    Bitcoin Plummets Below $7,500

    You really believe in the Bitcoin bullshit, huh? How can anyone even think it's a viable currency when transactions take days, sometimes over a week to complete, all the while it's fluctuating wildly back and forth? I mean you use bitcoin to buy something from a company online, and the next day...

    Moving back to Windows, can't I just install an ISO?

    Yeah that's what I was going to use, but since my laptop never even came with a key, I need to know if that means it's likely stored on the BIOS, and that the OS will pick it up on it's own during install. I don't want to get halfway through the install and realize I need to sit on the phone...

    Moving back to Windows, can't I just install an ISO?

    Forgive my ignorance, but I thought I heard somewhere a while back about how Windows keys are now hardcoded onto the bios, and as long as I install the correct version that came with my computer, it should self activate? Is this correct? I'm coming from Linux and honestly after having used it...

    Pixel Density and Your Delusions

    I agree with the article but disagree with people talking about desktop resolutions. I have a 23" 1080p monitor and can clearly see the pixels. I think 110ppi or whatever is just too low for a desktop monitor that size. The issue people don't understand is that text size and UI elements have...

    Qualcomm: Future Smartphone Screens Will Push Resolutions to “6K, 8K, and Beyond”

    Seriously, even on my Nexus 5 with 445ppi, when I use Google Cardboard with it I can very clearly see pixels. For someone to argue that they can't they'd have to be legally blind. If you don't use VR, then no, me personally I can't see a difference between 445ppi and 320ish ppi.

    Qualcomm: Future Smartphone Screens Will Push Resolutions to “6K, 8K, and Beyond”

    I don't know but the crazy thing is there's always someone complaining that even 4k on a 23" desktop monitor is "just complete overkill and totally useless." Happened the last time high res desktop displays came up here. They were trying to argue that anything above 1440p is indistinguishable to...

    Did Rockstar put out a massive performance patch for GTA 5?

    It's been a while since I've played GTA 5. I booted it up and performance didn't seem quite what it should've been. Come to find out, my Crossfire was disabled and was only using one of my 270x's. I got both of them running, have every setting maxed out that I can with my VRAM, (can't use ultra...

    Samsung QLED TV Is the First TV Offering “100 Percent Color Volume”

    What are you talking about? They need pixels, the more the better. We all rave about having 1080p+ screen on a 5" device, and it has been good. The difference has been noticable all the way up to around 300-400ppi. Now that we all have 55-65" TV's and barely sit 8-10 ft away, somehow 100ppi is...

    Google’s Pixel 2: Improved Camera, CPU, Higher Price, “Budget” Pixel Also In Works

    My Verizon Galaxy Nexus without a doubt, had a removable battery. I remember this because I also had a high capacity battery for it as well as a bigger battery cover to fit the larger battery. They don't include SD card slots because that's their subtle way of encouraging you to use their cloud...

    Best RPG Android Game?

    AT&T To Throttle Your Video Quality In 2017

    That's like being told that the cable company will only sell me 720p signals for my 1080p TV. Sure, they have programming in 1080p, but their only going to give me 720p. I paid for a high resolution and it should be used as much as possible. Why don't you guys run your desktops at 720p, it's no...

    This forum has gone so soft, nothing [H]ard about it amymore. Been following [H] since... man, it must have been the late 90s. Help me out guys, [G]eriatric forum is a more appropriate term. 1080p on a 5.5" screen is 400ppi. 480p (853×480) on a 5.5" screen is 178ppi. You really can't tell a...
