/Regret

Shoulda bought m0ar 32* Dell QDoleds 120hz,  for $350, it was silly not to buy 5.

[tp4tissue]

Go out and BUY EVERYTHING. 

Coat hangers, Oleds, Speakers, etc. 


This is really may be the last chance for a very lonnnnnng time.

An imminent resource shock is locked.  Which means a rationing at the production lvl is locked. 


The PRICE of GPU might be $xxx,  but can you buy one,  NO.  The shelves are empty.

What's the price on the black market, $1000 for a 7800xt.

[tp4tissue]

Ya want to change out GPU thermal paste at least once a year, if you're using thermal paste.

PTM is gud' for  at least 5-10 years.

CPU thermal paste is good for at least 3-5 years.

Earbuds,  feel like there's been nothing kewl lately. sameysamey.

[tp4tissue]

TBH,  don't think any earbuds further should go without ANC.

Earbuds create an unavoidable choouiiiiiiiiiiii wind noise, there's no way to attenuate this (massive distortion) without ANC.

Audiophile passive earbuds are a scam.

earbuds are a scam.

Me, if I can't listen to music out of the air, good ear-enclosing headphones are the only acceptable but inferior substitute.
I really despise ear "buds" ....

People are stupid.

There is an inane compilation of thought devoted to Making a BOX work as if there's no box.


Just leave the side panel off.  It will be more quiet,  less dusty, Run Cooler, AND be cheaper.


All this money being spent on fans, the new aluminum fans, and fancy cases amount to nothing more than Dresses for Cats (Male edition).

[tp4tissue]

Can you beat a Series X for $600 ?

Tp4 thinks probably not. Unless you go used parts.

[fohat.digs]

an inane compilation of thought

That is a profoundly ugly thing to have in your room.

[tp4tissue]

9060xt for $400,  what is wrong with people.

Anything slower than 9070xt is a bad deal.

9070xt for $650 !!!!! <- This is the way.

[tp4tissue]

Boy are we in the gutter.

$400 for Dram-less 4tb TLC, Yikes.

[tp4tissue]

Noctua's  entering AIO.

Ridiculous, it's just asetek rebadge.

They bolted on a SUPER UGLY  "mass damper" for where the pump is, yea......


It's got a bunch of silicone struts in there, those thing wear out and go hard/soft/brittle etc,  whatever the tuned attenuation is will move over time.

This is just a wash. If you're not going to design a better pump, why bother.

Might as well buy Thermalright 360 AIOs for $50 vs $250

With Arctic, at least they made their own.

If you spend $200 with Thermalright, you get a 360 AIO w/ wrap around OLED @ 2400x1800 resolution.

People are stupid.

People ARE stupid. This is like a main pillar of my depression

After 90s case design went in wrong direction. I dont mean some of those really good cases we had, but in general, people like those glass cases, with huge space to fill in with RGB lights, RGB RAM, RGB fans, WC and screens, like LGBT just took a dump in that case...

I'm waiting for FLP03 to be released, I may get that one, or just switch to Ridge (I wish it was OG beige, not off-white).

Boy are we in the gutter.

$400 for Dram-less 4tb TLC, Yikes.

Dont even get me started on this...
I hope this will change next year, I WANT AN AFFORDABLE 8TB SSD!
Like $350. This is the direction where new technology should go - improve, excel, wide-spread.

[tp4tissue]

For $250 ask,   Tp4 is NOT IMPRESSED.

In fact, disgusted yet again by a grifter company, Noctua.

[tp4tissue]

What really grinds Tp4's gearz is this.

AMD allows 175 watt 9700x @ max OC,

Why don't they allow 350watt 9950x. capped at a measly 250watt.

This is an OUTRAGE.. !!!!!

[fohat.digs]

wrong post, wrong place

[tp4tissue]

/headscratch.

That has never happened to Tp4, ever?

In what software is this?
