I'll give them credit for trying to produce anything special and unique when they could easily release the 'gently caress you, you'll buy it anyways' gpu and it would still sell out instantly.

The cooler in that build is the DeepCool Gamma Archer, which I can recognize instantly because I used to own one of those. I would NOT recommend that you get one - despite it being cheap and being good enough for ~65w, non-OC'ed parts, the problem is not just that it uses the AMD mounting method of tension brackets that you need to manhandle into clipping in place, but also the construction of the thing is such that you can't really put it on or take it off from the motherboard without removing the fan, which is a huge hassle for something so small. I'd recommend the DeepCool Ice Edge Mini FS instead for a super-cheap cooler in that price range.

Every computer that gets shipped will be thrown. If UPS or FedEx- especially FedEx- see a box that looks like it COULD have a computer inside it, that box will be dropped, thrown, and kicked for good measure. That's why computers get shipped with those stupid foam bricks inside you've got to remove, and one reason why real computers that cost a lot of money like workstations and servers are solid and heavy. iBuyPower not packing the computer well enough to survive shipping is thus a problem entirely on them, but even worse is how they ignored Steve's emails about it for a week

At this point if you're a boutique gaming PC company, how do you not have a special flag on all orders from the Raleigh area for "this might be GN, don't gently caress it up".FuturePastNow posted:and one reason why real computers that cost a lot of money like workstations and servers are solid and heavy.

Given how Steve is I wouldn't be surprised if when they did buy something direct they were having it shipped to a proxy to avoid the potential of someone recognising the office address.

CaptainPsyko posted:I think all of the machines they’ve reviewed so far, they said they bought at a local Best Buy. Definitely not all, the wallmart one was an order & ship one, 'cause wallmart sent them the wrong PC. And the dell / alienware. Though scanning throught the vid again yeah this was off the shelf. Which makes the damage even more -- best buy isn't fedexing stuff to their stores, they have their own trucks. And I'd think that Best Buy would generally try not to have poo poo thrown around, considering they sell TVs and other breakable poo poo. But in that case I don't know that blaming ibuypower for damage that equally could be best buy's fault is fair. And also makes some of the non-response to the support email a bit hard to pin down. If best buy is selling it, and it's withing the 30 day purchase window, ibuypower may have a legit "this is best buy's responsibility" defense. tldr I'm not sure buying these from a secondary retailer is a totally fair review vs direct order njsykora posted:Yeah they're explicitly buying this stuff in a way to avoid getting special treatment. Given how Steve is I wouldn't be surprised if when they did buy something direct they were having it shipped to a proxy to avoid the potential of someone recognising the office address. IIRC back when they did the NZXT they said it was shipped to a different address and not with Steve's or any staff member's name, to avoid special treatment. I'm sure they're continuing that. That's why I was saying anyone in the Raleigh area.

They bought the dell from Best Buy (the yet to be reviewed Alienware they’ve talked about was apparently ordered direct). (And yeah, I should have been clear when I said all, I meant from this years recent round, not the wal mart/NZXT fiascos of years past)

The whole concept of is the 3080 Ti a good or bad buy is idiotic right now, because you can't buy loving GPUs and the prices haven't stabilized on the new ones yet. None of it means anything at all.

Someone in the GPU thread summed it up when they said everyone knew the card was a massive rip off and a bunch of people in the thread are still going to try and queue up for one.

It's clearly a very good graphics card, so it just comes down to price and availability, and it's not a winner on that front.

Is there a tangible benefit to twitter verification beyond it just being more difficult to impersonate you (which if you're a big personality/a business, is admittedly a big plus)? Just noticed a lot of people going for it and getting rejected recently

You get a lot more notification filter options and some support priority based on what I've seen verified people talk about in the past.

Worldshatter posted:Is there a tangible benefit to twitter verification beyond it just being more difficult to impersonate you (which if you're a big personality/a business, is admittedly a big plus)? I used to helm a verified account for work, although it was a year ago so apologies if this is out of date or if any of this is now just available to every twitter acc: You can filter notifications by other verified accounts, which is good if you get notifications in volume, and if your communications strategy needs you to court or otherwise hassle influential people It's generally good for growing your audience. A blue tick will get you noticed and help grow your follower count - especially if you're tweeting as an organisation/company/media outlet. People trust a blue tick. The huge one though is that it gives you access to Twitter Media Studio. This lets you schedule Tweets (which other websites do), but also schedule video clips to twitter, and include things like .srt subtitle files, and also stores your media to make it easier to tweet out again down the road. It's kind of ridiculous how much more you can do. Your analytics also get a lot richer. It'll give you estimates for the education level of your followers, how many of them are homeowners, their consumer buying habits, all kindws of creepy stuff like that.

Why does it have a GPU? Because it makes sense for self-driving applications, especially Telsa's heavily camera-focused approach. Why run CP2077? Because it's good marketing for a company that wants to sell infinite possibilities that will never happen.

I wonder how they handle scheduling if it’s a shared resource. That used to be a big problem just in VR, let alone safety applications. Or do you mean that it’s for local training of the network? I hadn’t heard that they were doing that either!
