    Meta Quest 3

    I am back.. So I was wrong, kind of. Boxing is a good workout but tends to get a bit repetitive (Playing every day for at least 20 minutes up to 1 hour for months). The Beatsaber has me still coming back, daily with minor breaks. Why I am back. A WARNING FOR META 3 USERS: My Meta updated and...

    [Poll] Steam Machine 2026 = Build / Buy / Pass + SURVEY

    Sure am talking about the current gen (youngsters) that want easy console, not the old PC folk on here. I am also talking about a roadmap made pre-ram-apocalypse so the machine should have been much cheaper and would have been console priced or cheaper. I %100 do not think they were targeting...

    [Poll] Steam Machine 2026 = Build / Buy / Pass + SURVEY

    Lets go back in time to the development of the GabeCube, the PC industry was not on fire. A Valve road map could have been an attempted path make Linux gaming being the norm. Could it be the GabeCube is intended to increase the number of Linux gamers, like the Steam Handheld did. Making Linux...

    [Poll] Steam Machine 2026 = Build / Buy / Pass + SURVEY

    My link took an update a few months ago, since then it will shows the red wifi antenna (even when wired) then the game lags for a few seconds a few times in 30 minutes. Worried this would remove my wife's desire to play couch Co-Ops, I took a mini and installed bazzite. It plays some local like...

    WTB: 64gb or 128gb 2280 m.2 SSD (give or take)

    What are you doing with the WD Black? I may have what you want but wanted to know if you would swap with money?

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    Make sure you factor in controllers in cost. I am sure most of you have seen Steve mention Valve is in the Anti monopoly fight for the game store and he mentioned Valve subsidizing the GabeCube would not be a good look right now. (It was also mentioned Valve did not want gamer's subsidizing...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    I was just asking him not to leave. Sorry if my life experience has triggered you. Not sure how long you have been on the internet but I have been a long long time, before twitter. Chat rooms were rough. I am just telling you what I was told and what fixed the issue. He said something about...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    If you leave this will become another echo chamber for them. No one will question why they are triggered by a color or why it maters so much who sleeps with who, or why a female character in a game makes them so mad. I play a FPS tactical shooter, hell I am a clan member. Every FPS tactical...

    [Kinda Hot] AOC - 27" Q27G40XMN Mini-LED, QHD, 180hz Gaming Monitor - Black $199.99 (Best Buy)

    I never would have considered AOC a flagship, times have changed. AOC was the brand I got because it was the absolute cheapest back in the day. That said I saw a YT explaining how new companies will break into a market buy offering the cheapest then once establish start to make good products.

    Who else likes likes a clean, minimalist PC build?

    I did build a black out build. Then when things were getting bad (price). I got a prebuilt RGB (fans, aio, card), and I changed the color to purple to match the color of the LED under glow of my desk. (I am over 50). My desk LED is practical, (hear me out). I have a power strip that turns on...

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    Is the hitch assembly staying on? (Long shot I have a newer Hyundai). If you say Yes, I will do the compatibility research.

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    I have to record serial numbers and have drives shredded my current employer. It breaks my heart. BUT there is no rule I can't store them and use them in other machines when needed. I have yet to shred a working SSD. I even 3d printed a Ram tray and keep DDR4 ram in it. For some reason it is not...

    Steam getting rid of Retail Gift Cards

    The store that my brother worked at had people getting scammed at a Bitcoin ATM. The employees (starting by my brother) would do what they could to talk people out of money, but you can suspect how that went. One was even so pissed he pushed past my brother knocking him back. He suspects that...

    Wow! Dream Air

    I never thought I would be able to quote this: "Hmm, is he the dad, is he the granddad, is he the granddad's granddad...? And oh my God, why is he pushing a traffic cone on the swing while his five-year-old little boy is in the mud, crying? Is... is he taunting the little boy? No, he can't even...

    The Tech Workers Building A.I. Are Scared of It, Too

    To be fair when private equity buys a company the PE often stops innovation and just suck the value out of the company. Think about all the user data\content in Twitter. That being said as Ididar mentioned it could be a revenge FU purchase.
