I'm on the fence on this one.... My biggest complaint of my Rift is the screen door effect. It's noticeable enough to be an issue when I am using a flight sim, and the resolution isn't quite enough to keep the gauges sharp enough when flying. Both this and the new HP headset announced...

That's a harness attached to the rider so she doesn't crash to the ground if the vehicle does.

I don't expect that actual forward movement and landing would be a significant challenge over what they showed. It's essentially a quad copter. I am curious on how fast it blows through fuel though. I can't imagine it having a long endurance.

If you are talking cable TV, you likely will need something that supports Cable Card. I have used the Hauppauge card in past, and it worked well. That said, I would more recommend the HD Homerun. The current version, if you can find it, has 3 tuners and doesn't require a computer to use...

No, It's down to the formulation. The difference is that Summer and Winter gas evaporate at different temperature ranges. Summer gas in cold temps causes the engine to be rough and hard to start. The trade off is, winter gas has slightly less energy, which is where that minor mileage...

I agree that it's no surprise that EV's take a major hit on range in cold weather. But, Internal Combustion Engines do not take a significant hit on mileage in the cold. Oil companies do change the formulation of gas in the winter vs summer that results different mileage (summer gas has more...

It's perfectly legal and normal to travel in the left lane in New England. We are even allowed to pass on the right side except for undivided two lane roads. You only need to keep right on freeways if you are going below the posted limit, though if you are only going the limit in the left...

I got the G900 a while back. I don't care for styling, but I've been very happy with it as a mouse. I liked it enough that I upgraded to the G903 w/ the PowerPad a few months ago. I absolutely love a wireless mouse that charges as I use it.

I'm using the DS918+ as well. I didn't bother with the RAM upgrade. The stock 4GB has been enough for my needs, I haven't really hit more than 40% usage. I am using the SSD Cache Option and I have populated 3 of the 4 bays with 8TB drives using the Synology Hybrid Raid. The 4th bay has an...

This should be an interesting roller coaster ride... I'm really just wondering how far they will go. For example: "pranks that cause children severe emotional distress" I'm all for not giving a platform to people that would truly abuse kids, but what constitutes severe emotional distress...

Man, I wish more people had common sense. They just don't. It's guys like this that ruin it for everyone. No one should be working THAT close to an active runway commercial or not. I take it, that it wasn't an airport with a tower? Being that close to a runway shouldn't have even allowed...

Oh... I mostly agree. While I don't have numbers, I would expect a portion of these businesses see a low cost drone as a cheap way to get the job done and don't even think about FAA regs. If they do, they probably take a, "but they can't mean me attitude" for what they are doing. On the...

That's not actually true. "Commercial drone operators" is a VERY broad term. It covers anything from large industrial uses to a real-estate agent using a DJI spark to capture some areal photos of a house they are selling. For regulatory purposes, any drone used "in furtherance of a business"...

I have no idea if you are still interested in info, but.... The $100 price range is tough. You're not going to find anything advanced for that price. Your best choice would probably be the Tellos...

The same is virtually true for VR (pun intended :P ) The vast majority of what people use computers for would not benefit from VR. Why would you watch sitcoms, or game shows, or news etc in VR? Why would you work on an office app, surf the web, check email or make posts on social media in VR...
