I'll post this again because people seem to be taking this article as if it's fact.

The 14-year-old was found in the man's back garden and rushed to hospital but died of his injuries.
He said: ?The man thought the victim was a robber and shot at him. He was arrested on the same day and has been charged with murder.?
?My neighbour recently moved into the neighbourhood, he didn?t like vuvuzelas and the noise they made. I think that?s the reason he killed my son.?

Who does like Vuvuzelas? and you think? the entire reason for this article is because someone THINKS he might have been killed because of a vuvuzela? was there a vuvuzela next to the kid?

However Mr Cele disputed the claim. He added: ?It was not that dark and my son was not covering his face so my neighbour could clearly see who he was firing at.

As he said above the man has just moved into to the neighbourhood how does he know his kid? South Africa is an incredibly dangerous place which tops a lot of list for murders, rape, hijackings, home invasion etc.

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
