I'm pretty sure the gasoline currently in cars is much more explosive than the batteries inside electric cars. I'm also fairly certain plenty of gas cars have spontaneously combusted because of poor craftsmanship or poor maintenance. No matter how you store energy there is usually a way for it...

Some buillshit right there. Kind of glad my windows media server just died. Perfect opportunity to convert it to linux. I'll never be completely free of windows because my gaming rigs all use it, but at least my main work computer is a mac. I know there is a lot of hate on this board...

Doesn't matter that UHD bluray quality can be better than 4k netflix, because most people won't be able to tell the difference at reasonable viewing distances. Than of course you have the fact that nobody wants to deal with disc storage or maintenance. They want to click a button to change a...

Or just keep calling it auto-pilot and let the idiot drivers take responsibility for their own dumbassness. Tesla can call their tech whatever they damn well please as long as it's not copywrited/trademarked by another company. It's also not their responsibility to teach basic comprehension...

I think that's only part of it. If I think about all the things I use my computer for it becomes less and less every year. Work, and some occasional gaming. Honestly if they had a console w/ same games as on PC w/ comparable perf I would drop my pc for everything but work. At the end of the...

Thank you netflix for removing movies and focusing on original content and tv shows. There are plenty of other outlets for movies. The original shows on netflix are right up there with HBO's original content. It makes perfect sense for netflix to get it's watchers hooked on series which...

One day we'll get away from gender or racial biases but until they get rid of bull shit quotas and affirmative action and all the other nonsense, it's just going to cause more of this kind of stuff. I really hope verizon backs out and yahoo crumbles. They really having nothing to offer anymore.

Hmm... This looks pretty interesting actually. The h265 performance looks pretty freaking awesome. Might be finally worth upgrading my plex transcode box from ivybridge to kabylake. It should be able to handle all the 4k transcodes and also I could convert all my h264 movies to h265 and save...

Don't care too much about the immediate Apple case, but I do worry about the precedent this sets. I think that is the bigger issue here. You cannot go back in time and change the law and retroactively tax somebody. If you do that then a lot of companies are next up. This is a big reason why...

Prices look worse to me. I already had the 30gb plan for $130/month + $15/line. I vaguely remember being on the 15gb plan and them doubling the data for free at some point in time. Either way, these prices aren't anything stellar. If I switched I would actually have to pay $20/month for...

Shareholders own Apple, not Tim Cook or any employee. So while Apple is making tons of money, investors/shareholders are the one who the company is accountable to. This isn't a non profit company and people invest in it to make a profit, not to help the less fortunate. Go in and start...

Don't know enough about the feature as I don't have a tesla, but if it can't truly change lanes to avoid non moving objects?!?! Than wtf is it for. My adaptive cruise control is more intelligent than that. It would at least hit the brakes and just sit there instead bouncing off the car or...

Love my hybrid cooler on my titan-x. Sure it's a simple design but it works. I only hit power related throttling never thermal and never get over 50c. Stock coolers on nvidia cards are like vacuum cleaners too me. Way too damn loud. The hybrid cooler never gets audible over the rest of my...

Come on guys it's the next pokemon go. I'll call it "Poke the Ho" or something :). In all seriousness, the idea was my horrible attempt at sarcasm which apparently didn't go over well.

That just gave me a great idea for a Beer Goggles AR app. Do face detection and then replace it with your favorite super model/actress/porn star's face during sex. Short term solution would nix the goggles and use a smart phone ala pokemon go. Anybody want to fund the development :)...

Lamborghini is more versatile than I thought. It works as a truck to tow trailers, it works as a boat in a pinch (below). I think I need to get me one..

Yep, I'm totally underwhelmed right now.

Dang, too bad I already jumped on the $350 xbox elite deal a few weeks back (console + extra controller + forza 2). After using the elite controller for a couple weeks now I think I would have been perfectly happy with the std controller. Can't believe this thing is $150 normally... Maybe...

I know I'm buying a scorpio. Went ahead and just bought an xbox one elite system to start building a small library of xbox games. Been on ps4 since launch but I think I'll jump back to xbox since all my friends are there. However, I only play games on my pc w/ a controller. Too damn old and...

Oh fuck that's funny. It's like they are asleep at the wheel over there. You have validation teams that should pickup this spec violation immediately. Unless of course they aren't checking or they couldn't fix it in time and some idiot project manager decided to push it through regardless.

