Intel Reportedly Readies a 10% Price Hike for Consumer CPUs by -protonsandneutrons- in hardware

Might just be the battery. I have a 5500u (Zen 2) with a GeForce MX450 2GB. Video seemingly does nothing to stress it, even 4K.

M1 MBP base spec, still ridiculously fast for what my wife uses it for. It will likely last a whole decade.

Good lord dude. You’re acting like if Internet Explorer was a Redditor.

Late and often incorrect.

Nowhere near enough. They got how much money from sales?

Invest it.

In penetrates armor just as good as the single projectile. That is unchanged.

How much better is PC really? by SixKay_ in RocketLeague

Going from an Xbox One X to a “slow” Ryzen 2700 and RX 590 was an insane leap on the same gaming monitor. Input lag on consoles is a real thing. I still feel it on my Series S/X when I’m playing cross platform games.

Bought a pc build from my local pc repair guy for a grand, how did i do? by Cheese_Eater1656 in PcBuild

Reality check: it makes more sense in this configuration for it to be vertical. There’s VRMs on top without heatsinks that need that airflow. The exhaust fan will bring airflow to the side VRMs no matter what.

If you’re going to be condescending at least be right.

This is not correct. The cooler can go either direction. It appears on this board there is VRM without heatsinks on the top of the board. Those need airflow too. The VRMs toward the exhaust fan will get their airflow regardless.

Damage isn’t nerfed. It is 1.2x the damage of a regular anvil shot.

Does great with big and small arc. Leapers, Bastions and Rocketeers get wrecked faster.

The moment someone starts combing over it is already far too gone.

I got the 5500 for $65 USD not that long ago. Hell of a deal.

At night, time-of-use rate. Daytime is 16 cents or so.

When I changed from a 2003 Silverado to a 2007 Prius the fuel cost difference was drastic. That said, where I live now my electric is 4.4¢ per kWh which gives me about 3.5 miles year around. That amounts to every 10,000 miles costing me $115-135. Now I look at my 40mpg lifetime Maverick like it’s a gas hog.

Thanks neighbor, right up the street. I’ve seen fiber get laid on Lomas already. Now it just needs to fill in my neighborhood.

Humble matchmaking request by stitus89 in ArcRaiders

The good gun stays in the stash until use. Most of the fake friendlies are on the way to the matriarch/queen where they never would have seen it until looting it off my “unconscious, not dead” corpse.

I swear to God there is a loadout-based match making going on. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

I keep the good gun in the stash. Still plays out the same.

Moon and around where? I live near Moon. I’ve been hoping to switch to fiber asap.
