    4K or Bust!

    Unless I am mistaken- Planet earth 2 on Netflix is not in HDR, just 4K. The blurays however have HDR+4K.

    Blade Runner 2049 Stumbles at Box Office

    I watched it on Friday evening, and I was surprised at the paltry audience. It's a slow burn, but the movie stays in your mind because of its exquisite set pieces, Ryan Gosling's acting and the beautifully crafted cityscapes. Slightly unrelated, but I am glad moviepass exists now- I have been...

    Windows 10 Redstone 2 Will Be Released In April

    The gaming "improvement" is basically hogwash: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/242845-now-know-microsofts-upcoming-game-mode-windows-10-will

    82% Of Households Still Pay For Cable

    It's precisely because of the lower bundle rates that a lot of people go with cable subscription. Google fiber has no such promotion, and as a result the number of cable subscribers is in single digit percent range: Google Fiber Has Only 54,000 TV Subscribers, and Sign-Ups Are Slowing About 50k...

    Google Fiber Hits Speed Bumps As Alphabet Looks To Cut Costs

    Everyone here has that sentiment- the homeowners had the HOA contact google to try and get the dates- but no dice- atleast they got the fiber installed. They lay down the fiber outside my house a few weeks back. I have the option of getting gigapower now but no way that i am getting myself tied...

    Video Games Are Going To Change Retirement Forever

    The same could be said about watching TV/movies or reading books as a hobby after you retire. Aside from the amount of mental focus and physical tolerance required to sit and do any of these activities at length, at that age- there is also the question of getting bored doing just one type of...

    Automatic Emergency Braking Coming To 99% Of Cars By 2022

    I have this on my 2015 Camry and frankly I am impressed with how well it works. I initially had it on a setting where it brakes when the distance to the car in front is pretty large. It once stopped the car several feet before the car in front when he slammed on the brakes suddenly. Lowering the...

    Rumor: Intel Releasing Three Generations Of 10nm Processors

    1nm would be the absolute theoretical limit for feature sizes- since atomic distances are in that range. Realistically, Quantum tunneling puts the minimum Si based transistor feature sizes to around 5nm. We will hit that almost certainly as soon as they move out of 10nm feature sizes.

    Google Exploring Fiber for Chicago and Los Angeles

    Close to what has happened in Raleigh/Triangle. TWC has bumped up everyone in the google fiber area to ~10x their original speeds (TWC Maxx as they call it) so they don't lose their entire user base en masse once fiber comes around. The triangle being heavily tech savvy is especially on the...

    Doubling RAM On Smartphones Is "Silly"

    The biggest issue with having less than 3gb or so RAM with today's high resolution screens and heavy applications is how much they enter into the swap territory when the amount of free RAM is reduced to less than 200mb. Couple that with the horrible or barely acceptable flash card speeds we see...

    Ads Using Inaudible Sound To Link Your Phone, TV, Tablet, And PC

    Chromecast uses sub ultrasonic frequency to link a mobile device when they are not connected to the same wireless network. The technology here wouldn't be all that different, Chromecast links with a unique pin- the advertising platform would have the same tech behind it. Most people can't hear...

    These Tech Giants Are the Walking Dead

    A lot of large companies use private clouds- AWS and public cloud services are only useful if you are going to be small-medium sized. As soon as you reach into the heavy computation/ Petabyte sized databases spread across multiple nodes, most public cloud services don't cut it. And that is one...
