A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's just text, I copied it for you

June 30: "Let me know if you'd like the block back either way. And we can ship it back with the 3090 Ti." July 6: "We'll send back the Monoblock and 3090T

July 12: "The block and the 3090 Ti should be sent sometime next

week."

July 30: LTX Extra Life Auction featuring Billet block ends

Early August: "So, there was a communication mishap and we ended up

auctioning off the Monoblock in silent auction for charity at LTX. The

good news, is that it isn't just sitting on a shelf."
