@AdamPMurray What a legend!!! I spent literally hundreds of hours listening to his banter, wisdom and hilarious rants throughout the years! Seeing him in the No BS podcast # 200 now (11 yrs later!) is incredibly bittersweet... Rest in peace Gordon!! You'll be missed!!! https://t.co/SW3N07dcrr

@JoshDWalrath I pulled the trigger on my Razer Blade 14 (Ryzen 9 5900HX) two days ago and... so far, so good!

Even my Canon LIDE 200 USB scanner (from 2009) is working!!

@OfficialPCMR Hey, some say that the PS/2 ones in the middle there have lower latency than USB... 👀

[I/O Sam @IOSamFranco]

@ende_ohne @SnazzyLabs I second that! I was shocked how good such an inexpensive tool like this ended up being... Hard to imagine why most DIYers out there would need anything more expensive that this.

@JoshDWalrath And I still haven't finished it...

[I/O Sam @IOSamFranco]

@lisa_liberal It seems the Transformers, of all cartoons, got it right though...

[I/O Sam @IOSamFranco]

Who said it's only The Simpsons?

[I/O Sam @IOSamFranco]

@Bearspacegoat @JoshDWalrath Sigh... Like we needed any more supply/demand problems in the PC peripherals market since 2020... 😒

[I/O Sam @IOSamFranco]

@LemonadeUpgrade Not that this is any consolation, but it could be worse... You could be in Brazil!

(you don't wanna know how bad it is to import electronics in f*ck!n6 Brazil!🤮)

[I/O Sam @IOSamFranco]

@LemonadeUpgrade It seems the best way would be to buy tech in bulk in the US or Asia (maybe using freight forwarding services) and then ship everything at once to try to dilute the shipping cost. Not sure if there is much to be done about import duties though...

@32andrew_ Touché! I didn't know they call it "FU" in the South Central Coast... (pay no attention to those "liberl" from the North and the South! XD)

[I/O Sam @IOSamFranco]

@32andrew_ My Vietnamese wife would beg to differ...

[I/O Sam @IOSamFranco]

@JoshDWalrath The last good Microsoft OS... From a time when the OS (not the user) was the product.

[I/O Sam @IOSamFranco]

@thinkcomps And seeing @hardwareasylum and @guru3Dcom review blurbs there make it all the more special!

[I/O Sam @IOSamFranco]

@NVIDIAGeForce @PcjunkieMods PC case manufacturers should take notice! #GeForceDay
