I put a Noctua D9L in a mini ITX build recently (first Noctua cooler!). When I fired it all up I couldn’t hear anything and did a panic shutdown real quick. It was also super hard to see the fan so I resorted to sticking my finger in there and powering it up to get confirmation the damn thing was spinning.

Kinect, Microsoft’s failed spy camera accessory.

God damn with the proprietary upgrades again. What the hell.

This will be a hell of a lot more interesting, and applicable to something useful, when the AI gets smart enough to alter the image instead of just uprezzing it.

Seeing the cooling solutions being utilized here, with MASSIVE cooling blocks and nice big fat fans, is a huge relief. All the suffering that was caused by the RROD saga seems to have caused avoiding a repeat of that to have been permanently burned into the design philosophy.

I thought Xbox 360 having the swapable faceplates was the dumbest thing in the god damn world when they announced it.

I’ve committed to going all-digital this generation. Between the launch of the Xbox One and today I’ve been involved in the design phase of two new humans that now live with us, and managing games is INFINITELY easier when they are digital. I quickly learned this once the Switch started getting a ton of attention.

I didn’t see the entire thing or all the details, but I am trying to be optimistic that the deadline only means the games will be split up into individual purchases, probably for a higher total price, but still be available.

..the most meaningful, deep connection I’ve ever had..

I wouldn’t be surprised if these first get rolled out as truck to door handling. Seems like the logical first place to use them. If they move fast enough, the truck might not even need to stop.

Spiderman has had a Sony logo on his underwear for like 20 years or so now, so I’m finding it rather funny this exclusivity thing is being talked about so much. Like, yeah... duh... Sony gonna Sony that shit.. right?

“OMG, I found organic life over her! But I had to burn it to let you know. It’s been fun. How are you?”

Not picking Stacy Abrams means Biden might be thinking strongly about moving hard on anti-voter suppression legislation. She could very well re-run for Governor under such new legislation forcing Georgia to actually allow voting and then, wham.. black lady gov in the deeeeep South.

That money will go towards reducing household energy bills.

This bitch was DREAMING of the day she would finally get even the slightest excuse to whip it out and be the super hero she has always thought she could be.

If you look real closely, you can almost see his tiny little hand.

It’s unclear if the ruling will be appealed.

ACTUALLY...

I never thought I needed to see double hood scoops, but apparently I did and I weirdly love it.

Is there a plug-in hybrid model? Asking for a friend!
