I wouldn't call that a game of strategic depth, it's much too random for that. It's more like "doing the best with what you have" and "create a narrative with the projects you're given". It's a pretty fun game though, and getting an increasing number of cubes is always fun, but strategic is not...

Modern cases are basically empty boxes with some fans in them. Look for used Fractal Design stuff, my Define R4 is amazing, and it was like €45.* *with busted USB ports at the top, but when I mailed FD about buying spare parts they asked me for the serial number and then sent me the part for...

Randos posting on forums don't usually provide accuracy in their gossiping. IIRC a couple years ago* some site tested Bulldozer on modern games and in certain games it was surprisingly capable. *this means 2019-onwards, which is weird

Define "computer". "Internet capable device", yes. "Computer" as in "Personal Computer" as in specifically a desktop/laptop, no. In 2020 a court in Sweden ruled that the purchase of a smartphone would be part of the social security system, something I totally agree with because our entire...

What is this based on? When Gabe Newell dies/retires Valve/Steam will go to shit for sure, but MS outright buying them in the forseeble future? No.

Got a deal on a Pixel 8a (traded in an old Samsung Galxy S9 for it, the carrier had a deal where they allowed tradeins for basically any old phone). The camera is sometimes better than the one in my Sony Xperia 5iii, sometimes slightly worse, and that is the only thing I care about. I'm going to...

Everyone needs a phone, most people need a smartphone. It's cheaper than a console+TV. It's cheaper than a gaming PC. You can play together with friends. You can play anywhere. Mobile gaming is as big as console and PC gaming combined.

Downclock and see what happens.

Add this to the reasons to go AMD.

Not really. My moms Motorolas disagree, and all the smartphones i've ever owned also disagree. It's all in how you use them: If you use your phone a lot (as in "my smartphone is my main game machine" and "of course it's connected to a PD charger 24/7 how else am I supposed to Game") it'll die...

Do it well enough and with a wide enough range of tablets and "the crowd" might come. AFAIK there aren't a whole lot of in depth reviews for stuff like this, especially not from people who actually use them. It's a niche market, but still.

Hire someone to do in depth reviews of drawing tablets. Would be a cool addition.

I have the sound proofing kit, and ... I honestly don't know how many fans (one in, one out possibly) and it's actually fine, temperature-wise, even with the 6950xt. With some fan curve editing it's even pleasantly quiet. Maybe two in, one out? The top has the noise dampeners on it, as do the...

Depends on how much you pay for it, a say €50 used R4 is much better than anything else for the same price. Even at €80 it would be hard to find anything of the same quality. I got mine for €40 and it's great. I had to remove a drive cage when I got the 6950XT, but it still holds more HDDs than...

What settings do you run your RAM at? Don't use XMP, try some lower speed and see what happens. That is not advice or even helping. No one knows or should have to know what a B-die is to have a stable computer.
