That's much more technical answer than I expected. Shows how complex is this technology really. So, all manufacturers have some methods of protecting data-at-rest, but the trade-offs are different depending on method used. Thank you Maxx for this comprehensive answer.

Thanks Maxx. I've got one MX500 because of it's power loss tech. I've seen Crucial/Micron advertise power loss protection for data at rest, but many other manufacturers provide little to none information regarding this issue for their SSD products. For 4TB and larger SSDs cheaper brands look...

Is data at rest at risk when ungraceful shutdown happens due to power loss with current consumer SSDs? I remember it was an issue in the early days of SSDs, when unexpected power loss could corrupt data at rest. Then some companies wrote firmwares that could handle this, but since there are...

Nice! I didn't know that. To be fair, MS should have something like this in implemented in Windows natively.

Meanwhile, you still can't stream games from your Windows PC to any device on the local network, where latency is significantly lower then for any over-the-internet streaming service.

They should make an option to manually set DPI settings separately for each monitor. In Windows 8.1 you can only set general scaling for all monitors and then it tries to automatically scale DPI for each monitor depending on monitor resolution ... but this often produces poor results as it...

Logic behind Metro interface isn't actually that bad. Before average Joe and power users both used the same interface - the desktop. That meant limiting, cutting out advanced features from desktop so that average Joe could use it. But now separation has been made. Average Joe gets Metro (for...

In the past 3 years among other new games came out that: - run worse that Crysis and had inferior graphics or - had better graphics and run far worse than Crysis I am not aware of any game that has better or equal graphics complexity as Crysis and runs better.

I for one prefer good linear games that take you on a ride. Exploring in games is overrated. You're waste your time doing nothing but walking around and maybe, maybe if you are lucky, somethings happens. I had to force myself to play Oblivion, hopping to get to a point where the game gets...

No, it is copyright violation (in context discussed here). For example cable television came to be by distributing someone else's content.

Getting reliable and solid information on TV tuners is really hard :(

That Antec case sure does look good. Reviewer on silentpcreview said that PSU fan could be a little quieter, but I can replace fan or whole PSU afterwards, if I will find it too loud. I found something interesting here and here about TV tuners! Does this holds true for any product from any...

Thanks for that list!

Europe, Slovenia. Standard used here is (actually is going to be from 1st December) DVB, with AVC (h264) video and AAC audio. For the time being I will be using terrestrial TV only, since most of stuff is played on it eventually (most of good stuff anyway). But I will need good digital...
