What are some marketing tactics that you dislike ?
  • Yep this was Canal Digital in the Netherlands. I sent them an e-mail that they should really stop doing this or I would mention it to the AP (Dutch privacy guard dog).

    I mentioned it to the AP regardless.

  • Oh sweet, my old Empire Earth box!
  • You can just buy an internal DVD-ROM drive and install it in your pc. If you lack an IDE port on your motherboard you can use PCIe expansion cards. Power can be supplied by Molex.

  • What are some marketing tactics that you dislike ?
  • To me it's sending me e-mails I have not explicitly signed up for. I have had once or twice, when I had filled out a form to order something and without pressing submit, they had already registered my e-mail address and signed me up for all kinds of spam, starting with 'weren't you about to order something'.

  • Most passes completed this Euro group stage
  • Yeah well he is at the very center of that squad. He has also proven in the Champions League why he is still a relevant player. Much like Xavi, he is the kind of player that doesn't really stand out for most watchers until you look at the stats. Not having a Kroos or Xavi on the field means your Reus or Musiala or David Villa just does not shine.

    Look at the Netherlands. Had they had a Frenkie de Jong, we might see more of players like Xavi Simons or even more of in-form Gakpo. It also makes buildup a lot easier for Van Dijk and his defensive line. Schouten and Veerman try their hardest but especially Veerman has just been struggling so much. Reijnders should be able to get to this level as he plays for Milan, but against Austria he was just powerless because he did not get proper defensive midfield support.

    Green or red? Mid-range gpu decisions

    Looking to upgrade my trusty 1070Ti. I use my pc for RPGs (Borderlands, Hogwarts Legacy) , VR fps (Alyx, Arizona Sunshine) and VR simracing (F1 23).

    Deciding between ASUS Dual 4070 (@ €600) or ASUS TUF 7800XT.

    Benchmarks don't really tell the whole story because they rarely include DLSS3, but the games I play don't really support that anyway. TUF is a better cooler, but bulkier.

    I can also just not buy anything and wait for the 4070 Super to come along.

    Thoughts?
