I noticed it was back to $30 last night when I checked. FWIW one issue I've had twice now is the firestick losing my Netflix password and having some burps in connecting to Netflix...

Always something in these cheap devices. Maybe you can sideload Netflix apk? Tons of options. Look on YouTube.

Related to A/V as well as I'm going to use to re-encode h.264 videos to h.265 (saving lots of space without quality loss). Speed of doing it with CPU alone (old core i5) is 15-25ftp, now to 300-500fps

 

[j_garcia]

Not the 1180?

Not the 1180?

No, no need to. Even 1070ti is overdoing it. It pretty much guarantees 60fps in any modern game at 1080p and 2k resolutions.

On my list for my next upgrade. Are the prices finally in the realm of sanity?

yes, they are basically back to 1 year old msrp prices. Similar 1070ti from nvidia is $450. I got this Zotac with upgraded cooling system for exactly same

 

[afterlife2]

Well my new cans should have been here yesterday but the FedEx guy decided not to come into our town and tag every package in town as 'no one home/business closed'. Needless to say they got an ear full from several people. I have never seen that one before.

Weird. I recently discovered those since my automation software added support for them. I'd like to try one, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Installation looks easy enough. Let me know how you like it.
