If I were shopping for this right now, I’d definitely take a look at this: http://www.nabava.net/search.php?tp=0&q=gw2255

If the Mercedes cars bolt during the first lap, I’m done watching the race and heading straight back to bed. 😬

Heading out to Chicago. See you guys at 4 near the Art Institute. Peace.

The first 10 minutes actually weren't half bad... then everything just completely went off the rails. 😢 I'd give it a 5/10 on IMDb. Honestly, even that feels generous. 😬

Just a heads-up, I’ve gotta be downtown by 7:00 PM, so let's hope we don't wander too far from the action.

I'm in. I've got theater plans, so I'll swing by right after. 😉

Honestly, you're getting way more bang for your buck with Intel in this bracket. The Intel Pentium G3220 is a beast for what it is. If you try to jump up to an Intel Core i3, you're looking at spending about $167, and those chips can be a real headache because they don't just work on any random motherboard. For the price, the G3220 absolutely crushes the competition. 😉

I tried uploading a theme with a clone onto the PDF Game site, and ended up getting banned for life. 😬 So much for solidarity. 😁

I found this thread over on a US forum, so if anyone here looks interesting to you—feel free to reach out. 😉

@Pobos - why don't you touch base with the rest of your subforum mods and then we can get this thread started? 🙂 Thanks.

Honestly, who can guarantee today that a Samsung 850 is actually more reliable than, say, an ADATA SP550? You rarely find solid data like that online. Usually, if a specific product is problematic, it only comes to light after a while, often long after the warranty expires. Take the last generation: the Samsung 840 was the gold standard for a while, but then it ran into issues, and plenty of people ended up regretting their purchase.

I remember one guy on a forum claiming Kingston HyperX drives were failing left and right—not that he was lying, he was just speaking from his own experience with several units—but when I looked up failure rate lists based on much larger sample sizes, they weren't even in the top five for returns. And that list definitely covers them, since a newer, better Kingston SSD was sitting at number five. Man, everything is relative.

Honestly? I don't think SSD tech is quite reliable enough for long-term heavy use yet.

If I'm grabbing an SSD, I'm sticking to either an Intel with a 5-year warranty or that SanDisk one with 10 years. Just those two models, maybe.

Here’s my fix: just run two drives and four partitions. That’s how I handle it. 😬

Look, I just want everything done by the book. I don't want anyone pulling the "we didn't know" card later on.

Honestly, I feel like this sub is actually the best place for this kind of talk.

Ugh, I’ve brought this up before, but I don't think anyone actually listened to me.

It would be awesome if we just had one dedicated thread where people could promote their YouTube channels. Right now, it feels messy when people spam threads about Google AdSense or the YouTube Partner Program instead of just sharing their content.

I was thinking we could set it up looking something like this:

Thanks in advance for hearing me out.

EDIT:

What I mean is: we have sections for bloggers, drawing galleries, poets, photographers, makeup artists... why wouldn't we have a spot for YouTube creators? Video is an art form too. It doesn't feel right to just ignore it.

Just looking at this from a neutral perspective: I honestly think it’s going to be incredibly hard to top the GTX 970. If you ask me, it’s an absolute beast of a card.

Dell UltraSharp U2412M or ASUS ProArt PA278QV? These are the two best picks for about $500.

It’d be a shame not to grab this for $50 more, especially since it comes with an extra 12 months of warranty.

I ran an ASUS 280 for a while—it was actually a pretty solid card.

I had such a blast yesterday. 🙂 Really hoping we can do it again soon. 😉

We know Carl Rivera43 is definitely coming. 😁 I’ll be there too, 100%. See you guys. 😉
