My PC I just built, a Ryzen 5950x with an X570S chipset, has the least PCIe slots I've ever had on a PC. (3) Plus... if you use the second slot, it cuts your graphics card down to x8 PCIe lanes, so no way !!! And if you use the third s

These fuses are inside the CPU itself. They are programmed in a sense much like the firmware itself is. These fuses have always been around in microcontrollers. They are used to configure various aspects of the microcontroller operations, l

Alternatively, you could use a $2000 - $4000 (used price) C14 telescope on a $4000 AP900 (used price) mount, with a $1000 planetary camera. Still a chunk of change. The only thing you can't buy used is the apparently killer atmospheric

My local optometrist uses a $99 Enshey (check amazon) IPD measurement device. I guess if I was ordering glasses for my entire family (we do), it would probably be worth it.

In my 20 years of experience under the stars, nothing beats the aesthetics of a refractor with a binoviewer. If I was starting again I would get a 4 inch refractor and put a binoviewer on it with a pair of 24mm panoptics.
