      I see China is on board with the monitors that look like they were glued to the dashboard and not actually part of it asthetic. I like that both driver and passenger get a neat throttle control. What does it do?

        twin throttle controls are usually for different engines; it’s not one set for the pilot flying and another for the pilot monitoring.

        maybe this vehicle has two engines to allow its owner to really gun it?

        The left one is the usual PRND gear stick. The right one changes between 6 different off-road modes (snow, mud, sand, rock, water, auto).

        They do make some good products, but they also make tacticool RGB gamer motherboards that are quite showy. My latest build is all black, no lights.

            Used em for nearly 20 years but their newer stuff has some reduced build quality in favour of aesthetics. The model I bought had particularly bad coil whine (as did it’s RMA replacement) so I shifted from them.

              my new gigabyte mobo also has an annoyingly loud constant buzzing sound, extremely slow post and comically buggy bios. a few friends had to rma their gb mobos because DOA, loose ram slots, instability etc… also my gpu is gigabyte 3060ti and it has a lot of problems too, nvidia is mostly to blame but i think it’s gigabytes fault that the fans minimum speed is very loud, around 1200 rpm. the fans are normally off but the temps climb to around 60c even when idle, then fans go WROOOOOOM for a few mins and then turn off. my new case has air intake at the bottom, 2x 140 mm fans blowing right into the gpu but still the damn gpu fans sometimes turn on even when just watching a video. and it’s not because of dust, the heatsink is perfectly clean.

        Why?

        Most online gaming is fps or RPG. Why would a magazine be offensive if a sword wasn’t.

          I’m going to guess because of the gun deaths epidemic.

            I’m gunna bet over time a sharp bladed instrument has taken orders of magnitude more lives.

            So again, is a sword melee worship and how would that be more or less offensive.

              Year 1066 problems just aren’t as relevant in today’s political and social climate. William of Orange totally would have had a sick sword themed gaming PC though

                No one is getting stabbed and there aren’t more stabbing deaths worldwide is what you’re saying.

              Probably not. They were in use for a much longer time, but population sizes and army sizes were much smaller during those times. Also, they are less deadly.

                They’re still in use and are a larger cause of accidental death as well.

                Are you?

                It’s a motherboard aimed at higher end fps clan play, it’s a relevant object on a relevant object.

                So I say again, rpg themed system with a sword on it. Offensive?

                Cars and drugs on a GTA themed system. Offensive?

                I think you’re just picking something benign to be upset about in the most safe time in human history. Statistically you were more likely to be murdered in 1950 before the gun worship culture was as prevalent then today. Teach, compassion, life skills and critical thinking, fear mongering over inanimates isn’t particularly useful.

                  Gun violence isn’t only about murders.

                  There’s no sword violence epidemic.

                  Go tell people in third world countries or first Nations that guns have made their life safer than any other time in history and see what they have to say about that.

                  And yeah, a drug themed motherboard would be fucking offensive, what an idiotic question!

                Have you also boycotted every game and movie that features guns or is motherboard decorations where you draw the line?
