Yeah I can see a treadmill being extremely boring. I usually ride and run outside, but I had to ride on a trainer for a couple of weeks because of an injury and it was just awful. I couldn't wait to be done. But when I'm outside sometimes I'll extend my ride for another 10km just because the weather is nice and I feel good, I'm (almost) never in a rush to finish.

I don't think I could run on a treadmill either, at least outside I have short goals to reach (ok now to the next lamp post...)

I cycle for adventure and experience, it's also why I prefer gravel and offroad cycling to road. That gravel crunch in the forest, smell of the trees, sound of birds and absolutely no traffic is pure bliss. Ok sure there is some suffering during climbs, but the feeling of accomplishment when you finally get on top and the descent that follow are worth it.

I join one gravel competition a year, but I go for the event, not to actually compete. I like riding with one friend, on paths where we can ride side by side and chat, and I don't see a point in group road rides where you just stare at the butt of the rider in front of you the entire ride.

In general I experience joy the entire bike ride, it's like my therapy, a couple of hours without a phone, outside, just me and silence. I guess the fitness that comes with it is good too.

Why would anyone use Threads?

But pods!

It's so adorable!

I outright blocked twitter domain in Reddit app I used before, and that was before twitter got locked down to unregistered users. Now any twitter link would just result in "login" screen for me, making those posts useless.

If a post is so interesting that it needs to be posted, maybe just post a screenshot instead and add source as a comment.

I have only good experience with Logitech mice, except one time with Performance MX, but I got it replaced for a new one without issues.

I've had a G502 and G403 wireless for years now and they've been solid.

What's your experience?

What length exactly are we talking about here? The length does impact Display Port and HDMI a bit at higher resolutions and refresh rates, but just make sure the cable lists whatever you need, you can buy 5m DisplayPort cables which will support 4K 144Hz and more. For HDMI they make optical cables for longer cables, I have a 10m HDMI cable which supports 4K 144Hz, but I couldn't get even 4K 30 over 10m of cheap HDMI cable (that one only supported 1080p 60).

Even moving the mouse and windows around and scrolling is more enjoyable on 120Hz. Yes, it makes single player games a better experience as well.

But you're right, you get used to lower refresh rate as well.

It's eye candy, it's more enjoyable to play. Will it make you a better player? Debatable, probably not really, but it's still fun and looks amazing.

The only way to keep the current motherboard is 7700K, but that's reall not worth the upgrade over 6700. You will need a new motherboard. You can get intel 12 and 13th gen or Ryzen 5000 and still use DDR4 RAM, but only if your RAM is at least 3200MHz CL16. If your RAM is slower, then you would've be getting the full potential of the new CPU. And in case you need to buy new RAM, you might as well get DDR5 since it doesn't really cost much more than DDR4, and you can get Ryzen 7000 series CPU.

If you're getting intel 13th gen, make sure you pick the correct motherboard with the right RAM support, while CPUs support both kinds of RAM, the motherboard will only support the one kind it's designed for.

Juat go for it. I'm running a 2080 with a 4K 1440Hz monitor and it runs ok, and when it doesn't, I can reduce the details or enable DLSS or something. 3060Ti should be perfectly fine for 3440x1440.

But then again it really depends on the games you play, if you're currently struggling to keep 60fps at 1080p, then it's gonna run worse on bigger resolution of course. And there are benefits of the larger display and higher resolution outside of games as well.

Don't get a 1080p 29", it's gonna be overall smaller than two 24" monitors, an ultra wide 29" is the same height as 24", just wider, but not twice as wide.
