Worth every penny, inverter microwave, toaster oven, convection oven, will microwave and convection cook at the same time. I miss my Advantium from my old place, but this is the next best thing short of doing a very expensive kitchen remodel.

This is the greatest microwave in the universe. I was so choked I couldn’t use it in my new house since we had to get an above range microwave which sucks poo poo. That thing perfectly reheats everything.

I gave it to my parents and whenever I visit I rotate the dial a bit just for the memories.

Top streamers make gently caress all from subs. It’s the sponsored content bringing in the money. Asmongold went over it when he broke character and basically said the new changes gently caress over anyone under 1-2k viewers.

Doesn't he give away basically all his money earned from videos and is just non-stop throwing money out? Like, I heard he bought an entire dealerships car lot and then gave away the cars.

NCIX was horrible in 2012 and before that. It was neat in the early aughts as the competition was a dumpsterbin. What was that other company? Tiger something? Everything else was just local shops and you hoped for the best.

In Vancouver the main vendor in the PC space (although there were a lot of small PC component stores) was ATIC. It was a worse shopping experience than NCIX in every way to the point where people I know witnessed a fistfight between staff and a customer over a repair service disagreement. Then NCiX got big and introduced a decent Web store front end and a few locations around where you could pickup stuff with minimum hassle (still was kind of a sucky time though ensuring they didn't muck it up)

Weirdly ATIC still exists even after NCIX's implosion.

The two big ones I shopped at back in the day in Winnipeg were Computer Avenue and then down the road a SEPERATE company called Computer Boulevard which are both now gone. Avenue was just a small, basic store but had good stock. Boulevard was bigger and then got closed down for smuggling or something I heard.:lol: Shady poo poo.

Thank god for Memory Express coming in.Before all that was just whatever small store - I used to go to a place called Coreys Computers - got my first CD writer there- $200 - my mom was flabbergasted!

this was all in the context of someone posting an article about pewdiepie using the n word on a live stream.


racism and gunning down blm protesters fantasy aside, he's a hack in the youtube tech world who rides the coattails of people who actually know what they're talking about when a controversy happens, and is almost always dead wrong in his "analysis" of it.

To be fair, for people who need social media to keep their profile up, they need the checkmark or the engagement plummets. A Twitch streamer I follow felt forced to get because the number of tweet views fell off a cliff. Now that is gross.

This has proven to be BS - lots of people buying blue checks and their engagement goes DOWN. Turns out you just need to make good content.

AMD won all but two categories and one of those categories was “most disappointing CPU” which went to the entire 14th gen Intel lineup lmfao.

So AMD is where its at if I want to build in the next year or so?

I noticed a new type of ad on YouTube via my TV last night - it has a yellow circle and timer and just plays the ads without a skip right in the middle of a video. I think I was still getting the regular format too with the timer and maybe an option to skip.

Honestly, I'm game for the back-of-board connectors if only for the ergonomics. Trying to plug in fan headers and power cables with a huge heatsink in the way is and always will be a gigantic pain in the rear end.

Wow a 13 minute video that vaguely gestures towards "Product reviews are buying advice idiot".

Really highlights how much YouTubers want to avoid having things like editorial standards....

Like all reviewers they will never give up the gravy train. Companies/people dedicated to reviews are all shills. No honesty.

Crying editorial standards and "shilling" in this context (Humane AI and Fisker) is absolutely crazy.

I trust no review sites or anything anymore - there is not a single person not sucking on the teet. You say anything real bad and the free stuff stops coming in.
