    If you are going with the 5060/Ti, get a 16GB version. The PSU is a toss up to upgrade now or later. The newer PSUs are going to be coming with over-current protection specifically on the stupid 12Vx6 so you'll probably want to wait for those. Since you are eying the 5060/5070s, you won't have to deal with melting pins, but Nvidia is in their "let's pump MORE POWAA"-to-the-GPUs-phase so down the road, it could be an issue. Regarding supply, I wouldn’t keep hoping Nvidia normalizes their supply, even when the Supers come out. It’s pretty evident they do not care for consumer gaming GPUs with most of their wafer allocation being devoted to data center GPUs.

    Frontier and Delta, being the newer of the set, have better ROI than 7. Older shows get lower priority because of higher ROI, needs more time to remaster for Blu-ray, are less popular than their later cousins, etc./all the above.

    Something for you to think about as you watch new shows with subs. Crunchyroll Accidentally Reveals They've Been Using ChatGPT for Sub Translations (CBR.com)

    For you theater-goers. AMC now warns moviegoers to expect ‘25-30 minutes’ of ads and trailers Maybe it's a blessing-in-disguise that I have less time to go to theaters these days.

    The leaked specs for the 5070Ti Super seem to point to it being more of a RAM upgrade and 50W more TGP than the 5070TI. The CUDA core count is the same for the 5070Ti Super and 5080 Super. Both 5070Ti Super and 5080 Super are still based on GB203. Perhaps this fixes the missing-ROPS issue. The 5070 Super appears to be the only one getting more CUDA cores along with the VRAM spec bump. 🤷‍♂️

    Just some observations...

    Seeing that you're eyeing the 5060 Ti, it could survive on the dual-fan cooler. The performance isn't great enough that it requires a 3-fan cooler. And seeing that xx60-series cards normally get the low profile/SFF-treatment, you could go either route. It really just depends on the manufacturer. I'd look at how much airflow your case gets and make the judgement call. More airflow, more cooling you could direct at the GPU so you could step up the a 3-fan GPU design.

    Key phrasing there is "...found TWO YEARS of Jedha working group printouts in your files", not that she was given access 2 years prior to Krennic questioning her. She was probably added to the distribution list (mind you, the WRONG distribution list) when she was assigned to the Ghorman mining-project 4 years prior. But like Krennic said, she's a hoarder. She probably has collected documents outside of her jurisdiction on all sorts of projects and intel. i.e. She knows something about everything, but not everything about some thing in particular.

    But it's still Windows, even if stripped down. The Xbox app is running on top of this stripped down Windows and allows you to import games from other storefronts (Steam, Battle.net, Epic, etc as well as serve as a Xbox Cloud device). Microsoft is trying to make this a one-stop-shop-handheld. And that admirable but we'll have to see how well it does it in practice.

    I use Powerline. It works. But it's not a replacement for structured ethernet. (Yes, there's also MOCA. Not available.)

    I wouldn't call this connected tech. Infrastructure more like it. Home mesh systems are increasingly entering the realm of necessity for most homes (not apartments & condos). Home networks running 6Ghz wi-fi definitely need a mesh system to get the best coverage. Extra 2 repeaters or APs are kinda needed if you want proper 5 or 6Ghz coverage. Also unfortunate as well is that there are still many homes without structured data wiring.

    Still gonna wait for Black Friday/holiday bundles. Maybe more brands will release a SDEX cards by the end of the year besides Lexar. Also 1st adopters can work out the kinks. 😘
