An open letter to Epic from dozens of gamers I've spoken to: Stop exclusives, do great free games more occasionally instead of shovelling games that won't really get too much play think pubg (lol)+ sea of theives, among us etc, games that are for whatever reason horrendously popular with people. Make the epic launcher more functional and less good looking - copy steam where you have to within the law, then just win because of honest competition and cheaper prices. I hate exclusivity and it makes people talk shit about you, you're coming across like the rich kid who pays all his friends to be at his party just to get a girl to come over. Stop being cringe or I will legit pay more money to not use your services bc I don't support third party exclusivity and I don't have faith it will stop once you guys have some mindshare. Ty.

Its kind of funny all the back and forth about companies trying to get better hardware for AI and especially deep learning. I work in deep learning research, but specifically in computer vision with medical images. Probably the biggest bottle neck for medical images (radiology and cell slide images) is the software, not the hardware support. Right now, there is a massive bottleneck in simply trying to load the images (especially in my case, since 3D scans) into the hardware for the actual computations to occur. It would be great if these companies could listen to the researchers and put money into the aspects they actually need.

Meanwhile, I just bought an HP OEM RX 480 4GB card on eBay for 275, wondering if I made the right decision or not, and just hoping I didn't get scammed or saw dusted too badly, but it was about the only thing I could afford that was readily available and not marked up to the 400- 500 range for similar. Seller seemed to have legit feedback though and not some shady upstart. I figured if it was an OEM card, maybe nobody was crypto mining on it, but I'm worried it might be a bit cut down too much, hopefully just a memory thing and way less powerful compared to others at that price range.

Well one good thing about the EU is they are currently working on laws about taxing heavily cryptocurrency miners. This is why we can't have nice things - there are always some greedy a holes who just can't get enough money and destroy what is otherwise a nice idea. This is the first time i support the EU government regarding new tax implementation. At least we know how things are with the first gen of any tech, so the next gen AMD GPUs would really destroy in Ray Tracing. Maybe then if we have as expected 30% taxation on crypto deals, we might be able to buy one.

Why didn't they just went with 16GB VRAM? It would be right in the middle between the 3080 (10GB) and the 3090 (24GB)?
2GB more VRAM seems like a waste for 300 more (i won't add scalper prices). I rather spent 700 more for 14GB more VRAM on a 3090. But I won't buy a GPU for more than 100% of MSRP. And I would like to a a Asus Strix 3090 OC White edition but you only get them for like 3000+ (I would spend max 2200 , which still is like 500 over MSRP) and I really need one, because a GTX 970 with a R9 5900x is basically unplayable.

TSMC has no excuse, they should have installed industrial grade trillion dollars battery backup systems after seeing Samsung fabs go through so many of those power outages with so many professionals on social media complaining about how Samsung has no integrity for lacking battery backup to protect fab equipment. TSMC just will use this and the drought as an excuse for why they have slacked on expansion of capacity even after many years of sitting on record profits being the economic driver of that island.

If governments were serious about preventing e-waste, they should start by increasing the minimum legal warranty on non-consumable electronics (things like CPUs, GPUs, RAM, etc. that aren't generally considered wear items due to historically lasting 10, 15, 20 years and beyond) to five years. Nearly all of my PC components except PSUs, a couple of HDDs and fans were still working by the time I retired them 10-15 years later. Going down to 90 days is insanity regardless of use case.

They could use the same exact trick as the first electricity meter sold by Thomas Edison. Just pass the current through a galvanic cell and weigh the precipitate to determine total ampere-hours of electricity consumed. No blockchain necessary. To prevent bypassing, just put a Warranty void if removed sticker on the cell.

I liked Msi they was my go to company for all my clients pc builds.i started a local pc and repair shop and also was giving away computers to families who need one during the pandemic.i had a bad customer service call with msi and didn't go well so they lost me as a customer that prob spends 100k year with them
