    A private equity firm is buying all the .org domains.

    I want to know the chain of events that caused ISOC (Internet Society), an entity that was entrusted by the orignal ICANN in 1992 to manage *.org to and was a trusted entity formed by founding engineers of the Internet (nee ARPAnet) - now apparently has a Board of Trustees who's only purpose was...

    Gamers Nexus response to TPU smear

    Kyle, I only half joke - but sometime before the memories fully leave - you really should write a book of memoirs and the "Rise and Fall of [H]ard|(ware) journalism - Staying [H]ard when society goes soft" or something dramatic. The wikipedia summary years later will be "how integrity became...

    NVIDIA GPU Generational Performance Part 1 @ [H]

    In regards to the jump from Maxwell to Pascal. It used to be a bit of a joke with Maxwell, just add +300mhz to the core and you would likely be able to stabilize that clock. With Pascal nVidia really pushed their TDP management to the next level, so you basically get that "extra" margin now on...

    Body Cam Study Shows No Effect on Police Use of Force or Citizen Complaints

    I don't mean to be a naysayer, but hopefully we'll get some more sources not affiliated with a city entity. To her credit, I'd be surprised too, so hopefully some other unaffiliated research groups can reinforce her findings. Or "worst" case, if they disagree then it would just show that DC...

    my monitor finally died

    THRESHIN, let us know what the part number is on the power board in your monitor is, just out of curiosity - at least so I can find a sane picture of one online. I have a few drinks in me at the moment, so excuse the excessive ramble.... First so the rest doesn't come out negative - judging...

    my monitor finally died

    Glad it was useful. 16:10 monitors these days aren't exactly cheap or plentiful either - hopefully yours will live again! Delicieuxz makes a great point that you may want to check the capacitors in there - after 10 years even the best ones start to pack it in - especially inside a hot running...

    my monitor finally died

    Are you handy with a soldering iron? Or know someone who is? Ya might be able to save 'er, depending on your symptoms it might just be 3 resistors need replaced (which apparently is a common failure mode for your monitor)... https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=15647 Heck, even if...

    DDR5 Runs in Rambus’ Labs

    LOL, my bad! You're right! I obviously should desire superior technology at even higher prices! And omg, I'm STILL LAUGHING at the through of "DRAM cartel" fanboys. Um... yea! I must be totally advocating about getting fucked in the ass for price fixing on DRAM. It was a hypothetical man. The...

    DDR5 Runs in Rambus’ Labs

    Dude... you should know better. I'd rather be under the thumb of the DRAM cartel than the alternate reality where the fully realized Intel/Rambus alliance succeeded. Also everyone shits on parallel, and sure nowdays it's trendy to serialize everything (now that we have these demux chips that...

    DDR5 Runs in Rambus’ Labs

    RAMBUS.... be afraid. Let me give a tl:dr to all those who didn't live those days - also why you get a drunk unlurk from an oldster. The core of why you should hate rambus - they were an ACTIVE part of the JEDEC committee when DDR was being developed. (side if you don't know what that was...

    The DVD Format Celebrates Its 20th Birthday

    DVD kinda was the last hurrah before the DRM became so blatant that even Jane/Joe Smoe were getting inconvenienced that their Blu-Ray player and (more critically) their new flat screen TV needed firmware updates to play the movies they had just brought home. There's also the point that only now...

    Technology Gone Wrong: Urine Detection Device

    I think you all underestimate the damage to the elevator having it constantly being sprayed with acidic urine constantly. Also you know, the stench and filth for everyone else to deal with - and especially the people who have to clean it up constantly. Also I'm pretty sure even if there were...

    Lasers to Replace Spark Plugs in Combustion Engines

    Forget the eco-friendly angle for a second - here's hoping Ford is looking at this so they can run more boost on their turbo cars with our ever crappier "regular" pump gas :D A laser setup would hopefully be less of a pain than high-output ignition, since it would be more of the "light...
