    Asus hidden cable alliance

    So this "cable free" design is one that uses a connector on the motherboard that is powered... by a separate cable to the motherboard? Snide remark aside, I can see this as being a cleaner alternative as those cables to the motherboard tend to look nicer, and who knows maybe we'll get...

    Apple still hasn't figured out how to make a wireless chip

    Back in the good ol' days Apple would have just taken the other technology, reverse engineer it, and come out with the own version saying they developed it, then end up settling for half a billion for patent violations a decade or more later. So sad where Apple ended up!

    Marvel's Avengers is 90% off at $3.99, being de-listed on digital stores 9-30-23

    That's alright, the concept of "canon" no longer applies due to the multiverse shenanigans, they just call it Earth-69691234 and have a day

    Misunderstanding between Microsoft & California judge results in leak of confidential documents submitted to FTC for Activision Blizzard merger

    Starfield’s Performance on Nvidia’s 4090 and AMD’s 7900 XTX analyzed by Chips and Cheese

    Out of curiosity is this one of those 4k ultra issues only? Or is the game with lower settings/resolution also having issues too?

    [GOG] Cyberpunk 2077 & Phantom Liberty Goodies Collection FREE till 9-25-23

    So I'm guessing the ambiguous nature of the title is you so not get "Cyberpunk 2077" and "Phantom liberty goodies" but instead you get goodies for Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty?

    Ai Designed Soda flavored Coca Cola

    Uh oh... the truth in this new "AI designed soda" is that the AI put brain controlling parasitic nanobots in the soda, and you've just been infected!

    Ai Designed Soda flavored Coca Cola

    ouch, they really did put that "wonder element" into everything. I can't even comprehend a usage case where asbestos is necessary in water pipes, at least with things like heating ducts you could make the argument of being fireproof

    Ai Designed Soda flavored Coca Cola

    I agree, but also disagree, different types of sugars and how and where they are processed do differ based on frucose or glucose nature, but yeah they're all the most addictive substance every used by mankind and we consume way too much of them whether it's 'natural' sugar, HFCS, or whatever...

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy threatens employees to return to office or "things are probably not going to work out for you"

    Out of curiosity how much of Amazons work force comprises jobs that can work from home versus having to pee in a bottle or get fired warehouse workers and drive your own car into the grave delivering package for minimal money? Or are those groups not considered employees because they are...

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    I would like to see what (older) consoles have historically done where day 1 titles dont look like they are even on the same system as titles years later as they figure out how to squeeze more out of the existing hardware. E.g. final fantasy 7 looks like absolute ass compared to FF8, compared...

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    Well the rules change everywhere I'm sure, and I'm not quite sure what the laws are in Canuckistan, but it largely depends on what "your fault" is. The rules usually are if you're let go due to "misconduct", and I don't think this guy saying this which started this whole shitstorm can be...

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy threatens employees to return to office or "things are probably not going to work out for you"

    There are some interesting parallels here, where customer service jobs were largely all pushed to call centers, and then off shore to call centers because hey "it's the same level of effectiveness" (it really wasn't) and you dont need the office space and other things like insurance for your...

    [DEAD] [SK Hynix SSDs] Newegg: Solidigm P44 Pro 2TB $105

    no kidding, we hit the point where 2TB drives are roughly twice the cost of 1TB drives, but 4TBs are still more than twice the cost of 2TB drives, I'm guessing because higher density chips needed which are costlier or perhaps if they put on both sides of the stick that costs significantly more...

    Yum! Ramen for Starving E-Gamers: 24-Pack 3-Oz Creamy Chicken Maruchan Ramen $5.76 @Amazon/Walmart

    One thing I used to do when I was in college and could consume salt faster than a large farm animal, is I'd crush up a bunch of Cheese-It crackers and put it into some very plain "chicken" ramen, and I don't mean just a couple like enough so that the crackers would absorb almost all the liquid...

    NVIDIA announces DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction, launches this Fall

    Did they though? Seems that they convinced a bunch of people that "DLSS 3 is 40 series only" and I'm sure some fraction of those people bought 40 series cards DLSS MOAR! Hence more money.

    Yum! Ramen for Starving E-Gamers: 24-Pack 3-Oz Creamy Chicken Maruchan Ramen $5.76 @Amazon/Walmart

    6 bucks is a good deal? God damn inflation, I remember getting that stuff 8 for a dollar when it wasn't on sale, when it went on sale 10-12 for a dollar. That said, that stuff is real hard times food for me, always has been, seems like a good idea, but then after eating it I feel like such...

    Denuvo to Introduce Switch Emulator Protection Software

    Yes piracy hurts gaming because if it wasn't for piracy there would be no DRM like Denuvo, and Denuvo costs money to implement so the game devs end up making less money, and restricts those who actually have to use games with it even if by a bit, therefore piracy hurt the industry

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    Well I mistyped, I meant to say profit per board/card sold, not as a whole to the company. And the reason is pretty simple, lower prices could end up making more profit in the long run with more purchases, I'm not privy to their financials and it certainly gets quite complicated where that...

    Just in time to make interdimensional-alien fighting quantum-computing-antigravity-A.I.: ✨Room temperature superconductors✨

    extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, maybe they should have spent the better half of the past 3 years retesting and verifying what they were seeing rather than worrying about getting a patent on it (which apparently is what they did) I mean come on "it is superconductive at...

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    Yeah he didn't do it, but it'd be kind of naive of him to think nothing would happen as a result of mentioning the guy's channel but who knows maybe he thought he was doing a solid by giving him a bump, internet stans are a weird bunch. That said if the guy committed suicide because of...

    Yes LMG is absolutely guilty for that and not a victim of it. But the point was how this all started had absolutely nothing to do with that, his EMPLOYEE said some stuff they shouldn't have to a 3rd party who was also taking a video which they posted that pissed off GN who decided to go looking...

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    I'm not a big Linus fan, but I do honestly see him as a victim in this. As I stated above this was some "nobody" who probably drew the short straw for giving tours and those other people who made the video posted it, Linus' group did not post a video calling out HWU & GN, they didn't "approve...

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    All of this because some skinny "nobody" at the LMG was picked as the one to give tours of the facilities, said some "controversial stuff" i.e. he specifically named others and essentially threw them under the bus as being "inferior" and someone posted a video of stuff he said online which...

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    Thoughts? A quick look at the first video, it got 2.7 million views in a day, and for a 45 minute video at that (even if not everyone watched the whole 45 minutes) that's gotta be worth a few bucks. Probably wants to go full Kylo Ren ... "More.... MOOOOOORE!!!!!"

    Eh, much ado about nothing if you ask me.

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, PS5, XBOX

    I would have still gone to the store asking about my card, feign ignorance if they said they emailed you a cancellation. The 15 minutes bit I can understand, because they don't want to keep things reserved for that long, but if the GPU is unavailable what exactly were they reserving? But...

    Diablo 4 review: The horror’s back, and we couldn’t be happier

    Or I could go to a football (American) game, pay well over $200 for parking, admission, hotdog and a beer all for 3-4 hours of enjoyment. So a $200 game that has ten times the play time is totally worth it!!! I agree, "it is a stupid and nonsensical argument", compare apples to apples when...
