Falloujt on Amazon prime. Two episodes in... pretty good, but not super-compelling just yet.

Not a movie, but saw a play over the weekend. Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812. Frankly, I expected more from the comet given its billing. Stupid cameo. Hah. But basically, a chapter from War and Peace with a modern storytelling flair. Entire thing is sung... no dialog. My...

That's forward thinking. Have to wonder if an intermediate goal of down payment on a house might not be a bigger impact overall though? Ownership VS lifetime of rent.

Well no. so Thanks for the discussion, Pax.

For 3 body problem

My AirTV over-the-air box w/ DVR was dying. Fan sounded attrocious, was garbling alot og the decoding, etc. The decoding I attributed to the antenna, but it wasn't working well. Fan clearly giving out, so I got a small quiet fan from an old compuiter build, wired it for 5v USB, took it out of...

3 Body Problem is actually turning out better than I had expected (3 ep in now?) I've read the series and didn't think they'd be able to turn it into a TV show worth watching. Some of the casting I'm not totally onboard with, but overall it's working. In some respects it's better than the...

Well, it was a tech demo... promoting the new unreal engine version. No doubt their sponsors wanted that to be all about the tech, not have the conversation being about whether it's a good game. I assume gameplay demos will come in time. That said, the tech is a marvel. (see what I did there?)

For what it's worth, I love the Phantex P600S. Big, easy to work in. Love the hinged doors. I'm sure the more blingy ones are great too. :) https://www.phanteks.com/Eclipse-P600s.html

Been playing Last Epoch. Like a lazy-man's Path of Exile. Enjoyable though. Haven't really grasped the concept of the end game here though.

THE Gentlemen on Netflix is awesome. Shogun also great.

If that's Power-up-in-standby, you can probably find tools to disable that in the firmware so it's not an ongoing concern.

Already did the 4080 firmware earlier I guess.

Yes, I did. I see that there's a firmware 1009. Not sure what version I have, but maybe that helps. I think I am on Displayport too, which seems to be part of their problem from what I'd read. And yes, I use Rebar and Windows 11... turning off UEFI not really viable. Hmmmm... seeing...

I think it was the Neo G7. Looks right, would need to verify https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-FreeSync-Ultrawide-DisplayPort-Adjustable/dp/B09ZH1Q6TT?th=1 Mostly good, two irritations. 1) The center line is dimmer than the sides. WTF? 2) On-boot, the video never displays anything until you...
