    The Ryzen 7 5700G only supports PCIe 3.0. Your GPU is PCIe 4.0 so you may lose some frames as the connection will be downgraded to PCIe 3.0. Same for your SSD, it will be downgraded to a PCIe 3.0 connection.

    I have a 6750 XT, although it's the Asus Dual version. Goes hard. I use it for 1440p gaming and it's performing well. (Has some coil whine in certain scenarios, though.)

    Finally, unless you are really set on the ITX form factor it may be worth going to micro ATX. It will be cheaper and you'll get better cooling in a larger case.

    I'll have to disagree there. When you Favourite a post, the person that posted it gets a notification about the fact, while if you Bookmark something no notification is sent. In effect you are telling the person that you "Liked" their post.

    Also, looking at the Explore section of Mastodon the following message is shown at the top of the feed:

    >These are posts from across the social web that are gaining traction today. Newer posts with more boosts and favorites are ranked higher.

    So those Favourites are used by the algorithm to rank posts. Bookmarks are totally private and only used to save posts for your own use.

    I don't see it that way. There are separate options to Favourite or Bookmark a post. To me Bookmarking something is so you can refer to it later, although nothing is stopping you using Favourites that way.

    They are very expensive and not everyone has a garage where they can charge them. I can only park on the street so I would have to go to a charging point and sit in my car for the whole time it charges. Not as convenient as pumping petrol into my car for 2 minutes.

    I saw your other reply in this thread. I personally would go for the new 6650 XT. I don't like buying used parts as I feel I'm buying a part with a reduced lifespan, and I feel the 6650 XT is plenty for 1080p.

    Oh, I see. In that case, are you going for 1080p at 60fps or do you have a monitor with a higher framerate? If you are aiming for 60fps then the 6700XT is probably overkill.

    Get the RX 6700 XT and get a 1440p monitor. 1440p at High settings looks way better than 1080p at Ultra settings. I have the 6750 XT and play in 1440p and I'm so glad I chose that over 1080p.

    Dark Reader is one of my must haves. Turns dark mode on for every site. If a particular site already has its own native dark mode you can turn the extension off for just that site. Not perfect in all cases but works beautifully for most pages you view.

    EDIT: Tap To Tab is really good if you are using a laptop without a mouse. Just double tap the trackpad to open a link in a new tab.
