@adiwan The way I figured after talking to some nerds, bad RMA's ( in the past ) bad temps ( in the past ) really shoddy bios updates ( in the past ) lots of lousy capacitors ( up till at least 2017 ), mangoty factory service ( as recent as 2018, though it could have been Amazon for that guy ) VCORE issues ( as shown on live hardware ) and rather lousy warranty compared to TUF ( Asus ) which everyone really seemed to love.

As for that adapter. I can not think of any use for it. Let me know if it works though. I mean the last thing I had that would probably even get some usage would be this ancient [ picture of pinnalce PCTV stereo PCI card ], which ofcourse is downright silly these days. There are better things on USB 2.0 than that card. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875102

@drinkingpony Intriguing little adapter. I'll put that into my browser bookmarks. Why are MSI and Gigabyte boards avoided?

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan ... Who still has PCI hardware in 2019 ? I mean, I guess if I did then I would look at stupid things like this with really big eyes http://rainbowdash.net/url/875100

But yeah, most people I know avoid MSI and Gigabyte MoBo's like the plague.

@drinkingpony I didn't choose anything in particular. I preliminarily took the average price of the compatible mainboards. It should have 1GBit LAN and USB 3.2 and decent sound and m.2. My demands aren't high. I don't have the need to support old PCI hardware anymore like a 1999 WinTV TV card.

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan Ohh, yeah, when I buy a new CPU, MoBo, RAM, and format a entire disk, I just give the entire beast a new name. I guess that means that kinda auto-defeats the idea of upgrading in my head.

Especially when I have one of these really old fashioned end of the nineties hightower cases somewhere in storage. You know, the ugly ones with the side-braces that you could swap out for wheels.

But enough of my ramblings. I had been eyeballing a similar processor. What motherboard did you specifically get ?

adiwan Alcoholic Beast

@drinkingpony well. Ryzen 3700X, 64GB RAM, 1TB NVME M.2 SSD, NVidia RTX 2080S, mainboard and CPU cooler. The rest I can reuse although not much.

@adiwan How do you manage to get 1800€ worth of upgrades for a PC whereas my complete builds usually do not even scratch 300€ below ?

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation The country I am in does not have wall to wall 24 hour newscycles. The things that are spoken about are usually about what proper journalists think that the common man needs to hear about. Especially when it comes to democratically elected officials that are trying to spin a story into their benefit.

"Journalism is what we need to make democracy work" - Walter Cronkite.

Why do you think I am having such a hard time wrapping my head around the story you are trying to sell ?

@scribus You did NOT just use the N word

@thismightbeauser I use Unity for creating VR trainings at my work. So far I'm not done with my code. I'm restructuring my code constantly and I plan to introduce your proposal towards the end when I have something functional first. I'm also a bit hesitant how it will work with the packages I already use that heavily rely on reflection (Odin Inspector, Bolt). My damn "screw hole" code has about 1000 lines of neatly formatted code and my "cordless screwdriver" is at about 1200 lines. They are so big because I need to ensure nothing breaks when I toggle all of them interactable on or off.

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation I never said they were, I said that it was stupid of them to not exploit the situation and would rather follow the hype-train of Greenland when there is some proper gains to be had in another story.

The conclusions I can pull from what I just stated are quite limited. But if you can tell me that I am forgetting one key element then I'd love to hear it.

adiwan thismightbeauser

@thismightbeauser as far as I can tell the Unity adaptations of that are horribly outdated

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Yes, I think so too. But someone or something is orchestrating.

adiwan thismightbeauser

@thismightbeauser I'm too tired right now to think this through but tomorrow morning I'll give it a thorough and scrutinizing look, however Reflection is not something I want to use.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus I am not sure if I follow. You're saying that some people are covering their butts ? So I decided to piece some things together.

Eventually I found http://rainbowdash.net/url/875093 , which means that the news is already out there.

You say that by the time 'they' are done covering their butts, there's is nothing left for the real news.

But there is for the Greenland story ? But THAT is getting wall-to-wall coverage.

So again, why are the traditionally liberal and extremely liberal 24 newscyclists outlets not doing their "Gun control good" spiel instead of "Denmark good, greenland not for sale, small-hands-guy-bad"

adiwan thismightbeauser

@thismightbeauser I have read that but every available solution doesn't solve my problem. All of them need to have a setup that's not worth the hassle. I make the methods public now and I commented that no other class is allowed to use that. Background: I have screw holes and screwing tools. I intend the screw holes to manage entering and leaving the screw hole zones for interaction. The screw holes inform the screwing tool that it has entered the zone and can interact with it. I manage every interaction through interfaces instead of concrete classes because the screwing tools can inherit from an already existing class (like a standard interactable object class) and C# is boring and doesn't allow inheriting from multiple classes.

adiwan thismightbeauser

@thismightbeauser Maybe next time when it's more worth for you to re-subscribe. While I'm recommending: I also recommend "GLOW". Women wrestling in the 80's. More drama than actual wrestling.

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan Oh hey I am a "that-one-box-er" too :D

Glad to hear support could help you out.

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation And I am supposed to know that the NRA's HQ is in Fairfax ?

That only makes it more interesting though. WHY do the Democrats allow the news to talk about Greenland. If I am to believe you they are 'reversing' a bill, which sounds horrible.

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation But democrats HATE trump. Why would they play along in a distraction that is so obvious that you figured it out.

Also who in the name of collusion itself are you calling Fairfax County's most well funded terrorist organization ? I tried googling it and turns out the "Women for Trump National Day of Training" is tomorrow. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875091

I highly doubt you meant that.

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation Would you be less or more mad if they did not report on cuckoo news like that ?

Actually, why get mad at all ? It is not like you are in any way in control.
