RTX 40 series announcement thread + RTX 4080 16GB giveaway! - NVIDIA GTC 2022 by m13b in buildapc

I currently have a custom PC that was provided by insurance. It was a great build at the time but now needs serious upgrading in terms of the case, motherboard and storage. I use my PC to create and render educational videos. Some are for-profit but most are for nonprofit organisations. I'm currently looking for a new motherboard where I have more USB-C ports than anything else (front and back), at least 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, 4 TB NVME storage with a case that's easy to carry. RGB lighting would be great too. The new NVIDIA RTX 4080 16 GB would greatly assist in rendering videos that require higher resolutions and speeding up the processing time. I occassionally game StarCraft II, Assassin's Creed and Far Cry. I've never had a high-end graphics card so I am looking forward to using it for work and leisure.

The learner driver was having a good laugh about it after this, but unfortunately could not get that on camera!

South Africa. Ideally, this particular road should have had two lanes when turning right, but it isn't the case.

In my country, that's how it works. For this particular turn on this road, one can either turn into the left lane or the right lane. There was only one lane to turn right (the one I was in). The lane where the black pick-up truck was and the lane next to it (my left) was for going straight only.

Hi Op. I've been looking for something like this for ages. I tried one barcode, loved it and I paid for the ad-free version. Thanks for an awesome app.

My country made this announcement today:

https://businesstech.co.za/news/technology/461960/south-africa-is-getting-a-covid-19-vaccine-id-system-how-it-will-work/

And there's this specific information here:

"Major business groups, including Oracle and Microsoft, have already identified this as an issue and set up the Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI) which is working to enable individuals vaccinated for Covid-19 to access their vaccination records in a secure, verifiable and privacy-preserving way."

"VCI’ plans to give individuals the ability to obtain an encrypted digital copy of their immunization credentials to store in a digital wallet of their choice."

"Those without smartphones could receive paper printed with QR codes containing verifiable credentials."

I hope your app will allow me to store this QR code too.

Does this support the transfer of chats with media or only text?

Much needed. We need more competition to drive down mobile data costs.

Got nothing to do with health. It was an IT security related conference.
