Razer is all flash no quality garbage.
I've always hated their logo too.

It's "Gamer Apple." For people who want Windows, want lightweight bendable laptops, but don't want Apple because they've been told that it's bad or they don't want to deal with getting windows on a macbook. (if there are any fanboys/girls here, Apple build quality has been going downhill since at least a half decade ago, possibly more like a full decade.) Huge cost for crummy hardware that's not serviceable.

QUOTE(uareader @ Jun 4 2015, 16:21)  Normally, one thing I like 1H for is Vital Strike being one of the most powerful attacks in the game (even if it couldn't cause bleeding), and coming naturally on the end of the stun effect of Shield Bash, but today, might be the first time I see the real power of Merciful Blow when used in its special conditions (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... No 1H doesn't have the best skills among other things  edit: oh right, for the record, here is my normal output "My guinea pig is currently having his next horrible experiment forced into his entrails by a horrible sadist." Wait, while this sentence get the point across, it's a bit vague, I guess I will use more accurate words. "My Surface Pro tablet is currently having version 1809 installed by Microsoft Windows Update." Well I guess the first sentence may have been enough, but it was just in case (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I don't wanna use anything from MSI anymore. Biostar, still nope. As for ECS Elite, they seemed to have stop producing mobos for AMD chipsets.

That's scary considering whenever I looked for information to make a new pc, the (main or only) motherboard would ALWAYS be MSI (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I don't want a new TV until it's no longer feasible to keep using my high end CRT's and/or the phosphors burn or fade too much to be acceptable. If I could still get new Panasonic plasma screens, I might be interested. OLED's neat, but burns even worse than CRT's or plasmas do and the color gamut is usually bad unless you are buying professional gear at professional markups (3 to 25 thousand dollars). Also screens curving inward does the exact opposite of improving viewing angles. So the ones that do that are trash. Flat or convex, please.

I wish I could stab people who base their Amazon ratings and/or reviews on the shipping and not the product I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF THE SHIPPING WAS IMMEDIATE AND THE DELIVERY WAS FAST, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REVIEW THE GODDAMN PRODUCT, NOT THE FUCKING COURIER

Reading review: "Good value. But if you want to overclock, look for other models. This one can't boot with any changes."
My thought: Why would anyone attempt to overclock a budget-oriented RAM module, one which doesn't come with its own heatsink?

Chinese counterfeit GPUs started to become a real threat, but so far they only seem to fool people desperate for cheap gaming and don't want to buy used cards.

Most ram sticks can be overclocked and rounded up, heatsinks aren't necessary because the voltage stays the same. But it also depends on the mobo supporting it.

QUOTE RGB Software Opens Attack VectorsAlso in the news is Logitech, ASUS and Gigabyte, but perhaps not for what we’d normally expect. Recently, vulnerabilities have been disclosed that were found in Logitech “Options” software, and in drivers from ASUS and Gigabyte that impact their respective RGB software. First reported by Google’s Project Zero, a critical flaw in Logitech Options allows hackers to gain remote access through the opening of an unauthenticated websocket port. The vulnerability was reported to Logitech back in September, and Logitech haven't implemented a fix until now, after the vulnerability was made public. Additionally, SecureAuth found vulnerabilities in seven drivers affecting ASUS and Gigabyte motherboard software. The vulnerabilities, according to SecureAuth research, allow attackers to gain escalated permissions, take control of the system, and run non-trusted code. According to the report, communication with ASUS and Gigabyte has been less than fruitful, and many of the vulnerabilities remain unaddressed. Sources: [ www.bleepingcomputer.com] https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secur...es-pocs-galore/[ www.techpowerup.com] https://www.techpowerup.com/250624/logitech...ix-is-available Oh, what a delight...

Scammers are the biggest scum of the world. As a person with experience of being scammed online, I hope a fate of 10,000 times worse to befall on the scammer.

You would need to be infected in the first place or run compromised logitech software from a second or third party for the actual logitech software to open a socket. Imagine you're a hacker inside a persons house...except the house is locked and you don't have a key to get out. There's also the question of how you got in in the first place.

Not only that I'm surprised that Asus is still making sound cards, I also wondered why the company's latest Pcie sound cards employ chipsets that were designed for USB interface. Costs?

I don't like the fact that my cpu can't go below a 45~60°C temperature at idle. But looking at the data of my internet box for viewing videos from my ISP that also has cpus, and those having the same kind of temperatures, maybe it's not the hardware itself that has an issue, but somehow, it would be my room??! (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) edit: also, hard disks are around 32°C, so rather than the temperature of the room, it's more laws of physics or something that go wrong?
