\n00:00 Issac Needs a new GPU – Suggestions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m currently planning on picking up a GeForce GTX 1650 to replace the dead card, but I want to do a quick sanity check before I spend the money. I know how easy it is to get confused \/ misled \/ make a mistake. When Nvidia names their products, clarity is not their top priority. <\/p>\n

If you have any advice, please share it in the comments. Thanks!<\/p>\n

07:56 Stop asking me to turn on notifications!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ugh. I’m not annoyed at having to click “No thanks”, I’m annoyed by the sheer pointlessness of the entire system. It didn’t occur to me until after the show to wonder if there is a plugin to auto-refuse any such offers. After searching around, I discovered you don’t even need a plugin. Chrome has an option somewhere in the menus to block all such requests. Ideally, this popup:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…would also offer some sort of link to a way to turn off these silly things forever.<\/p>\n

I found a site that explained how to disable notification popups. While reading it, I got a full-page popup that obscured the content with an invitation to subscribe to the site’s newsletter.<\/p>\n

The internet was a mistake.<\/p>\n
