Thanks, Robert L! Just got my commuter bag, great so far. Now I need the Tech Sack for more organization
  Marcin W
Thanks, Marcin W! How about a Tech Train Car? Dirt cheap compared to a boat or plane, much easier to modify, and can be transported by road on a lorry if needed. Private train car charters are already a thing in Canada
 
Reply to Marcin W
Reply @Marcin W! That sounds like a good backup plan

Thanks, ELi A! Evening DLL. Linus, If you decide to get the 5090 will you turn on Multi-frame Gen? If so what will be your limit on the ratio of rendered to generated frames. Thanks for all you do.

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi LLD, over the past years I've gotten many letters from healthcare providers telling me that I'm impacted by a data breach. They all offer 1-2 years of credit monitoring. Should they be doing more?
