In the end, the issue will perhaps inevitably be that someone, somewhere, received a request from a lowly engineer to update or implement best practices, and they failed to understand and/or ignored it. Sadly, I've seen this sort of thing happen more and more frequently as the crusty old...

I currently work with 3x 43" 4k displays as monitors, side by side. I won't lie, it's a bit of a chore to have to twist slightly to the side either way to use them, but I need the screen real estate, and I tried a 32" 4k and the text was just too small (and as mentioned, I need the real...

Can I get in first for predicting a boilerplate copy of the NVidia NDA?

I tried to get in on the freebie weekend just to see if it was worth getting involved in, but the patcher hung, repeatedly over the three days, and I was never able to try it. Now once the weekend was over, I was able to patch just fine, which tells me the company wasn't ready, which tells me...

Eh, by the time you hit the 5th iteration, a not insignificant percentage of your customer base isn't likely to be quite as fired up about a new release. That isn't to say they might not pick it up a bit later, but the urgency isn't there. Not to say that waving the virtue signaling flag as...

Considering that the value of end users who are educated enough to understand and make this decision is a value unable to be expressed as a whole percentage, perhaps we ought to call this a miss.

$2,000 - $3,500 depending on preferences. Turn around time 3-8 weeks, again depending on manufacturer and preferences. According to the manufacturers I investigated, delivery is very discreet. I have been looking into this option for nearly a year - the dolls just keep getting better and...

And yet the hypocrites have no issue with women choosing from hundreds of dildos to stuff in their holes. Just another clear sign to give the whole thing a pass, and go your own way.

I have to wonder if the people proposing this have ever lived in a truly rural area. The cost to upgrade the infrastructure in an area with less than 1 residence every 5 miles is staggering. And while I can definitely get behind saying "Fuck the Exec's that are being paid millions of...

The only feature of the Surface Go that interests me is the inclusion of a USB-C port. I've held off on upgrading my surface pro, as I was waiting patiently for this inclusion. Hopefully the next generation of Surface Pro's will include USB C.

MoviePass recently changed their terms of service to disallow multiple viewings of the same film. Myself and a small group of friends (4 of us) all have movie pass, and go catch a film every Sunday morning. The recent change doesn't impact us much, but we might run into a scenario where theres...

GTX 1080 performance for 250? Sign me up. I have the money now and I'll buy today. My 970 is aging, and I need an upgrade, but currently I'm at 550 for a 1080, or 800 for a 1080ti. AMD could make a killing if they released a part with parity to a 1080 for 250. Hell, I'd buy two.

I assume that by carrying a smartphone (android in my case), that everywhere I take the phone, every search I use it to make, every call, every text etc is tracked, stored, and mined for advertising information. I'm ok with that, because the advantages of the smartphone outweigh the...

Keep hiring the less qualified candidates for diversities sake. As the company slowly fails, those of us who saw it coming will watch and giggle. Remember the Equifax diversity check box CTO? Good times, I know I laughed.

Hopefully, they intend for this to be a Mobile OS, as a significant portion of the workforce needs legacy/compatibility for their proprietary/rarely updated/poorly coded software to run.
