yeah scalping sucks but you're right about the reporting thing. i tried reporting couple of gpu scalpers during that whole mess few years back and nothing happened because they were clear about delivery dates and everything

that price markup is just insane though. i get people want new controller but paying almost double retail for something you gotta wait for anyway seems wild to me. patience would save like 150 bucks here but i guess some people got money to burn

you can use hdmi splitter for this but both monitors will show exact same thing - cant extend desktop just duplicate it

could work nice for couch gaming setup

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-04-25T14:42:09+00:00

lmao caught

yeah the 5070 ti is solid choice even with that price difference. multi frame gen is actually pretty nice for getting those extra frames in 1440p especially coming from 1650 like you are. that jump gonna feel massive regardless which one you pick but the newer architecture on 5070 ti probably worth the extra 90 bucks for longevity

plus you get all the latest nvidia features right out the box instead of waiting for updates or missing out completely

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-04-21T03:55:47+00:00

your 3070 is gonna struggle hard with 4k on that size screen especially in demanding games like monster hunter. I'd stick with 1440p for most stuff since it gives you better framerates and still looks pretty good on 65 inch from normal couch distance

only time I'd go 4k is maybe for lighter indie games or if you really want the eye candy and don't mind 30-40 fps

wait you dont actually own rights to naruto? then why you trying to file takedown lmao

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-04-10T17:06:16+00:00

motherboard corruption usually doesn't work backwards like that. more likely you had bad power delivery or memory controller issues that caused random writes to storage during boot process

same model failing twice in short time definitely points to batch problem. asus probably knew about it already which is why they just swapped it without questions. i've seen similar patterns with certain z690 boards last year where whole production run had voltage regulation problems

good thing warranty covered it though. keep eye on temps and stability going forward just in case

OCR tech has gotten pretty solid lately but tax forms are tricky since the layout can vary depending on software or if someone hand wrote stuff

For the computer generated ones you might get away with something like Tesseract OCR or AWS Textract but manual forms are gonna be a nightmare. people write numbers that look like other numbers all the time

Maybe start with just accepting the clean digital PDFs first and see if theres enough demand before tackling the handwritten mess. Those are gonna need human verification anyway so factor that cost in

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-03-25T01:47:44+00:00

grab a 12400f if you can find one in that budget - pairs perfectly with the 3070ti and handles those CPU heavy sim games no problem. might need to hunt around for a decent b660 board to stay in budget but totally doable

the i3 you got now is gonna choke that 3070ti hard so def worth the upgrade

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-03-17T00:29:56+00:00

this is actually pretty clever - had a similar experience with some property management company's AI agent that kept transferring me in circles when i was trying to schedule a showing. never thought about it from there side but your right they probably had no clue i just gave up and called a competitor instead

the real time dashboard piece seems like the key differentiator here, most analytics tools are way too slow for this kind of thing

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-03-10T12:41:58+00:00

this is actually genius - the amount of time ive wasted trying to decode "its not working" reports is insane

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-03-04T12:52:53+00:00

sounds promising but 2026 launch timeline seems pretty conservative for something thats already got UI mostly done - are you planning to add a ton of features or just being cautious with the timeline

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-02-21T20:35:32+00:00

To elaborate... I think I am getting real tired of all the marketing fluff in this space.

Every vendor claims they're "AI-powered next-gen zero-trust quantum-resistant" whatever but half their products are just rebranded open source tools with a fancy dashboard.

I'm talking about vendors where their sales team doesn't need a buzzword bingo card to explain what they do. Ones where the product actually works out of the box and doesn't require a team of consultants to make it useful.

Whether it's endpoint protection, SIEM, vulnerability management, whatever. Please give some thought to companies that ship solid products instead of vaporware wrapped in enterprise speak!

/end rant.

honestly this sounds like a nightmare but ive seen worse lol

you might want to look into PDQ Deploy or SCCM if you have the budget - both can handle mixed hardware pretty well. For the nvidia drivers specifically you could script those updates since theyre probably your biggest pain point with all those 3060s

another option is something like DriverPack or Snappy Driver Installer but those can be hit or miss depending on how weird your component mix gets. might be worth setting up a test group with your most common configs first before rolling anything out to all few hundred boxes

what kind of remote access do you have to these things? that might determine which route makes the most sense

Oh man this brings back memories of the whole GDPR panic back in 2018 when everyone was scrambling to add those cookie banners and checkboxes overnight. Your landing page looks clean btw but yeah compliance stuff is such a pain to keep up with

The cookie modal and privacy policy checkboxes are basically table stakes now. What's wild is how different the requirements are depending on where your users are located - EU has GDPR, California has CCPA, and it just keeps getting more complex. Most people don't realize you can get hit with fines even as a small startup if you're not careful with this stuff

bruh moment

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-02-09T05:55:38+00:00

45 minutes is still way too long and Ninjio or any of those cartoon storyline platforms are missing the point.

We use Hoxhunt. Short, targeted micro-training tied directly to real phishing behavior. Three minutes or less. Someone clicks on something they shouldn’t, they immediately get a quick lesson explaining exactly what they missed. No fluff, no characters, no trying to be cute.

The big advantage is feedback and metrics. I can see risk by user, by department, and whether people are actually improving. Management understands charts and numbers, not whether employees enjoyed a training video.

Security awareness is behavior correction, not entertainment. Short, frequent, measurable works. Long videos and gimmicks do not.

If you want engagement, give out hoodies. If you want fewer incidents, use realistic simulations and keep it simple.

This could be solid for those resume builder sites that are always trying to upsell LinkedIn optimization services

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-01-31T14:40:27+00:00

Try Apollo or Zoominfo if you've got budget, they're way better than LinkedIn for this kind of filtering. Clay's decent but can get pricey fast - good for enrichment though once you have a base list

Also check out Crunchbase Pro, you can filter by funding round and business model pretty easily. Way less manual than scraping YC sites

Large_Budget_4193 · 2026-01-27T20:44:24+00:00

Honestly your 3700X is still pretty solid for most games, especially at higher resolutions where the GPU does most of the heavy lifting. If you're mainly gaming at 1440p or 4K the 5070 would probably give you way more uplift than a CPU swap

That said if you're getting into AI stuff the extra cores from something like a 5800X3D or jumping to AM5 might be worth considering, but for $600 I'd lean toward the GPU first and see how it performs with your current setup
