I'm pretty sure the gasoline currently in cars is much more explosive than the batteries inside electric cars. I'm also fairly certain plenty of gas cars have spontaneously combusted because of poor craftsmanship or poor maintenance. No matter how you store energy there is usually a way for it...

Some buillshit right there. Kind of glad my windows media server just died. Perfect opportunity to convert it to linux. I'll never be completely free of windows because my gaming rigs all use it, but at least my main work computer is a mac. I know there is a lot of hate on this board...

Doesn't matter that UHD bluray quality can be better than 4k netflix, because most people won't be able to tell the difference at reasonable viewing distances. Than of course you have the fact that nobody wants to deal with disc storage or maintenance. They want to click a button to change a...

Or just keep calling it auto-pilot and let the idiot drivers take responsibility for their own dumbassness. Tesla can call their tech whatever they damn well please as long as it's not copywrited/trademarked by another company. It's also not their responsibility to teach basic comprehension...

I think that's only part of it. If I think about all the things I use my computer for it becomes less and less every year. Work, and some occasional gaming. Honestly if they had a console w/ same games as on PC w/ comparable perf I would drop my pc for everything but work. At the end of the...

Thank you netflix for removing movies and focusing on original content and tv shows. There are plenty of other outlets for movies. The original shows on netflix are right up there with HBO's original content. It makes perfect sense for netflix to get it's watchers hooked on series which...

One day we'll get away from gender or racial biases but until they get rid of bull shit quotas and affirmative action and all the other nonsense, it's just going to cause more of this kind of stuff. I really hope verizon backs out and yahoo crumbles. They really having nothing to offer anymore.

Hmm... This looks pretty interesting actually. The h265 performance looks pretty freaking awesome. Might be finally worth upgrading my plex transcode box from ivybridge to kabylake. It should be able to handle all the 4k transcodes and also I could convert all my h264 movies to h265 and save...

Don't care too much about the immediate Apple case, but I do worry about the precedent this sets. I think that is the bigger issue here. You cannot go back in time and change the law and retroactively tax somebody. If you do that then a lot of companies are next up. This is a big reason why...

Prices look worse to me. I already had the 30gb plan for $130/month + $15/line. I vaguely remember being on the 15gb plan and them doubling the data for free at some point in time. Either way, these prices aren't anything stellar. If I switched I would actually have to pay $20/month for...

Shareholders own Apple, not Tim Cook or any employee. So while Apple is making tons of money, investors/shareholders are the one who the company is accountable to. This isn't a non profit company and people invest in it to make a profit, not to help the less fortunate. Go in and start...

Don't know enough about the feature as I don't have a tesla, but if it can't truly change lanes to avoid non moving objects?!?! Than wtf is it for. My adaptive cruise control is more intelligent than that. It would at least hit the brakes and just sit there instead bouncing off the car or...

Love my hybrid cooler on my titan-x. Sure it's a simple design but it works. I only hit power related throttling never thermal and never get over 50c. Stock coolers on nvidia cards are like vacuum cleaners too me. Way too damn loud. The hybrid cooler never gets audible over the rest of my...

Come on guys it's the next pokemon go. I'll call it "Poke the Ho" or something :). In all seriousness, the idea was my horrible attempt at sarcasm which apparently didn't go over well.

That just gave me a great idea for a Beer Goggles AR app. Do face detection and then replace it with your favorite super model/actress/porn star's face during sex. Short term solution would nix the goggles and use a smart phone ala pokemon go. Anybody want to fund the development :)...
