Ooooh oooh I know this one! Due to the overwhelming success, they’re going to shut down F099 as soon as possible.

Having screwed around with a handful of different budget GPUs and monitor resolutions- don’t rely on upscaling with new GPUs if you’re starting below 1440p. 1080p is rough with DLSS/FSR Quality.
FSR is wonderful for keeping older tech in service, but Nvidia/AMD relying on upscaling and frame-generation for brand new GPUs to keep games running acceptably at the resolutions we declared were acceptable back in the days of the 1080ti is fucked up.
Honestly the price points across the whole industry for 1080p-class GPUs is perverse. Every GPU is named about 1-1.5 tiers higher than it actually should be.
You’ve been out of the loop for a while, but you picked some good specs to start. I have some general thoughts below:
Cooler- don’t forget some of the new ultra competitive HSF options from competitors around the $50 price point. Check out Gamersnexus and some of their recent cooler reviews for alternatives. The space has gotten extremely competitive.
Motherboard- you want B650. B660 is intel’s socket.
CPU- So AM5 is going to be a fairly long-lived platform. You may want to consider the 7600 as an alternative, as by the time you’ll want to upgrade your (4060-tier) GPU you’d probably overshoot a 7800X3D anyway. AM5 is likely going to last long enough that a theoretical 9800X3D will blow both the 7600 and 7800X3D out of the water.
GPU- if you’re shooting for value and are wanting to have a build you can upgrade into, nothing beats the 6700XT/6750XT right now. Just search both those in PCPartPicker and sort price>low-high. Grab the cheapest one.
“Can I revert to Google stock Android?
Technically yes, but note that this will void your warranty and support with us”
I wouldn’t give them my money entirely because of this one line, personally.
No notification LED either, locked to /e/ in the US for keeping warranty, no buy.
Fairphone is damn close in spirit though, especially in the EU market.
If a phone hit all of these, and added 6 years of guaranteed (timely) OEM OS updates, I would pay upwards of $2,000+.
OEMs hit me up - I’ve got a credit card ready to go right now.
Who wants to take bets on how long it will be until F099 is taken down?
I’ve got a tenner on 01/01/24.
Skimmed the US site. Unless I’m dumb, there’s no Non-Windows Key options on any products other than a Linux-variant that they currently up charge for.
What a shithole company.
I didn’t hear about this. Excite
What’s the viability of this tactic in most states? I don’t even think most states prevent the electoral college electors from just picking whoever they want, so R in states that try to prevent him running can just run his VP as P (and Milo Yianoppolous or something as a fake VP) then just vote for Trump if their district votes R.
I think some MBA types at both companies are starting the process to turn PC gaming into a new-car sales model.
It’s where flagship smartphones have been going for a while now.
I’ve seen the innards of a KG.
You’ll get like 20 miles of range with the battery packs you might be able to squeeze into some hidey holes.
