    Nvidia Skips Ampere at GTC 2019

    I wonder if this will run well on a 10 series card now that Ray Tracing has been opened up? I could definitely stand to revisit Quake with ray tracing.

    Vox Media Goes After YouTubers That Mocked The Verge PC Build Video

    Time to never go to TheVerge or watch any of their video's or any of the Vox media sites. (SB Nation, TheVerge, Vox, Polygon, Curbed, Eater, Recode.) Visiting or commenting on their content just gives them the traffic/views they can monetize.

    Orion Span Wants to Build a Space Hotel

    How can you expect them to build a hotel in space within 2 years if they can only afford a crappy web cam to make their client pitch video? Also, you'll note an even more crazy claim if you watch the linked video: They will also be the "first to provide purchasable land in space." Sounds legit.

    Those look like scorpions...not spiders.

    Harley Davidson Reveals the Pricing and Specs of Its "Livewire" Electric Motorcycles

    Not my cup of tea...but Harley better get this "privacy" angle just right as I can't imagine many Harley riders too eager to embrace anything that might be perceived at tracking them and/or their activities. Even if it is just rolling down to Starbucks. "Vehicle usage data (anonymized where...

    DiRT Rally 2.0 Announcement Trailer

    I think that Audi might need to be checked out. Backfires on WOT are probably not a good thing.

    Chevrolet to Boost Bolt EV Production by 20% to Meet Demand

    Can you point me to a source where this claim is supported? I'm genuinely interested as it seems counter intuitive....especially since my Aunt committed suicide by breathing her car exhaust in an enclosed garage.

    Microsoft Undersea Data Center - Project Natick

    From the projects homepage is a link to a NYTimes article (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/01/technology/microsoft-plumbs-oceans-depths-to-test-underwater-data-center.html?_r=0) In that article they partially address the question of environmental impact. They say: In the first experiment, the...

    Microsoft Undersea Data Center - Project Natick

    Seems a large part of the issue is connectivity and the speed of that connection. I don't see how they plan to connect this datacenter to the Internet aside from running some cables down the beach and out into the ocean. I'm genuinely interested to know how they might solve that particular...

    Tesla Shows Off New Roadster Prototype

    Thanks. I did skip around because I couldn't focus on the car for want of the, seeming to me, hysterical gasping.

    Tesla Shows Off New Roadster Prototype

    Who are these people in the crowd? The sycophantic behavior is just sickening....especially when its clear they aren't "car people".

    Member when....

    I've only been drunk with Kyle once and I walked out of the bar with a free Xbox. Moral of the story? Hang around for the freebie *then* slowly *back* away! :-)

    Microsoft Dropping Unlimited OneDrive Storage

    It does suck for those folks that were burning through terabytes of storage on an unlimited plan or for those maxing out their free storage. However, the hardship for the latter group maybe offset by a free year of Office365 that includes a terabyte of storage. The blog posts states: "If you...
