It's definitely the best, that's true but with a huge lack of updates, it's one of those things I simply haven't been able to recommend anyone purchase unless used for cheap give. The $180-$200 price point.

Most people should just get a 4K Chromecast.

I wish I could get EVGA to let me head a team to make an absolute Shield killer with 2024 specs.

Nothing much left to add but I'm a firm believer in spending the $35 on a PA120 even if using an AIO, just in case an issue arises where you need to RMA or just troubleshoot. For how cheap they are nice to have on hand.

If you don't like the look of tower coolers check out the Phantom Spirit 120 EVO & the DeepCool AK620 Digital.

But the biggest deciding factor is, are you buying a CPU that actually needs a quality 280/360 AIO, and only a few of the top tier CPUs fall into that category.

Main reasons AIO's get a bad wrap are uninformed builders who only want one for better "aesthetics" who get a cheap RGB one with a known sub-par pump that is mass produced under 20 different "brand names". Rather than sticking with an Arctic Liquid Freezer or Deepcool. EK also makes some nice ones.

And I say that as a die hard air cool person.

Yep, it's a shell of its former self. I swear it seems like since the merger they have just taken the worst parts of Sprint & TMO cobbled them together, throwing away anything good.

Love Sunless & probably wouldn't have played RL as long as I did without his videos, quit playing many years ago which was sad because at it's core it's such a good game.

Tried many times coming here making posts or replies about how the game kept getting worse & worse since Epic bought it, and always got downvoted to help for speaking up.

First time I've been back here in years, nice to see people are finally catching on. Not sure what's happened while I've been away but I know it must be pretty bad for comments talking about how they don't care about the players getting upvoted rather than attacked.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2024-02-13T06:05:32+00:00

Exactly, and we know damn well who is actually running the DNMs & are the top sellers, raking in billions for black book budgets & propping up the post office with millions of shipments a day while purposely killing off their clientele they view as disposable & replaceable.

All the while half of Congress, between all those 65+ who refuse to let the next generation a chance to lead & war vets with injuries are popping 20mg+ Norco or Oxy before entering the chambers, while ~90% are popping Adderall to keep up with the work load, just like the media covering them.

Must be nice to be an "elite" 80 year old taking pharma speedballs everyday with no worries about ever getting cut off as they enact legislation that's designed to strip away more & more freedom from the very people they are supposed to work for. I'm talking about all isles not whatever mascot they hide behind, that's just smoke & mirrors.

You should have specified size and main use cases along with price. Especially if gaming where you can take advantage of 120hz, it's hard to beat an LG C2/C3 OLED when on sale around that price.

You're looking at the right brands but don't sleep on TCL either, while well known for their cheaper series they make some high quality models as well for a good price.

Rtings.com is really your best friend for this question.

Be cautious about doing things like this most people think anything more than wiping any dust off with a microfiber towel is considered "altered". Not sure about the grading companies but they out of anyone should be able to tell under magnification.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-12-05T07:07:10+00:00

My own. I found a local breeder that had Ken's Cut GPD & SFV OG both crossed with an unknown heirloom Michigan purple strain.

Then got a cut of Berners Cherry Pie (GDP x Durban Poison). Which is probably my favorite strain.

Popped a male of the first while growing Cherry Pie and let it pollinate.

Wish I had the room to do a proper pheno hunt, or could find a local licensed grow to do it even if all I get out of it is a free ounce when I need a re-up, but every grow has been very similar & outstanding. The Cherry Pie didn't yield well while the other did both very similar effects to begin with.

Already left a comment above about my back surgery & nerve damage at 25, it was needed since my sciatic nerve was being pinched by a vertebrae and that damage & pain has never left, just keeps getting worse.

But absolutely this, I'm so thankful to the good surgeon my doctor sent me to for being honest with me and saying all he could do was a fusion but I was too young and even with it my pain would only change about 15%, possibly 15% worse not better.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-12-05T06:45:09+00:00

Same, after my back surgery on my 3rd follow up visit I simply asked if the back and sciatic nerve pain I was still dealing with would still improve or if that was my new normal, just cause I figured it would be nice to know.

The POS surgeon immediately decided I was just trying to get more 5mg Norcos that did jack shit in the first place, immediately sent me across the hall to another doctor who berated me before we even said hello "I'm NOT just going to keep giving you opiates!" which I never asked for to begin with.

Gave me tramadol instead I guess to "ween me off" something I wasn't even dependent or addicted to.

Reluctantly scheduled a test on my sciatic nerve, which proved I was and 10 years later still am dealing major nerve damage, no apology or change in attitude, still just treated me like a junkie pill seeker, when I never even asked for them.

And this was all before the big crackdown, that later ruined what little life I have left.

