I was burnt by an AMD processor in the 90's and had pretty much stuck with Intel since then but the Ryzen line has just become more and more compelling over time to the point where it’s been what I’ve been recommending to people.

You’re assuming that because it’s easy to replicate that a fix might be easy which isn’t always the case. You also need to understand that the fix could mean having to change the way the game handles things and those changes could drastically effect other areas of the game. The last thing they want is to play whack a…

“The Pro converted a 4K video file to 1080p in just 4 minutes and 50 seconds in Handbrake; the M1 MacBook Pro took nearly 8 minutes to complete that conversion, by comparison, and no Windows laptop we’ve tested has come close.”

I mean maybe you aren’t familiar with how coding can be but some stuff is not so easily fixed. Tracking down a cause can take a while and implementing fix that doesn’t further break things takes time. Testing is important especially the deeper the fix.

I mean in the area where it counts like converting 4k video files to 1080p etc. the new Macbook Pro seems to have beat out all windows laptops they have tested today by a fair margin. Time is money and if this saves time then it’s worth the money.

I haven’t played Fortnite in about 3-4 years? Yet I occasionally find myself buying things like this cause I MIGHT play it. I don’t know why. 

Game is looking pretty good. Here’s hoping. I want it to be a good game. 

I talk about the price because the PS5 uses off the shelf hardware and the Xbox uses a custom drive. Right now both options are relatively high because the tech is newer and there are shortages of components. Over time that will change but the M.2 drives will see big price drops while the custom one usually won’t.…

A year ago people were complaining this was complex. It wasn’t then and isn’t now. 10 minutes to use an off the shelf drive is far better then a bespoke one that will cost a lot and have limited options. 

My father has owned a 2-door 210 ‘57 for around 25 years and we have worked on it quite a bit recently to refresh it as it’s pretty much all original so many things show signs of wear just due to age. It’s got a brand new crate engine, modern power disc brakes, a new exhaust, a new driveshaft, a rebuilt transmission,…

These are neat but pretty useless because in my experience a lot of people are just gonna overload the damn thing anyways cause they “aren’t making a 2nd trip for 3 pieces of plywood!”

That’s ah... one heck of a grill on that thing.

The state of product availability is so bad. If my 1080 Ti dies on me I have no idea what I’d do. I’m not paying scalper prices. I’d probably drop to the crap built in video and stop PC gaming till things blew over in a year maybe and I got another card unless a miracle happened.

The Prius has excelled in it’s mission, but I just can’t get passed the styling. None of them have ever appealed to me. The efficiency above all approach to style is the same thing that kills Tesla’s for me too.  I want to be excited to drive my vehicles and they just look very meh to me. 

In spite of using fuel additives that are supposed to help combat ethanols issues It’s destroyed 2 motorcycles and two lawn tools. =(

They previously tested a similar program where viewers could group donate channel points to boost a streamer. It didn’t seem to do much there. I don’t see me paying to boost them. I’d just donate directly to the person who’s entertainment I’m enjoying. 

Here’s the thing. This is reliable info. As someone who’s had a Camaro since it came back and met with many of the people that worked on the Camaro team I can say that source is as good as you’ll get.

This is more of a mid cycle refresh with benefits. Like a PS4 or XB slim. It doesn’t do more. It just does what it should slightly better and more efficiently. Most people will just stick with what they’ve had. 

Interesting how Tesla only lets ”good” drivers use it. Almost like they know it’s not that great and in the wrong hands could be dangerous...

My lease just came to it’s end and knowing it’s worth far more then it’s buy out price I kept it. I’m probably gonna wait 6 or so months and see how the market looks in the spring.
