That connector is bad, it was a poor design (in a lot of ways) with little headroom and then they did poor implementation of it as well (middle of the card aimed at glass). The fact that they implemented a check to make sure it was in all the way (which doesn't work well enough obviously) tells you they knew it was an issue.
I won't argue, PC power doesn't need a makeover but get a consortium of the people involved to do it (power supply, motherboard, video card, and cpu manufacturers), this way you get something that you all agree on, can spot problems early, and will become a functional standard for the next 20 years. Side note, they actually are working on this now, it will be a second slot behind the pcie slot that will provide power through the motherboard and provides up to 800 watts (I think).
I know that exists in some form already, Asus has this thing called BTF but you need a specific motherboard and GPU that won't work on boards that don't have this feature (so like every motherboard except a few). It's a much more steady solution if you ask me, but this whole idea just reminds me how archaic this whole concept of having separate components coming from all different manufacturers is. apple taking the move to just bake in the motherboard, cpu, gpu and storage into one big component is way closer to what I'd like to see. runs so much faster and more efficient, and would be way easier to optimize unified hardware packages for gaming and other applications. AMD and maybe intel are poised to make the same leap that apple did, but no idea why it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Well, you're in luck. SP recently reached out to me informing that this will be entering presale soon(ish). So, this will be SA, and happening relatively soon!

Wait for the class action = Profit ?
not a terrible idea.. I bought a macbook about 10 years ago, so many class actions on it that I basically got the whole thing refreshed for free (I dropped it onto pavement a year or two into my ownership so this was perfect lol). though, if you ask me, the ship has sailed for good 4090 deals. a lot of people were dumping their cards after the 5090 announcement in jan and that was the perfect time to buy one. prices have swung up higher than they were before the 5000 series was announced now.

Off Topic / Cutting Medicare/caid
« Last post by tp4tissue on Thu, 22 May 2025, 10:31:22 »So.... In 'Murica, we primarily have "sick" care, as opposed to "health" care.
We feed the people with bad self control all the grease/carcinogenic meats, then we try to extend their life slightly with pills and surgery which operate on some symptoms, but do not cure the underlying disease/ bad life habits.
Cutting medicare/medicaid, net result is, less money to "subsidized" bad health.
Most of this money is fundamentally funding the junk-food, meat+grease lifestyle.
People who have good health/ habits, generally don't need medicare medicaid.
It's going to be bad for people with legitimate medical emergencies, so, assuming a fraction of those with large labor potential's life is cut short, there might be a small percentage downtrend for productivity.
What we'll visibly see more of on the surface are cases like older people who can't pee (Prostate), and those who die 2-10 years earlier without the cholesterol/blood pressure medication.
Insulin might become an issue, but not much larger than it already is.
Fohat always talks about Depopulate, well, this will do it.

No surprises here: it's crap. 8GB VRAM and the 3060 Ti and 3070 regularly throw punches with or surpass it.
They're trying to do similar to Gamers Nexus, they're just scared to pull the trigger and really anger Steve.
Nvidia keeps telling us they hate us (gamers and youtubers) and don't want to deal with us and how we're such a drag on their bottom line, so don't buy from them and you can make everyone happy.

It's simcade to an extent, and Tp4 is reminded just how "less fun" more realistic drifting actually is, because of spin outs and how the high inertia of the car means it feels like steering a big brick. So, this ain't RidgeRicer.
Performance wise, lots of stutter because of UE5, not sure this was the right call, even though it "looks great."

Interest Checks / [IC] Cornix Split Low-Profile Board
« Last post by Metakeebs on Thu, 22 May 2025, 08:08:49 »Hi, Charels from MetaKeebs
I'm also an enthusiast of 40% and split keyboards, so thats why I founded Metakeebs to bring more of the designs I love to life.
Partnering with Jezail, we’re proud to introduce the Cornix Low-Profile Split Board—a keyboard that blends premium aluminum construction
and refined surface finishes with a surprisingly accessible price point.
We’ve also reimagined the classic Corne layout with thoughtful, functional tweaks that enhance both aesthetics and usability.
Personally, I adore this board, and I hope you will too!
I have used many 3D-printed split boards,
but few people or brands are willing to produce exquisite CNC aluminum cases for such a small market. This has greatly troubled me.
Under such demand, I reached a cooperation with Jezail and decided to jointly create this exquisite split board - Cornix.
The Cornix Split Board is Jezail’s 2025 entry into a new frontier of ergonomic keyboards. Inspired by the classic split board Corne,
we refined its layout with key modifications—including an added tenting mode—to accommodate a wider range of users.
We named it Cornix, embodying our commitment to delivering a truly elegant and comfortable typing experience.
While retaining the signature 3x6 column-staggered layout, our engineering team introduced three major upgrades:
- Expanded Thumb ClusterBuilding on the Corne’s original 3-key thumb arc, Cornix adds 3 extra programmable keys per side.
This enhances stability in tenting mode while preserving muscle memory for 40% keyboard enthusiasts and reducing the learning curve
for new ortholinear users.
-Patented Adjustable Tenting MechanismUser tests confirm that our exclusive tenting system (with adjustable angles) significantly
reduces wrist strain and RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) during prolonged typing compared to flat keyboards.
- Premium CNC Aluminum CaseWhile most split boards rely on DIY 3D-printed cases, Cornix features a multi-color anodized
CNC aluminum chassis Rebuilt with Kailh Choc V2 low-profile switches it offers Jezail’s proprietary LCK (transparent PC) or
LAK (PBT low-profile) keycaps—elevating both functionality and CMF (Color-Material-Finishing) aesthetics.
Layout:
Specifications
-Material: 6063 aluminum (sandblasted + anodized)
-Layout: Fully remappable via VIA/VIAL
-Colors: Glacier Silver / Meteor Black / Aurora Purple / Flame Red
-Connectivity: Wired (USB-C) + Bluetooth
-Tenting Angles: 10°, 18°, 25° (adjustable)
-Plate: FR4
-Switches: Kailh Choc V2 (pre-installed)
-Keycaps:
-LCK: Transparent PC (low-profile)
-LAK: PBT dye-sublimated (low-profile)
Key Features Highlight
✔ Ortholinear 3x6 + 6-thumb-key layout – Balances tradition and ergonomic innovation.
✔ Multi-angle tenting – Scientifically optimized for wrist health.
✔ High-end CNC aluminum case – Rare in split keyboards, offering durability and premium feel.
✔ Kailh Choc V2 + custom keycaps – A refined typing experience for low-profile enthusiasts.
