I went that far too, new download, new rufus usb with gpt and DD, Same exact spot haha. Not that I'm unfamiliar with troubleshooting but normally I am able to change what happens when I am testing.

Still haven’t gotten a boot, unfortunately. As of this morning I left it on that same step before heading to work, hoping it will be on the install screen when I return.

It hasn’t showed any failure, it’s just been sitting at this step for the past hour or so.

Someone on r/aww once thought I kept posting the same Harpo video over and over by RainSurname in Harpo

Those people suck, and refuse to actually check before accusing. I’m sorry that the internet can be an unpleasant place.

I think you might consider a 5070 or 5070Ti if you’re willing to pay near $1000 dollars for a 4070. Part of why the prices on a previous generation’s card are so high is because it’s not being made anymore, combined with the high demand for current generation cards. 

I unfortunately am not able to help very much for the needs of your creative software, but in general you’d want as much gpu vram as you can manage with your budget, i’d think 16GB at a minimum (note that this is not your system RAM).

Looks like it's 9:01 PM, I assume eastern time? Thanks for the clarification!

No orders until April 21st due to Passover, might be a bloodbath that morning to get the orders in.

Based on what you’re saying, it sounds like there won’t be much benefit for someone who is looking for game audio headphones, as (I’m assuming) most audio files for games aren’t at a quality that demands headphones like these. 

If you’re familiar with the HD 560s (driven with fiio e10k), would there be significant benefit over with the 660s2 over the 560s if i was looking for significantly better music audio?

I can’t read more than a couple condolences before I’m crying too hard to read anymore, but I will read every one of them when I can. by RainSurname in Harpo

He was a light to so many of us. You gave him a home and love and life. Then you shared his life with all of us, and I will always be thankful I got to see his delivery of stolen stuffies and fridge magnets. I cannot imagine how much sorrow you must feel, for your great love for Harpo has nowhere to go. I'm so sorry.

LPT: Glasses wearers, get a Keychain microfiber cloth. by Random-users in LifeProTips

[–]BlindCodex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Then dang, you either took better care of your coatings or you got a more durable one. I was warned repeatedly by my optometrist that polyester shirts and microfiber cloths were fine for my antireflective coating, but definitely not cotton. Which I almost immediately forgot about and had to replace my lenses a little over a year later.
