The website says international retailers are coming soon.

You sure about that?

Reminds me of the videos of kids trying to figure out rotary phones.

Given that the US has almost zero privacy legislation, the politics of the owner/maker often hints at decisions that eventually make it into the software. Many of the reasons to avoid chrome and chromium are similar to this, though not about a specific person but about the values that google holds in fucking over standards. We see this reflected in some of the decisions of say social media platforms (even "free-as-in-beer" ones) and many companies.

In many cases, you're still giving them money and/or power to continue fucking up open standards.

Oh it definitely is. I mean we've had many re-releases of a 2600 including multiple Flashback consoles.

AFAIK, only one was moddable to use old catridges, but none shipped with that capability. But many came with a 20+ games and were significantly cheaper.

One additional point I think some others left out, in a recent LTT lab tour video, an employee took potshots at GamersNexus and HardwareUnboxed by saying LTT wasn't reusing benchmark test results and implying GN and HUB were. HUB responded on twitter pointing out they they'd rerun many benchmarks and pointed to some quality issues in LMG tests. Linus responded on the WAN show in a pretty dismissive way and mentioned journalistic integrity or something. This seems to have lead GN to make that 45 minute video which includes a bunch of evidence from LMG videos.

Toxic workplace accusations aside for a moment, some of this might have blown over were it not were Linus's shitty handling at every turn. He probably could've diffused some of this current situation, but just keeps being dismissive and adversarial. Steve of GN said they'd been thinking about these issues for the past few months, but I'm not sure this video would've dropped this week or in quite the same format had Linus not fucked up his response on the WAN show.

It sounds like it’ll fit. many things in the case are tight, though. Pretty, but not fun to adjust some things when the build is near complete.

I would definitely try the top first. I worried about clearance and grabbed short ram but ended up having enough in the end. I’m pretty sure i saw a few pcpartpicker builds with tall ram and radiators on the top, but the motherboard is the deciding factor there.
