    4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 TV Database

    I recently purchased a Crossover 404K off of eBay from "dream-seller" for $518.90 free ship. It came promptly and despite not having a remote or a US adapter for the power supply (which were mentioned in the listing so no fault of theirs) I am extremely impressed. I cannot find a dead pixel (I...

    New Credit Cards May Make Tipping More Awkward

    Given the hourly wage in TN for servers is $2.13, $6.63/hr doesn't appear attractive. In fact most places will "let you go" if they have to compensate you for the difference between minimum wage and what you technically made. I used to wait tables and I'm glad I got out of the profession because...

    Newest Windows 10 Version to Leak (So Far), Build 10031

    Is it too much to ask for a selectable Windows 7 mode where the UI is the same (or very similar) with the advanced underpinnings of Win 10? I know MS doesn't want to do that but it would make me upgrade for a reasonable price.

    Comcast: Data Caps Are “Mandated By Law”

    I'm in the Memphis area and the only choice I have is either Comcast or AT&T (non U-Verse which tops out at 6mbit). I am actually happy with their service given that I pay $29.99/mo total for 25mbit service (renewing on promo rates / have have my own modem) but the 300gb cap does suck. I've gone...

    Time Warner Cable Sneaks In Higher Fees To Customers

    I bought the exact Cisco modem I was leasing from Comcast about 3 months ago for $35 off eBay. It took about a hour to get Comcast to activate it (hung up on once, etc.) but once it was done and I stood in line for 45 mins to get a return receipt its been all good. 25/5 for $29.99 total (have to...

    Broadband In U.S. Still Slower, More Expensive Than Everywhere Else

    I pay $29.99/mo for 25/5 Mbit and I consider that fair (bringing my own modem) on Comcast (yes I talked them into a promo rate)... I would love 100Mbit+ but thats just ridiculous given what they want to charge when you know they have the available bandwidth... Its first world problems but I...

    Stop Car Thieves With A Simple SMS

    I've owned a 91' Toyota MR2 with no power assist... A little difficult at a standstill but it was manageable because it was designed for that... At speed it was no issue whatsoever... I've also driven an Infinity Q45 with the power steering disabled... I'm not Hercules but that son of a bitch...

    Consumer Reports Tests iPhone 6 Bending Versus Other Phones

    Working in the cellphone repair industry I have seen plenty of bent iPhone 5's (4's usually break at the antenna bands rather than bend the entire frame)... Most were under somewhat "extreme" conditions I admit but nonetheless I expect to see a far higher percentage of bent IP6/6+'s in the...

    Can someone PLEASE explain the terrible Origin game management system to me?!

    I just had the thought... Put it under "advanced settings" -> "import game from directory"... I'm a frigging scientist not a programmer and damn it would make things easier... Whatever EA lol

    Can someone PLEASE explain the terrible Origin game management system to me?!

    My biggest issue is that if the programmers cannot put auto detect logic in the program can they atleast put in a manual backup option? It can't be that hard and would save a TON of bandwidth for both parties that's all I'm saying...

    Can someone PLEASE explain the terrible Origin game management system to me?!

    TheNoid, Thanks for the reply. I did search for awhile but probably did not input the criteria necessary to get that forum response. Why they make it so complicated is beyond me. If I ever have to deal with this again I will follow your input and hopefully it works... Atleast steam allows you...

    Can someone PLEASE explain the terrible Origin game management system to me?!

    Ok folks, I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet, but I am fucking pulling my hair out at this EA Origin clusterfuck insanity. This is the horseshit I've been dealing with. I start out with a Corsair F40 with Win 7 install. Decide to try a new game (BF4 sale) and install Origin to my...

    Apple’s Fingerprint ID May Mean You Can’t ‘Take the Fifth’

    I just considered an interesting scenario. In a world where police love to look at phones if unlocked and "deemed necessary to inspect", it would be a lot easier for them to "compel" your finger to rest on the home button and unlock it rather than force you to divulge a passcode. I think its a...
