Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

I have no insider information plus my knowledge of the current architecture is sorely lacking but I do know crowd expectation. People are willing to exchange energy consumption for good to middling gains. I know a GPU is completely different than a CPU but the last iterations of the Radeon have...

What happened to the default ? I can't stand this layout.

So... basically more than half the page is taken out by the left and right gutters. Which appear blank to me once you scroll past the menu items. Of course all of this makes me think they are going to load up the blank spaces with ads. Which brings me to my real point - I know I infrequently...

Anyone buy Home Audio & Video Protection Plans for their stereo?

hahahahahahahaha... So I get the receiver on Saturday, only to find that some bright person (either in freight - Amazon, or shipment - UPS) decided to strap it down. It crushed the box, the packing foam and the top of the case. <sigh> Yes, I do know Amazon covers delivery and I would not have...

Projector for bedroom

Own or rent? If own, I would suggest mounting the unit on the ceiling with an additional shelf/section for a laptop (to plug in Amazon, Google, and use the lappy for web-based viewing). Use one of the small form factor keyboards as an all purpose remote.

Anyone buy Home Audio & Video Protection Plans for their stereo?

So I am going to go ahead and pull the trigger on a last year model AV receiver Yamaha RX-V683BL to replace my still very good Pioneer VSX-1120-K. Yeah, sure, I could get a lot better fidelity and power but can you find these things for under $350? And the only reason I am changing to another AV...

Ask. 1) If no, then what are plans for you and your GF? She'd have to find a rental that'll include room-mates. That's also 2-3 years of your relationship as 'long distance.' I don't need to know details; this is just something for you and she to consider. 2) If no, are you considering this...
