I mentally correct other people's spelling mistakes, I'd never mention it as I know many struggle with it, just obsessed with doing it

When I know the new entry level NVIDIA GPU RTX 3050 is released on 27th January and I'm worrying about how I will be able to buy one on launch day. Can't wait to crank up my benchmarks and give it a good test. It's got a smaller number of cores than I'd like but at least it has 8gb GDDR6 and is in a 128bit bus unlike the AMD 6500XT which was so disappointing.

I didn’t need to google about 73 per cent of this post , which was excellent

I'm so obsessed with the Beatles, I can tell you where each of them was, and what they were doing, on any given month from 1963-1970

Generally nerds are passionate about academia, geeks have huge amounts of knowledge about special areas of interest, which are usually a bit obscure

I think I'm more nerd side

There is definitely crossover between geek and nerd. I think the geek is more into applying nerdy knowledge into a niche that they are personally interested in... like gaming, tech, astonomy, robotics, 3d printing etc. A pure nerd is more about the theory/concepts/equation of pure math or physics or likewise.

Most things scifi related I could probably talk about for hours, some more obscure universes and others well, I could probably talk about all 18 legions in 40k.

The 3050’s are going to be bought wholesale by miners and scalper’s I reckon

The 3050 hashrates are low and ether is gone to shit so im hoping there isn't so much incentive. I'd snap up a 2060 super if I could get one for any kind of sensible money. Got my eldest a ryzen 5700g for Xmas and doing the APU thing is only JUST good enough for basic 1080p.

That’s the sort of thing I do

I had spreadsheets for covid responses in about 15 countries with very clear conclusions drawn as a result

Geek more than nerd...

When you get a 3d printer for christmas and now all you can see around u are things to make and improve on it..

and you family are asking why are already upgrading the perfectly good present..

And you have already re-masterd your blender skills first learned on a 16bit computer in 1998.

You know you're a nerd when people cross to the other side of the street, and those who meet you face to face make that mistake only once; those who have narrow esoteric interests, and who are empathic and socially skilled; the two are not mutually exclusive; learn to keep their obsessions to themselves, and pander to the lowest common denominator in everyday conversations and other interactions.

The witless, clueless and ultimately friendless get what they deserve !
