    Ryzen 5 5500 XD3 (no joke)

    I just put together a 'new' AM4 rig to hook up to my bedroom TV for $110 (5600 + b550 + 16gb ram, had psu and gpu already). AM4 is still hard to beat for a super cheap build. Prob don't need a X3D vs the 5600 I have for my use case, but can definitely see it make sense for many others.

    MacBook Pro -> Thunderbolt switch -> dual monitor annoyance

    May help to say which TB4 switch you have. Anyway try VM7100 adapters and only use HDMI. DP on Mac can be finicky.

    RTX 4090 48GB from China

    Guaranteed scam. The 4090d prices I am quoting is from Taobao. No way eBay has it for significantly less.

    RTX 4090 48GB from China

    Many reports of it working fine. Its probably a 4090 chip on a 3090 PCB. There is also 4090D for a good bit less. That said, $2500 for a 4090D 48GB is still a bit more than what I want to spend.

    US could ban Chinese-made TP-Link routers over hacking fears: report

    I dont know what year you guys are still living in but China's labor cost is not really cheap anymore. Heck Mexico is cheaper. Just go look up some data.

    A new, open-source AI model by DeepSeek rivals the best, for 3% of the cost - ByteDance: "Hold my beer!" - DeepSeek releases Janus-Pro 7B AI model +

    Well, institutional investors are selling while retail is buying. Between DeepSeek and potential tariffs against Taiwan, let's just say that it is at least wise to be wary.

    A new, open-source AI model by DeepSeek rivals the best, for 3% of the cost - ByteDance: "Hold my beer!" - DeepSeek releases Janus-Pro 7B AI model +

    This is instituional traders that triggered the sell-off, not retail. Very obvious from the futures activity pre market open. These traders are way more sophisticated than you. Heck it is one reason why China is becoming stronger in sciences. In the US a lot of top talent end up in hedge funds...

    This is just speculation from Alexandr Wang. Nobody has any idea what exactly they used.

    US could ban Chinese-made TP-Link routers over hacking fears: report

    What is China going to do to me via my router lol. I'll buy the best router for the cheapest price that suits my needs. Heck I'd give up my router data for a monthly fee if they want to buy it.

    Thunderbolt cable.

    Nothing special about the Apple cable. For shorter runs passive TB cables work fine. For longer ones (6ft) best to use active ones. For even longer ones need optical. That youtube video is comparing a passive vs an active cable. Of course its going to be 'much better' but its not because its...

    I saw that the 5900xt will be $360. I should have bought the 5950x from Antonline when they had it for sale for $319.
