• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Sound Blaster Z Optical to speaker issue/question

    I use motherboard optical out to Behringer MS20s. I miss most of the Windows sounds, too. It seems that there is a ~1 second initialization for all sounds that go over optical to the speakers. Most windows sounds are less than 1 second, so they are missed entirely. If you "spam" a windows...

    Media Streaming Devices

    One caveat on WDTV Live (gen3 w/ Netflix support) - it will take over your network. It regularly forces master browser votes and tries to take it away from other devices. Anytime I reboot my server I have to reboot the WDTV live afterwards to pass master browser back to the server. If the...

    Statement of Microsoft Corporation on Customer Privacy

    I actually think it is better to make the data available to everyone than only to the government. Then at least you can use big data to fight back if big government uses it to frame you for something. In the bigger picture, this is the government insight/oversight/obtrusiveness extension of the...

    Statement of Microsoft Corporation on Customer Privacy

    It is never stupid to worry about what power the government is taking and how it could be abused. Because at some point it will be.

    AMD Fires Rick Bergman Under Cloud of Mystery

    I looked at NVidia's numbers and grabbed $151.6 as revenue, not profit. I stand corrected.

    AMD Fires Rick Bergman Under Cloud of Mystery

    AMD revenue vs NVidia? You realize AMD's is an order of magnitude larger than the NVidia's, right? Of course, Intel's is an order of magnitude larger than that...

    AMD Fires Rick Bergman Under Cloud of Mystery

    I don't agree with AMD and dark days in the current economy. AMD has excellent products in the lower cost laptop and netbook space, which is a growing segment (certainly far faster than our enthusiast desktops). Llano A4 systems make excellent general-use laptops and can serve as desktop...

    AMD Fires Rick Bergman Under Cloud of Mystery

    Here's my take (pure speculation): 1. New CEO comes in and needs to show he means business. Easiest way to do this is firing someone. 2. At high-level, there are two strong candidates to pin blame on and dismiss. One is your head of sales and/or marketing (depending on the company). The...

    Netflix: Americans Are Somewhat Self-Absorbed

    Having lived in Europe and the US, I find the statement to be true based on my experience. However, I don't think it is an intentional choice by Americans. In Europe, you can't help having to deal with people with different languages and customs than you on a regular basis (in Belgium, it was...

    Net Neutrality Comes Back to Haunt Google

    What does search neutrality even mean? Best I can tell, it means: "Give me a search result that is completely neutral from my search topic" In other words, give me a webpage chose at random! How is that useful to anyone? I want to use Google, or Yahoo, or Bing, or any other search...
