Tonight I ordered a Ryzen 7 5800X for less than $200. I decided to look up the current pricing of my current CPU, a Ryzen 7 2700X and found that it's going for upwards of $400. Why so high? I haven't that much when I first got it.

Why is the 2700X priced higher than the 5800X?

They're like $30 on amazon (cheapest I've seen is 16)

I've ended up getting a keyboard with built in trackball center left of the keyboard. It's not perfect but it'll do.

Isn't that usually something that depends on the GAME settings, not the rodent? I.e. moving the rodent relative up means you move forward, moving the rodent up while holding down the left button means your view tilts upwards, and so on. I think there are some with built-in hat switches or thumbstic...

WASD, arrow buttons, etc.

Basically, a left handed mouse that let's you look around in a game and be able to move your character.

As some of you may know, last August I was diagnosed with Parkinson's(*), which is affecting the right side of my body (sluggishness of limb response, twitchy hand, etc..). Heck, even before the diagnosis I had trouble with fine motor control with my right arm, preventing me to properly play FPS and...

I do QA at work, so I go around inspecting assembly areas. ME, inspecting a co-workers work. Mullet Man [pretending to be a dude-bro tough guy]: YO <ME>! You're in the wrong block bro!

I meant for the Venting and missed it by a mile.

crap. wrong thread.

I loved the relationship between G'Kar and Londo. They were great. I'd like to see something like that in the reboot.

I found the thirteenth Doctor's companions more interesting than the Doctor herself. I barely managed to watch Whittaker's first season and special. Didn't bother with the rest. I'll probably buy the box set after she leaves. I have nothing against Jodie, but there's no emotional investment with her...

Today I learned that I can't watch Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" and not end up teary eyed. I mean, I've listened to that song many, many times but never saw the video until today.

It may been quite a while since I've read a Discworld novel, but to me I find the portrayal of Vimes to be off. I like the character but to me it isn't true the novels. I've always pictured him as a world weary every day man, a police captain that knows how the world work, yet still try to uphold th...

nope. Can't see a thing. *opens eyes* Now I just see a grey circle with a white bar in the middle.

If ammonium nitrate is about half as powerful as TNT, and they had 2.5-3 tons of it, then that alone -not counting the grain silo or fireworks warehouse- was about 1/5th the explosive power as the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Can someone check my math here? Not 2.5 to 3 tons. Its 2,750 tonnes.

It is almost like Trump doesn't know how a business is run.

On the contrary, it is an exceedingly complex question, for anyone who isn't an utter moron or a shameless liar. As anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows, there are multiple possible directions things could develop over the next several months. We could see Trump appearing to "legi...

He'll be missed.

Checking through his profile, it seemed like he went to the hospital for stomach cancer.

When the NFL returns, I want to see more players kneel when the national anthem is played and if this moron will complain again.

“China has, over the objections of the U.S. government, impaired the operating rights of U.S. carriers,” U.S. Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary Joel Szabat wrote to Chinese airlines in a public letter. So, let me get this straight. A member of the United States government has gone on...

Since when does Amazon subcontract to the postal service anyway? Everything I've bought off them has been delivered by their own drivers, and I thought that was standard worldwide. Every physical item I've ever bought from Amazon was transported to me by the post office. Now, that could be due to w...

This is weird. https://www.beyondships2.com/faq-bulbous-bow.html Bulbous bow is not ice breaker (normally) but is stream liner. Icebreaker design below is basically shallow front hull that climbs and uses reinforced ship spin to bring full weight down on ice. I wonder if the attempted shouldering c...
