, and Diablo 2.

    Tech Windows 10 - What do you think of it?

    The UI is fine. It's more usable than 8 was, for sure. However, Microsoft has failed in two major ways: 1. They are doing all they can to force people to upgrade and continue nagging you even when you aren't interested. 2. There is a whole host of telemetry data being sent back to Microsoft...

    What desktop is best?

    I don't really know which OEMs are any good these days since I build all my own machines. You probably won't get a whole lot in that price range. Something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220835 I checked Cyberpower for their configurator, but they don't...

    Tech People of RPN, I need your help.

    Ouch. Well, it sounds like anyone who'd be able to help would need to have some kind of look at the device. Do you have any pictures? It may be futile in any case, but that sounds better than nothing.

    Tech People of RPN, I need your help.

    Have you tried taking it to an Apple store? Don't they have that "Genius Bar" thing that is designed for issues of this sort? (I've never visited one myself, so I'm unsure)
