    AORUS FO48U 48" 4K OLED 3840x2160 120Hz, PC MONITOR $799.99

    DP and USB-C Ideal monitor would be a 38" 3840x1600 curved OLED. Since that doesn't exist other competition is 48" C1 $100 more, 42" C2, or 34" AW3423DW (curved!), both $500 more than this.

    Hardware Unboxed puts an LG OLED TV through their monitor tests. RTINGS shows up in the comments.

    As I recall there were still RAMDAC related tradeoffs of resolution/color depth and refresh rate. CRT flicker was considerably worse than PWM flicker in terms of eye strain.

    Thin/light laptop, XPS 13 competitors?

    Update: I picked up a huawei Matebook X 13"! At least temporarily... https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1367127-REG/huawei_watt_w19a_i7_7500u_8gb_512_ssd_windows.html I love the physical attributes, 0.5" thick, 2.3lbs, 13" 2160x1440 (the BH page is just wrong on the 2560x1440 res) thin...

    JACKPOT!

    Atlantic Rim? I'm sure if they outfit it with wind and tidal-power generators it would practically pay for itself...

    Thin/light laptop, XPS 13 competitors?

    Been a Surface user for a number of years now. When they first came out the form factor was amazing compared to clamshell laptops of the day. But I'm sick of the floppy Surface Pro keyboard losing connection and having to be fiddled with to reconnect, and being unable to sit it on my lap without...

    Android Creator Andy Rubin’s Essential Phone Looks Stunning and Will Cost $699

    Fast charge and a non-serviceable battery? So it'll be toast in 12 months. Not shelling out $700 for a disposable phone. Batteries are a wear item, I wouldn't buy a car with non-serviceable tires, and I won't buy a phone with a non-serviceable battery.

    Musk Calls Himself an "Idiot" for Complicating Model X Configurations

    I think the overall vehicle shape is more like a Pontiac Aztek than a Juke. The Juke would have decent lines if they nixed the oddly protruding light fixtures. The X is an aztek without the pontiac plastic cladding and bigger wheels.

    New Surface Pro from MS

    Still $1300 to get 8GB of RAM in 2017. Hard pass. Which is really unfortunate, as I'm a huge fan of the 3:2 aspect ratio screen. 16:9 gets way too short with a taskbar and menu bar. Any other tall aspect ratio ultraportables to check out? My SP3 is showing it's age.

    Father, Son Caught By Surprise As Drone Shot Out Of Sky

    Several hundred feet (200'-300') up? You're not going to hear a phantom 3/4 to the point that it would be annoying. With a mild wind or typical wildlife, you're not going to hear it at all. Now, no one should fly 'near you in your yard', but even if they did why do you think shooting is an...

    Hidden Camera Stunt Highlights The Absurdness Of Geo-Blocking

    This is exactly what an importer does though, buys or produces a good in a place with lower costs of production then sells it in a place where they can realize a profit. I see absolutely no line of reasoning where being your own digital importer could be frowned upon in any moral sense. This...

    White House Declines To Support Encryption Legislation

    More likely it'll be slipped into some totally unrelated bill as a rider. SOPA/CISPA/CISA anyone? Fought against it multiple times only to have it back-doored in a must-pass budget bill.
