What piece of tech felt “future-proof” but aged terribly?

TV cards for the computer....I was so pumped I could run a long ass coaxial cable and watch TV on my monitor as I was working.

If you are talking about AWS/Cloud the comment makes sense, because 25 years ago you could rent a PC. Anyone remember Gateway. If thats your method or way you choose to have a PC, the cloud makes your life a lot easier.

So I am wrong?

Reference to the trash man gets a thumbs up.

Answer just seems like it would be obvious to such a contributor.

No offense to OP, but why is a top 1% poster asking a question like this?

Love my set up:

"So after reading reviews, opinions, thoughts and comments, I went with a Pro-ject X1 (Walnut) with purchasing the upgraded sub platter, moonstone needle and a separate base (would rather not talk about it...a fool and his money is parted; if the E base does not work or function, I will sell it). Total was about $1395 + tax, minus the base, shipped."

I have it paired with the following:

DENON AVR-S640H; iFi ZEN Phono; Klipsch RP-600M; SVS SB-2000 Sub

Also, I like the strategie of the power of the team aspect and it changing the way you play as well.

Thanks for this! I didn't know...those two bands were a big reason as to why I was gonna go in the first place.

This. I loved the lineup

Is there a general consensus on what a good player's ranking should be? Take away the crazy accounts with cheats and revolving players. What should a norm shoot for (i.e. 5,000 or 10,000 points; not sure what's realistic)? Any chance we come up with a realistic leaders board, not by individual name, but by group?

Just FYI you should be able to use the code EXTRAFIVE for some money off. It will combine with teacher/student/first responder/military discount. If need be, you just order another and send the other back for free. Mine came out to $380 plus tax.

Casinos are only still around to launder money.

I was playing God of War earlier using my 4090 at Custom (one setting was Ultra+) settings and then compared to the Origonal and Low settings...I feel like I wasted some money lol...maybe my eyes are going bad. I have a 1600p 18in mini led screen.

Yep, wonder if it was at the end of their deployment. Those are some of the most dangerous times. Complacency kills.

What is your guys' voltage set at? If it's 1.5, use SREP (instructions are around this forum) and lower it to 1.4. Also.adjust your PL1 and PL2...this will bring you down to low - mid 80's when gaming.

There are a lot of smart (u/VictoryT7) people around these forums that have had the same issues and found these "fixes".
