    Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind that this is a bad thing for the game and VR in general. We need less platform lock in, not more.

    Don't trust the hardware survey. If the headset isn't plugged in it doesn't exist. Not many people leave the headset plugged in 24/7, so I don't think the HW survey is a reliable s…

    I don't think it's actually trending downward, the hardware survey only shows devices connected at the time. I have two vr headsets and I only plug them in when I'm actually using …

    It seems like ECC support is pretty widespread, I know for a fact that my Asus Prime X570-PRO has an option for ECC memory in the bios and it's a midrange board. Might depend on th…

    FYI Steam doesn't even have content restrictions on the marketplace now. There's a ton of adult games on there now. So not the best point.

    Hmm, I see 1.0.0.3abba was released for that board on 9-18-2019. That should include the fix, although I'm not an expert, maybe it isn't there for some reason?

    You would definitely be fine as long as you're using an updated motherboard with at least AGESA 1003ABB, which would be any x570 board and likely the vast majority of x470s by now.…

    It was patched for almost all systems almost immediately like he said. I suspect the reason he still had the bug was due to the Asrock Rack X470D4U motherboard being an older gener…

    Yes, I know, but it never actually goes below 4.0 for me on all cores when doing a render. The 4.6 was referring to my 4770k which was at 4.6 on all cores all the time.

    Can being the keyword. None of that is even close to required. You have the option to tinker, you aren't required to.

    Not sure what cpus you're looking at but everything in the desktop space is over 4ghz nowadays. My last cpu was at 4.6ghz its entire life and my 3900x stays at over 4ghz on all 12 …

    The website it's linked on is called widgetsandshit.com. I think that's a bigger problem if you're that worried.

    Seriously, the attitudes of so many people on here are absolutely disgusting. Why don't we throw all the poor people in camps while we're at it?

    I remember my uncle playing my copy of Bioshock way back when, he walked up to a random door and typed in 0451 and it opened. My mind was blown.

    I can believe it, Google pestered me to review a bubble tea place I drive by every day. I've never stopped there and never will but I continued to get the popup until I finally gav…

    Have you seen the Asrock Deskmini A300? It's not quite NUC sized but it's very close. I think it would fit the bill for you.

    You really think any cashier is going to read the microtext on every bill they get? You practically need a magnifying glass just to see the typo. It's an absolute non-issue no matt…

    I know you're just using Netflix as an example, but has anyone actually had that app pulled from their TV? I have an old 32 inch Vizio smart tv that I bought back in 2011 and all m…

    Some could even run at 1080i! IT's pretty impressive honestly. ModernVintageGamer on youtube has some great videos with high quality footage of it.

    You mean NVME. M.2 is just a form factor that can be SATA based. NVME is the protocol that replaces SATA and makes it fast.

    Uh, Spotify absolutely has a setting to turn off explicit content, at least on Android. Pretty sure it's relatively recent, but it absolutely exists.
