    'NBA 2K21' Will Cost $70 USD for PS5 and Xbox Series X. Is this the new normal?

    I would be fine paying $70, $80, even $100 for a good complete game, but that's not what these companies are going to offer. Most AAA games already don't cost $60, that's just become the entry price, more akin to a demo, while the complete experience is locked behind hundreds, if not thousands...

    "Captain Marvel" '90s-Style Website Will Have You Nostalgic for Dial-Up

    Obviously, dialup sucked as a technology, but I do miss the decentralized, decommercialized, and pre social media internet. Even a site like [H] is a relic of the past

    The Grand Tour Game Is Developed with New Season 3 Content Released Weekly

    I'm surprised people still remember that game

    Steam Hates Windows XP and Vista

    That's the danger of relying on third party software to run games - even if the games still run fine, you can be locked out of them by updates to the third party software that you might not even want Edit: Many older games don't work well or at all on newer windows, so I hope valve won't just...

    Der8auer and CaseKing Show Off Closed Loop Direct Die Phase-Shift Cooler

    Fair enough, I see how it can be appealing for the AIO crowd, but I'd love to see a modern Vapochill for those who just chase maximum performance

    Der8auer and CaseKing Show Off Closed Loop Direct Die Phase-Shift Cooler

    When I saw "Phase-Shift Cooler", I thought it was going to be sub-ambient phase change like the old Vapochill units. Performance remains to be seen but I'd be surprised if this outperforms a good custom water loop.

    How Wide is too Wide?

    Some games (mostly strategy games in my experience) do seem to work really well with extra vertical space. It's why I've been unable to move from 16:10, although I do think 5:4 is a little too narrow. Ideal is from 16:10 to 4:3

    How Wide is too Wide?

    That's more of a problem with poorly designed games than a problem with monitors; many games do not limit your FOV in that way, and for the ones that do, you can just run a wide and short letterboxed resolution, while with ultrawides, you never get the benefits of height in any application.

    Tesla Owner Who Turned On Autopilot Then Sat in Passenger Seat Banned from Driving

    It's not a dumb name choice, it's a very deliberate (and evil) marketing one using the difference between the actual definition of autopilot and the public understanding of autopilot. Tesla knows that when the average person hears "autopilot", they think it fully drives itself, as most people...

    StatCounter: Windows 10 Still Hasn’t Overtaken Windows 7

    I don't doubt that Windows 10 will overtake Windows 7 in the near future, but unless Microsoft significantly changes course, there will be a large minority of people that just refuse to get off of Windows 7 - large enough that software devs won't be able to ignore Windows 7 support. Killing...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    I was hoping for something like on CRT projectors and professional displays where it will simply tell you how many hours are on the tubes. I don't have a colorimeter, but I might be willing to invest in one. Would the same one also work for other types of displays (plasma)? I found the...

    ASUS ROG R9 290X MATRIX Platinum Video Card Review @ [H]

    Seems that the mediocre cooler really limits this card. It's strange that ASUS would go for a two slot cooler on a flagship card designed to overvolt the notoriously hot Hawaii GPU, when they went with a nice three slot cooler for the Matrix 7970. It seems that only MSI took cooling seriously on...

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    I just bought a supposedly unused FW900. Cosmetically, it looks the part, but is there any way to verify this (check tube hours)?