I own a titan-x. Don't regret it one bit. First off the benchmarks show a stock titan-x. Titan-x is a very good overclocker especially when under water. So can't really compare to the stock as the graphs say. Now of course more importantly is I've had a titan-x since March of 2015...

Can't blame them. Who in the hell would own AMD at this point? They are circling the drain on all fronts. Hopefully they can turn it around. However, I think with the recent announcements about the new consoles might significantly reduce the volume of dedicated GPUs going forward. If they...

Unfortunately everything thinks they drive better than everybody else. So that's never going to happen. Hopefully they can remove the human element from driving in the next 20years. Anybody who "enjoys" driving and take it to a race track or special roads.

Yeah I guess we are all old farts when we don't keep up with all the fancy social tools. Oh well I'll have to suffer through life with my titan-x and rift. My sli 1080 rig and vive will have to wait...

TWC doesn't offer a 200mbps service in Austin. It's actually 320mbps down. Either way it's been pretty reliable for me. Peak times it slows down in the low 200's but cable is a shared resource. So no surprises. Upload seems to be pretty steady in the 25mbps range. I have AT&T fiber...

I'm a recovering wow addict. I've been clean for over 5 years... In all seriousness I'm shocked people are still playing this. While I was addicted during vanilla (8+hr/day), I quit after about a year and just barely tried out buring crusade and cataclysm later. Magic was gone, nothing to be...

Numbers look pretty bad but if their power is significantly less than nvidia or their cost is less than I think they have a viable product. If it's more power hungry low performance and parity on price they are screwed. Nice to see my 1year+ old titan-x still holding strong :).

No other app whoops the llama's ass quite like winamp.

I think speedtest.net just died.. It has way too much advertising on it.

Search engine and advertising. They don't make jack squat on the rest of their businesses. Sure they are good products, but from a profit perspective they are worthless. Anyways, as an apple stock holder I don't like to see them down, but I'll just keep collecting my dividend and not panic...

Just got my rift yesterday evening. Had a few hours with it. It's definitely a mixed bag. Not surprising as it's first gen. Project cars is all kinds of awesome with a steering wheel + pedal setup. i'm going to see if I can further tweak gfx settings though as I just used it as is. I felt...

So far it has been the shining point of my 3hr rift experience last night: Here is my review from another forum. I'm pretty damn wordy for only having 3hrs with it :). Got my rift last night. Had about 3hrs fiddling with it. Here are my first impressions. First hour or so I was HIGHLY...

I was so on the oculus bandwagon until the last week or so. I just got charged for my vive I ordered April 1st. You can argue that I still don't know when it ships, but I pre-ordered my rift in under 7m after pre-orders opened. I have nothing but a 5/2-5/15 window from them. So i've run out...

I got at&t fiber to my house, but I'm sticking with timewarner (charter) for now because it's 320mbps and no cap. If AT&T dropped their cap and didn't packet inspect everything I would switch over, but I do not care for their business practices. Also who in the hell can see benefits in 1gbps...

Well at least we know how they are going to fulfill their diversity agenda (The powerful woman behind Intel’s new $300 million diversity initiative). Get ready White and Asian males, you will be on the chopping block. Minorities and females should be 100% safe though...

You could fairly easily recreate temperature and things like wind with current tech. Smell is something much more difficult and haptic feedback has more work to do to replace real touch. This is first gen. My comment was about where it could go. Also many people do not have the means to go...

Looks pretty cool. Haters are just people who are stuck in their ways. Not saying their ways are wrong but the future is more social interaction online and less in real life. Think about all the time you waste getting somewhere. Flying in a plane, driving in traffic, etc. If you can instant...

Really this is all that matters. Comfort of the CV1 >>> Vive. Vive needs a rigid head strap with integrated headphones. Watch the tested comparison. Everybody is all gaga about the vive experience but they want it on the rift. Long term I think either product is a gamble in terms of...

But I thought these were too expensive for people to buy and it was going to flop hard? Oh yeah that's right there are plenty of people that can afford them. Apparently too many. That being said oculus did F this launch bad. Their communication has been very poor. I believe they have done...

Got my shipping soon email. I'm *26* though and was originally slated to be march. I have my doubts based on the complete lack of shipping notifications for anybody but the kickstarter backers. Maybe they'll have a mad rush over the next few days and blow through 23-26 but if each one is a...
