    New landline alert issued to UK homes as switch off deadline gets closer

    I haven't had a landline in well over a decade. Everything connects via either mobile or coax. In fact, our provider is continuing to beef up coax infrastructure and boost speed. Don't see that going away any time soon. As for land lines, no reason to have one nowadays.

    For those with large and heavy GPUs, do you use an anti-sag bracket?

    Yep. My 4090 came with one. Without one, it feels like the GPU will break the PCIe slot.

    The Subscription Economy in America is Collapsing...

    It's funny. Those of us millennials that used to complain about the first GTX Titan costing $1000 are now the ones paying $2k-5k for a GPU because we can. Amazing how having a career changes your perspective. :LOL:

    Valve was founded 30 years ago today — changed PC gaming forever with Half-Life, then Steam

    GabeN is the GOAT of PC gaming. Without him, what we know today does not exist.

    Anthropic’s Mythos AI used social engineering to target real people

    It's almost as if an AI, who acts like a human, is a bad thing... who would have guessed?

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    Same with my first GPU - Geforce 2 MX 400 64MB PCI. I used to play a game called "Emperor: Battle for Dune". It needed a 3D accelerator to work. Intel Integrated Graphics was plenty to run it, but not well. You could not run it on high as the framerates were way too low. I got this idea that...

    What exactly happened to 3dfx??

    If true, that would make them primary architects of our current GPU world. Crazy stuff. 3dfx lives on vicariously through Nvidia.

    Meta becomes latest firm to say its AI hacked another company

    I have an RTX 4090. I have a feeling that, given the right parameters and model, it could hack a network. It's crazy the amount of compute power we have at our fingertips.

    Upscaling and Frame Generation Usage Poll

    I’ve found that DLSS 4.5 is so good now that I play most games using 4K w/ Performance upscaling. I use Frame Gen 2x in single-player games. In multiplayer, Frame Gen is turned off.

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    At one point, I would have said the Radeon HD 5870 would have been my favorite GPU of all time. First DX11 GPU and it caught Nvidia completely off guard. It was uncontested for 6 months until Nvidia released “Fermi” which turned out to be the GPU griddle because of how hot and power hungry it...

    Apple intros MacBook Neo: $599 with an iPhone chip

    Hard to argue with a $600 Mac that is better built, has better speakers, and a better screen than any of its competitors. Apple is really flexing on the market.

    Microsoft CEO warns that companies embracing AI could drive themselves out of business

    Funny how the only people telling us to use AI are executives that stand to profit from our use of AI.

    Intel Readies Two 22-Core "Nova Lake-S" SKUs with 108 MB bLLC Cache for Gaming

    At 4K, chances are you will be GPU limited before you are CPU limited. If that’s what you’re after, look at GPU performance.

    Intel Readies Two 22-Core "Nova Lake-S" SKUs with 108 MB bLLC Cache for Gaming

    1080p/720p tells CPU performance. 4K tells GPU performance. How people don't understand this in 2026 is astonishing.

    Apple sues OpenAI accusing them of theft of trade secrets and other items.

    I remember when Apple used to sue Google over every little thing. I thought it was petty. After seeing where AI is going... I'm on Apple's side on this one.
