Jesus christ breh 68? I keep mine no lower then 78 except for when im watching nfl games in my jersey then ill bump down to maybe 75. The fukk is your electric bill like? And DC area? shyt aint even that hot. I stay in a olace where 104 is considered a nice day

I like it cool, and I can afford it

I lived in Phoenix for 4 years, I know about 85F all day in your apartment cuz your AC can't keep up. I'm over that shyt. I like to stay cool

After being in Phoenix for the hottest summer on record, I decided I'm not about that life. I can do it, if necessary, but if I can afford 68F, then why not?

Oh and DC is hot this summer. It's like a record or something. We're at like 95 with high humidity. shyt fukking sucks. I was in Houston like 2 weeks ago, and it was cooler there (). The DMV area is real hot right now. I walk to work and shyt and I'm drenching in sweat cuz of the heat and humidity. fukk that shyt. I'm gonna be comfortable at my apartment

If Zen is on par with Broadwell/Haswell at a competitive price AMD is back

if the 8 core cost less then $250
this would be very attractive for buyers
1st the rx 480
now the potential of the 8 core
amd has been doing good so far

The Zen foam mattress is good

AMD is back

They did the same shyt with Bulldozer.

Not buying it off their "tests". Will wait on real benchmarks before thinking about it.

I just bought a Steam Link. I'm gonna throw it in my bedroom along with my old consoles (PS3 and XBOX360)

It was on sale, so....

Plus my internet is the fukking shyt. All praise be to Verizon FIOS

[Ciggavelli]

Yeah....We'll see how well it performs. I have low expectations, but I thought I'd give it a try since it was on sale. Probably shoulda got a Nvidia shield but, whatever...

ALL steam hardware is kinda trash TBH.

Only the controller is what I will consider "decent"

I need some advice on the best potential way to capitalize off a laptop i got collecting dust around the house y'all. whether i should sell it (and for how much), or if it's worth fixing up and keeping because i could use another computer around the house.

It's a Toshiba Satellite. The internal fans aren't turning on and it needs a new battery so it heats up and shuts itself down but otherwise is in top notch shape.

Here's the model and exact specifications:
Toshiba Satellite A660-0QE 16.0IN I5-460M 2.53GHZ 4GB 640GB NVIDIA GeForce 310M Win 7 Home Premium

+rep and much appreciation for ANY type of advice brothers.

I don't even like that shyt (my X1 elite gets all the play...my steam controller was only used like 3 times...). But being able to stream at 1080p to my bedroom for gaming in there seemed like a good idea. If not, it's just a $35 loss....whatever

uh, there's only the controller and the Steam Link. and sorta the HTC Vive

the controller is piff. Steam Link is a streaming box, that seems to work as good as other streaming boxes
