In that case, go AM4 with a cheap motherboard, and put the savingts towards a next-gen build next year or later.

Unless you're on a strict budget, go with the AM5 7700. Similar/better gaming performance, much better productivity performance. AM4 might…

That price comes back every 3-4 weeks, so set a C3 alert and wait. Or wait for Zen5

Still too expensive. - $329USD (current US pricing) + GST should be about $560. At that price, I'd hit it, not $682.

Depends on your usage. For gaming, you want a 7800X3D or 9800X3D (or whatever it'll be called). For a cheap-ish productivity upgrade to…

Anyone running Linux (Ubuntu) on one of these? What is the device support like? (e.g. bluetooth, sound). Also, what's the fan noise like on…

Well, he is a closet (or maybe out) socialist - and that always ends badly for the citizens.

How about images of the Tiananmen square massacres - if the Chinese government could have censored them globally, we'd never know how evil…

It is a bit, but in practice the display is light enough that a tablet stand like this one…

I use one as my remote working setup, pwoered by the macbook. It's very close in dimensions to a 14" macbook pro - i.e. basically the same…

Surely it gets auto-generated by shopify? Do they at least give some sort of order summary with the prices?

Also 5700X3D for $364.37 - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/176216573307 (slightly cheaper than other places - most are $379).

I put one of these in my X370 mobo about a year ago (I think it was $238 during an ebay sale) to replace a 1700. Best bang for buck for…

They all have pci-e slots, so you can put a cheap ax210 card from aliexpress in it (should be less than $25). I'd go with either the lenovo…

Shows as $1197.00 for me.

You could try a usb- to 2.5gbe adapter. They're probably not completely awful.

This. I've got an i225-v3 pci-e card, and it is kind flakey under both linux and windows. I also have an i226 card and it solid as a rock.…

Broden!

5950x is now $544.35 from Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0815Y8J9N

Poor. The 8600G is usable for 1080p, but it would suck at 1440p unless you added a GPU.…

You don't *need* to use the same SSID as your home wifi - most devices have a notion of a "saved network", and will just rotate around them…

It's a very similar size to a 14" macbook pro screen - which makes it a really good companion screen when working remotely.

If you plug this in via usb-c (e.g. with a laptop that supports DP over usb-c), then the laptop powers the display. You can also use a…

I use a cheap plastic stand similar to this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006097224708.html Doesn't fold completely flat, but it's…

Hook them all together and send some traffic through them so you can admire the blinking lights?

I don't know about that. I had Soundpeats Mini Pro ANC eaerphones, and one side kept disconnecting. I had to put them both back in the case…

Same here. I thought Doom (2016) was a good homage to the original Doom. I found Doom Eternal to be more annoying than fun.

Sure, but unless you're going to do multiplayer, you'd play it for a couple of days to get thru the single player campaign and then be done…

I had a KeepLink 2.5gbe switch die on me after a couple of days, and they never responded to the refund request - so it took about a month…
