    Toyota Has a Curious Justification for Not Selling Any EVs

    All of this assumes that renewable energy can power our electrical grid. But it can't directly. You can't take wind power and solar power, which only work at random times or half the time, and power an electric grid normally. You have to have some way of storing that power, and whatever...

    Microsoft Puts $500 Million Towards Affordable Seattle Area Housing

    The solution to expensive housing in desirable cities like Seattle is simple. Build lots of tiny apartments. If a 700 square foot apartment is renting for $2000, you can rent out 150 square foot apartments quite cheaply.

    Scarlett Johansson Can't Stop the Internet from Pasting Her Face on Porn

    I have some good news for Scarlett Johansson. She's 34 years old, which means in a mere 6 years or so, everyone will stop pasting her face onto porn pictures and videos.

    Steam VR Usage Almost Doubled in 2018

    3D televisions were always a stupid idea. The vast majority of what people watch on tv would not benefit from 3D. Why would you want to watch sitcoms or game shows or the news or romantic comedies or soap operas or talk shows in 3D?

    CVAA Regulations Affecting Multiplayer Chat Just Went Into Effect

    Forcing game makers to make their controls configurable is a good idea, as it's very easy for anyone to do and everyone should always do it anyway. Forcing game makers to redesign an entire game so that blind people can somehow play Grand Theft Auto would be totally ridiculous.

    The State of VR in 2018

    Computer technology gets better, computer technology gets cheaper. Exponentially. Within a few years, you'll be able to buy a very powerful VR headset which will run off whatever the latest playstation or xbox consoles are, and it will be wireless. You'll also have standalone powerful...

    The State of VR in 2018

    VR is the future of gaming, and of movies, and many other things. There's an intensity to VR that you can't get any other way. You don't watch a movie, you're in the movie. You don't watch a game screen from across the room, you're in the game. Everyone is going to want this, it's just going...

    Facebook Reality Labs Unveils Its DeepFocus AI Rendering System

    I don't think people want the stuff they're not directly focused on to be blurry. I thought the point was to save processing power by only having a small portion of the display be in hi res.

    FCC Panel Suggests Taxing Business Internet Usage to Pay for Rural Broadband

    Dragon Age: Dread Wolf Director Says Game Will Be Political, Celebrate Diversity

    Is there anything wrong with this build?

    Thanks for the advice. I've never had a SSD. I should read up on them and see what I think. They're obviously not all that expensive. And yeah, I know my GPU is older now. I will definitely be upgrading that before too long, once I get around to deciding if I really want to get into VR...

    Is there anything wrong with this build?

    It's been 10 years since I've built a PC from scratch, so I might be a bit out of the loop. I was surprised, for example, to find out that cases no longer have drive bays for DVD drives. Is anything terribly wrong here or incompatible? I'm going to keep my current R9 270 graphics card until...

    I have a 10 year old Liam Li case. I'm planning on building a new pc with it. I don't need watercooling or anything like that, I won't be overclocking it. Is my old case likely still fine to use? My main concern is the front panel connectors. The last time I put a motherboard in, 3 years...

    Without Drugs, What's The Point of Bitcoin?

    You get what you pay for. Companies are willing to pay credit card processing fees because this allows everyone involved to transfer money quickly, easily and securely. If Bitcoin were widely used, everyone would keep their bitcoins in bank accounts, where they'd be safe, and they'd use...

    Generic non-pnp monitor

    About half the time when I reboot my computer, or when the monitor has been off for a while, Windows 8.1 apparently loses the monitor, and sees it as a "generic non-pnp monitor". (It's a Vizio 42" hdtv which I'm using as a monitor) This means the display is set to 1024x768, and I can't set...

    Where to find DVD drivers?

    The End of the Swipe-and-Sign Credit Card

    The Bitcoin Insanity Continues — Prices Top $450

    Nobody except a small number of drug users actually uses bitcoin as a currency. Bitcoin is bought by speculators and its price is almost completely due to speculators. Take the speculators out of the market and you get the real price, which might be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 cents...

    AI vs. AI. Two Chatbots Talking to Each Other

    Bitcoin Mining GPU Performance Comparison @ [H]

    At some point in the next year, bitcoin's price will collapse and the miners will give up and pull out. Of course, it would only take a couple people to keep the blockchain going, so the last bitcoin will be generated when the final person gives up and shuts down the software.

    Bitcoin Mining GPU Performance Comparison @ [H]

    The main reason why bitcoin is desirable is that it has recently been going up in value rapidly. The speculators, who make up almost all of the buyers, don't care about anything else regarding bitcoins besides that.
