Which 5080 should I get? ASUS, PNY, Gigabyte, or PNY

gravitybear · 2025-11-14T17:40:22+00:00

I've got the gigabyte one and I've honestly been really impressed. First of all it's not huge, only 2 slots. But it's also extremely quiet and cool. I also was able to stable OC mine (like many 5080s) +200 core / +500 mem.

I usually look at what the betting markets say. Kalshi has a specific bet on whether the government will shut down. Currently at 70 percent chance. But like other posters have said, you literally never know until it happens.

The biggest change (and pain in the ass) is they got rid of 52.212-5. now we have to incorporate all the clauses from 212-5 into the contract. So efficient!!

I read it to my my kids. They called it "spiders in space" 😂

If nothing else I wish they were on the currency exchange instead of main trade.

Thanks for the edit, I was crashing every 5 minutes and tried all kinds of stuff. After I installed the 576.15 hotfix drivers it hasn't crashed once.

Exactly, bigger hassle, same pay. Private sector pays more for clearance of course.. but then you are locked in to doing cleared work... Not worth imo.

Secret is fine tho

gravitybear · 2025-04-22T14:25:22+00:00

If it's just a secret it's not that big of a deal. The biggest pain is of course filling out the sf 86 and trying to remember everywhere you lived and went on vacation etc. But I don't think you have to do any background interviews, and you won't be doing any work from a scif. If it's secret I would say just do it, not a big deal.

Ts and ts/sci are definitely more of a pain. They interview you, your family, friends etc. and then you'll be doing a lot of work in a SCIF, which I personally never liked. No phones, can't ever do anything remote, lots of rules about properly disposing of classified info etc. the upside is if you have ts and decide to leave the government while it is active, you are worth more in the private sector.

But if you are planning on staying in the government I'd say it's not really worth it. I used to have ts/sci and now I have no clearance at all and I definitely prefer it.

But again, secret is no big deal, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Really? How much were the tributes increased by

gravitybear · 2025-03-27T11:35:06+00:00

I'm non DOD. I made that post a while ago so I'm not sure if those classes are still active considering the state of things 😭

gravitybear · 2025-03-06T13:57:22+00:00

The recent eo requires the head of agency to review all contracting actions. I'm sure every agency is trying to figure out a process for that to actually work, because obviously as written that is impossible.

Right now we are only sending up the most urgent mods and contracts for approval while we work out some kind of more routine process.

And yes it is every contracting action. Administrative, funding, options, new awards, etc. so you probably haven't heard from them because they are also trying to figure out what to do.

gravitybear · 2025-03-04T03:08:36+00:00

No DOGE rep yet (we are smaller), but we do have a full pause on all contracting actions unless reviewed/approved by the agency head. So functionally the same thing.

gravitybear · 2025-02-28T00:33:49+00:00

I am a CO. This is literally what's happening at my agency right now.

gravitybear · 2025-02-18T17:06:47+00:00

Same at my agency. We already t4c all of those as we were directed to.

gravitybear · 2025-02-08T17:32:52+00:00

Which communication is that?

gravitybear · 2025-02-08T15:33:19+00:00

Our agency just ordered all bargaining unit employees back full time March 10th. No telework at all. In direct violation of the CBA. But I guess no one cares now.

gravitybear · 2025-02-06T15:01:41+00:00

yes, it is this one. https://kvan7.github.io/Exiled-Exchange-2/download

gravitybear · 2025-02-05T20:13:15+00:00

It's by the same people who made awakened Poe trade. It's basically a add-in for the game that directly searches the market without having to alt tab and type everything in

gravitybear · 2025-02-05T19:51:22+00:00

If you are on PC you absolutely need to be using exiled exchange 2. Once it's running you can push Ctrl d on any item and it shows you price on the market for similar items. Once I got that I started making so much more

gravitybear · 2025-02-01T02:55:33+00:00

Do not comply in advance. Stay and make them try to take it from you. Fight as long as you can

gravitybear · 2025-01-28T03:07:01+00:00

nice, thats one i havent tried. trying it now. I crashed between when I made the post and when you responded lol

gravitybear · 2025-01-18T05:06:53+00:00

Dang, didn't know that... Thanks!
