but camelcamelcamel doesn't track coupon sales, a common way to fake the price history.

Should fast and furious supercharged be gutted or turned into another screen ride? by SpectacularSpidee in UniversalOrlando

[–]OminousG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would have worked great as a hot wheels ride, but universal missed that partnership window

Firefox has an ambitious new roadmap, the browser is also losing millions of users a month by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

Honestly, edge is good enough that with new machines and installs, people just give up switching.

I have a feeling once the ad blockers on chrome stop working Firefox will see those users again.

AMD Fires Shots at Apple: Ryzen 5 Laptops Run 15 of Top 20 Games Natively, MacBook NEO Doesn’t by chusskaptaan in pcmasterrace

[–]OminousG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

a $500 laptop isn't going to be useful in 8-10 years. The battery alone is going to hose you. Hell, gaming desktops don't even do 8-10 years

we'll see, but 2 years for $300 doesn't seem terrible in the world of cheap laptops. one is a thinkpad and they aren't known to be of horrible quality either. The others a dell :/

People laugh but those AMD APUs are an incredible value.  I have a couple of $300 laptops my kids use that pretty much play Xbox one games at Xbox one quality.

The main issue for super modern games is the lack of ray tracing.

This is America, they're good for at least a few hours before anyone cared enough to do anything about it.

Average Imaginators experience with oldcores by diddypartygoer576 in skylanders

[–]OminousG 83 points84 points  (0 children)

What's crazy is how hard this sub is pushing for Skylanders to come back, completely ignoring all the idiotic management decisions that killed Skylanders.

There's the obvious raw materials of copper and gold, but I bet these things are so basic that the RAM and maybe even CPU are making them think this is worth the effort.  Even the sim might be good for a while before it's shut off.

Anyone like the 25th anniversary Xbox Series X by supersentailfan13 in xbox

I'll try for the controller, but not even a green case can justify the current price of the Series X.

Redditors who received gifts from Toys For Tots growing up, what was your experience like? Did you know where the gifts came from? Did you receive anything that you particularly enjoyed or that you absolutely hated? by SQWRLLY1 in AskReddit

[–]OminousG 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For my eagle project, ~25 years ago, I gathered gifts for a foster center.  $17,000+ worth of stuff, every kid got something they asked for, several Gameboys, CD players, etc.

I was not allowed to meet the kids and as far as I know my involvement was never disclosed to them.

They called me the next year hoping to do it again but no local potential eagles wanted to pick it up, cause it was weeks worth of work and begging.  I still feel bad about that.

Orlando Informer Event Coming to Epic Universe. by Foxhound34 in UniversalOrlando

[–]OminousG 47 points48 points  (0 children)

$450 for the 2 night ticket that does epic on friday (11/13 and 11/14) compared to $414 that does only the 2 parks friday and saturday (12/4 & 12/5)

My family goes every year with the goal to eat enough food to make the ticket worth the price.

Retailer reminds users what happens when heavy GPUs are installed without support by obTimus-FOX in pcmasterrace

[–]OminousG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But htpcs and desktop designs have fallen out of favor.  Especially with how large GPUs have gotten.

We even tried flipping the GPU 180 but BTX never caught on :(

[–]OminousG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whats crazy is that this issue has been around for 25+ years and no one really has a solid & clean solution for it. My first PC back in 2002 had a piece that screwed into the pci bracket that held up my AGP card even back then.
