Heh, I remember when the Nintendo Wii came out. I worked logistics at a retailer. Literally had to escort those off the trailer with security, because people would take them off the line and hide them in the shelves in the back.

What made it weird was that it kinda wasn't exactly clear cut theft...On break, the workers would then bring the Wii's to the store front and purchase them. Some did it for themselves, for friends, and others would put that stuff online and scalp em.

So the store got the sale. Nothing stolen, but the customer never had a chance to buy it, which was crappy.

I wonder if the thieves even knew what they were getting at first. Most containers and trailers aren't very descriptive of the contents.

I could totally see some thieves getting into this while it was sitting at a drop lot. Got super lucky.

Toss anything with retail packaging in the bed of a truck, drive off, and sell on social media.

I use Edge at work for our intranet. It requires credentials to view pages and Edge can access the Windows "keyring" (don't know the Windows term) for my login. Saves me from having to login endlessly.

That said, if it's a chrome clone, like opera, I don't really have a use for it on Linux. Firefox and Chromium are just fine for me.

Ironically, our IT people tell us to use Firefox or Chrome at work when going onto the internet. They are an older bunch, so they might have IE PTSD.

This is such a good game. Feels like a legit tabletop strategy game, depth and all.

Probably also why it can be so challenging. I'm also a horrible table to player, so that could be it too.

Thanks all. I think I sorta follow, but the executive / marketing speak is so.... Bad?

If I hear one of our "high performing leaders" in my work talk about "pivoting" one more time....

Quoting: DerpFoxDidn't the 11th gen came out like earlier this year? intel range is getting harder and harder to follow.

Literally took the words out of my mouth.

Also.... I'm not normally one to criticize one's use of language, especially here considering how many people are not native English speakers (and I respect the heck out of your language abilities).
But, I am a native English speaker and I'd like to think I do ok at my language. I assume Gregory Bryant, Intel executive vice president and general manager of the Client Computing Group, is as well (or has a competent translation team).

Given that; I have absolutely no idea what anything he said actually means:

Quote"The performance hybrid architecture of 12th Gen Intel Core processors is an architectural shift made possible by close co-engineering of software and hardware that will deliver new levels of leadership performance for generations,"

Glad to know my great grand children will see the new levels of leadership performance. I've always wanted high performing leadership.

Quote"This begins with the arrival of our flagship Core i9-12900K – the world’s best gaming processor – and you will see even more incredible experiences as we ship the rest of the 12th Gen family and beyond."

What? See more incredible experiences as they ship? I mean, I like logistics, but unless that freight is coming on a venerable locomotive, I can't imagine seeing such an incredible experience.

Edit: fixing my terrible English, lol

Quoting: slaapliedje

Quoting: denyasisPretty sure those base specs are better than my "new" computer I built in the end of 2018. Similar price too.

And a full keyboard?!?

Impressive.


Only thing that seems off to me is the touchpad placement. Wouldn't it make more sense to have it to the right side? (I'll admit I'm a right hander so I might be biased, lol)

I am so used to my thinkpad, I now think trackpoints are the superior device. So it would be hard for me to go to a laptop without one... but then if we are talking about a gaming laptop... I would still prefer to have an external keyboard and mouse.

Also, I hate when I see laptops without a full 10key...

Is that the little joystick like thing in the middle of the keyboard? My thinkpad had one back in 2004. It wasn't bad at all. Didn't know they still did things like that.
