Still kicking. Everyone knows when I'm gaming though cuz the fans get noticeably louder. :| I couldn't handle the laptop-only challenge and have a desktop again. :p

2010! Wow. "Please provide your dial-up AOL account and serial # on your Windows 3.1 floppy disks." :clown:

Never thought I'd have a laptop with an i9, but I caved. I'm going to see if I can go without a desktop. Previous attempts did not last long, but an RTX 4070, 64GB DDR5 & all these cores...

So late to the game, but I just bought the game Rust for myself & 2 of my boys. I was liking a lot of the survival of 7 Days to Die, but I didn't want the ugly zombies with the kids. We're used to Minecraft worlds that we build together for years, so it's a bit of a surprise to find out that...

I gotta keep this thread going, handy timeline of history. I seem to be jumping back and forth from Google & Samsung (Pixel, S9+, Pixel 2XL, Note20 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro...). A little late since S24's will be released soon, but I'm on an S23 Ultra now. I was kind of hoping Google making both...

Whaaatt? There's a CS2?? Oh man...

Not sure what's old news. Have 6 kids - 3 bio, 3 adopted Moved from CA to ID in 2019 (Not Mormon but blend right in with 6 kids in Idaho). Got the older 3 licenses for some old faves, Command & Conquer series & CS:S. Also play Minecraft and Raft with them.

Oh wow, the site's alive! I was about to try to message, see if I could revive the forums if needed. Was sad to see the domain not loading for a good while. TY Ice!

How old is that one? I just retired what I bought from @phokyu way back (3rd gen i7). Was still working like a champ too.

Only you guys would appreciate something like this: I was giving my oldest spare parts to put together another desktop, thought I'd upgrade my CPU rather than buy him a new one. Sadly it's already 2-gens (going on 3).

I expect that from my 72-year-old mom who just went from a 6 to 13 Pro, but a techie/gamer? I didn't realize I've had the Pixel 6 Pro since last year. Might be time to upgrade. :ROFLMAO:

Might just keep this thread going. I usually wait every other year, but I'm switching back to a Pixel (Pixel 6 Pro). Should arrive next week. It's frustrating that every review praises cameras and the samples are almost always shots of perfectly still (inanimate) objects. Real-world tests would...

Comparing what it should be...too much. Seeing what they're going for on Amazon made it hard to break the seals.

I was hoping to recoup the costs in mining first. Ask me again in about a year. :clown: Seriously though, the 2060 is in a 2nd desktop, will soon be for the boys to fight over. I'll let you know if plans change.
