    Consumer Reports: Don't Buy a Microsoft Surface Laptop or Tablet

    I had a Surface 3. It was a nightmare to deal with. It often froze, had poor wifi, and pretty abysmal battery life. I think Consumer Reports just calls it like it is.

    Dell Poweredge T30 CPU upgrade

    I got a Dell Poweredge T30 server for free off a friend that was doing a file server but decided against it. It came with a paltry 4 gigs of RAM, so I upgraded it to 16gb of ECC. My question is regarding the CPU, it ships with a Pentium G4400. The server has a C236 chipset. My local PC shop has...

    SMR drive for photography?

    Hi, I just purchased a new camera that produces staggeringly large files (60-70 megs per file). I was tempted to buy two Seagate 8tb SMR drives for storing my photography on. Would two of these drives in a RAID 1 setting be ok, or am I putting them under stress they are not meant for? I was...

    New Surface 3 starting at $499

    I'm pretty happy with mine so far. It's pretty heavy compared to my iPad Air, but far more capable. Storage does seem very slow though, going eMMC was a fatal mistake. Photoshop CS6 loads in about 16 seconds, while on my SSD Y510P it loads nearly instantly. The Surface makes a cool toy but I...

    Quick but crazyish question: painting cables?

    Acrylic paint is probably going to crack with time since you have to bend the cables. Only thing I can think of suggesting is Plasti-Dip which is pretty flexible.

    GTX 970 SLI, overkill for 1440p?

    Sig rig is what I will be upgrading. I am not sure if two of these cards will be overkill for my computer, or if I should just go for one 980 and overclock it.

    Can't calibrate TV gamma with Windows 8 calibration

    I don't see any calibration options in nVidia CP. Am I missing something? I googled it but it says its a removed feature. Only calibration I see is for video files.

    Can't calibrate TV gamma with Windows 8 calibration

    I just bought a 55 inch Seiki (SE55GY19) TV to play games on with my computer. When I try to enter the Windows calibration tool in the control panel, I get stuck. As I adjust the gamma I see it changing for a second and then the TV blinks on and off and it goes back to what it was before. Same...

    Just ordered an iPad Air

    You are going to notice a huge difference in the iPad Air vs the iPad 2. It's the best tablet on the market hands down, I am sure you will enjoy it immensely.

    Mantle pushes FX-8350 to beyond i7-4960X performance.

    Mantle is like 3dfx Glide. Except at least Glide was better than D3D at one point. Mantle was a dead duck from the star;, AMD needs to make hardware that's actually relevant instead of trying cheap vendor lock-in tricks.
