    Do you use Windows 10 Night Light?

    That's a plus in my case. I tend to run my monitors on lower brightness (to avoid eyestrain/headaches at night) and with the f.lux making things somewhat darker I ended up sometimes spending a few extra seconds trying to locate which screen the mouse pointer is at. Just a preference. I wouldn't...

    Sony Prices XBR-A1E OLED TV Higher Than LG, Starting at $5,000

    Right it's only the 4K tvs that can do it (2015, 2016). And so far the "feature" has been retained with the update from Android 5 to 6. I don't believe it's mentioned anywhere officially by Sony and you do need to add a custom resolution. Just like with the old Seiki 4K.

    Sony Prices XBR-A1E OLED TV Higher Than LG, Starting at $5,000

    Sony's Android TVs can take a 120hz input at 1080p. Will this end up being the first true 120hz OLED TV? That might be interesting. They also support strobbing for blur reduction... but that might be more difficult to implement here. Will be curious to see if any of these features make it.

    Sony: PS4 Pro’s 4K Gaming Is Not Misleading

    The last of us remastered will run at native 4k. And there were a few others too. I'm sure by the time PS4 pro is available there will be even more. Of course the console can run games at 4k. But that is very subjective. Just like how an older pc from say 2009 can run games in 4k. As long as...

    President of Sony Worldwide Studios Talks About No Man's Sky

    Valve does the same, in fact they were probably the first to do it. Steam made this awesome standard for digital purchases :/.

    Tesla Unveils 100 kWh Battery For Model S, Model X Cars

    And here I am thinking that my 2006 TC with 100,000 miles is too old and has too many miles... If yours made it to 265K then perhaps I'm worrying a bit prematurely. The "maintenance required" light turned on for the first time though :nailbiting:. It is my secondary car now... but still.

    Car Vent Phone Magnet $4 Prime Shipping Code

    Perhaps my old Note 4 just had a super awesome GPS chip? Is it even a chip? I dunno. :dead: It worked fine when the only thing above it was glass. But metal made it lose connection. Pretty sure my Scion is not a tank. In fact it's probably quite the opposite of a tank. I'm afraid it feels like...

    Last Call For Old School Credit Card Fraud In The U.S.

    Walmart's card readers had chip support since like 2008 if not before. I know this because friends from Europe would attempt to insert their cards and they would totally succeed... Sort of. Only to have the terminal either tell them to swipe the card or do nothing at all. It was the software...

    Last Call For Old School Credit Card Fraud In The U.S.

    Oh no. Just chip and signature. Chip and pin? Maybe next century.

    [T-Mobile Customers] Free stuff, every Tuesday

    If it was a real pizza. It was dominos though. So I didn't. Once a year I make the mistake of deciding to order dominos (probably because every other place is closed and there's no choice) just to see if it's better. And I am always disappointed. :(

    Car Vent Phone Magnet $4 Prime Shipping Code

    I bought it. For that price it's worth a try. Never had a phone holder in my car before. Normally I was totally fine with it setting next to me and randomly announcing "GPS signal lost" because it was too far from the window.

    Home Depot Sues Visa, MasterCard As PIN Battle Looms

    Few years back (2012) when Chip and Signature cards started rolling out in the US I asked how come they don't support pin especially when the same bank supports it already in other countries. It doesn't really make it any easier to use the card overseas and I was hoping the chip would simplify...

    Predator X34 Owner's Club & Discussion.

    After going through a few of these I almost got a perfect one. But it just had to be put together wrong. Anyone know how to open up one of these? I can't really figure it out. If I hold the bottom right corner hard with 2 fingers it's perfect. But obviously I can't keep doing that. I tried to...

    SSD upgrade/sidegrade?

    Not worried about failure. Been running 2 SSDs from 2009 in raid on a database server and they are doing fine still. I wasn't able to use them long on my PC due to the lack of trim/proper garbage collection. The stuttering became too much so I upgraded to a proper trim-enabled SSD. Surprisingly...

    SSD upgrade/sidegrade?

    I had no plans to upgrade my SSD until NVMe or similar became more affordable so I've been a bit out of the loop lately when it comes to SSD tech. In December of 2013 I ordered a 960gb Crucial M500 SSD and have been satisfied with it ever since. But now an opportunity arose. I was told I can...
