Feedback on my Workstation build?
  • About your notes regarding case. I don't believe geeater silence is worth higher temperatures overall. Between 9700 and DDR5, you will for sure noticr a difference in speed. I would recommend X670/E if you had any interest in 2 to 3 yeats for the new CPU architecture going up to 16 cores.

    Overall I like the price to perforamnce, as long as you stay at 8 cores. I would suggest a 5070 to help with workflow, I know that it's going to be over 400USD.

    Why the Tomhawk over their other boards or Gigabte?

    GrapheneOS vs LineageOS vs CalyxOs vs DivestOs vs /e/OS vs iodé
  • Only consider CalyxOS and GrapheneOS. Ideologues will push you exclusively towards GrapheneOS but it's not th be-all solution for all people that they think it is. My current and previous phone are GrapheneOS. It's fine. It does what I want. I don't find it amazing only because it's a phone, not a new discovery. I use GrapheneOS with F-Droid with all anti-features disabled in F-Droid settings and I have all the apps I need.

    Lineage will likely wirk with random phones, that dosn't mean it's quality. I say, if a phone OS works on LG, Samaung, Nokia, and a Chinese company phone, I don't trust the stability of the OS.

    I see the name e/OS around, I don't hear it ever mentioned in public discussions, I think it's for Fairphone or one of those gimmick name phones.

    I've never heard of DivestOS before you mentioning it.

    Confronting NZXT CEO Face-To-Face - JayzTwoCents
  • I'm currently watching it and I can't stand how weak he is. He is so passive I suspect he is so terrorified of showing any friction, that in private he abuses people when he thinks he's safe from getting caught because he void of any principals. He's completely vapid and hollow. Stop with the constant "Yeah yeah yeah..." when Jay is talking and learn how to be a man with principals and convictions. Do you notice with every criticism and challenge from Jay that he never objects and never pushes back or disagrees? He's spineless.

    Buck Pierce to be named head coach of B.C. Lions: report
  • I statement like that could mean anything from "If you see an opportunity somewhere else, we're not goijg to stop you, do what you want." to "Buck, check if you can find a position with a different team because this is not working for us."

    I will watch how he does next season and if it was worth bringing him back.

    Christian Nationalists And Bigots Stump For Ken Paxton In SCOTUS Age Verification Case
  • Wikipedia is a collection of random statements, I don't go to that side. Wikipedia does not accuratly ddscribe the things that I'm against, and it does not properly explain the things that I support.

    Media Coverage of the Canada Post Strike is Centering Business Interests, Not the Interests of Workers
  • Internet people seem to have a misnomer in what they label a troll. People I see in person, I will happily troll them if I see an opening to mess with them, and occassionly they find it humourous. But a lot of the filth in internet comments, that's not trolling, it does not mean what people think it means.

    Buck Pierce to be named head coach of B.C. Lions: report
  • HUH?!? Why did the Bombers get rid of him in the office? Or did he quit to take this job? I'm not thrilled to see that he's coming back here.

    Whoever coaches, I want Vernon starting and make Rourke earn his spot again because he was bad this year. Keep him as 2nd string but he was nothing of what he was before he left 2 years ago, that's why I want Vernon as fulltime starter for now.

    Tech Titans Should Pay to Save Canada’s Newsrooms
  • There is no jounalist in newsrooms, they are indoctrination factories, try building friendships with people disagree with you, who don't believe what you believe, and then you understand the realities of what's going on. Only a weak person gets angry and belittles people because someone disagrees and expresses a sifferent view. Talk with random strangers, ask for their opinions, and you'll get different information than what news people say. Government is forever the biggest problem in society. You can't go after private companies until you cancel the government and dismiss all refulations.

    2080ti replacement/upgrade suggestions
  • I would sugvest the 4070 Ti Super because I think you will longer graphical performance out of it than Radeon, and sinse path tracing is the way of the future, nVidia stands on their own.

    Sure at any price point Radeon can put up higher numbers, but as soon as you turn on lighting like raytracing and path tracing, the numbers for Radeon fall off.

    I k.ow there is continuous debates about how pointless raytracing is, or what Unreal Engine calls Lumen I believe, but look at 5 games who promote raytracing as a selling point for the game with the feature turned on and how it looks turned off, and also look at the difference between raytracing and path tracing, and I argue it's only going to get better than the current iteration, thereby making it the way of the future for games so buy a GPU that is better prepared for future new releases.

    How private is a fairphone?
  • I know that for a fact that you can't install GrapheneOS on it, but CalyxIS is available for the Fairphone, then flash that and you'll have full protection, minus mandatory communication services that are require to use any kind of a smartphone.

    Thoughts on the Brax 3 phone?
  • Go through Brax's videos and see if he ever shows how to do anything or if he nly talks about it but never gives instructions. There are random no name channels that show how to flash ROMs, what does Brax show?

    Look at his website, does that look like it was made by someone within th past 25 years?

    Apparently he has some kind of an APK file to install, how easy is it to find and what is the date of the last release?

    Does he always sell out of phones, or were they never available for public buyers? Where is his ordering page? Does the order page say sold out or is there no ordering website?

    My point being, add up all of the evidence and comapred it to random websites that list which used phones they sell, compare to the amount of random videos that walkthrough how to to flash a ROM, I say Brax starts to look like a con who doesn't know tech, only parrots what he reads. Compare his website to free wsbsite builders, see which looks like more recent designs and web technologies.

  • Does anyone having experience using Seers Lodge for chatting/messaging?

    I noticed it in F-Droid and I'm wondering if it's worth a try since it uses the Tox protocol so I just it for secueity.

    I am already well versed and experienced in using SimpleX all the time, calm down, I'm always interested in other libre/free messaging app options as well for 1-to-1 direct messaging
