September 19, 20205 yr How many billions do you need to just get by. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
September 19, 20205 yr This is disturbing, Zucker...whatever his name is might not be able to buy a fleet of personal 500' yachts this year? He might have to get a second job, just devastating.

September 21, 20205 yr And it won't be available where I live, because our anti-trust agency does not want to allow Facebook to force users into a Facebook account. Which is exactly the right move. Facebook can stick it up theirs...
September 22, 20205 yr And I'm somewhat of a benefactor of this decision. A friend of mine had an almost brand new MSI laptop G66 Stealth (Comet Lake CPU, 32 GB RAM, nVidia 2080 Super), which unfortunately he tinkered with and voided the warranty. It was dead and wouldn't even boot into the BIOS. He told me that if I could fix it, I could keep it. It also came with an Oculus Rift S, but I'm probably going to have to give that back eventually when he gets a new laptop. Anyway I pulled the NVMe Western Digital SSD and the laptop would at least boot into the BIOS settings. I then tested the drive on my desktop system with my SSD enclosure and it was completely dead. I took a chance and ordered another SSD, installed Win 10 and guess what? $250 later, the laptop works fine. Plugged in the Rift S and played around with it. The last time that I used a VR headset was on another friend's PS4 and although the technology has improved since then, the resolution is still too low for me to read the fine print (read that as, aircraft gauges, etc.). What's coming up next from HP and others though will change that, although even the new VR headsets still aren't going to compete with a 4K monitor. I'm probably going to buy a Reverb G2 and hope that this laptop will tide me over with MSFS for the next six months or so.
