  1. 401(k) employer matching question

    Match every check. 100% match to 8 percent! No vesting period. Immediate. It's through Fidelity so I like to watch my money doubled every pay period. Now that I'm old and high income, I finally am not panicking about retirement and getting caught up nicely.
  2. Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout

    I cleared out more than $1,000 worth of coins collected over decades just by throwing a fistful into my pocket and dumping it into the self checkout and using my card to pay the remaining balance. Took a few years to get ridi of most of it.
  3. Dwarf Fortress!

    Anyone play this? I've been spending some time with the Steam version. It's really an amazing sim. Or game, or something. It's so easy to get lost. And simulations within simulations. This game is something else. I feel like I can only dabble until I eventually retire and have real time to play...
  4. Virtual Reality Paradise!

    I get motion sickness almost instantly whenever I try VR. And I don't like things pressed against my face. Until VR is totally holographic and requires no equipment on my body, it's a total non-starter for me. I think VR is never going to catch on or be mainstream.
  5. Anyone living with a parolee?

    Damn, heavy update bro. Life is pretty crazy. Respect you for holding strong. Hope your wife has given you some credit for being right about this all along and looking out for your kids.
  6. How do you grocery shop?

    Eat, pay, love!
  7. Who Makes Up These Silly Terms and Phrases?

    I don't like when companies refer to me as their partner. I prefer the term "boyfriend."
  8. How do you grocery shop?

    Wife and I have one of those grocery list notepads with a magnet on the back so we can keep it stuck on the fridge. We write things down during inevitable conversations about what we need from the grocery store. Occasional random thoughts and discoveries are added over the course of a few days...
  9. What first world problem did you have today?

    Yeah there's technically a hybrid arrangement but I work out in the field sometimes and they're technically office days so I'm lucky if I get to the office once a week. And I'm not willing to let this cut into my nap time!
  10. What first world problem did you have today?

    I took a nap in my car after lunch today and my snoring woke me up prematurely.
  11. Anandtech Off-Topic subreddit will go DARK in protest of API fees:

    Well damn boys and girls. Looks like it's time for mid 2000s forums to come back with a vengeance!! To be honest, though, I wouldn't mind if there was some fracturing up of Reddit communities. I think peak internet discussion was during the late 90s and early-to-mid 2000s, pre web 2.0, etc...
  12. Who Makes Up These Silly Terms and Phrases?

    Demand destruction is an industry term and has been part of the commodities/investment lexicon for decades. Only reason you're hearing it now is because gas prices have been top headlines for the past few months. As far as up-skilling, yes, that's bullshit.
  13. Are there any ideas for destroying domes?

    Plant a trillion trees, stop all use of internal combustion engines and wait 100 years.
  14. What music are you listening to now?

    Stumbled upon The Orb's latest, The Heavens, and it's pretty impressive.
  15. Question USB drives blocked on my work PC Win 10

    In that case you can probably change the local group policy and reenable USB drives via gpedit.msc
  16. Question Is "the writing on the wall" - the end for enthusiasts? [LTT]

    I swear during lockdowns in 2020 he was so freaking stoned and it was obvious. Bloodshot eyes, cotton mouth, the works. I don't know what other drugs he's allegedly on, but the dude clearly seems pretty wake'n'bake to me.
  17. Pointless Disconnected Blabs, Ramblings and Utterances

    We need rain, bad. Everything is going brown. I pride myself on mowing tall and not irrigating. But it's crossing the line and I'm close to going out there with the sprinkler and hose. Damnit.
  18. ++ ATOT official NEF thread part IV ++

    Hi.
  19. The "I just bought..." thread.

    I just bought a few things: M2 Macbook Pro 13" with 512gb SSD and 16gb RAM. I know the "air is better" but I don't give a crap. I want more thickness and prefer the older design and this thing is docked 95% of the time. Don't care about the webcam, the screen is perfectly fine, no notch, i...
  20. Question Best audio card for music?

    I also recommend a DAC. Schiit makes a range of DACs from the affordable to the obscene. There are many other brands
  21. Solved! PC only starts after discharge

    Aha! Bad RAM - along with PSUs, often the culprit in all sorts of weird ways. Tricky to diagnose, too, so good job narrowing it down. At least you've refreshed the PSU in the process LOL!
  22. Question Upgrade CPU & MB now or wait for fall refreshes?

