That's insane it's buried so deep in the settings. I get why, but that's terrible

I mean to be fair I hate Android too, I just also hate iOS :)

I've been running MoCA in my home for the last ~5 years and it seems to be doing just fine. Even in my last house with older coax run I was able to get ~1Gbps to my endpoints. The latency difference hasn't been a problem for me, even with 3-4 adapters in use.

It's not quite as nice as having cat6 run everywhere, but unless you're trying to like edit 4K video off a NAS or something that needs a ton of bandwidth it should do just fine.

FWIW, I use these adapters from GoCoax, but there are other good ones out there too: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-Ethernet-Bandwidth-existing/dp/B09RB1QYR9

I tend to stick Elegoo PLA/PLA+ and that usually works well for me - their dark blue looks fantastic IMO. Overture's PLA seems to print well too, so did the roll of eSun I got.

Just avoid Creality Ender PLA at all costs. That stuff was awful!

Not at all! I was able to graduate at 22, but I knew plenty of people that graduated much older for various reasons (changing majors multiple times, taking a year or two to work and/or help the family, etc).

If anything, it's more "embarrassing" to not graduate once you've started, but as long as you're able to (at least try to) get a job and contribute to society, who cares?

I mean, like most reviewers they test their games at ultra/very high to isolate the GPU performance. But realistically you shouldn't be expecting to run those settings at 1440p/4K for a budget card like this.

More 8GB cards sucks if that's what gets released, but it's not like you can't game at all without more VRAM. Just turn down your settings till a better deal comes along.

If you haven't yet, I would try disabling the XMPP/DOCP profile to see if that passes a test. This will tell you if the RAM is just dead or if it's degraded a bit and can't hit the same speeds as it did before. If it does pass, then re-enable that profile and try downclocking or loosening the timings a bit to see if that'll work.

Failing that, you could try increasing the voltage slightly (like +0.05V, I wouldn't go above 1.4V), but I'd be careful on this front to not cause anymore damage.

Sucks that this happened right now, but IMO it'd be better to sacrifice a slight hit in performance than to buy RAM by itself at these premiums.

This is actually kinda cool! Hopefully it eventually becomes a "default" of some sort or at least has an easy toggle in compatible configs.

oh gee, thanks! 🤣

If this is true, that's a small win but I'll take it :)

That's very cool! I'll have to make one for my wife :)

I can't say I'm surprised. I can't imagine too many scenarios where one would want to buy a motherboard without RAM and a CPU, barring the obvious replacement purchases and the occasion you might need a feature your board doesn't have (like PCIe gen 4 to gen 5). Yet another hardware shortage definitely puts a damper on enthusiasm too...

Maybe we'll see motherboards come down in price to drive sales? One can hope.