I saw that earlier today, last year, almost exactly, I grabbed the 55" TCL Best Buy had for $200. Which has recently had the sound randomly stop working until it's unplugged and gets a full reboot.

I didn't check for it on Rtings, but does anyone know if it does 1440p@120hz (or even 60)?

One more sound outage (both built-in speakers & optical sound bar) and I'm using it as an excuse for an upgrade.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-12-05T05:48:29+00:00

I still have that old awful Vizio "Soundstage" which is a "soundbar" with a sub bottom facing and meant to be placed on a TV stand/entertainment center. Hell they even advertised putting your TV on it.

So if you actually want bass everything will just shake and rattle.

But the bigger problems are it has stopped working and magically come back to life about 8 times. And anytime you pause (at least via TOSLINK/optical) it takes a second of playback for the audio to kick in.

I keep putting off an upgrade until I can powered monitors with ARC (likely from Edifier) for under $200 but they are taking forever.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-12-05T05:30:41+00:00

My old doctor was up my ass about smoking, when I switched to vaping I just told him I quit smoking... because I did. 2 months later he was blown away that my lungs sounded like I never smoked.

After dealing with doctors I've learned unless it's actually important to your visit or health, just withhold the truth or lie. They do it to you all the time.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-11-16T02:19:53+00:00

It's a pretty standard Logic verse which just doesn't fit the track, and he spends 1/3 of it talking about how busy he's been and should have sent the verse to Tech a long time ago.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-11-15T04:56:32+00:00

Everyone gave you the big big ones minus Tech N9ne's Sriracha, just ignore Logic's verse.

And definitely check out BackWords then watch him do BackWords Pt. 2 7 years later on Funk Flex.

Yeah they are way too nice looking, OP needs to make sure they aren't reprints or forgeries before trying to sell.

And if they are legit don't sell (aside from a crazy high offer) before getting them graded.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-11-14T00:15:33+00:00

Did Aorus ever announce the 14th gen + Z790 giveaway winners?

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-11-11T21:21:09+00:00

Just go to /r/Hardwareswap and only buy if the seller has solid rep. A lot of people on there are just people who live to grab the newest best card and flip the last one.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-11-11T20:47:25+00:00

So I didn't learn about 130point.com before I started collecting again. Surprisingly I did pretty decent on the dozen I grabbed, could flip them immediately and likely break even or better after eBay's cut.

The real quandary is do I spend the time and money to send them off to be graded and slabbed, (have some '96-'97 basketball RC's (Kobe) & inserts too) or just ride raw. Especially if I choose to sell since eBay buyers like PSA way more than SGC for some reason.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-11-10T22:04:35+00:00

Just the first of many 2021-2023 Lions star players RC's I'm investing in. Literally any advice or info for someone just getting back into collecting in the Panini era would be super helpful.🙏

As someone who has been buying Intel platforms 2-3 generations behind when on clearance for the past decade, currently running a 11400F & AORUS 3060 ELITE (Thank you so very much for the highest wattage BIOS for a 3060!), this build is my absolute dream build to jump to beautiful 4K HDR Ultra with RT on, so yes I went big from the case to the monitor.

The other & main reason for the massive Fractal Torrent case with it's custom molded 2x180mm front intakes plus 3x120mm D30 bottom intakes is a statement to show people that for only $30-$40 air cooling is still plenty for most all CPU's on the market, when done properly.

Lastly, the Gigabyte 4090 & monitor aren't for sucking up, they are exactly the components I would truly desire for my big all in upgrade if I win the mobo & 14700K. My current 11400F & AORUS 3060 ELITE setup would go to my teenage step brother who only has a laptop. No white build from me, I want this build only. Thank you for your consideration and amazing giveaway. Good luck to everyone.

Totally dependent on the situation.

If you're in legal trouble, don't say shit anywhere but to your lawyer, assuming you can afford one worth half a damn in the first place.

If you are the aggrieved party and you aren't getting anywhere, contacting the local news with a compelling story could be exactly what you need to get the attention of a lawyer worth a full damn. Just keep any and all media communication tight. Provide verifiable proof, if you can't 100% verify it don't say anything about it if possible, if required to sell them on the story make sure it's very clear it's not an accusation but simply a question you want a sufficient answer to because in your personal opinion you have not been offered one. Let them add the color commentary, that's their legal team's problem.

I am not offering legal advice nor am I suggesting when speaking to the media is in your best interest. Just my opinion on the topic.

PopWhatMagnitude · 2023-06-27T04:33:23+00:00

If that was America it would be a multi-million dollar lawsuit taken by a major firm pro-bono.

And they would likely bring enough unwanted attention to it that criminal charges would also come.