    Then that's news to me. I checked a few boards myself and the tech specs indicated that 11th gen only supported DDR4-3200 and 10th was limited to 2933. I'll look closer and make sure I didn't misread. But this was a red flag when I was doing research and I was pretty sure that some of the boards...
  23. What first world problem did you have today?

    Couple things: 1. I had to peel the factory logo graphics/stickers off the sides my spare EVGA supernova powersupply to get it to slide cleanly into a case without getting caught up. Apparently that tiny bit of height from the stickers was too much for the tight tolerances of this case. Spent a...
  24. Discussion Which COVID-19 vaccine did you get?

    Wife got J&J today. Doing fine. Mild fever, chills, nothing too extravagant. Went to bed early. She'll be good to go in no time. My appointment is Wednesday. I don't know what I'm getting yet. Don't really care, but the thought of only one appointment sounds good.
  25. Question Why are all mainboards black?

    OK as a forum vet, I need to ask. Where is this picture? I need to see it. It will solve a mental mystery I've had for many years now.
  26. Question Mobo suggestions for 10850k.

    Feel free to get a z490. Cheaper. The only thing you lose is PCIe 4 nvme support. For gaming, not even an issue. And the 10th gen chips don't even support it anyway. PCIe 3 nvmes will give you indistinguishable experience for gaming. I paid $149 for my ASUS TUF Gaming Plus z490 (non-wifi...
  27. Question tuf gaming plus (wifi) and ryzen 7 3800

    GPUs are in short supply and very expensive right now in part because people are buying them and paying a premium just so they can mine Ethereum and convert that into bitcoin and then convert that into money. There is also a global semiconductor shortage, tariffs and other forces causing an...
  28. Question Where can you get a decent nVidia graphics card these days?

    Sorry for your loss, my friend.
  29. Question Upgrade CPU & MB now or wait for fall refreshes?

    Interesting thread. For the record, I went from a i7-6700k and got a z490 (TUF Gaming z490 Plus with i219-v, not i225, thank god) paired with an i5-10400 last summer. The board was $149 and the CPU was $170 at the time. I was blown away by the improvement. I have since swapped in an i9-10900f I...
  30. Question Recommend a "cheap" replacement for i7-6700k

    No selling outside if the FS/T forums. esquared Anandtech Forum Director
  31. Question Recommend a "cheap" replacement for i7-6700k

    i5-10400. Faster all around, two more cores. It's a surprisingly good chip. I actually migrated to one from a 6700 myself and was impressed. Beat my expectations. That chip is now on a shelf and I'm running a i9-10900 on the same z490 board. Was worth it overall -- to jump to the i5 and then...
  32. Question Best/Cheapest reliable Plat / Titanium PSU for the money?

    Super Flower is my go to PSU maker now. I'd argue they're pretty much the best consumer PSU you can get right now.
  33. Duplicate image file finder capable of scanning huge network volumes

    Resurrections time. After many years ignoring this issue and letting the problem get worse, I finally buckled and bought ACDSee Photo Studio 2021 and it is incredible. I've managed to sort through a 4TB mess of a photo library and have eliminated nearly 100,000 duplicates, deleted nearly 100,000...
  34. Discussion [HWUB] Nvidia has a driver overhead problem. . .

    Projection. Only teens and dweebs get emotionally invested in hardware manufacturers.
  35. Question So. OneDrive. How do i nuke it?

    Did you "unlink" your PC from ONeDrive before uninstalling it?
  36. Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

    Makes perfect sense. ASRock cheaped out on their z490 boards and they struggle even to run the i9-10900k at stock. They were widely panned upon release and it's no surprise their garbage boards can't run RL. There's a reason ASRock has a reputation for making poo products. Cheapy cheapy crap.
  37. Question Bought my RTX 3080 Today....UPDATE - Got It!

    I randomly went to B&H last week and the "add to cart" button was clickable on a Gigabyte Aorus Master. Bought it. Arrived yesterday (delayed a bunch of days because NYC got hammered with snow last weekend -- they were great with lots of email updates). Card runs fast and cool. Insanely huge...
  38. Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

    Rocket Lake looking like a fun fond farewell to 14nm. Likely going to just slap in the i9 into my z490 board and call it a day. I only game on this thing so it looks perfect for that. My day-to-day work is now being done on an m1 mini. :)
