  • 3 of my 4 desktops are running AM4. My main rig has a 5950x, the home theater PC has a 5500 and my wife's gaming rig has a 5600. I rebuilt the HTPC several months ago and specifically went with AM4 for price to performance (and because it's a Linux box)

  • $1,000 car loan payments are on the rise, stressing household budgets

  • Marketing and vehicle regulations have made it more profitable for car manufacturers in North America to sell trucks and large SUVs as "family cars", so over the last 30+ years the industry has been pushing them hard. Trucks and SUVs are classified as light trucks, which have different fuel economy requirements which are more laxed than those for passenger cars. Small cars are being marketed out.

    So of course it boils down to corporate greed chasing more money as well as garbage regulations. That's why the Ford f150 is almost always the best selling vehicle in the US.

    Not Just Bikes has a few videos on the topic.

  • If only one of these disgruntled former FBI agents would just leak the unredacted Epstein files as a final "fuck you" for being fired. Hell, leak anything, leave the country and leak that shit. Take one for the team. They don't care about you, why keep covering shit up?

  • Call of Duty Warzone.

    When it first released it was a very fun battle royale, a much better implantation than CoD's first go at it, Blackout. You could actually buy back your teammates if they die, they added the Gulag as a chance to come back if you're killed, you can create loadouts and use money you find in game to buy them. The map was big and expansive and you could usually find some interesting places to drop and not get absolutely dumped on immediately.

    My friends and I played it for a long time, both on PS4 and later PC. When they moved the map to Black Ops Cold War's version I'd argue it was a bit of an improvement even though all the Cold War guns outshined the Modern Warfare 2019 guns. That was the start of the decline in my eyes. Making the guns from the new game perform better than from the old one was how they pushed you to buy the new CoD so you could level up the guns and play better in Warzone.

    Warzone moved to Vanguard's Caldera map, which I think was a fantastic map, had some cool limited time modes and events, but at first they had some kind of issue with the light rendering because it wasn't the easiest to spot enemies or items on the map. They fixed that and it was fine, we had some amazing games and lots of fun on Caldera.

    Then they released Warzone 2.0 (which was arguably Warzone 4.0 but that's an argument for a different day) using the Modern Warfare 2 engine. It was a very bad Warzone. The map was boring, the sound effects like hit markers by default were new and ear piercingly awful, and whatever rendering system they used made it extremely difficult to see enemies. Keep in mind I'm running this game on a 3090 so it's not a graphics issue, it's an engine one. Also on that note, the game literally struggled to run on my friends 3070 and 3060 12G cards. It was bad.

    We stopped playing for a long time, moved onto other things, then did try again when MW3's version came out. It was fine, map was better but the engine still had the rendering enemies issue.

    Between the bad changes they made, the horrible monetization with the obnoxious skins and shit, at one point there was a gun you could only unlock through the battle pass or buy a skin for later which was an OP gun, and a plague of other issues we stopped playing. The game stopped being a fun shooter with friends and just became a slog to play. If we could go back to the original 2020 Warzone we would, but even when they rereleased Verdansk in MW3 it wasn't the same.

  • It Took Less Than a Quarter for NFL Fans to Be Sick of AI Ads During Super Bowl LX

  • It felt like half the ads were either fully AI generated, used AI slop or were for an AI slop factory company. It turned the game tonight into "which ads aren't AI slop" for me.

  • Reminds me of my grandfather, these kids kept knocking his mailbox down with baseball bats. After the second time it was hit, he put up a new one filled with concrete. The very next morning there was half a wooden baseball bat on the ground and a dent in the mailbox. They never did it again.

  • What's up with "Plex Servers"?

    Jump

  • I am Plex Guy, my friend is Plex Guy, between the 2 of us we share our servers to over a dozen people. My mom and grandma use my server in another state, I don't charge anyone access. In total I have 8 users on my server, my friend has probably the same on his, with both of us giving access to a different friend meaning he has access to double the amount of content.

    I got absolutely fed up with subscription services raising prices and removing content (I only ever had Hulu and Netflix) so I just built my own service. My only subscription now is a Tidal family plan for myself, my wife and my mom.

    Also it's interesting how between these 2 servers, they're built differently. I built mine using TrueNAS and housed it in a dedicated PC case large enough for all the drives, my buddy made his as a Windows server, and has everything wall mounted with custom 3D printed brackets.

    Also, when I go to Brazil for vacation, my content isn't region locked, it's at home in a box on my living room that I just access with no VPN or any bullshit needed.

  • The geriatric out of touch pushovers aren't going to term limit themselves out of office, they won't pass a term limit. It'll require a full purge of these geezers with younger politicians to be able to get that passed. Unless we get an influx of younger candidates willing to implement term limits, we're stuck like this.

    Todd Howard at 12:01 "Hey guys, I'm excited to announce the launch of Fallout 5, our largest map in any Bethesda game, it's literally the entire planet! Graphics will have 16 times the detail, unless you need glasses, and your carry capacity will be based on your very own actual strength. Weapon variety will greatly depend on which country or state you live in. We'll be releasing this new augmented reality experience starting right after the first bomb drops. Oh and one more thing, we did run out of time on development, so we don't have a Pip-Boy for you and there are no Vaults. Good luck!"

  • USPS Announces Changes to the Postmark Date System

  • No, we can't. Boxes have to be picked up daily, that rule isn't going to change. There's a barcode inside each blue box that must be scanned daily, plus not picking up the mail is delaying the mail, which is a federal offense

  • Had this issue once, 2 drives kept not initializing during boot, rebooting a few times got them to register but showed drive errors. I thought either the drives or my SAS card was dying. Fully reseating the connectors fixed it and haven't had an issue since.
