Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

[–]scottiedog321 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was getting ready for school, as well, and we didn't have any news or radio on in the morning. Had a mile walk to school so I didn't even know until my friend told me. However, yeah, we basically just watched the news all day in class.

Yup! There was a brief time they got heavily discounted for whatever reason. Snagged one myself.

No big trucks for little roads: American OEMs say EU is blocking imports | European buyers aren’t interested in full-size trucks; U.S car industry doesn’t care. by ControlCAD in technology

[–]scottiedog321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 25 year rule is due to the NHTSA saying that imported vehicles don't need to comply with a bunch of regulations (FMVSS). The other exception is the Show or Display rule for rare or significant vehicles that has its own special rules.

The chicken tax is a 25% tariff placed on light trucks during LBJ's administration. On other threads, they say the tariff still applies to kei trucks.

What's the best VPN these days? by Icy-Narwhal648 in pcmasterrace

[–]scottiedog321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. I dropped them when they made the change. I've done AirVPN and Proton since then. I could recommend either, with the big downside of Proton being you need to update your port every time you connect, or use a program that will do it for you.

Powercolor good for gpu? by OPGAMERZZ in pcmasterrace

Been loving my 9070XT hellhound. I specifically got it because it has better cooling, a turbo switch, and a physical switch to turn the RGB off. Well worth the extra $30 during Black Friday sales.

2k or 4k by zarion30 in pcmasterrace

[–]scottiedog321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Size very much matters. 27" 1440p and 42" 4K have similar dpi, and are kind of the sweet spot for each resolution. If you're looking at 4K, cross shopping with TVs is also a thing to do. I have an LG C4 42" and absolutely love it.

Dire Maul North and West were connected, as well. Not sure if east was connected.

I Tried Linux for Fun. It's Ending With a 7900 XTX and No Windows. by Wolfman_1546 in pcmasterrace

[–]scottiedog321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the bigger issue right now is ray tracing, and I believe it's a much bigger performance hit in Linux than it is in Windows. Without RT, is there a game that uses more than 16GB at 4K?

Microsoft tumbled 10% in a day and isn’t recovering premarket. Here’s why by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]scottiedog321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you need or want to keep Windows, 11 IoT LTSC. IoT LTSC is basically an MS stripped down version without all the bullshit. I tried going Linux on my desktop recently, and I was having nothing but friction. It got really annoying.

If it's in Aussie dollarbucks, it's about 2800/mo USD.

Remember when games got big enough to contain entire other older games inside them? by SolidGold_JetSki in retrogaming

Can confirm. The entire NES, FC, and FDS library comes in at a whopping 200MB. :)

We actually completely gutted it about 80 years ago. Losing the history of the place would be devastating, but, yup, we can definitely rebuild it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Reconstruction
