    Open Source Low-Cost 3D-Printed Prosthetic Hand

    I can't wait to find out this can be done with legs as well. My current right leg was $16k two and a half years ago; my permanent socket was $5000 by itself. I bet the weight-bearing aspect might keep it from being a reality, though.

    DCP_Watchdog_Violation getting annoying

    My wife has a hand-me-down HP laptop that I've cleaned up and souped up for her (dv6 series). She has been using Windows 10 on my desktop and was comfortable installing it on her laptop. Since installing Windows 10, even lightly touching the trackpad results in a DCP_Watchdog_Violation BSOD...

    Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10158 for PCs

    But, hey; at least I no longer have to pfutz around with audio settings every time I boot up just to get sound anymore.

    Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10158 for PCs

    Cortana can't connect to the internet and Chrome throws up ERR_CONNECTION_RESET on well over half the websites I normally visit. Tried a new NIC and resetting/rebooting the router and modem just in case. Whee, this ain't fun.

    The Shady World Of Antivirus Telemarketing

    I refuse to work on any computer without first determining the client's gullibility to telesales. I've had people come to me and demand their money back because Sanjib from Windows told them I hadn't really secured their computer and they spent $$$ letting them remote access it and "fix" it. One...

    Windows 10 Build 10061 Hands-On: Fresh Apps and Features

    I can't wait until they fix the "can't open Win32 apps from the start menu" and "the new app store won't open" bugs. Other than those two, it's working quite well for me.

    Changing cases, which AIO water cooler to go with it?

    I'm downsizing somewhat, selling off my 800D case and including the H100i with it. In its place I'm going to be getting an Air 540 case. I'd like to move up to a larger radiator to go with the larger front fans. Which AIO cooler should pair well with that case and size?

    Study: People Try Apple Pay Once, Don’t Go Back

    I've used both Google Wallet and Apple Pay extensively (for some reason, my little podunk town has caught on) and find both to be just as fast and easy as the CC swipe. Different people have different experiences, but thus far mine have been positive.

    Rated "R" Power Rangers Bootleg

    The original that was hosted by Vimeo included the constant profanity, more gore, and full frontal nudity that the YouTube edition lacked. I hope someone was able to grab it before Saban forced it down.

    AVG Claims Zero Day Protection

    You couldn't pay me to use AVG. In my experiences with it, it simply doesn't work as well as other solutions.

    Metro Vacuum ED500 DataVac Electric Duster, Safe alternative to canned air?

    This thread convinced me to get one. It got here less than an hour ago and I've already dusted (read: blown all over the place) every electronic device in my office. This thing rocks! I didn't realize how much dust in my h100i was being missed by the canned air; I'm down 2C and a hand full of...

    Most fun thing I've played in a while. That's sad.

    Google's Motorola Mobility to Close Texas Plant

    Google got Motorola's patent portfolio, which is staying put right where it is now TYVM. All Lenovo is getting is the hardware division. In the end, Google got exactly what they wanted out of the deal. I happen to have a Moto X, and it's a damn snappy phone. I love it. Almost pure...

    Printer buying time; recommendations?

    My old Epson Artisan 720 has decided to kick the can after years of service. Printer reviews are an absolute crapshoot online - what one site loves, another site hates. Going by Amazon and NewEgg reviews, every printer available is potentially a pile of trash. Where else is there to come...

    Apple Quote of the Day

    It's tough being constantly ripped off. For chrissake, Apple's competitors are so facile at copying Apple that they're ripping off features Apple hasn't even thought of yet. Google should absolutely be sued for the notification pull-down in Android, and WebOS' multitasking is a blatant rip-off...
