    If I ever get my RTX 3070, it'll be the most travelled graphics card...

    Generally have really good results with USPS freight or parcels. First class not so much. Sent birthday card to BIL from western Texas to central Texas. 326 miles. 22 days! Arrived almost two weeks after his birthday. And mailed it almost 2 weeks before the birthday. Not sure all the...

    How long do you keep product boxes/packaging?

    All boxes forever; unless it is huge like an appliance or subwoofer box. You know, I might need them one day. The smaller boxes actually become part of the decoration and the big ones can be used as shelves. Single here. Not sure any significant other would put up with such BS.

    Cheaper service than T-Mobile?

    Mint Mobile user for several years. Get the phones from Google then prepay for a year's service with Mint. Generally never use it but nice to have in case of roadside breakdown or landline goes out. Next renewal, will likely purchase minimum data for the year. Coverage very good in my area.

    Best Android Phone Which One Is Worth Buying

    Using the Pixel 10 Pro XL. A great phone. Third or fourth Pixel I've owned--mostly because Pixel gets the first and quickest Android updates. Overall quality is quite nice for the price. Tend to keep phones for a while and Pixel support is there for several years.

    Windows 11 Task Bar officially moveable

    Don't get me started. Never understood why the start button was on the bottom left instead of the bottom right--and why the heck there is a start button but no stop button. How hard could that be? You know like a start/stop button which most every other thing in the world has.

    5090 in stock and it looks like it is staying in stock

    Have a new one in the box to build a new machine. Just too lazy to put it all together. The 4090 still keeps up with most everything.

    AI's Water and Electricity Use Soars In 2026

    But I can eat almonds. Don't think data centers contribute anything useable by lifeforms on the planet.

    What could be wrong with my brother's PC?

    Note that your link is priced in AED--that is about 32$ US. Can find same product for around $15 US. Here is another option from Noctua; Arctic Silver also makes another type. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MZ4K67Y?tag=journeymanhq-20 Or you could just use coffee filters and 99% isopropanol...

    Regarding Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 and compatibility with certain boards due to tall m.2 heatsinks

    mamob I did request and receive alternate parts from Arctic a few years back. Something had changed in the block configuration and as you mentioned, Arctic said they would provide the correct parts at no charge. Contacted them and the parts were received back within 10-14 days. Am in the US...

    Monitor for reading text with progressive lenses

    I've had for years a pair of glasses strictly for computer use. The upper part is "mid-distance" I guess you'd call it for viewing the monitors. The lower part is bifocal for close reading and such. That way I can look at the monitor in focus and then look down to read an article or write...

    I realized yesterday This case is harder to pick up and move around than it was 14~yrs ago when I bought it.

    And the little pieces and parts are a lot harder to see now than they were 14-15 years ago.

    Windows isn't the best operating system anymore

    Multiple monitors! Killer to me on Linux. Two monitors were bad on Windows 7, 10. No go on Linux. Now have three monitors and Windows 11 is pretty slick with them. Cannot imagine trying them with Linux. That is the main holdup on trying Linux again. Is it easy to set up three monitors...

    Shopping for a new sub, ported or sealed?

    Also using the SVS SB 3000 in piano gloss finish. Lovely sub with great response and only moderately heavy--65 pounds shipped and 55 unpacked. That was a consideration as it had to come up a flight of stairs. Great apps and support by SVS.
