    Shadow of the Tomb Raider Is Getting Review Bombed on Steam Because It's on Sale

    I learned a decade or so ago, that you don't buy games on Steam until they're on sale. And that they ALWAYS have a sale. If you don't wanna wait, that's on you. Because you know they're gonna have a sale! Also, what someone else said earlier. Still not cheap enough for me.

    Hot Wheels and GoPro Team Up

    This is kinda funny, but I lost interest almost as quickly as the kid. He disappears as the adults take over, and they try to call him back, but he clearly knows better.

    Why is there an Onion in the logo?

    New Windows 10 Consumer SKU Roadmap Revealed

    I'm shocked at how much hate there is for MS selling to OEMs. I can't even believe there are that many OEMs responding to this thread. Most of the replies I've seen were from end users and the article doesn't say anything about them!

    Silicon Valley’s Next Big Idea: Untreated Drinking Water

    I've been drinking well water, unfiltered and untreated, for a couple decades. It's never caused a problem. I do live in a rural area, though. If I try the town water, it makes me ill. Literally. The chlorine they add does it to me every time. I'll take my water every day of the week. Oh...

    The iPhone X’s Face ID Can’t Approve Family Purchases, and No One Knows Why

    Isn't this becuase 10 year old kid opened up his mom's locked phone with his face? Not very secure. https://hardforum.com/threads/watch-a-10-year-olds-face-unlock-his-moms-iphone-x.1948150/

    XSPC RX480 Build with Koolance Drybreak Fittings

    They're similar to the couplings used in trucks for hydraulics. Some of them have been around for years. You didn't want to spill hydraulic fluid anywhere, so they've been pretty good. I think I've also seen them as part of brine systems on plow trucks, but I'm not certain about that. Been a...

    Most Consumer ISPs are Still Dreadful 2017 Edition

    I dunno why they bother with this type of survey. Most areas are served by a monopoly. It's not like we can choose to change our provider. Unless, of course, you'd like to go back to dial-up.

    Free Shipping Is A Lie

    Prices in grocery stores factor in two things that most people forget about because they think they're so minor. Spoilage and Theft. They even have a nice nifty term for it. It varies by store, and location, but for one of the stores I worked for, the % was huge. Around 40% (of the price of...

    Six Months With The Steam Controller

    I'm not sure what this configuration that everyone's talking about. I just loaded up a game I never played yesterday (just bought it in the Steam sale) and while the game was going, decided to use my controller. So I turned it on, and started playing. It worked just fine. Also, I found using...

    Green Man Gaming Responds To Grey Market Key Allegations

    I've been buying from them for a few years or so, too. The only problem I've ever had with the site was logging in one day. I used their CS links and straightened that out in a few hours. No complaints.

    Star Wars Takes Over Disneyland’s Tomorrowland

    Thanks for pointing this out. It was what I was about to do. Not sure why they wanna change a basic premise like this.

    All Versions Of Windows Affected By Critical Security Flaw

    I had my setting set to check for updates, but I'd install and download. I came home one day to find my computer rebooted, from sleeping, and having installed a bunch of updates I didn't ask it to. I now have Win10 upgrade waiting for me even though I have been declining those updates and...

    EU Court To Decide If Streaming Pirated Movies Is Legal

    It seems to me that no one is stupid enough to force this issue, so the company that made the box MUST be funded by an anti-piracy group so they could get the issue forced! And if it, by some miracle turns out to be legal, they can get their government hirelings to pass laws making it totally...

    If You Could See All The Asteroids Around Us

    Another Scott Manley video! He did a whole bunch of Kerbal Space Program videos and he really helped quite a lot there, too. I could use the 360 here on HF, but when I went to YouTube, I couldn't.
