Launch availability sucks as usual, too. Thought I had an XFX from NewEgg until I got the “voided due to insufficient stock” email. Thanks for wasting my morning, NewEgg.

This is me. Spanking new 9800x3d with an RTX 3080. I’m not unhappy but I’d planned to buy a new video card by now. 😄

Bunch of greedy ass geezers. I’ve been watching the MSI RTX 5090 Liquid Suprim SOC. Announced at 2,499. B&H initially had it at that price, then 2,789, then 2,799, then back to 2,789. US MSI store also went to 2,799. Haven’t seen a price yet on NewEgg.

Edit: Just noticed that I’d said “4090” instead of “5090”. This has been corrected. Apologies for the typo.

After years of releasing its games exclusively on the Epic Store

I thought I bought Valhalla through UPlay or whatever you call it. When did that come out?

Edit: AC Valhalla was released on Nov 10, 2020. Furthermore, Wikipedia says

On PC, the game was an Epic Games Store-exclusive title until December 6, 2022, when it was released on Steam.

but I just checked and the only game I ever bought on Epic was Kena Bridge of Spirits.

I haven’t thought about ISDN in ages. IIRC I had to get a serial expansion card with a faster UART to get the benefit, which was…eh, dubious. Twice nothing is still nothing LMAO.

My Outlook stubbornly refuses to stop giving me email. 😑

Edit: Just checked Bleeping Computer. They’ve got the story. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-365-outage-impacts-exchange-online-teams-sharepoint/

Ty! I’ll do some research in that direction.

I’m about to rebuild my dev box and I’m seriously considering a Kinoite host with a Windows 10 LTS guest. Anyone have a good Fedora-centric guide to kvm?

I was afraid it’d be like pandemic-era availability what with all the scalping but I snagged one from NewEgg today on my third try. First all-new build in seven years!

Edit: Hope the scalpers lose their collective ass on this one. ✌🏻

We finally dropped them after this bullshit. Also Loki S2 was bad.

For me, I think it will. Love my moto.

Had mixed results on Samsung Z Flip 4. One had the inner screen die right after the warranty was up. Other is still going strong, though the permanent screen protector has separated at the hinge.

Did you read the article? Biden made many of Trump’s tarrifs permanent and Harris, while critical of Trump’s tarrifs, hasn’t put forth her own plan or disowned the Biden strategy.

Edit: Fucksake, Lemmy. It says this in the article. I said nothing positive or negative about either candidate or their positions on tarrifs. 😆

I think it’s fine if Microsoft has their own nuclear power plant as long as every Microsoft corporate officer is required to live downwind of it. ✌🏻

Wouldn’t it be nice if documentation used the words index and offset consistently?

I just learned this myself. Motorola Mobility is owned by Lenovo.

Hey, sometimes you need to hose out the cruft.

Why yes, I do maintain a legacy application that still stores user files in Program Files in blatent violation of 15 years of Windows best practices and continues to be done contrary to my repeated advice, why do you ask?

Aye, looks like that’s where we be heading, maytee.

The trap closes.

I made an effort to learn it. In 2000. Again in 2012 or whenever the last big push was. If past is prologue, I may need to learn it again soon. 😆
